The Braves are trying to sign Mike Lowell:

This is very interesting. What happens with Chipper? I figure he would move back to left field if this deal is done. Francouer to center and Diaz in right. Very nice outfield.
Glavine as the #3 starter would shore up the rotation nicely. He'll give then 200+ innings which will be a huge relief for the bullpen. If Hampton comes back healthy that's going to be a hell of a rotation.
They will lose Dotel but he's a walking timebomb of injuries, so good riddance. Soriano will be fine as the closer.
Even without Lowell the infield is very good with Escobar, Johnson, Jones, and Tex. Brian McCann is one of the top catchers in the league.
With the payroll increasing I definately see a return to the playoffs, if not the Division Championship again.
