a definite possibility as 5th SP or Relief.

Bennett impressing: When it comes time for the Braves to fill the final spots in their rotation, there's a definite chance they'll be starting the 2008 season with Jeff Bennett on their big league roster. In seven starts with LaGuira in the Venezuelan Winter League, he has gone 3-1 with a 1.25 ERA.

Although he didn't even join Richmond's starting rotation until the latter weeks of this past season, Bennett is one of four pitchers the Braves project to be battling for the final spot in their rotation. With the assumption that Mike Hampton will be healthy, the other three hurlers battling for that fifth spot will be Jair Jurrjens, Chuck James and Jo-Jo Reyes.

If Bennett doesn't win a spot, there's certainly a chance the Braves could keep him in the Majors as a reliever. The 27-year-old right-hander, who has spent the majority of his career as a reliever, is out of options and the Braves aren't likely going to risk losing him to another organization.

this is good...

Clear vision: When Brian McCann gets married on Dec. 1, he won't have to squint toward the back of the church in an attempt to see which of his Braves teammates have arrived. The All-Star catcher had Lasik surgery a few weeks ago, and he's ecstatic about the results.
"It's the best thing I've ever done," the 23-year-old catcher said. "I've never been able to see this well in my entire life."

and something we all must eventually contend with..

Condolences: Thoughts and prayers are expressed toward the family of John Schuerholz, who lost his mother, Maryne, on Monday morning. In his book Built To Win , Schuerholz described his mother as "the sweetest person, my wonderful 'Mud.'"
