Agreed. But my expectations have gone from 65 wins up to somewhere in the 70's now. This is not going to be a historically bad team.
Dan Uggla put up historically pathetic numbers the past two years. He was so bad that the Braves essentially gave him away and agreed to pay his salary. Now he plays for a division rival and they just paid him to beat them with a three run homer. Edit: Uggla will actually be paid more by the Braves this year than anybody who actually plays for them.

Good lord.... This is gonna be a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong season....
My dad got me watching Sports in 1988. Between the Braves and the Vols, by October of of that year, I just accepted my lot in life as someone that rooted for losers. It feels like '88.
