Inciarte headlines list of new Braves in 2016

CF Inciarte: While top prospect Dansby Swanson might become the crown jewel of the Shelby Miller trade, Inciarte also has the potential to be a valuable gem as he prepares to fill two key roles -- center fielder and leadoff hitter. The versatile defender displayed Gold Glove-caliber defense while stealing 21 bases and recording a .747 OPS for the D-backs last year. Inciarte's value is enhanced by the fact that he can be contractually controlled until after the 2020 season.

C Tyler Flowers: After being non-tendered by the White Sox in December, Flowers jumped at the opportunity to rejoin the hometown Braves, the franchise that drafted him in 2005.
