Atlanta Braves: Why Dansby Swanson and Ender Inciarte Are Key to Offense in 2019

There is no question that the Atlanta Braves offense struggled mightily towards the end of last season and into the playoffs. And there is reason to believe that they will continue to regress in 2019.

While I think Freddie Freeman and Ronald Acuna are more than capable of putting up similar — if not better — numbers in 2019 than the did last year, almost everyone else in the lineup overachieved.

Nick Markakis had a career season that is not likely to be duplicated. Ozzie Albies had a torrid start to the season, but then slumped in the second half, so we don’t really know what he will be at the major league level yet.
