ATLANTA -- An optimist might say that each of the first four hitters in Atlanta's projected lineup is capable of producing a 30-homer season. A realist might suggest that it's accurate to project this mark for three of the players and a 25-homer season for the fourth.
However you cut it, the Braves -- just four seasons removed from barely reaching the century mark with their homer total -- suddenly have the potential for one of baseball's most intimidating top-of-the-lineup foursomes -- third baseman Josh Donaldson, first baseman Freddie Freeman, outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr.
