Atlanta Braves' fans are hopeful the core players returning for the team will benefit from the familiarity with Walt Weiss. However, the staff around Weiss underwent what can best be described as a massive overhaul over this past week. One of the most exciting hires Alex Anthopoulos made for the Braves' dugout was the addition of pitching coach Jeremy Hefner.
At 39 years-old, Hefner earned a glowing reputation thanks to his great work with the Mets pitching staff over the past six seasons in Queens. Braves country is on pins and needles as they await to see what magic Hefner can do with Atlanta's pitching staff.
