This surprising factor could influence Braves’ shortstop search more than fans think

Now that the Atlanta Braves have a manager and the coaching staff is filling out nicely, the front office led by Alex Anthopoulos can turn their attention to upgrading the roster. After a handful of particularly surprising decisions when it came to team options, the Braves' bullpen is going to need some love. Adding some rotation help would be nice, but no search looms larger at the moment than at starting shortstop.

No one wants to see 162 games of Nick Allen and less options at short for Atlanta, but finding a fit for the Braves' needs is not going to be easy.
