Roster 2012

Atlanta Braves Opening Day 40-Man Roster 2012

The Braves' roster for 2012 bears a striking resemblance to that of the previous year. Unable to make a significant trade in the Winter using Martin Prado and Jair Jurrjens as bait, Frank Wren brings Fredi Gonzalez back the core of his 2011 team, who did so well in 2011 prior to September. Comeback years are predicted for Jason Heyward and Tommy Hanson, whilst high hopes are placed on rookies Randall Delgado and Tyler Pastornicky.
