Vote on the 2007 Bravescast Awards and a Look Ahead for 2008

With ‘07 now officially behind us it is now time to look ahead to 2008. Before I do that though, I will say that ‘07 was once again a year of changes for the braves. The past few seasons we have scene some major changes. ‘07 was the final Braves telecast for TBS and also the last of the AOL/Time Warner ownership group. If that wasn’t enough, they also changed general manager and multiple players. ‘07 marked the end for longtime Atlanta Brave Andrew Jones and an all star caliber short stop in Edgar Renteria.

Indeed a lot has and will continue to change before the start of the ‘08 season. We will see some familiar faces in Braves uniforms come spring training. Former battery mates Tom Glavine and Javy Lopez will return in a Braves uniform for the ‘08 season. The Braves will no doubt be able to continue to do what they have done best over the last decade plus and that is bring up young incredible talent. I am interested to see how the former prospects of McCann, Francouer, K Johnson, and Chuck James perform. These guys will soon be into the star of the “prime” years. Down on the farm, there are also guys like Jordan Shafer, Brandon Jones, and Joey Devine among others that will be battling for those final spots on the big league roster. This spring will be one unlike others that I have seen in a while. I will not only be interested in seeing the starters but also all those young guys who will fill the lst 6 innings of long 9 inning spring training games. Who will be this year’s surprise player, or diamond in rough kind of guy? Who will be this year’s Braves MVP? The next two weeks we will try to answer those questions and more and we want your help to determine those answers. This week’s upcoming show will answer the best of 2007 and the following show will be a special fan prediction show.

We want to know some of the following 2007 Bravescast Award Winners: 2007 MVP, biggest surprise player, Pitcher of the year, hitter of the year, biggest impact from the minor leagues in ‘07. To cast your vote for you favorite e-mail us at hosts@bravescast.com or call the voicemail line at 678-608-2721. We will announce the winner early next week (probably Monday Jan, 7th).
