    Outfield Power

    What do you guys say? I think it's very possible this outfield could hit the 90 homer mark...... Amazing only 2 teams have done it. We'd be in some good company.

    I say 60-65..can't expect these guys to power up that much at Turner.

    Heyward and Justin could get to 60 by themselves, not saying it is likely but I don't think it is totally out of the question.

    Not saying it's out of the question, just hitting a more realistic number. At times, we get caught up too much into the potential/hype then when they don't hit the number there comes the disappointment and labels such as "overrated." Guarantee when B.J, J-Up, and J-hey struggle (knowing the braves it would come at the same time) folks are going to bash how "overrated" this OF is. It may not be from braves nation but it's going to come at some point.

    It will be on here, the vent thread will be busy if / when that happens.

    More than two have hit over the 90 homerun mark but only 2 have had 3 outfielders hit 30 homeruns each. The SF Giants for example hit over 90 homeruns in the OF. 73 came from Bonds but they did it. They just didn't have 3 hit 30 each.

    I think 75 is the total for the OF.

    I just don't see this outfield being anything less than spectacular. They have the capability and they're already starting to show it. I may be way too optimistic, but I don't think so. I think this team is already starting to gel, and we're in for a real special season

    If I learned anything with the Braves..it's cautious optimism.

    Just because we are stacked with talent doesn't mean we're going to actually see it. We'll get glimpses, I'm sure, throughout the season but what I really want to see is what our identity is going to be post-CJ era. Are we going to scrap together or bank on 1/2 of our guys to carry it for us?

    They can easily hit over 90, but they can also disappoint us and hit 55. Only time will tell...

    90 is too much for this ballpark, but I fully expect to see at least 70. I'll be disappointed if J-Hey and J-Upton aren't both over 30.
