Braves start spring with 3 new pitchers, new outlook (Yahoo Sports)

Eager for a fresh start and armed with a new rotation, the Atlanta Braves started spring training with an air of confidence and optimism, especially for a team coming off a season of 93 losses. ''Hopefully this is not a rebuild,'' said left fielder Matt Kemp, an early arrival on the day of the first organized workout for pitchers and catchers. Kemp, who came in a trade from San Diego at the end of July, was not around for the dismal start that doomed Atlanta to a last-place finish.
