Pseudo-new fan with some questions

Hey guys,

So probably not the best season to come around here I guess, but it is what it is. I have been an Atlanta fan all my life, just have not been as into baseball as much until recent years. Even still I would best be described as a casual fan of baseball as I enjoyed watching but wasn't really familiar with the finer details of a team (especially developmental players). Now more so because of our incredible start, I want to dive into these finer points. (Having already committed to season tickets for suntrust park might also carry some weight). So to my questions:

• What is the general attitude towards these huge roster trades over the past year or so from the more astute baseball fans? I hear a lot of opinions from people I get the feeling have no idea what they are talking about.

• How much potential is there in the players we have in development?

• Is there a site or source that produces regular braves news specifically related to trades or general development? I have used mlb trade rumors a few times in the past, is that the best one or is there better?

I think that is all I have now, I might come up with a couple more later.

Thanks
