Now less than three weeks from Opening Day, our Braves 2020 Position Ranks series moves on to first base — easily the most consistently productive position for the Braves’ over the last decade. For those just now joining us, be sure to catch up on our previous posts: 2020 NL East Position Rank Series Starting rotation (March
Go ahead and add me to the list of Braves’ fans who are proudly (and perhaps prematurely) declaring 2020 a year of redemption for the soon to be 34-year-old Felix Hernandez.

Coming into Monday’s 6:05 p.m. (EST) matchup with Philadelphia,
The current battle for who will start at the hot corner in Atlanta this year is heating up as the team has now completed nine games of its Spring Training slate down in Florida, most recently a 9-3 loss to the Red Sox on Sunday. Neither Johan Camargo nor Austin Riley played in the loss,
