The 2017 Braves have some key veteran players returning, like first baseman Freddie Freeman, pitcher Julio Teheran and outfielder Matt Kemp, and they have some up-and-comers stepping in too, like shortstop Dansby Swanson.

They’ve also added some valuable starting pitchers and long-time Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips.

So there’s reason for optimism about the upcoming season. Once the long 162-game schedule has played out, who do you think will have proved himself to be the most valuble player in a Braves uniform?
