| Thinking of spring training, Francoeur’s future
With so much attention understandably directed toward the return of Glavine, the situation with Teixeira, the huge question mark in center field, and other matters with the Braves, it's possible that much of their success could also ride on the continued development of their right fielder, who's now the veteran of the Braves outfield, a Gold Glove winner, the team's union player rep, and a team spokesman on many matters. That leadership is emerging, more and more. He's made for that role. Now, it'll be interesting to see how the future continues to unfold for former Atlanta-area prep phenom, the can't-miss prospect, the newlywed, the energetic, upbeat kid who so far been able to thrive despite nearly impossible expectations some have for him. Oh, and it'll obviously be interesting to see if and when he and the Braves come to a multi-year contract agreement that could both cement his status as a face of the franchise and possibly lift at least a little of the pressure off his sizeable shoulders.
Trio's classical sound a life-changing experience
Despite all the impressive accolades, Strezeva knew she didn't want to hop onto the lonely touring circuit without the company of some friends. "I personally enjoy working and collaborating with people much more," Strezeva said. "Plus, it's a lot more fun traveling with friends than being with myself."

Bahl has the group playing in smaller cities all over the country, to be followed by a two-week tour of South Africa this spring.

Bryant Manning is a locally based free-lance writer.
