The Atlanta Braves roster in 2008 featured several key players, including Chipper Jones, Brian McCann, Mark Teixeira, and Jair Jurrjens. Jones was in the midst of a career season, hitting .364 with 22 home runs and 75 RBIs in just 439 plate appearances. McCann was also having a solid year, batting .301 with 23 home runs and 87 RBIs.
Teixeira had just been acquired from the Texas Rangers in a mid-season trade and proved to be a productive addition to the Braves lineup. He hit .283 with 17 home runs and 56 RBIs in just 54 games with Atlanta.
Jurrjens was one of the top starters on the team, posting a 13-10 record with a 3.68 ERA in 34 starts. Other key contributors on the Braves roster included pitcher Tim Hudson, outfielder Jeff Francoeur, and infielders Yunel Escobar and Kelly Johnson.
Despite having a talented roster, the Braves fell short of making the playoffs in 2008, finishing with an 84-78 record and third place in the NL East.
