Milwaukee Braves manager Fred Haney predicts a pennant bid despite last year’s shortcomings. He cites lack of consistent hitting and a strong leadoff man as the major gaps, naming Henry Aaron as capable of a .350–.360 average and insisting the team can win if key players heat up together. He notes Bobby Thomson and Danny O’Connell hurt them but points to overall run production and lineup balance as decisive factors.
