Mark Kotsay said he's fully recovered from March 2007 surgery. He's excited about the chance to play for the Braves and manager Bobby Cox � and restore his free-agent value. He hopes to play 150 games. "Bobby's a veteran manager and knows how to get the most out of players," said Kotsay, whose best season was 2004, when he hit .314 with 15 homers and a .370 on-base percentage. "I'm definitely motivated to go out and continue playing this game at the level I can. I had a healthy year in '04. In '05 and '06 I was not necessarily at 100 percent, but I contributed to the success of those teams, and we made the AL Championship Series [in 2006]." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution
