Jay - it has actually been over a decade since the Braves were really good and the fan base is ready for the new blood.
They have several more very good ( 'very good' just replaced 'elite' - I mean, who's zoomin' who? ) pitching prospects on the horizon - as they have learned the old saying, 'You can never have enough pitching." may be the 'most true' statement about today's game.
If a team accumulates ten hot prospects, they will be very lucky if as many as two live up to their 'press-clippings'. The Braves' brass have hedged their bets accordingly.
