What Could Have Been

With the Braves current success that will eventually end up too little too late, the Braves fans have to be asking themselves, “Is this what could have been?” That is…if we had consistency in the back end of the rotation. Or if the offense would have showed up every night. Or if the players played like the season was on the line a few weeks earlier.

Next year the Braves rotation should have a different feel to it. My guess is that we will see a trade in the offseason to pick up a third starter. Chuck James will be moved to four and the Braves will see what (if anything) Mike Hampton still has left in the tank. Buddy Carlyle will be a fifth starter/insurance policy and there will be no Andruw Jones. The heart of the Braves lineup will remain intact other than Andruw.

Do you disagree? If so let me know what you predictions are. E-mail us at hosts@bravescast.com.

Are you willing to part ways with Andruw, Thorman, Diaz, or Harris. Where you upset when they traded away Salty? Something big will happen this off season. Let us know your ideas for the club. Reality or not, we want to hear it!
