And I'm talking <strong>before</strong> the Tigers stomped Yankee-butt.

The Marlins got major-league ready talent and I would expect nothing less from Atlanta. Andruw Jones is one of two (McCann the other) players I would barely explore trading. But everyone else would/should be fair game. Why would this be a couple of years deal? The Marlins got major-league ready talent and I would expect nothing less from Atlanta.

I'm not sure that I could go through the mulitple seasons that a tear down and rebuild job would take for us to get back to contention. I had enough multi year mediocrity during the bad old 80's. This off season should be interesting. The Braves again have a solid base especially in 7 of the starting 9 position players. There is enough that needs to be fixed for us to all watch with bated breath to see what transpires.

It's also a lot more fun for us wanna-be GMs to discuss an Andruw Jones trade than to say, "Well the Braves signed Dewayne Wise today to compete for a bench job..."
