catcher09 : Being a White Sox fan I'm not impressed with the nervousness you feel about your bullpen! 
It's the teams out there that are still prowling and have GOOD bullpens that make me nervous!

There is certainly something to be said for any organization that racks up 14 consecutive division titles--talk about consistency !
Don't they draft a whole lot of high school kids, epecially RHP's?
Another great regular season job by Cox and the Braves but don't see them getting past the Astros in the 1st round.

In my opinion it is one of the most impressive streaks in the history of professional sports. 14 years in a row! Im not a Braves fan but that is amazing.
Bobbys best job thus far 14 rookies and 6 in the starting line up and any given time incredible to me!But I've been a fan since you couldnt get people to the game if you gave them the ticket!Bobby is THE MAN!!

Our family knows this young man very well. If he is any indication of the talent the Braves have in the pipeline, I think their streak will continue for awhile.
Just shows what teamwork is all about, not just among the players but the coaching staff, front office, scouts, etc. If other teams were able to put their egos aside and work cooperatively, they MAY be able to duplicate this type of success. INCREDIBLE!
14 in a row is a wondrous feat!!!
I think Cox is a great manager and I think Mazzone is the best pitching coach in the game!!!
But.... and isn't there always a big but
But.... 1 - 4 in the Series really takes away from this!!!

There is a book out called "Scouts Honor " That is about the Braves and how they develope players.
