Next year, next year, next year... the Braves motto for life
Yeah @Teddy the point of this thing is to win. At some point you can’t keep deferring to next year and make some attempts to build a winner now.
Worked OK for 15 years in a row....I could never hardly wait for next year.
Which 15 years? When they were winning pennants, or these past roughly 15 years? When they were winning, they were generally a top 3-5 team in terms of payroll/spending. They didn't wait on next year, they pounced immediately to improve the team.
the former, of course. I could hardly wait for the next season to begin and win.
So it didn't work OK for 15 years in a row, as they were spending money for players then. Now they have the opposite approach. A Pirates/Tampa Bay like approach. Load up on prospects and hope they pan-out for cheap, give the fans a playoff appearance every so often, so that they keep showing up for games and raking in the dough for us.
The Braves have not won a playoff series since 2001. When is this magical “next year” where we have a championship caliber roster going to come?
Kirbie -
Why, next year of course.
