Why would you want Peavy to come to the Braves when we would have to give up great young talent in Escobar and Hanson. Hanson will be the next Peavy and Burnett rolled into one superstar of a young pitcher. Wren and the Braves have made some good moves and I am excited about where the club is heading.

Dear God man, get over Smoltz. Please do not write another word about him until he throws a meaningful pitch somewhere.

Peavy is a great but thank god we did not bring back the sloth Andryw Jones and the gutless mike Hampton.

So we didn’t get a bunch of injury prone players, re: Smoltz, Hampton, Griffey, how is that going to hurt the team? I look forward to a great season with some “much younger” and talented players. Go Braves!!!!!

Terrence,once again you have broken up the doldrums of the day by writing an article that entices the local yahoos to attack you with their dumb ass remarks. Some guy even suggests that the Braves are set to win the division and the NL pennant. Wow!!!! Keep up the good work.

Old age and treachery wins over youth and vigor in most instances, but not baseball. The good times will shortly roll for the Braves and the old boys will bask in their millions and memories.

T. Moore, where did Smoltz get that postseason reputation? You have expressed before that the Braves owe Smoltz because Smoltz has “given” so much. Look what he got! If it was not for the Braves, he would not even have had the opportunities that he has had in the postseason. There is so much more that Smoltz “got” from the Braves, but I won’t mention it. All you have to do is look a little deeper. So again I ask, what does he owe the Braves? But you even mentioned that the reason the Sox want him is because of his postseason reputation. So it seems that he even owes them the opportunity to play for the Sox. Hmmm.

The past is past,looking forward I see the Braves contending for the division this year,next year I see them winning the division and possibly the National League pennant…Young pitching and defense and timely hitting is the key this year….How long before they bring up Hanson?Go Braves

Does anyone else that has read TM’s recent work feel like they’re watching a train wreck?

As to the actual content of the column, there is nothing in it that hasn’t been hashed out in the blogs both at the AJC and elsewhere over the past few week. I think we ended up with a pretty decent offseason, and I’m lookikng forward to reading columns about the team we have – not the one we could have had.
