In my opinion, the Braves orginization is the best in baseball without a doubt. To have different players every year and to keep going to the playoffs, 13 straight no less, is nothing short of awesome. The one thing they have lacked : POSTSEASON PLAYERS! I hope to change this...as I revamped this team. I've used a modified UNIVERSE.DAT where I edited the some of the braves stats, to match what they've done in the 2004 season. I pused Chipper down a bit, same with Andruw Jones, and made the proper adjusments, to Adam LaRoche, Charles Thomas, Jaret Wright and a few other pitchers. I also went around the league to the top ten pitchers and hitters and editied thier stats so they would mirror thier season stats with the REAL WORLD stats of this season. After all, I wanted this to be fair. This is what I've done to change Atlanta...

First thing I did, was trade Andruw Jones...this kid has so much wasted talent, and he's frustrated me for years. He could hit 8 homers in a three game series, then strike out 8 times in the next three game series, BAS-TARD! So I traded Andy to Baltimore for Jerry Hariston and some cash. I won't make Jerry my starter, but he'll be a solid backup to Marcus Giles. I moved JD Drew to center and made Eli Marrero my RFer and Thomas my left fielder..oh well here is the offense.

1. Furcal SS
2. Thomas LF
3. Giles 2B
4. Drew CF
5. C Jones 3B
6. Marrero RF
7. Estrada C
8. Laroche

Backups -
Julio Franco - 1b
Derosa - IF
Hairston - IF
Tyner - OF
Perez - C
Green - IF

PITCHING

I had to get rid of Hampton, he's a SOLID pitched, but he is too dam-n expensive. So, I've gotten rid of him...and traded for a million bucks to the White Sox. So here is my pitching....

1. Jaret Wright
2. Russ Ortiz
3. Paul Byrd
4. Horacio Ramirez
5. John Thompson

Closer - Smoltz
Setup - Alfonseca
Short - Gryboski
Middle - Reitsma
Long - Cruz
Alt - Jose Capellan

lots of AAA Players...

let me sim it...RESULTS SOON!

Disappointing. Once again, GREAT regular season, 114 wins in MANAGER MODE! I was shocked. It was one of those years for the braves where the Braves kicked a-ss in the regular season and messed it up in the playoffs. JD Drew was my star offensive player, .304, 35 HRs, and 135 RBIs. My best Starting pitcher was Paul Byrd with a 2.93 ERA, and a 15-2 record. Not bad! 287 team average and a 3.30 Team ERA. It was an UNBELIEVABLE regular season. We took out the Cubs in 4 games, in the first round of the playoffs. Then the Braves took the first game of the NLCS, 12-0...great game. Then Atlanta got swept in four straight games. It was sick...oh well...I guess it's a new curse? LOL

Awards
Shocking, only Furcal and Ortiz made it the All Star game. Adam Laroche and Furcal got gold gloves and that was it. Oh by the way, the MARINERS won the World Series, going through the Yankees in the NLDS and the Sox in the ALCS....ouch...

oh well...stinks!!
