Another Brave in McGriff
-
We never got a SS McGriff last year, which was kind of a bummer. So I’m looking forward to this.
-
Lol, this was the Cardinals last year and we heard about it all season.
Now if we have a Julio Franco mini boss next inning I might start asking some questions... lol

2003 AS Rafael Furcal... they haven't even scratched the surface!
Realistically we will probably still get Spahn, a better Eddie, Kimbrel, a better Maddux, Andrew Jones, Maybe a FB Freeman and maybe a better Klesko. Probably a high diamond SP smoltz as well. They might even give Steve Bedrosian a braves diamond instead if a phillies one just because they can

I don't hate the Braves and I don't hate McGriff, its just that there are other teams out there. It gets silly.

I dont hate on the Braves love my only issue with it is I will now have 3 Braves first basemen Freeman, Kelsko, McGrif.
PS can I get McGrif on the Jays and/or Rays please
I think there's 4 or 5 diamond CF for the braves right now as well. Granted most of them are prospects.

People were kidding about this yesterday and it’s real tomorrow. What’s the deal SDS? Another Brave? Why?
I know, right? What we need is another Yankee!
-
Funny to say this coming from the Mets fan that but it’s not my issue that it’s just Braves or the Yankees it’s that it’s the same teams over and over again

They could have put out McGriff as a Padre or Jay. Brewers, Royals, Diamondbacks, Rockies and others have nothing outside of TA and collection. Yet its early may and we have like 20 Yankees and 20 Braves.
-
Mcgriff's best years were actually in Toronto... we also got Alomar and Carter for him and Tony.. so any Jays fan should love the crime dog for both reasons...
I don't think of him as a Brave.
I think of him equally with TOR, ATL, SD and TB. -

Finally showing some love for the best team in the 90’s
Toronto won more World Series in the 1990s than Atlanta
-
Man it would be awesome to get a Flashback for some more recent Giants players. Ya know from those players that won 3 world series so close together... without even having to bang on a f'n trash can. Or would that make too much sense for the year 2020 where nothing makes sense at all?

I’ve been waiting for a 99 Linecum with 150 break

It’s like my opinion on why would you put Olerud as Mets collection reward when you have Alonso as the face of franchise and best offensive player? Both players can only play first base so now Allonzo has to sit on the bench

It's tough to make all time team builds this way

I’m okay with this, let’s get the Braves out of the way now.

Yeah...and? Miami won one as well. So I guess they're as good as the Braves in the 90’s? How many times did they make it to the playoffs after the 93’ season or win a division? Don’t worry, I’ll wait.

Toronto won 2 championships... And won division in '91 as well. Almost '90 as well... '94 was strike year...
So 2 titles and 3 division wins...
Only the Yankees can beat that in the 90's with 3 titles...First half of the 90's belong to the Jays..
Second half to the Yanks. -
Braves are more of a story of postseason failures in the 90's.. always getting one upped.. except for '95.
'91 - Jack Morris completely shutting the door.
'92 - The Jays coming up in clutch moments one after another. Winfield ending it.
'93 - running into the miracle Phils
'94 - Expos were the best team in the East
'96 - Yankees dynasty begins
'97 - Marlins stun them. Huge upset
'98 - Padres stun them. Huge upset
'99 - swept in WS to YankeesOther than '95, the Braves were the Bills of MLB.
