This is something I have noticed the past couple years. With all of the success through the 14-year run, it could have been easy for management to just sit back and think it was going to last forever and continue to manage the staff the same way. But Bobby Cox has shown the ability to win with what he is given. The past couple years have been impossible for anybody to deal with, but he is still getting the most out of his players and always will. Exactly.

In my opinion, this season depends on the rotation more than anything else. If they are able to put last year behind them they should do good things. They took a huge step in that direction with all of the moves made. I do expect Campillo to be in the pen as the long reliever/spot starter. I mentioned him in the rotation article but failed to add him to the bullpen. I guess I'm still used to him starting. Thanks for the heads up. I agree.

Last year the bullpen was shot come June and that's why the Braves were last in all of baseball in saves. It's sort of embarrassing as a Braves fan to be associated with last years pitching staff, so hopefully 2009 will bring something new. Don't you think that Campillo will also be in the pen now, that is unless Glavine can't pitch come Opening Day?
