Braves Trying to Send Bobby Cox Out a Winner

Atlanta Braves are trying to send out their long time manager Bobby Cox with a World Championship ring. Cox announced in spring training hat this would be his last season as a field general. Baseball picks sites all know that the Braves entered the season with slim hopes of getting to the Fall Classic. Atlanta has proven sports handicappers wrong by leading the National League East as we get close to the September stretch run.

One week after losing Chipper Jones to a season ending knee injury the Braves traded for slugging 1^st basemen Derek Lee. Lee in that lineup will add the power that has been lacking since Jones went out with a torn ACL. Atlanta now has a balance lineup that can mash the ball with the rest of the National League.

If this had not been Cox’s final season they would not of given up 3 prospects to get Lee from the Cubs. Now that the lineup is set the Braves strong pitching staff can now attack hitters knowing they have the lineup to outscore teams. After a long drought that has not seen the Braves in the playoffs for 7 years, it’s nice to see one of the great managers of all time go for the ring one more time.
