I think the Cards have gone for it plenty. they're awfully good about making sound moves while re-tooling and seem to have an inexhaustible supplies of good evaluations that they develop well.
the 90s Braves are a tale of two separate eras. The Championship Braves actually ended with the 90s essentially. The decent Braves held together with spit and tape went on for a good while longer, but never really threatened to win much. I'm not sure there was ideal value in riding that one slowly down to its ultimate conclusion. A pretty decent farm system helped tremendously until your guy finished depleting it.
