But he did keep the core together, so credit must be given where due.

Again, he was a good GM who was blessed with a HoF core. Any competent professional sports management mind could have won with that, just like any competent middle manager could win with the current Braves roster.

AA is truly special. He constructed this extremely talented roster that someone like Snit can simply let run on autopilot. The roster is so talented Snit's mistakes are largely mitigated because it doesn't matter which star hits 2nd or 6th, or which high leverage BP arm pitches in the 5th or 8th.
