    Speaking of Willie Harris, I am reminded of Chuck Thomas.

    Kind of reminds me of a right-handed Heyward.

    Troy Glaus and Garret Anderson.

    If we had those SOBs 8 years earlier, our 2002 team might have gotten to the WS.

    This helped refresh some memory:
    http://atlanta.braves.mlb.com/atl/history/players.jsp


    It's kind of surreal that Jim Bouton was once a Brave.

    Never expected John Burkett to become a Brave, but was a great Leo reclamation project.

    Greg Colbrunn. Liked him. Schuerholz got him twice. Guy left both times ASAP. Shocked the 2nd time.

    Don't remember Norm Charlton as a Brave.

    Remember Jody Davis becoming a Brave for 2 Kevin Coffman & another Kevin but don't remember Jody Davis being a Brave for 2 seasons.

    Kind of cool that there was a Brave, named Jack Daniels.

    Ozzie Guillen? Why does that not ring a bell that he was a Brave?

    Danny Heep: that's f'd up, considering he was who the Mets got for Mike Scott.

    Didn't know Tony Larussa was a Brave until getting ready to head down for HOF induction weeked in Cooperstown. Honestly.

    The FA signing of Andy Messersmith was HUGE deal, but the memory is a blur, esp. with having been so young back then. This had to have been a Ted Turner-instigated publicity stunt, like the Bruce Sutter signing.

    Joe Pepitone: that's borderline surreal, too.

    Biff Pocoroba - not so much a surprise, as great pride.

    From the old days, Babe Ruth was a Boston Brave. Really. Before that, Casey Stengel as a player. Before that, Cy Young was a Brave in his last season.


    Need to go through that list when there's more time. From the other side, of those whom it was a suprise did not become a Brave was Britt Burns. Pretty good LH pitcher for the White Sox. Came from Alabama. Strong rumors that he was going to be signed. Yes, kids, even back in the 80's, anybody from the SE was considered a possibility.
