The answer to that question is more a function of what we are offered than it is our desire to make more significant moves. It feels like we are ready to head to Orlando, but if somebody blows us away with an unbelievable opportunity, like with the Simmons and Miller trades, we have to consider it. I consider John Schuerholz the greatest GM of all time, and 14 straight division titles may never happen again, and those teams on average had 10 new players each season. It's like the one-liner from one of my favorite movies: "We're like 7-Eleven. We're not always doing business, but we're always open."
First of all, points for the Boondock Saints reference, Coppy. What Braves fans can take away from this, is that the 2016 roster is pretty much set, and that the rebuilding process has now moved to the development phase. Given the "hyperinflation" (his word) in the free agent market, all indicators are pointing to the organization staying the course that they undertook in the 2014 off season, building a winner from within, with minimal help from free agency. One has to give the organization credit, they have accomplished exactly what they set out to do from day one in terms of getting the pieces in place, now they just have to pan out. That's the easy part, right?
