Is Bobby Cox finally getting it? For years we have been left with Cox keeping his veterans in despite a bench of unknowns who truly want to make a difference on the team.
I’d be the first to sign a petition that the Atlanta Braves need to move on with Kelly Johnson and Jeff Francoeur and give these young guys a chance full time. Finally, Cox decided to do that by announcing Martin Prado as a starter.
He’s thanked the Braves with two huge nights in a row against rival Philadelphia Phillies, bringing them 2 games closer to the top with an 11-1 whipping tonight. Once again, Prado was the man. A special hat tip also need to go to pitcher Jair Jurrjens, who pitched a one-hit beauty against a hard-hitting squad.
Cox is likely, and quote honestly hopefully, in his last year with the Braves. A few more powerful wins and a 10-game wins streak might instill the energy this team needs for the long haul. I don’t think any of us can say Bobby doesn’t deserve to leave the game on a high note.

Stan, come on. Cox is getting old and he's made some real interesting coaching decisions these last few years. But, I personally still love him.
