Thank you but that is simply your opinion. I've followed the Braves for
years and I honestly had more confidence in Gene Garber in his hey-day than I
did in Wohlers. He certainly didn't possess Wohlers' remarkable fastball, but
his junk was generally effective. I do believe he held the club saves record
for a number of years, and he played for some dismal teams. It still makes me
wonder why I liked watching him pitch, but can't stand to watch McMichael.
They threw the same type slop to the hitters !

I feel vindicated. :-) BTW, both Mark Wohlers and Steve Avery had decent single A outings......

Rocker will not get handle on the "control thing" in the minors; we might as well send Furcal down to get a handle on his defensive errors. Both are ML...
