The Atlanta Braves' All-Decade Team

The 2000s, at least first half of them, were a good decade for the Atlanta Braves.

With superstars plentiful throughout, making this list was difficult.

But, I was finally able to assemble a catcher, first baseman, second baseman, short stop, third baseman, three outfielders, five starters, a reliever, and a closer (with the year that each had their immaculate performance).

With eight players coming from just two seasons, it may look like I became lazy while making this.

But, I assure you, this article took a lot of time and I feel that these fifteen players had the best indiviual seasons at their respective positions of any other player to man their post (and players can appear only ONCE each, you'll see why later).

At the end, I'll assemble a line-up and rotation.

Hope you enjoy!
