I was going to wait until the season was over before writing this article, but considering that for all intents and purposes this season has been over in Atlanta for nearly two weeks now I figured it was okay to go ahead with it now.
To review, 2009 has been up and down all season long. One baseball person remarked during the season that this Braves team was "just good enough to break your heart." That turned out to be absolutely true.
I can't count the times this team has broken mine and many other Braves fans hearts this season.
As good as this team could have been with what was the best starting rotation in the National League was completely undone by an incredibly inconsistent lineup.
With that said, it's time to look to 2010 and beyond. How can the Braves improve? What needs to be done to get Atlanta back to the playoffs?
I agree with esteemed Braves Featured Columnist, Cameron Britt, these Braves need a renaissance. It's time to let go of the streak of the 90's-00's. It's time to embrace their history while getting younger and cheaper for the future.
Here's my plan for 2010 and beyond.
