How are the Braves Winning?
I was just looking at the Braves boxscore from today and noticed Vinny Castilla batting 6th. His numbers: .247 BA, .275 OBA, .397 slugging. You want him for defense, fine, but don't bat him 6th. Plus, you have Javy Lopez who isn't much better at .239, .286, .368. Once again, they are all pitching. Chipper and Sheffield should be having better years, and luckily Andruw Jones is finally living up to expectations. Every year, though, the Braves go into the post-season with great pitching and minimal offense, and get shut down by teams with good pitching and great offense. Looks like it may happen again.
