("...the one who procured the talent")<BR/><BR/>Glavine was drafted well before Schuerholz took over.<BR/><BR/>Smoltz was acquired in a trade (Doyle Alexander to the Tigers) during Cox's tenure as GM of the Braves, which I think a lot of people (including paid journalists) forget.<BR/><BR/>And this is just speculation on my part, but given that Chipper was drafted in the first season of Schuerholz's tenure as GM, it's at least somewhat likely that it was Cox and his team who did the early legwork on that one.</B>Ken Tremendoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15290167169845520176noreply@blogger.com
