Jason Schmidt was young when in the Atlanta and didn’t come into in own until years later. No matter what team he is on now he could handle himself with no problem, as he’s one of the best in the game today.
Actually, Jason (who i think is one of the top 5 pitchers in the N.L. btw) has said that he would have never made it as a big league pitcher in atlanta--- some guys benefitted from the advice of those guys, but some guys could not handle the pressure/glaring eyes of, lets face it, some fucking anal-retentive assholes (Glavine, Avery), Jesus-based, anger freaks (Smoltz) and out and out cheaters (Maddox).
Plus they all shoot scratch golf---YOU COULD'NT WIN WITH THESE FUCKERS! I i understand where guys like Schmidt come from.
The latter day success of Atlanta has hinged upon Leo's ability to take "scrap heap" guys and make them whole again (Mike Remlinger, Chris Hammond, John Burkett, Jared Wright, etc, etc) These guys then all go on to get huge contracts with other teams.
I hope Leo gets a cut off all them Busters.......
