Needs his own thread on this one I’m sorry.

20 win club for the Braves. Only a few have matched this feat.

The names:

Glavine

Smoltz

Maddux

(somewhat assumed)

Denny Neagle

Russ Ortiz (last to do so in 2003)

Would you consider Maddog the best picture in Braves History?

Even though he never won 20 games?

What about Smoltz?

He won 19 a bunch of times.   Smoltz looks like only had that one 20+ year.

But Maddux's Atlanta years and the ERA he put out there is amazing.   Totally a dominant pitcher then.   Smoltz and Glavine were great and clutch but not as consistently dominant as Maddux in my opinion.

Yeah, I said that too.  I know Glavine was the master of 20 win years but he was never (to me) a dominating pitcher.  I think Maddux was.   Smoltz was too... especially in 96 when he blow through the league... but his one great year is trumped by Maddog's consistency. Unlike Glavine, I don't think you could ride Maddux 9 innings (the way we used him). 

Nobody ever says anything about Avery.
