		No sooner did Schuerholz arrive than they won their first title in 1991…and the rest is history.
		You'll be there on the incredible night in 1992 when Schuerholz improbably traded for Barry Bonds-only to have the deal nixed at the eleventh hour.
		And in the end, you'll see what the rest of the baseball world has known for the better part of two decades: that through the brilliance of John Schuerholz, the Braves have lived with one motto, and one motto alone-All We Do Is Win.

		Schuerholz covers a wide range of subjects, including the Braves' failed pursuit of free agent Alex Rodriguez; icy negotiations with iconic pitcher Glavine; the Rocker firestorm; Rafael Furcal's DUI charges; and the ill fits that Sanders and Kenny Lofton proved to be with the Braves.
		Schuerholz wrote that in the interim between telling the Mets on a Thursday that he would take their deal and flying to New York on Sunday to sign the contract, "Tommy went through a purgatory of second thoughts.
		Schuerholz said he and Kasten had decided their initial offer to Glavine was greater than they had hoped to make, and that they would come back to him with a flat two-year offer.

	Braves' double-play combination aims for more titles
		While the Braves-- and, by extension, Schuerholz and Cox-- have taken a lot of grief for winning just one World Series championship since this all began in 1991, everyone is slowly being tugged to the realization that this is a momentous accomplishment, something that may never be duplicated.
		John Schuerholz and Bobby Cox every year have been able to find the right ingredients to go into their ballclub.
		While their roles are clearly defined-- Schuerholz is in charge of putting together the roster, while Cox runs things in the clubhouse and on the field-- there's plenty of room for overlapping.

		Schuerholz was left to call a news conference to answer complaints about unreturned phone calls and general unresponsiveness.
		Schuerholz admitted in spring training that he had to "offload'' $10 million from his payroll -- almost exactly what Millwood was expected to seek as a five-plus arbitration player.

		Schuerholz, who came to the Braves before the 1991 season, seems to have just stepped out of a clothing catalogue, nattily adorned most days in suspenders, cuffs and starched shirts.
		Schuerholz has already plotted out how his career will end, but he won't share his plans with anyone.

		Schuerholz replaced Sheffield's big bat by trading for injury-prone outfielder J.D. Drew, who was on the disabled list six times in his five seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals.
		Schuerholz, the architect of Braves teams that have won a remarkable 12 division titles in a row, faced a daunting mandate from AOL Time Warner executives during the offseason: trim $15 million from a $95 million payroll.
		Schuerholz also credits much of the team's success to Cox, who is 28 games shy of 2,000 victories.

		General manager John Schuerholz and team president Stan Kasten, who rarely discuss the specifics of their business dealings, went step-by-step through the negotiations with the two-time Cy Young Award winner.
		Schuerholz also said he tried to respond to a $45 million, four-year proposal that Glavine's agent, Gregg Clifton, faxed to the Braves, Mets and Philadelphia Phillies last week.
		Schuerholz refused to say there's a renewed sense of urgency to bring back Maddux now that Glavine has signed with an NL East rival.

	ESPN.com - Gammons: A win-win trade
		Schuerholz knew he had to reconstruct his pitching and did so by giving up two superb young pitchers, Dan Meyer (in the Hudson trade) and Jose Capellan (in the Kolb deal).
		Now -- with Hudson, Smoltz, John Thomson and Mike Hampton, along with Kyle Davies as the fifth starter -- the only way the Yankees can trade Kevin Brown to Atlanta is if they pay the entire freight -- the Braves have the best rotation in the National League East.
		Schuerholz, one of the greatest GMs in the history of baseball for his run of 13 straight first-place finishes, has put the Braves right back where they usually are.

	JS Online: Taylor'd to fit
		During that long association, Taylor not only became Schuerholz's right-hand man, but also his left-hand man. He was given free rein to delve into every area of Atlanta's baseball operation, from negotiating contracts to staying on top of the ever-changing administrative rules to helping with scouting and player development.
		Schuerholz was brutally honest, telling Taylor that a massive rebuilding project from top to bottom awaited the Brewers' new general manager.
		According to Schuerholz and Snyder, Taylor might have been overlooked because he was too much of a team player instead of someone who toots his own horn.

	Glavine unhappy with Schuerholz \| ajc.com
		In Schuerholz's new book "Born To Win," he wrote that Glavine had a "purgatory of second thoughts" after opting for a three-year deal with the Mets over a three-year offer to stay with Atlanta in December 2002.
		Schuerholz wrote the pitcher changed his mind in an emotional meeting with Schuerholz and Glavine's wife at the Glavines' home, deciding he would stay with the Braves and take their revamped two-year offer.
		Schuerholz speculates in the book that Glavine was pressured by his agent and the players' union to take the bigger Mets offer over Atlanta's.

		Schuerholz says his choices are to trade for a closer or to find one already in the organization.
		John Thomson, Horacio Ramirez and 2005 rookie Kyle Davies are the top candidates to fill the two spots behind Smoltz, Hudson and Sosa.
		Schuerholz confirmed that it is reasonable to suggest the team could deal from that strength to acquire a closer.

		So Schuerholz made a trade for injury-prone right fielder J.D. Drew, signed pitcher John Thomson, who had a losing career record, and re-signed pitcher Jaret Wright, whose major league future had been on life support months earlier.
		Schuerholz also signed reliever Antonio Alfonseca, whose career was in decline.

	ESPN.com: MLB - Schuerholz deserves serious consideration for Hall
		When John Schuerholz first became a general manager in 1981, he was the Kansas City kid, the 41-year-old rookie among GM veterans like Paul Owens, Hank Peters and Dick Wagner, names that defined how to run a club in the '70s.
		John Schuerholz, left, and Bobby Cox have overseen a consistent winning team in Atlanta.
		Fittingly, Schuerholz won a World Series his first year in the game -- 1966, when as a junior-high teacher he wrote a serendipitous, cold-turkey letter to his hometown Baltimore Orioles all but begging for a job in baseball.

		John, genius that he is, attempts, with success, to convince teams that employ him, that success lies in cashing in raw talent for established veterans.

		What Cox started as the club's general manager in 1986 was preserved with the arrival of John Schuerholz as general manager before the start of the 1991 season.
		Since Schuerholz arrived, no other division rival's general manager had been able to construct a team capable of finishing ahead of the Braves in the division standings.
		While Schuerholz has landed top free agents like Maddux and landed the likes of Gary Sheffield and Fred McGriff through trades, Cox's work as the club's general manager from 1986-90 can't be ignored.

		Schuerholz is quick to point out that each of the trio was a No. 1 or No. 2 starter for his previous team.

		Glavine is irritated by Schuerholz's new autobiography, in which the Atlanta GM reveals that the longtime Brave had second thoughts about joining the Mets.
		"John wanted to be especially deferential to Glavine and we rewrote the passage about the meeting at Tommy's house several times to put Glavine in the best light possible," Guest said via E-mail.
		John had real empathy for Glavine at that juncture because John had gone through the same personal meat-grinder some years earlier when he left what was then one of the classiest franchises in baseball at K.C. to go to what was then the butt of baseball jokes in Atlanta."
