Cox makes a lot of long-range decisions that will look odd to you when you are thinking short-range. IMO the reason for his long-term success and for the Braves winning their division so consistently is that Cox is such a long-range thinker...which may also at least partially explain why he and the Braves don't do that well in the playoffs, which are the ultimate in short-range baseball.

Maybe you hit the nail on the head as to why every Oct. Cox makes me bang my head against the wall.
