He is what Chipper was, A lifer Atlanta ball player. You don’t find that often anymore. Sometimes a presence is more than numbers.
You can count the great ones on one hand. Not the Cobb’s or Bond’s with he great numbers. But the ones that stand on the field and everyone looks at as THE MAN. The one that will some way somehow get it done.

If he is ready by Opening Day that would be even better. Without Chipper to root for McCann is my guy.
