A.J., Flowers aiming to lead young Braves rotation

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- There's something beautiful about the perspective of a kid.

Tyler Flowers hadn't yet started Little League but had fallen in love with baseball when his hometown Braves were going with Javy Lopez as their primary catcher and veteran Charlie O'Brien as the backup.

"It seems like it was those two guys for a 30-year period," Flowers said.

It was two seasons, actually, but one of those was 1995, the magical year when the Braves beat the Indians in the World Series and we all thought they were on their way to many more parades.
