LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Once Alex Anthopoulos becomes even more familiar with the organization he acquired when he was named the Braves' general manager a month ago, there's a strong possibility he will once again become the aggressive wheeler and dealer he was when he seldom shied away from trading or acquiring top players during his tenure as the Blue Jays' GM.
But the man who dealt Roy Halladay to Philadelphia and brought Josh Donaldson to Toronto has maintained a patient and methodical approach as he has spent a significant portion of the past few weeks developing and familiarizing himself with the front-office staff that will aid him in his attempt to help the Braves distance themselves from their rebuild as soon as possible.
