ATLANTA -- As Chipper Jones has assessed the Braves' massive organizational overhaul since the end of last season, he has been among those who have felt that the club will be positioned for long-standing success once the sometimes painful rebuild process is completed.
"This team probably won't be in the postseason [this year], and it might not happen next year either, but I can assure you that in terms of sustained success, once we get into the new stadium [in 2017], this organization is in a pretty good spot to be in a competitive state for a while," Jones said.
