2. Greg Maddux played what postion?

Answer: Starting pitcher

He had been one of the best pitchers in the National League for years. He is a "Golden Glove" winner for many years as well, fielding his position better than most. In 2003, Maddux became the first pitcher in Major League history to win at least 15 games in 16 straight seasons.

3. The Braves fans saw Rafael Furcal playing what position?

Answer: Shortstop

With his quickness and strong arm, he ranked among the leadng shortstops in the major league. His error totals were a little high, but didn't take away from his overall value to the team.

4. Andruw Jones was seen at what position in 2003?

Answer: Centerfield

Andruw was one of the top center fielders in the business. He was a multiple "Golden Glove" winner, and chased down and caught most balls hit his way. He had an excellent throwing arm that often discouraged runners from trying to take an extra base on a hit.

5. Marcus Giles played what positon?

Answer: Secondbase

Giles was the kind of ballplayer that managers loved. Giles played as hard as he could on every play of every ballgame.

6. From the outfield bleachers, the fans saw Javier Lopez where?

Answer: Catcher

Lopez had a career season in 2003, setting new standards for most of his offensive stats. He had hit well above .300 all season, hit more home runs than any catcher in the history of major league baseball, and played very well defensively.

7. Robert Fick played what position throughout the season?

Answer: Firstbase

Fick was one of 3 first basemen the Braves had on their roster. He won the primary starting position against righthanded pitchers while sitting out some games against lefthanders, when ageless Julio Franco got the start. The other first baseman Matt Franco, another left handed hitter, got some starts but was primarily used as a pinch hitter.

8. Vinny Castilla played at what infield position?

Answer: Third base

One of the best fielding third basemen in the league, he saved many opponent runs with great plays. He batted around .275-.280 all season, and was one of six players on the Braves team to hit at least 20 homeruns.

9. Gary Sheffield was seen by Braves fans playing what position?

Answer: Right field

What can you say about Gary? One of the superstars of baseball, Gary was one of the top 2 or 3 players in the running for the "National League Most Valuable Player" award for 2003.

10. Where was John Smoltz seen on the field in 2003?

Answer: Relief pitcher

One of the two top closers in the National League, John had some arm trouble late in the season, went on the disabled list for a time, but was back and ready for the playoffs.
