Which Brave should NOT be enshrined into Cooperstown?

Well folks, there is another sports poll here…and its about, guess who, the Braves.

Everyone is welcome to vote…even the ones that voted last time that Maddux shouldnt make the Hall. Everyone is allowed here…no matter what their IQ is.

Today, I am just a bit curious after reading an article posted by MLB.COM in which Don Sutton…the Dodger HOF’er who, in Braves circles, is known as a broadcaster of Braves games since the late eighties….[until recently when he left for the broader pastures of the Washington Nats...with a much larger paycheck signed by former Braves President Stan Kasten] wrote that he thought “ Huddy” should be enshrined into Cooperstown…that was also before “Huddy” threw a 3-Hitter at the “knats”.

Well…you can read the article. …and then vote.

A. Come on, that poll wasn’t even CLOSE to requiring thought. Huddy is, of course, the answer. The rest WILL be in the HOF if they all quit right now.

B. Sutton didn’t leave for a larger paycheck, he was for all intents and purposes, fired. They didn’t renew his contract & thus he went looking for another gig. He didn’t want to leave but AOL/Time Warner decided that he’d be one of the last cluster@#$%s that that horrendous corporation foisted on Braves fans as they left town. In short, they screwed him over.

When we’ll finally recover from the AOL/TW debacle is the true poll question, IMO. :)

Hudson? Seriously?

Hudson isn’t even close to being a HOFer right now.

You know you folks are correct as usual. I seem to have more trouble asking the correct question than providing the appropriate answers.

If you read the article then you would understand what I meant by what I said (or asked)…only my son and smijer know what I mean instead of what I am saying (or asking…damn).

Question should have been “more” like this.

“Continuing their current pace or production and the competition that each faces, …and assuming, beyond unjuries, that each non-adminstration player listed plays a full career…who would you feel should “not” be elligible for induction into Cooperstown?”

Not least likely…but should “not” be inducted.

Better?

Knowing u guys, probably not. :)

As for Don Sutton…They have been juggling the entire announcing staff for the last 4 years. Most anything you will find on the subject is going to be official press releases but TBS is pretty much in the process of going from an Atlanta Braves station to an MLB station period. The Yanks dont have to flip between 5 different stations to find out where there team is playing.

Skip Careys health is going out on him (he doesnt sound well at all) but its quick blurbs out of Skips mouth that has led me to believe that is what happened. Skip has always been a rebel with a cause…even when Ted was there.

…and I am glad AOL/Time Warner is gone. Welcome Liberty Media and a little bit of payroll flexibility.

Word is, Liberty will probably try to sell the team in a couple of years.

If Huddys’ health holds up, and he has a decent team to play for, and he can play until he is 41 to 42…yes, he will make the Hall. The days of 300 game winners are over…the Big Unit might still get there…other than that????

Continuing their current pace or production…

If that’s the case, then Kevin Maas, Bob Horner & Joe Charbeneau are the greatest players of all time and by 1986 they’d have renamed the pitching prize the “Cy Young/Doc Gooden” award.

Let’s leave extrapolating to the time value of money in economics classes and let the players perform on the field, please. [checking my fantasy team & the number of Detroit Tigers that aren't doing what everyone thought they would, yet] PLEASE? :)

Sure man, if it bothers you that much. I just dont see how you can continue to watch and enjoy sports when speculation is 90% of the fun, whether or not its wondering who is going to win this Sunday afternoon, who Miami is going to take in the first round, or… who is enroute to make the Hall.

But actually, I didnt bring it up to begin with. HOF’r Don Sutton did, and it was plastered all over the AJC, MLB.COM, and ESPN.
