Huddy. Good pitcher. Topnotch competitor. Bit of a jagoff. YMMV

@278

One wouldn’t have to “jimmy up” any stats. The most important stat in baseball tells the story: .338 OBP.

Whatever y’all do, don’t embarass yourselves. That would be embarassing. What an embarassment.

flair, DOB talked about that today. Apparently Huddy was pissed that DOB and Bowman were speculating on the players to be released, such as Blanco and Lerew

He’s now saying we could have a Glavine press conference tomorrow. Maybe Glavine will say he’s going to Washington.

@203 (been busy): I’ll admit you can’t judge a player entirely on his first 70 games, but Jeff’s 2007 line (.293/.338/.444) also works to show he can hit… and I watched most of those games, he hit all sorts of pitches. He may not be the best batsmen ever to play the game, but when he’s locked in he certainly has the capability to hit in the major leagues.

@204: Check your facts before you embarass yourself. Gant (who played the majority of his career in the 90s) was a 3B, not a middle infielder, for most of the year I quoted, but he did play 14 games in the outfield. Murphy hadn’t caught for two years during the year I mentioned. Moreover, I wasn’t comparing Francoeur’s stats to theirs, I was comparing the relative trajectory of their early careers. Players have down years, it happens.

@234: Gosh, I’m really not trying to pick on you Sam, but 2007 was a successful season for Jeff. You can jimmy up some stats to portray it as average, but in the end Jeff produced 170 runs in 162 games plus provided us with 162 games of gold glove defense in RF. Certainly room for improvement, but success all the same.

I read this today on yahoo sports.
But there was clearly some bitterness over the turn of events, some of it directed at media outlets that reported Griffey had decided to play for Atlanta. Pitcher Tim Hudson got into a heated argument in the clubhouse with a newspaper reporter, claiming his story angered Griffey and led him to back out of dealings with the Braves. A team official had to step in and lead Hudson to a back room. This is DOB and boy he is butt hurt today.
