Belle Does Deserve the Hall, Surly or Not
— dugoutcentral.com — So why is Albert Belle not in the Hall of Fame? Belle held a tremendous disdain for the media, and the media is the group who votes for individual awards such as MVP, plus votes for induction into the Hall of Fame. Combined with his overall numbers and dominance, he belongs in Cooperstown. (more) Belle Does Deserve the Hall, Surly or Not

Greg Maddux: Best Postseason Starter Ever
— bravesandstuff.wordpress.com — Maddux was not only the best postseason pitcher on the Braves during the era of The Big Three but, from the 1995 NLCS until the 1999 World Series, Maddux put together the best consecutive string of 120 or more innings of any postseason pitcher in the history of the game. Maddux had a 1.85 ERA and an opponent's OPS against of .562 in the postseason during that period. (more) Greg Maddux: Best Postseason Starter Ever

The Atlanta Braves Ain't Nuthin' But Lazy Rednecks
— bravesandstuff.wordpress.com — The Atlanta Braves should be more competitive. The fans and the media in this one newspaper town don't demand enough. Braves fans need to act like real fans and boo and rant and rave. If they continue to act like lazy rednecks, they will only continue to get lazy redneck results from the team (more) The Atlanta Braves Ain't Nuthin' But Lazy Rednecks

Are Suspensions Really a Deterrent for Minor Leaguers?
— dugoutcentral.com — A great piece on Atlanta Braves hot shot prospect Jordan Schafer being an instructive example that the PED punishment for minor leaguers is not severe enough when struggling minor leaguers can accept the cost of a 50 game suspension in return for becoming a hot shot and playing hundreds of games in the majors they otherwise might not have played.

Is Jeff Francoeur the Next Roberto Clemente?
— dugoutcentral.com — it’s reasonably fair to expect Frenchy to put up OPS+ numbers similar to Clemente through the age of 31. Even if Frenchy matches Clemente in OPS+ through 31, we can’t expect him to duplicate Clemente’s OPS+ thereafter. The freakish OPS+ numbers Clemente put up after 31 cannot be expected of many human beings. (more) Is Jeff Francoeur the Next Roberto Clemente?

boogie down enigma: Is Rafael Soriano the next Armando Benitez?
— boogiedownenigma.blogspot.com — Some Mets fans keep warning, however, that Soriano has no closing experience in his career. They point out that Soriano has a grand total of 13 saves and 9 blown saves thus far in his career. Their closing shot often consists of calling Soriano the next Mel Rojas and Armando Benitez. Other than Soriano, Rojas, and Benitez being dark skinned Dominicans and the ones making the comparison being a ... (more) boogie down enigma: Is Rafael Soriano the next Armando ...

boogie down enigma: Is Jair Jurrjens the Next Fausto Carmona and Chien-Ming Wang?
— boogiedownenigma.blogspot.com — The minor league stat similarities between Jurrjens, Carmona, and Wang are self explanatory. The one stat I do not have that I wish I had in making this comparison is the groundball to flyball ratio for all three pitchers while they were minor leaguers. Obviously, that is pretty important since what makes Carmona and Wang great is the ability to keep the ball down. Wang and Carmona, ...

boogie down enigma: Yunel Escobar Fights Yutility Bull
— boogiedownenigma.blogspot.com — Yunel Escobar is much more than just the Yutility Escobar label Sheehan wants to label him with. I would not expect much of a dropoff from his 2007 campaign. But that lost 2006 season down in Mississippi can not be altogether forgotten either. (more) boogie down enigma: Yunel Escobar Fights Yutility Bull

boogie down enigma: Is Brian McCann the next Thurman Munson?
— boogiedownenigma.blogspot.com — While McCann is still young and has not yet fully grabbed the leadership of the team away from John Smoltz and Chipper Jones, his Munson-esque proud but humble nature makes his teammates want to go through walls for McCann the way Munson’s teammates would once go through a wall for Munson. This will be more and more evident as the older vets on the Braves fade away and Jeff Francoeur, Yunel ... (more) boogie down enigma: Is Brian McCann the next Thurman Munson?
