Piazza May’ve Been on Roids or some other PED’s…

Consider it, He played the most demanding position on the field and his knees broke down…Think about it he didn’t even play his career on Artificial turf

they think Wagner is dirt. I’m still not sure why we let Rafi and Gonzo go for Saito and Wags, but I’m on board now, as a Braves fan you gotta just get on board, It made alot more sense before the Melky/Javy deal. I don’t like running out so many different players every year, I know it’s a sign of the times but damn!

Eh, I dunno. That’s pretty weak evidence for PED use. Not saying he didn’t do it, but that’s not proof he did it…

Mark Bowmen (Around the Horn: Catchers) Still, as long as McCann continues producing the offensive numbers that have been present throughout the early years of his career, there won’t be many people nitpicking about his defense.

Check out the poll on ESPN.com:

Which young NL East starting pitcher is the best?
-Hamels
-Johnson
-Jurrjens

JJ is in 3rd with 20% of the votes

Diaz is a good egg and a fun player but I have a feeling (as I had said) if Wren moves one of the 4th OFers it will be Matt.

I think they are intrigued by Melky and given the age & defensive strength differences Wren opts for the 25yo switch hitter with a WS ring versus the 32yo good egg who can hit lefties.

Keeping Melky is a risk no doubt but his potential trade upside is higher than Diaz. Diaz needs to be on an AL team where he can play the OF and DH.

At some point they are going to let Diaz go for nothing. At 32yo Wren may decide not to wait for economics to cause him to drop Diaz not when he can get prospects today.

Wren could find a team like that and get something useful.

RC – I live just South of Miami and I follow the Marlins quite a bit. They are now, under this ownership, CHEAPSKATES.

They may have agreed to increase their payroll, but I promise you that there will be some underhanded way of doing it. Like signing Josh Johnson to a Hanley Ramirez like contract

Florida Marlins ace Josh Johnson agrees to four-year, $39M deal
Days after they were criticized for not spending more on players’ salaries, the Florida Marlins agreed to terms with ace Josh Johnson on a four-year, $39 million contract.

If McGriff finished with 500 HR’s….. He gets in 1rst ballot right?? Especially in the steroid era and he was no way a user being he looked the same in his 1rst game as he did his last. Was the definition of consistent, was a class-act and helped lead the Braves to a WS title. It’s a no brainer to me. You don’t think he should have atleast gotten %60??? I sure as hell do!

And as for Bert Bly if he had 300 wins, I know he’s 10-14 short or whatever…I’m saying if he had 300 even, he would have been in… His consistency was amazing!

Chuck-And Blyleven had the best curve I’ve ever seen. Jim Kaat should be in, too, for his fielding if nothing else. He had something like 13 Gold Gloves and won close enough to 300 games for him to be a no brainer. Maybe Tommy John, too-or at least they should pay him royalties on using his name so damned much.

I don’t think that is an automatic anymore what with guys hitting way more than 500 in recent years. I don’t think the 7 homers are making much difference. I think he will get in but I think it will take 5 or more years b4 it happens. There is a “dead” year coming up, but a pretty strong slate of players are entering the race over the next 5-6 years, and a lot of years only one or at most two guys get in. I think he will hafta wait his turn.

that’s a flimsy argument, lots of proven cheaters didn’t change their appearance. depends on how they used then. Justice and Palmeiro never changed, nor did most any pitcher who used them and there were aton of those. Way too simplistic an argument. Might be true that he never used, I kinda believe it is, but nothing proves it by appearance.

My reasoning with McGriff and the 500 was he did it without the steroids. 500 doesn’t mean AS MUCH these days because of the inflated steroid-era numbers. My reasoning, again that McGriff should have gotten atleast %60 if not in, is because he had NOTHING to do with steroids and his 493 HR’s were all off pure talent, not cheating. And speaking of Griffey with the sweetest swing ever, I put McGriff up there too…

Chuck (8:37 post) your entitled to your opinion and trust me I understand your reasoning. Just my opinion 1st ballot goes to players who were the best players of their era, regardless of their position. When I think of the top players from 93 to 05(highlight of his career) I just dont think of Piazza as one of them. Obviously a HOF and one of the 3 best catchers to play the game. Like I said I understand your all’s opinion, just isnt mine. I dont think either is right or wrong.

Why are Braves fans putting Johnson ahead of Jair? He has already had injury problems, is two years older, and had a worse season than JJ in 2008 and 2009(JJ’s only two full seasons). I understand for Phillies fans voting for their guy and Marlin fans voting for their guy, but why do Braves fans not like Jair. I really dont get why Braves fans dont realize how good he is. Is it because scouts only projected him as a number 2 at best? We all know scouts have never been wrong. What does he have to do to get some love from Braves fans.

I get what you’re sayin man. My SOLE reasoning is that when you’re looking at players for HOF voting, you compare players to guys that played the similar position. So Piazza IS one of the top 3 offensive catchers EVER so he gets in IMO. Do you think Ryne Sandberg would have gotten in if he was a 1rst Baseman?? HELLLL NO!!! The reason he got in was because he was one of the top 2nd Baseman ever, AKA, one of the very best at his POSITION of all time…. Just like Piazza clearly was for a VERY long time…

there are dozens and dozens of pitchers who used who did not change much. Taking steroids does not bulk you up unless you use them for that reason. all players even non users get bigger as they get olderand yes even b4 PEDs there were some big increases in size.. you can not know for sure by looking a lot of the time and you are kidding yourself if you think that you can. Manny bulked up some but many did not. More players used it for bounce-back effect than used it to bulk up. Believe what you want. I’m not gonna argue the point any more,
anyway a number of players have gotten 20 some% the first time and eventually gotten in.
But I bet you my Confederate dollar he does not get in in the next 2-3 years, maybe not in the next 5-6 years.

Everybody argueing McGriff should be in, here is another opinion on why he isnt. Most Hall-of-Famers have a team that he is associated with that he played with for 10 or more years. We all associate McGriff with the Braves since we are Braves fans. However, he only played 4.5 years here, which was the most for him with any team. For a player who is borderline they almost need a team to be associated with to put them over the top. McGriff does not have this. He played for 6 different teams over the course of his career. I believe this has hurt him. Its just an idea. Does everybody think I am completely off-base or may be on to something?

I don’t think Maddux, Glavine or Smoltz used PEDs, but then again how do we really know? Not every one used to get big. Some used just to recover. Maddux and Glavine never went on the DL. Smoltz came back from catastrophic arm injury after catastrophic arm injury, and was still a power pitcher in his 40s. How many other power pitchers past the age of 40 have there been in the history of the game before Nolan Ryan, who while he was in his 40s was a teammate of well known PED users such as Canseco, Palmeiro, Pudge, Juan Gone, Kevin Brown……….

And in 7 of those starts he went not just the requisite 6 innings for a quality start, but at least 7 innings. Wow. Good thing Smoltz was so Cy Young-like. (Eh heh heh, right?)

VJ, you don’t have to be old to appreciate good music. My father was into music, when I was growing up, the way DOB seems to be now. He died when I was 16 (my father, not DOB). I kind of stayed into that era of music. My musical appreciation (group-wise), if anything, went more back into time than in the future. I liked to find out the origins of the artists that I liked.

I think we both like many songs/artists from the same time period. You are probably more country, I’m more rock. Wouldn’t that make a great song? Maybe we can get Donny and Marie to sing it.

Tom O – more country? From whence comes that? I grew up a few miles from Billy Joel (5 years older than me), and he used to play at my high school – country not exactly a Long Island thing… Not into the some of the hard rock LALady is into…

It’s kind of sad, really…I like about 95% of his music and he refuses to listen to most of mine…

cabravesfan, don’t ever let a guy know that you like 95% of ANYTHING. You don’t have to be a mathematician, like Jim, to know that you’re way ahead of the odds!

Good night. :D

Reid Adair, right on. Whatever anger people had or still have at Glavine for the “strike” situation should now realize how classy this guy is. If he takes a job with the org. that “snubbed” him only a year later which had to degrade him to a degree, than I can’t imagine how any Braves fan could hold nothing but much respect for him.

I think ole Johnny would have a job by now if his agent wasn’t being a greedy prick. I know he’s made him and most of his other clients rich through the years, but he can be flat out rediculous. I wouldn’t be shocked if none of Damon,Nady or Ankiel are signed by ST, maybe right before.
