DOB-
I realize there is no official “manager in waiting”, but I think the job is Terry Pendleton’s. It seems like he has had a few chances over the years to take other jobs, but seems to be waiting to take over for Bobby Cox. Thoughts?

I think Eddie Perez is a strong candidate for the next braves manager. I believe he and pendelton are the only two in house candidates. The best option to me seems to be Freddi Gonzolaez, he has done such a great job with florida and would be a popular move here in atlanta.

I’ll be 16 in 3 months. So I guess you could say I’m 15 and 3/4s (That was a joke

nah nolie, i’m pretty sure he’s 10.
Just like Heyward, I’m gonna take this as an insult. What chu you got against me, pal?
I don’t ever attack anyone but PL, and even then I wasn’t as bad as most, and only did it after me called me a “MORON’S”. I keep about my business, do my thing. So what is it?
jj is quite the character on here though, regardless of age.

Heath: Maybe not the seventh inning, but how ’bout if they say it before the fifth? Maybe unless it’s a five-run or more lead. Last season we had some folks saying “ballgame” — and not with irony — in the second or third inning after the Braves would fall behind by one or two runs. It was ridiculous. And again, you could tell many of them weren’t saying it to be funny. They were dead serious.

I looked up the history of 14th overall draft picks, which Heyward was, and the two best hitters ever taken in terms of OPS with that pick have been Derrek Lee and Cliff Floyd. If that is all Heyward ever ends up being, will we be satisfied? Or is anything short of Chipper and Hank rolled into one gonna be considered a bust?

Braveheart – I remember hearing a lot of people surprised that Heyward fell all the way to 14th overall – and to the hometown Braves for crying out loud. I hate when homers put too much stock in prospects (”I think Heyward will be the first to break the 100 HR in a season barrier!!”), but I can safely say that I think he’ll be much better than Cliff Floyd and probably even Derrek Lee. And Derrek Lee is a pretty good ballplayer.

Looking at Cliff Floyd – 6′4″, 230 pounds – Drafted with the 14th pick in 1991. 3 years later at the age of 20, he’s ranked the #1 prospect by Baseball America, ahead of Chipper, Manny, Arod, Jeter, and Carlos Delgado, who were all ranked in the top 16 that year. Doesn’t really do anything in the majors until he’s 25 years old. Has a strong 5 year prime, and a solid career, putting up an .840 OPS, 119 OPS+. Looks like he finally ran out of gas last season. If that’s how Heyward’s career ends up, is it good enough? Or does he have to be Chipper, Manny, Arod, Jeter, and Delgado?

Braveheart,
The hardcore fans might be disappointed if Heyward had Cliff Floyd’s career. But he was an underappreciated player whose effectiveness was damaged by injuries. Had he stayed healthy, we might have viewed his career differently (though to be sure, he was never in the class of Chipper, Manny, et al.). Injuries are always the wild card.

UGA-Brave, got a 4th generation nano last Christmas; prior to that I’d still been using a Sony Discman so don’t feel bad. Now I can’t live without it (the I-pod, not the Discman). Gotta disagree with you about tunes, though; IMO there’s no such thing as good college music. The music I liked in college was the same music I liked at any other time, and it sure as hell wasn’t REM.
Maddux going to the Cubs instead of here kills me; he’s the only one of the “big three” I have any respect for as a person (they were all great pitchers).
Glavine coming back doesn’t bother me; I’m not as angry at him as I used to be after Wren gave him a dose of his own medicine and took him down a peg. And ANYONE who could conceivably take ANY broadcast time away from Chip Carey would be a blessing. I swear I’d rather have Bobcat Goldthwait or Gilbert Gottfried in there.

Someone else might better tell you where to hear Johnny Cash and The Drive By Truckers. Don’t forget XM Home Plate, either. The only music they have is at breaks, but they DO talk some baseball 24 hours a day.
Read an interview with Chipper in Chop Talk a couple months back (not sure when exactly, but after the season ended) and his thoughts on the managerial situation is that the Braves will bring someone in from outside the organization. He gave no concrete reason for this stance, but felt this would be the case. Interesting.

Answer to a question last night…
Kentucky just hired their “coach in waiting” in Joker Phillips. I also believe Maryland designated their offensive coordinator a coach in waiting (for some reason).
Rob Dibble has a problem with trying to prove he’s “manly” with too many of his comments. Anyone ever notice that? Everything that comes out of his mouth is an attempt to show he’s a badass. Mike Golic used to be like that but has sort of toned it down.
Guys I hate to listen to….(Dibble is close to this list)….Chris Berman. Boy, can he distract from what’s going on or what? Does ANYONE find him entertaining anymore? Don Sutton…I know a lot on here love this guy but he’s like fingernails on a chalkboard for me.

It was kind of funny. My wife and I went to do errands yesterday and when we stopped to grab some fast food (rare treat these dieting days), there was a Local DJ broadcasting (Classic Rock-I could have given a history lesson on each cut they played). No one even cared. Dude was bored out of his mind and he couldn’t even give comp tickets away.

Amen on the Berman comments. I know a lot on here love their music but the “lyrical lead-ins” to EVERYTHING is so ridiculous. It’s not funny. It’s not witty. It’s plain annoying. Every time I’m watching him with other football friends he’ll stutter into one of his, “As the Eagles said, I’ve got an easy peaceful feeling” and we’ll all look at each other with “WTF” looks.

Tommy I think it is like 15 a month for the package that includes XM and all sirious channels. When they merged I had XM ad could immdiatley get that package which gave me the NFL and all the Sirious extras. My brother in law had Sirious and I am not sure and when he got the package upgrade it didn’t include Baseball. That might have changed.
of course you still have to by that radio

Berman could lose half his body weight by liposuction on his head. Agreed on Gruden, though; a considerable improvement over Kornholer.

Berman does what Berman does. He has a style that is very love it or hate it. I don’t watch the ESPN pregame simply because the one on the NFL Network is better and so is Fox’s. Now. ESPN’s is better than CBS’.
I’ll say this for the NFL Network’s pregame. Those guys are very honest and very laid back. It is very similar to Fox’s. Sapp and Faulk are very knowledgable. And, I have to admit I like Irvin now. I hated him when he was on ESPN. He came across as annoying and ignorant. But it seems now that he is very knowledgable about what he says but can still deliver it in an entertaining way. I think this is where Berman comes in . Berman didn’t make him better whereas Eisen and Spero and even Stacey Dales makes him better. But, then again I could be better too with Stacey Dales next to me. How do those guys concentrate?

I got XM because I bought a Chevy five years ago that had it standard and free for a year. I now have a unit in the house and another I pay for a friend. Costs me $36.95 a month but I only get XM that I’m aware of. Never gave a damn about Howard Stern and that was about all XM didn’t have.
Their “Boom Box” unity for the house ran about $100 several years ago. Even with the expense, it beats hell out of commercial radio (I guess unless you like talk radio on the regular stations)-especially if you have long trips in your vehicle-you no longr have to sit there constantly tuning to nebulous local stations that keep going in and out. The only thing that can block the signal is mountains and even up here in the mountains, it ain’t ll that bad. You onlymlost the signal on a couple of stretches of highway for a few seconds.
