Moe Berg – My wife was in the Enloe High School ensemble with Randy Jones, the cowboy in the Village People. He’s actually a very nice guy, and he invested his money very well, without squandering it. Of course he is not as big of a celebrity from Raleigh as Josh Hamilton (or Clay Aken, amoung others, for that matter).
My biggest claim to fame, however, is that I was on the receiving end of a middle-finger salute by Rod Stewart in 1986, but that’s another story.

.if you’re making $15 millionish (I forget the exact amount) people expect you to produce and stay healthy. jeffrey
at age 39? He already produces more than most players his age even when hurt.
They are just haters, there is no logic for haters, just excuses to hate.
Haters are all emotion and no logic. It a personality need for them.Whether it’s Chipper or Cox or some political or other sports figure, it’s really about the hater not the individual that he chooses to direct his hate at.

I trust someone will save these comments to hurl back at me if I’m mistaken. I wish to describe Daniel Uggla to his new fans.
He plays all out with great effort. When he fails in a clutch situation heappears not to care but I came to understand that blank stare on the walk back to the dugout is a defense mechanism. The man DOES care.
Dan probably has the worst range of ANY MLB 2b. Even routine throws to first on balls hit right at him can be an adventure. He has absolutely no range going back for pop ups.He will infuriate you with his turn on the double play and some of the worst turns will come in the most crucial situations.
Dan must be watched over the course of a full 162 game season to realize just how over valued he is. People with far more time on their hands than myself will be able to document his paucity of hits in “game situations” 7th inning and later. If you are one down, tied or 1 up, you don’t want Daniel Uggla of Columbia, Tennessee at the dish.
He is the epitome of streak hitter, however, he has finally started to develop some patience at the plate increasing his OBP. What you will come to question themost is how he will persistently take the hanging breaking ball or hittable fastball at the belt early in counts ONLY to chase breaking balls 6 inches off the plate with a 2 strike count.
Daniel Uggla will have you infuriated bu the end of the year and you will look back at the 31, 32, 33 or 34 HR’s and try to recall the ones that turned games as opposed to the ones popping up in 9-2 lappers. Also remember Daniel is a pull hitter and even though many of his HR’s would go out anywhere,realize that Landshark,Pro Player Dolpin Stadium or whatever they are now calling it, has a very short porch in left field. In fact more than 90 feet off the line, the distance is no more than 360 feet.Daniel will not take the ball the opposite way and his CF power will be challenged in Turner as it was South Florida.
For the kicker, Daniel is an “old” 30, ask baseball men how fast guys go with Uggla type body types.
Many people think the Braves stole Uggla, I sincerely believe that after 1 year you will see this as a nothing deal that got 10 million off the books of the penurious Marlins.

raleighbravefan “BTW, I have always wondered if you were related to Mr. (plain) Green Jeans, of Captain Kangaroo fame.”
Yep, but he was the black sheep of the family, and far from plain. He and the captain ran pirate ships up the Hudson between tapings, guns and knives bloating the pockets of his green overalls. Mr. (plain) Green Jeans wore bling like Deion away from the Kangaroo set. Sad to say, but MGJ was off-the-charts diabolical.

In 2009 Chipper had a .818 OPS that was considered one of his worst years of his career. Dan Uggla had a .813 OPS in 2009 his year was considered great!?!?

I don’t know that grand slam I keep seeing over and over against the Phillies seems pretty clutch to me. Seeing him tear apart the Braves for so many years does to. Being a great hitter at Turner may also refute some of what you said and I believe he also puts up big numbers against the Phillies as well. Seeing as the Phillies and Braves will be the only 2 teams fighting for the division again next year I think it bodes well for the Bravos. Oh yeah I’m pretty sure Phillies stadium has even a shorter porch than Marlins…that’ll work to. Nice try though.

Sigh. The clutch factor.

I’m not sure what “stealing” a player is in your mind. I can’t think of a more lopsided trade in recent years. Bedard to Seattle? That’s probably a bit strong, but I don’t believe the Braves will miss Omar Infante and Mike Dunn when Uggla is pounding 30 homers.

Arguing balls and strikes never really did much for Bobby but get him thrown out of games so not a big deal Lou. Anything else you want to rip on the Braves about? I know its hard when your team gets fleeced.

As I said the game situations with Daniel’s performances are readily available. Check for yourself. And also take a look at the fielding range. He makes Jeter look like Aparicio.

Lou,
I think I’d rather have a team like the Braves who are almost always in the playoffs and playing for the ring vs.the fish who are in the playoffs every five or six years if they’re lucky. If we’ve learned anything about the playoffs it’s that it takes a little luck to win or an umpire’s strike zone. By the way, I grew up an Indians fan, who has also won multiple titles.It’sstill more fun to have a team like the Braves.

Hey Lou! Nice to hear your comments. It’s ok to have an opinion that hasn’t drank the kool-aid. We’ll see. I remember Dale Murphy did most of his hitting when the Braves were up or down by 7, which was probably most of his at-bats. It’s just an opinion. By the way, I’m stretching my memory, but seems like I remember our managing improving considerably when Bobby got thrown out and Fredi took over.
Good point about the Marlins’ world championships. Too bad the general attitude about the Marlins is a crappy franchise and a crappy place to play. But that’s how their support is, I guess. Chicken, egg… opinion?

GM’s In baseball have to deal with bad farm systems bad rosters a dissadvantage when the players on their team comes up for free agentcy one or two teams setting the market price on basically all free agents. they also have farm systems that cause the teams future to take longer than other sports. im not sure about you guys out there but if u put yourself in any GM possition in sports would you rather be an NBA GM (not the lakers)… NFL GM (not the Patriots) & NHL any team… Or an MLB GM (not yankees or redsox)?

people expect the yankees to spend money and its their fault this is true…
1) they owe jeter nothing… he has made lots of money (see also john smoltz)
2) the yankees tried last year to do some spending cuts if you want to call it that… they do have a limit and people dont understand that… they dont want to spend much more than $200M
3) bad contracts like Jorge and others have actually made it hard for the yankees to stay @ about $200M again this year
4) jeter is looking behind the plate and to his right and thinking.. “these guys are making good money into their 40’s” they are fan favs and so am i…. infact im more so a fan fav” and he is looking to get what the team made standard procedure.
i see both sides and i know why jeter wants to try to get as much as he can. but i think for the better of baseball i think the yankees need to pay him as reasonable as possible. pay him if u want him back but keep it reasonable… if jeter gets payed too much… believe it or not it will actually handcuff the team financially. as strange as that sounds.

the fact that the team listens to the fans who are crying about wanting to keep their players says they are not running the club the way they should…
they DO NOT OWE JETER A DIME… his contract is up…. was he under paid? NO!
Was he over paid? Who am i to judge? But the fact that the yankees/Jeter contract is up… means no they do not owe him anything!
Its not the end of the world if jeter goes away… bernie williams and many others have gone away before their time was up… some people didnt like it but the game went on… hell even ruth went to boston to play with our braves… and the yankees went on… there are other ways to win!
god forbid the spoiled yankee fans feel the effects of adversity… its bad enough they overpaid for a ballpark that looks the same as the 80 pluss year old ballpark they moved from cus their autistic fans dont like new enviornments… pardon me for that classless comment but its very true

they are still making themselves look petty considering the way in which they normally conduct their business, I did not say that they would be better with Jeter.

I agree with nolie about the fact that airing out their dirty laundry will come back to bite the NYY. I think the fans would rather side with Jeter than the organization. I am not sure Jeter will get a higher value elsewhere, so he will go back to the Yankees for something slightly higher than the current offer. Or the Yankees will sign Cliff Lee and make everyone happy.
