2006 Atlanta Braves Discussion

The thing is, if Hudson has another mediocre season, we'll pretty much be stuck with him for 2 more years at $13mm/per.

But then he could turn it around and make us look like fools for trading him... it's a tough call. I think I'd take Glavine over Hudson, honestly. I'm not sure it has to come down to one or the other, though, despite what's been said.

I kinda hope tom doesnt come back to tell you the truth. I stopped liking him after the 1994 strike.

I forgot about the '94 strike after Game 6 in '95.

True.

So is Hampton actually going to play next year? I've always thought of him as dead-weight. I wish the Braves could dump him and get some money back.

Yeah, he'll be about a year and a half removed from Tommy John this spring. He's already thrown some in the offseason, they're counting on him being ready - barring any setbacks.

Damn, I almost forgot all about hampton.

Counting on MIKE HAMPTON is a death sentence. We simply cannot count on him being healthy.

I'm actually pretty optimistic about Hampton. Like I said, he'll be a year and a half removed from the surgery, which is on the far-end of the recovery scale. He's a great athlete who keeps himself in terrific condition... I think he'll be fine as the #3 or 4 starter.
