Atlanta Braves Thread - Francisco Cabrera edition

400+ homeruns and arguably the best outfielder defensively to ever play.

There’s an argument to be made.

Big Andruw fan, but the argument is weak

 

[TBrown]

Larry Walker? LOL

He played the majority of his career in coors. Check his road splits and get back to me.


LOL

Obviously not bro

.268/.346/.506 isn’t hall worthy either

Sure if you are an average defensively OF, not when you are one of the five greatest defensive players of all time

I am not sure he belongs. Just saying there’s an argument for him. Glad he gets to stay on the ballet.

Man I used to love watching him play. Just watching him field a routine fly ball was awesome.

His OPS drops 200 points home/away. Plus played 150 games once.

If Andruw played in Coors he probably would have slugged .600

Honest question Scott, should Brooks Robinson or Ozzie Smith be in the HOF?

 

[vols 30]

Andruw is 11th in career WAR for CF. Considering how many CF’s are in the HOF you can easily make the case for him.

Was Andruw ever linked to steroids? It seems like his name was mentioned at one time. That might be a reason he didn't get some votes.

No, just by people wondering how the hell a 31 year old like him fell off a cliff.

I think it was more due to the fact Bobby rode him into the ground AND he was 2-3 years older than he claims.

 

[zjcvols]

Mariano and Doc should get in, but Mariano will for sure. Edgar will get in. I think Mussina makes the jump and gets in next year.

Bingo

Verc was Vizquel that good defensively

Nope

He will never come close to making the HOF, obviously it’s weak.

You’re on the internet, straight dick is what the internet does.

I also agree, as much as I hate to admit it, Andruw won’t ever make it in and it’s hard to argue that he should.

 

[NochNoch]

He was

Yep

Very true.


Yep and not making it doesn’t down play his achievements, he was very awesome. Very fun to watch.

If there’s room for Ozzie Smith, there’s room for Andruw.

No.. thinking anyone with a blog is a valued source of information is what the internet does.

If there’s room for Ozzie Smith, there’s room for Andruw.

Amen

Depends on what you mean by "that good." He was a great shortstop. But he wasn't close to Ozzie.
