John Schuerholtz resigns

[bGIveNs33]

interesting

Any thoughts from the ATOT braves fans?

 

[Lamont Burns]

o damn... as an anti-cards fan, i hope he doesn't go there.

 

[Fingolfin269]

WTF. The Braves are screwed now.

If he goes to the Yankess I will never watch that sport again. Imagine a mind like his with an unlimited budget. They would quite possibly win every game of every season until he retires or dies. 'Ol George is probably going (more) insane right now.

 

[bGIveNs33]

KC is the rumor right now. I think he is from there.

The Braves were a great dynasty for a while.

It was all over when Glavine & Maddux left and they made Chipper a "franchise" player.

Andruw Jones deserved that more than Chipper did.

Bobby was an awesome skipper but it's retirement time.

Andruw Jones > Chipper? Give me a break. Andruw is a great fielder but a horrible hitter. He's had one good season where his average was up there with the home run totals. This past season he was absolutely awful. Minor league awful if not for his fielding and potential.

Yep the new owners want to cut the budget. I guess its time for him to leave beofre he has to TRY and get some wins with nothing to show. I was hoping they inject some funds and get the team back but I guess the Braves will have records liek they did in teh early 80's.

<-- Braves Fan from way back in the Dale-3 days.

Hey, another Braves fan who can remember when we sucked. Well, it's coming for us again!

That would be pretty cool.

LOL, Andruw a franchise player? You must be joking.

Hate to see Schuerholtz go, but you can't really blame him since the new owners are making his job difficult.

update: he got promoted?

The article says he's going to become Team President.

 

[darkswordsman17]

Am I missing something here? The link says he's been promoted to team president.

 

[wkabel23]

I briefly saw the headline on ESPN, but according to the AJC he's being promoted. I wonder when other places will pick up on that part of the story. Good for him, i'm glad he's not leaving the team after all.

Most likely a fluff job. GM makes the calls for players and trades. Heck Hank Aaron is still a Brave but just under a fluff title that has no real day to day control. Might be same for Schuerholtz?

 

[markgm]

Wow, that sucks. There goes my 401(k).

dude, the story says "Schuerholz promoted "
your topic is misleading, he has been a great GM, but he isn't going away

I didn't say he should be in the clean up spot.

I see that too. He isn't going anywhere.

Bigger story is Lake Lanier just about bone dry.

That could mean 3 million plus people without drinking water and electricity.

10-11-2007 Lake Lanier has three months of water storage left

That's three months before there's not enough water for more than 3 million metro Atlantans to take showers, flush their toilets and cook.

Three months before there's not enough water in parts of the Chattahoochee River for power plants to make the steam necessary to generate electricity.

"We've never experienced this situation before," state Environmental Protection Division Director Carol Couch said of the record-breaking drought and fast-falling lake.

I don't know too many 'franchise players' that hit .220 and bat 7th or 8th in the line-up.

 

[murphy55d]

ESPN originally reported he was stepping down. They just changed it to promoted.

 

[murphy55d]

And for the record, Chipper > Andruw.

Andruw is terrific defensively(tho has lost a step) and can hit HRs. Thats it.

Chipper is a complete hitter... switch, high OBP, high AVG, above avg power from both sides, and at worst is an 'average' defensive player.
