Has Tim Hudson peaked?

Or can he get another 17 win season? If he pitches like he did at the end of the year, i think he could go for 20.

I don't know if he can get to 20, it depends on what kind of run support he gets, the Braves went through stretches where they only put up 1 or 2 runs a game for weeks at a time last year.
I do think the Braves will go as Hudson goes, he needs to be the anchor in that rotation, Jurrjens can't stay healthy and Hanson doesn't appear to be ready for the next step.

Yeah, even as a Braves fan I can say that last season was as good as it's going to be for Tim. His BABIP was lower than .250 and that is low even for a sinker baller. His career average is around .280. His FIP was also 4.09 while his ERA was at 2.83. That there shows you that that ERA pretty much has to rise, and pretty significantly
I say 15 wins, 3.30 ERA which I'd be real happy with.
I'd look for Hanson to step up and throw like an ace this year. I'd look for his K's to increase and his ERA to drop to around 3.15
JJ isn't near as bad as he was last year and isn't as good as he was in 2009..He's a good #2 pitcher and a real solid #3

I think he will have a solid season. I don't knwo if 20 wins will be there, but it isn't outside the realm of possible.
One good thing is he doesn't have to worry about facing Uggla once camp breaks. I saw Dan take Huddy deep in multiple games at the Ted last season.

Does it really matter? At best, the Braves are playing for the Wild Card. Ironically, the 2011 Braves essentially have the 1990s Braves in their division and they are called the Phillies.

If healthy, I think he can sustain last year's level of success for a few more seasons.

I predict a 18 win ceiling tops for huddy this year. Fwiw.
Posted on 2/22/11 at 11:15 am to Hullabaloo
Yeah that sounds about right
we should be able to score runs consistently which would put us right there at the top in the NL
We were as inconsistent as you could be last year and still 5th in the NL in runs scored

Yep. I hope uggla becomes that big bat we've been needing since Tex left
Posted on 2/22/11 at 11:42 am to Hullabaloo
No doubt. And I think he will be
I think Freeman will be a big part of the offense. He's gonna be in that 6 or 7 spot where he can drive in runs so I hope he plays okay.
I'm really not expecting more than .260, 16 or 17 homers this year though
If Fredi would put Heyward somewhere in the lineup where he can drive guys in, I'd love this lineup. But for now, I just like it

I'd be shocked if Freeman touched 16 or 17. I'm expecting a solid average, little power(this year), and 60-70 RBI's. I'd be happy with that.

Ive been contimplating buying a j hey autographed baseball / bat. What do you think?
Eta: as much as it pains me to say it, I hope chip calls it quits after this year.

That would be so legit. Bet even now, it's expensive as shite though eh?

I really don't mind him being on the team, especially at the end of the year when were gonna have to replace 2 positions, 3 if he goes. I just want him hitting in the 2 hole.
Posted on 2/22/11 at 11:54 am to SwampDonks
Not that expensive. About 130-150. I can afford it, and who knows he could blow up potientally and then the price can go up x3 or 4.
I'll probably buy a baseball, give it to my son one day.
It's sad, but I see chip as a walking 13 mil now. He won't ever hit 2 hole which sucks.

Nope, I thought it'd be a bit more than that. I'd jump all over it

That's one thing that I do agree with. He'll never hit 2 hole and he's not worth the 13M that he'll get this year and even next year if he stays
If he walks, fine..Use that 13M to go after a legit LF/CF
Posted on 2/22/11 at 12:00 pm to SwampDonks
Exactly. That 13 mil could've been a Carl Crawford, etc.
