In response to "I feel like Wren's tenure was savaged by bad luck." by David

Uggla was a bad move, he was a subpar defender.

is it true that all the time Mazzone was there, they had like 2 players get TJ surgery?

Seems like I would be looking at the medical staff for evaluating these pitchers at some point.

To be fair, the Braves of the 90's/00's weren't also drafting guys who touched 100 all the time - Will Hunting Sep 22, 09:06
Uggla was the best hitting 2B in the NL. We got him for part-time player and an erratic minor league arm. ANYBODY makes that trade. -- nm - David Sep 22, 09:04 9
- best "hitting" 2b, who can't catch it unless it is 2 feet one side or the other. - groiny Sep 22, 09:07 8
  - That's just silly. - David Sep 22, 09:13 7
    - again, defense stats are silly too. - groiny Sep 22, 09:16 6
      - I'll take them over an arbitrary opinion that isn't based in fact. -- nm - David Sep 22, 09:21 5
        
        you can forgive the bad defense if you are hitting 30 homers and have a .350 OBP at a middle infield position..... - groiny Sep 22, 09:35

        I posted the dWAR, dude. It's over. -- nm - David Sep 22, 09:40
        
        here too, and he gets honorable mention for being a tad better than Dan Murphy -- (link) - groiny Sep 22, 09:30
        
        oh, it is not even arbitrary, I have been hearing for years how bad Uggla is on defense. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 22, 09:23
