Chipper Jones = HOFer ?

[rm18]

He didn't even play last year basically, he was a HOF lock 5 years ago I think

[SBR_John]

Injuries slowed him. As far as the Hall goes he's definitely in. Dale Murphy was a great player too, clutch clean up batter.

[jjgold]

1st Ballot easy


200x more clutch than Murphy

[HoulihansTX]

You were grossly wrong three years ago, also.

[19th Hole]

Not a Bravo fan by any stretch.....BUT...
If a bum like Ron "Pizza Man" Santo gets the sympathy nod to the H.O.F.,
then Chipper should be all-in.

[zoo youk]

Talk of him retiring

I say NO to him making the HOF.

lol are you INSANE? guy is first ballot with out a question. about to pass mickey mantle in all time hits as a switch hitter.

Chipper possibly the best SH of all time.

[zoo youk]

You were grossly wrong three years ago, also.

yea, he was absolutely in 3 years ago when this thread was started as well, Chipper really hasn't even made that much noise in the last 3 years with the exception to this years start.

[Pluthero]

lol u think chipper better than dale murphy

i just heard it all

you can't compare steroid era, juiced ball era, and shorter ball parks to the players of the past

your a moron, congrats

Ha! I love it when someone calls someone else a moron but they can't spell "you're"! Glass houses, buddy.

[Sam Odom]

hard to remember 3 yrs back... Sept '09

Hummmmmmmmmm

I think Chipper struck out for the 3rd out bottom 9th w/man on 2nd Braves down 4-3

I had the Braves heavy

Coming back to me now

[Chi_archie]

I think it will take a few years. only 1 really really good year, not that many all star appearances

Trollers gonna troll

So we can't use stats to show why one guy is better then let's consider that Murphy hasn't and won't ever sniff the hall of fame. Chipper is a lock. But thank god you're here to make sure that we know they've got it all wrong

I think tt is quite possibly the dumbest person on the Internet

[Chi_archie]

didn't Murphy win two MVP's?

wanna see the list of guys that one two MVP's and aren't in the Hall?

1. Roger Maris
2. Dale Murphy?

[Sam Odom]

how many gold gloves for Murph ?

[Chi_archie]

5 gold gloves

[ttwarrior1]

where did i say he wasn't a hall of famer

and ill use your, you're, your youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure if i want. I type shit out quick and don't care.
if you can't comprehend then your a moron

[Sam Odom]

When Ted T owned the Braves... Dale was the only player who could not be traded by team management

It had to get Ted T's personal Ok

where did i say he wasn't a hall of famer

and ill use your, you're, your youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure if i want. I type shit out quick and don't care.
if you can't comprehend then your a moron

So you admit one guy is a hall of famer and the other guy isn't but the guy who isn't is the better player

Classic tt ass backwards logic

Dale Murphy belongs in the "hall of very good" with guys like joe carter, Dwight Evans and Reggie smith.

first ballot

[MC PICKS]

Larry gets in on the 1st ballot, and this is coming from a phillies fan who hates the braves.

[speaker]

Nice bump.

In the 2 and 1/2 years since this thread was posted in Sept 09, Chipper has improved his career stats by: 240 more hits, 35 more HR's, 139 more RBI's, and his avg dropped from .308 to .304. He battled injuries over this time. He needs 367 more hits for 3,000, and 41 more HR's for 500.

1st ballot, IMO

[Chi_archie]

I guess If I think bout it, Jones is close to the top 5 all time switch hitters, prob 5 or 6 IMO
