TheLetter2's Top Ten Braves Studs

PrintIt started with a man and a dream. But enough about how Robert Goddard invented the first liquid-fueled rocket. This is a post about the fine, upstanding men of the 2011 Atlanta Braves. And how they look in their uniforms. I promise, there will be some small measure of analysis -- and statistics!
So sit back and make yourself comfortable. Live, laugh and learn.
10. ERIC HINSKE (IF/OF - .349/.373/.587)
Born August 15, 1977, in Menasha, Wisconsin. He's here because I needed to pad this list out to ten. Seems like a nice enough guy, a real team player. He's got a nice smile, I'll give him that. But mostly, I needed ten guys, and he sorta looks okay.
He gets bonus points for: This delightful sequence from the NLDS.
But I like that there were no hard feelings. He even came out to SF to help celebrate during the NLCS.

9. BRANDON BEACHY (SP - 44.1 IP/3.45 ERA)
The people have spoken. Brandon Beachy kicks Joe Mather off the list, and slides Hinske down a spot to number ten. His 9.3 strikeouts per nine innings puts him fourth in the National League, but I'm rather disappointed his SLG is so low. I should never have drafted him as a middle infielder for my fantasy baseball team. Beachy enjoys broad appeal across the demographics of Braves Country, and I confess he wasn't really on my radar until a massive (five of you) grassroots campaign to include him in the list. I have to say it's a good choice.
He gets bonus points for:That stare. He's clearly looking into the future. And he sees himself.
8. TOMMY HANSON (SP - 53.2 IP/2.35 ERA)
He's a tall drink of water from the plains of northeastern Oklahoma. Historically, it's a zinc-mining region, but Tommy Hanson mines strikeouts. He leads the Braves in strikeouts this year -- ten of them on Monday, May 16, alone. It's been fun to watch him emerge from a rookie just two seasons ago, to a dependable member of the starting rotation. And hey -- he's already had two hits this year.
He gets bonus points for: Being a redhead. You can't tell me you don't love it.
7. BROOKS CONRAD (IF/EMERGENCY CATCHER - .105/.292/.105)
The Raw Dog himself. Some people question my fondness for Mr. Conrad. And I will concede he possesses not the most magnificent face on Earth. But it's what underneath that counts. No, not his drive or dedication to the team. I mean inside his jersey. He has abs that must have been sculpted from pure Italian alabaster, and thighs I'm quite sure could crush many smaller makes of European cars. All that, and he hits grand slams.
Coincidentally, this photo was taken milliseconds before he committed an error.
He gets bonus points for: Handling his difficulties during the NLDS with a quiet grace. I like Brooks, and I was really sorry to see him fumble so badly on the field. Many Giants fans I know felt the same way, and I think many respected him for his perseverance and resilience under what must have been tremendous stress. That's it. No punchline, no snide remark. I admire the man. He's got cajones.
6. DAVID ROSS (C - .313/.371/.625)
Look at this guy. Look at him! You can't help but like him. He's a good teammate. A natural leader. A devoted father and husband. YOUR CANDIDATE FOR CITY COUNCIL!
Sorry. Wrong speech. David Ross is the kind of guy I would have a beer with. And I don't drink. That's how cool he is. It helps that he's good at his job, serving ably beside Brian McCann.He played for teams before his arrival in Atlanta, but his comfort level and camaraderie would make you think he was a lifelong Brave. Maybe Turner Field will be his last stop in baseball.
He gets bonus points for: Being the resident jokester in the dugout. I love to see the boys having fun at work. Ross chats and sings during games, and probably does a little softshoe when the cameras aren't on.
5. A PICTURE OF BUSTER POSEY
Kidding. The actual fifth spot belongs to...
5. CRAIG KIMBREL (CL - 9.1 IP/2.89 ERA/5 SV)
Craig Kimbrel. Craiggers. BlitzCraig. The Guy Who Isn't Wagner. The strapping young gentleman from the rich farmlands of north Alabama goes by many names, all of them synonyms for "a hottie who can strike out four batters at once." The road hasn't been without its bumps, but that's understandable. No one can step into the shoes of one of the league's most well-respected closers in his first full year and get a 100 percent success rate. He's doing the best he can. And you know what? He earned his postgame ice cream.
He gets bonus points for: 
Ohhhh, yes.
4. TIM HUDSON (SP - 62.1 IP/3.03 ERA)
Oh, boy. We start getting into some serious territory here. Tim is a dashingly handsome man. Not many guys look dignified with a shaved head, but Hudson wears it very, very well. When he's on the mound, settle in for a good show. Off the field, he and his wife are active in the philanthropic community. His Hudson Family Foundation supports efforts from literacy to scholarships to youth baseball programs. There is literally no way to denigrate this guy. He's untouchable. A big-hearted man goes a long way in my book.
He gets bonus points for: The soul patch. Oh, baby. The soul patch.
3. MARTIN "THE VENEZUELAN SENSATION" PRADO (OF - .296/.338/.450)
Infielder or outfielder? Tell him where and when, and he'll be there. He'd play the Turner Field organ if that's what Fredi asked him to do. He understands the value of teamwork, and wants to make sure he's doing everything he can to contribute to the Braves' success. His bling shines almost as brightly as his bat. I'm not sure exactly what that means, but he hits singles. Good enough.
He gets bonus points for: Being bilingual. I remember a game last year in which Prado stood between Jerome Jurrenovich and Alex Gonzalez, translating for both men. I like a guy who has a way with words.
2. DAN UGGLA (IF - .196/.270/.375)
I can't stop giggling. He's so cute! Dan has some great physical attributes, from his legendary forearms to those big, blue eyes to a butt that could stop a 30-mm mortar shell instantly. I like beefy guys. Dan is beefy. Using the transitive property, we can then infer that I like Dan Uggla. This postulate is true.
He gets bonus points for: Being more gentle than his outer nature might otherwise indicate. The record shows he forms strong bonds with his teammates, not afraid to show a little affection from time to time. The man is a hugger. If we had more like him, there'd be no more war. Except, you know, hug wars. But those would be more fun anyway.
1. BRIAN McCANN (C - .293/.359/.414)
What can I say about this teddy bear that I haven't already? He's been my favorite Brave since I started watching the team. He is a gentle and good-natured man. He deserves to be more highly touted among catchers in the major leagues. He's a fantastic asset for the team, and a great person to boot. And though I have no proof for this, I strongly believe he's traveled to the Moon on a spacecraft powered entirely by home runs. Brian Michael McCann, everyone.
He gets bonus points for: The picture above. I'm being completely serious. It's mind-numbingly gorgeous.
All right, so let's get some chatter going. Who did I miss? Who would you have put on your list? How is it possible I'm this funny, creative and handsome, and yet still single? The phone lines are open. Let's do this!

Hmmp.
Disagree. 3 and 2 ought to be 2 and 1.
CAU: Pronounced 'Cow'. Cuteness Above Uggla, analytical measurement that gives a factor of a player's cuteness above Dan Uggla. For example,
Nobody has a positive CAU.
Martin Prado leads the league with a -0.0 CAU.
I can see your justification for this. I may consider this for inclusion in the hardcover edition.

Still, I have to say, Mather shouldn’t be left off over Hinske. Big Joe is much more of a stud. Tall drink of rugged water.

Kimbrel? please, he has 4 blown saves already, thats pace for almost 16 blown saves in a season…AWFUL!!!
You want another stud, O’Flaherty or Venters…
What kind of team has “3 of their top studs” as bench players lol, sadly enough I agree they should be on here, maybe Brooksie should be just outside of the top ten (like 11th).

I disapprove of this list.
How can you have a top 10 Braves’ studs and not have any of the wall studs that do such an excellent job of holding up the walls of the Braves clubhouse. It also makes no mention of the stud earrings worn on occasion by some of the flashier players.
Kimbrel? Please. He neither forms an integral part of an internal wall assembly nor accessorizes the ultimate ensemble that is a Braves uni.
You want another stud? The studs on the bottom of the Braves’ cleats or the ornamental buttons they wear in their shirts when they go out for a night on the town….
What kind of a list doesn’t include the stud horses from Bobby Cox’s farm, or the variety of poker often played on the Braves’ team charter?
If Studs Terkel were still alive, he would have some very interesting stories to tell about all of these wonderful studs.

Good choices and although I have a little spot in my heart for Pittsburgh Nate’s surfer boy haircut, I can’t disagree with “also a hugger” Hinske filling out the top 10. Although I would love a beard trim from Tommy. Close is comfy!
His alter ego, sadly, did not make the top ten. He was ranked 23rd, behind McLouth.

Yeah, Dumb and Dumber is one of the few films I’m not up on. You should wear that like a badge of honor, it’s fairly difficult to slide a movie reference by me (just ask my classmates- two weeks ago I had to tell an entire class that yes, there was a fourth Ghostbuster, and no I wasn’t kidding when I said his name is Winston Zeddemore).
I’d be there, if only to convince you to undo that zero tolerance policy. I have to be careful how I phrase this, because I’m not advocating bigotry and hate speech, but the point I was making when I tried to point out how little you’d be able to talk about was that someone taking offense should not mean we can no longer discuss that topic. We live in a highly offense-happy society where everybody is offended by something, and some people are offended by damn near everything. The problem with political correctness, though, is that it quashes debate and leaves us the worse for wear. People need to grow a slightly thicker skin and realize that there are things out there they might not be big fans of, but that that doesn’t mean the topic is worthless and should be shutdown. In fact, the best way to deal with such things is not censor and run from them, but to allow ourselves the room to have honest discussions about them. Why are they offensive? Are there actions we can take that would make them less so? Are people simply overreacting to something that is worth fighting for?
(Side note: on a blog like this restrictions will always apply, like the “no politics/religion” thing, and I’m not arguing for changing that because this isn’t time or place for those topics anyway. I’m painting in broader strokes here.)

J-Freak for TC Vice President... I'm officially making you my running mate.
Your point is well articulated and I’d never censor anyone. I do like talking quite a bit (tongue in cheeck) but one of the reasons (I’m dropping the military thing again… brace yourself) that I’m in the Air Force is because I firmly believe in our rights and I’m willing to do my part in protecting them and making sure that at the end of the day, all the stupid crap we have to listen to on the news and all the opinions that are warranted or unwarranted are allowed because we are a free society and without getting too deep into it… I tolerate rules… I might skirt them occasionally but I understand them because the freedoms we share can easily be taken advantage of and undue harm can come of a minorities ability to over flex what they feel they are entitled to… I love being in England and having been to Korea, Japan, China, Singapore, Afghanistan, Qatar and the other countries I’ve been blessed to see… In Afghanistan, I saw what oppression can do to a people. In Singapore, I saw how great a concept of democracy and religious acceptance can mesh… None of any of what I’ve seen can compare to what we have in the states…
You’re making me run off on a tangent that might get me /banned by the mods… Lord knows, I don’t wanna anger them before the coup. I might need them after the revolution… :-)

I'm pretty sure any kind of festival is going to have security.

www.duwanis.com
Seriously, yes. People do damage to the school grounds where the festival is held. Also, it’s a dry event, so no alcohol or tobacco allowed on the grounds, so part of the work is scanning the tent areas for anything like that. The majority of the reason for security, however, is for the crowd control during concerts. Last year was very tame, yet the last night’s show required over a dozen people to be brought over to the EMT tent. And that’s just the main stage. The HM (heavy metal) stage is much more intense for crowd control.

I’m actually disappointed in it. I meant nothing political here. I meant nothing ideological. I’m not trying to get anyone in the world to agree with me. It’s just, “Hey, here are some pictures of the Braves. And now, some funny paragraphs about said Braves.”
And now it’s morphed into the same contentious discussions that came in the wake of the McDowell incident. It’s becoming increasingly clear that I’m under a certain kind of scrutiny that for some people will forever color their view of every word I type, no matter its intent.
I wish it hadn’t happened like this.

But that's just their opinion, man.
I can’t believe you’d hate them for their opinion that anyone who does anything they think is wrong deserves to be vilified. You just can’t stand their perfection, and you’re letting it get to you.

Well this sure has been an intresting thread
When I first read the post I thought it was about Braves “studs” as in good players, boy I was completly wrong. Reading some of these comments in disgusting how it’s the 21st century and people can’t except homesexuality blows my mind. I had no idea TL2 was a homesexual until reading the comments and even if he is it changes nothing in my mind, I actually might find it better and find some of the things he posts in the Game Threads funnier now that I get it. Also this post was absoulty hilarious, and TL2 homosexuality makes this post what it is. Great post! Go Braves! Posey was absolutly Out!

'There are two pains in life. There is the pain of discipline and the pain of disappointment. If you can handle the pain of discipline, then you'll never have to deal with the pain of disappointment,'- Nick Saban
I like the post. It definitely got more girlfriend a bit more interested in the Braves. Which is never a bad thing. Kimbrel is now her favorite player and she wants his jersey to wear or just to take it off of him, it doesn’t really matter to her at this point.
Now my question.. we have a post about the studs of the Braves. What about some pics of the wives and girlfriends of the Braves?
I fixed this thread because I think the discussion that was going on here while healthy in some aspects doesn’t belong on the blog. Thanks to TheLetter2 for making what I think is an excellent post that is good for some time-out fun and apologies that we as mods didn’t monitor it better.
I would ask the community going forward not to use TalkingChop as a forum for a discussion on sexual orientation regarding individuals or communities as a whole. This is a baseball site that we all (well most of us anyways) love and I’d like to keep it to baseball with the occasional timeout to talk about our interests outside of baseball.
I know we catch flak for overmodding everyone at times and thats fine, I’d rather overmod than undermod and considering this blog went from less than 500,000 hits to over 8,000,000 hits in about 2 1/2 years we feel it is in the best interest of TC to try to keep the best content on the top and articles of a non baseball nature to a minimum. You may not always agree with us, and if you don’t sorry, we all have our email addresses posted at the bottom of EVERY PAGE. Feel free to contact us and express your concerns.
