Braves Worried About O-Dog's Defense?


While O-Dog's defense has slipped slightly, to think that Kelly Johnson is as good as Hudson is just INSANE and LAUGHABLE!!! If reports are true and the Braves are not interested in O-Dog, it's a tremendous relief for this Met fan.
As reported by Mark Bowman, MLB.com: There was a time the Braves were talking about signing Gold Glove second baseman Orlando Hudson with the intention of moving Kelly Johnson back to left field. But because of concerns about Hudson's recent defensive decline, those discussions died more than a month ago.
Hudson, who won three consecutive Gold Gloves from 2005-07, posted a career-worst .982 fielding percentage this past season. More alarming is the fact that the 31-year-old veteran's range factor has annually decreased over the past four seasons. The career-worst 4.61 mark he posted this past season was trumped by Johnson's mark of 4.77.
