Chipper Jones thought's on being the batting coach for the Braves
As most of the people in Atlanta know, Chipper Jones is a legend. He was a legend that stayed with one team for his whole career, and luckily that just happen to be the Atlanta Braves, so when the braves fired their hitting coach, the manager for the Braves Fredi Gonzalez asked him if he wanted the job.
According to Carroll Rodgers Chipper responded with “I’m not ready to get back in uniform yet. It’s too soon and I don’t know if I’d be dedicated enough to the job right now. …”. Chipper does not want to take the job and not be fully commited and do what it takes to keep the Braves hitting numbers up. Chipper had a great career playing for the Braves for 19 years. Some of his states recorded by baseball-reference.com are his Batting avg. for his career was .303, had 468 total Home runs, and 2726 total hits.
I feel that he needs his time, but one day i would love if he would be the hitting coach for the Braves. Hopefully we will see Chipper back on the field, just in a different way.

I agree with you. Chipper shouldn't be rushed to come back and should take his time. The Braves should be able to notice and accept the choice from there potentially greatest player of all time
ReplyDeleteHello, I 100% agree with Xavier and you, Bryce. Chipper Jones should really cherish this time. Most people want to enjoy their retirement. It would be wrong of the Braves to rush him. He can return to baseball when he wants to. Your blogs are very neat to review and give opinions. You sir need to keep up the great work. If you do this, you will go far in life. Good job young lad.
