Quote: Wright Responds to Chipper

by Matthew Cerrone on November 11th, 2007 at 11:56 am

As noted earlier, Braves 3B Chipper Jones made a few choice comments in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution last week, which were directed at David Wright, who won this year’s Gold Glove at third base. 

Jones referred to Wright’s success as, “a head scratcher.”

In the New York Post, Mark Hale quotes Wright as saying among other things…

“Honestly I could care less.  I respect what Chipper does in this game.  I respect Chipper as a player.  But what he says to the papers doesn’t mean anything to me personally.  I don’t take anything he says to heart.”

i can understand chipper being snippy had we, the fans, voted…but the Gold Glove is determined by his colleagues…it’s not like wright lobbied the fans, or the team lobbied for him, etc…chipper’s colleagues picked wright…you know, maybe it’s because of dumb comments like this that chipper was ignored by the voters
