Yeah, I could've, but I am a big believer in rewarding someone when they do something right and punishing someone when they do something wrong. Unfortunately there's too little punishing in society so I try to make up for that.

Just an incredibly douchey comment. This is a goddamn sports forum on a discussion board.

OK, let's try other words you might not have a problem with: smug, arrogant, elitist, bitchy....
For the record, the poster you were originally mocking was closer on what might actually happen to this team than you might believe. First, it is indeed a possibility that Anderson is the short term replacement for Andruw at CF. Just something to bridge the gap until Schafer or Lillibridge is ready. That was partly the motivation for completing the deal. Frank Wren himself stated that if there were no other options for a one year replacement, and if you have looked at the market for CF'ers there may not be, Anderson may very well slide into the slot on opening day. He will certainly compete for it.

Second, people are saying Chipper is selfish. You disagree. Did John Smoltz of all people not insinuate that when he called out Chipper for taking too much time off for his "injuries". I am guessing that Smoltz knows Chipper better than you do. I recall that the time when that happened last summer was right before Chipper was about to take himself out of the lineup again, while the team was reeling, and go back on the DL for some other "Chipper" injury. I also recall that the very next day of the confrontation Chipper decided that he may not have needed to go on the DL, and promptly hit a home run that game and proceeded to go on one of the biggest second half tears of his career. Again, all with an injury that may have forced him to go on the DL had Smoltz not called him out.
I personally think that Chipper is undoubtedly one of the greatest hitters of the last 20 years and a sure-fire HOFer. I also don't know if Chipper is "selfish", but is it really so far-fetched to believe that he might be?
Basically, get your facts straight before you start making "douchey" comments.
