Default Maddux retires

Posted By: Brian T.

You can say all you want about the overgenerous strike zone, but he is an absolute lock for the HOF. His defense prowess alone almost qualifies him and is also an often under-discussed part of his game. Obviously, it wasn't overlooked though - given the number of gold gloves he won (18 if memory serves). Full disclosure: I am not a Braves fan, nor would I collect the baseball cards of any modern day pitcher... but if I did, it would be him.
