Hudson Signs Extension, I Celebrate


Hudson
Tim Hudson finally got his wish today as he signed a three year contract extension, with an option for a fourth, with the Atlanta Braves. Coming into the season, Hudson, an Atlanta native and Auburn grad, expressed his desire for an extension to his one year contract with the Braves. His foremost concern was that the deal be completed before the season began so that it wouldn't be on his mind throughout the 2005 campaign. Hudson's decision to be flexible with the Braves in working out his extension is a rare thing to see these days. Just look at last years offensive star JD Drew, also a local product. Drew came into town talking about how much he loved being able to finally play for his home team, only to walk away after one season for a few million more dollars than the Braves were willing dish out. Not that he wasn't worth the money, but Drew is softer than Josh Childress and I'm glad his oft-injured self is getting bandaged somewhere else.

It's refreshing to see an athlete who knows that the difference between 11 million and 14 million won't change his way of life. Some things are more important than money. I bet Tom Glavine and the players union crapped a brick over this one.
