Aubrey Huff Probably Won't Be Doing Radio Again Anytime Soon

In fact, I'm guessing Aubrey Huff won't be talking to any kind of media outlet without a Orioles media guy standing at his side.

As you've probably heard by now, Huff has been roasted in the local Baltimore press for calling the city a "horses--t" town during a recent appearance on XM Sirius Radio's Bubba the Love Sponge show. He tried to explain it by saying he was merely referring to the town's nightlife compared to Tampa, but that excuse wasn't good enough for a lot of people.

As it turns, though, poking fun at B-more's non-existent nightlife was about the least shocking thing he's said. Patrick Smith of Bugs and Cranks directs us to the full transcript of the radio appearance, courtesy of the Baltimore sports talk radio station WNST (part 1 and part 2). In addition to quite possibly being drunk on the air ...

Huff: "Vodka and red bull. Vodka and cranberry. No, no. Make it vodka and red bull! Make it happen! Half and half!"
Bubba: "Looks like I'm driving Aubrey home!
Huff: "I'll get the wife to pick me up. The wife will pick me up!"

... Huff was also quite candid about his sex life, which you can read about after the jump. (Be warned, though, it's a bit explicit. I don't think it's entirely NSFW, but it's probably not the type of thing you want a co-worker reading over your shoulder, either.)
Producer: "...Who in here knows exactly how many women they've slept with?
Bubba: "Aubrey!"
Aubrey: "I couldn't even begin to tell ya. I couldn't even give ya a ballpark. I know I'm over..."
Bubba: "Five hundred?"
Aubrey: "No, no! I'd say between 2 and 300.

It's not quite Wilt Chamberlain's 20 grand, but still, I doubt that tidbit makes it's way into the Orioles media guide next year. Of course, he probably won't catch Wilt the Stilt now that he's married -- as he was all too happy to share, he simply takes care of himself these days, if you catch my drift.

Bubba: "Now Aubrey, do you jack off a lot on the road, like when you're not with your wife."
Huff: "It's all I do. It's all I do. You guys have no idea how much downtime there is in baseball. You wake up from a hangover about 1 o'clock."
Producer shouts: "In the afternoon?"
Huff: "Oh, yeah! Lemme tell you this. When you are hung over, how horny are you? I'm horny, when I'm hungover, I'm horny. So I'm just gonna beat off. And that's all I do."

So, there you go. Because I'm sure this is the type of thing you wanted to hear about. Is any of this offensive? Perhaps to some, although anyone listening to the Bubba the Love Sponge show certainly knows what to expect.

But still, the Orioles can't be too pleased that this is the image he's projecting: drunk, sex-starved millionaires with nothing to do but satisfy themselves for hours before a game. Couldn't that time be used for, I don't know, preparing for the game? Perhaps, but Huff doesn't see the value in that:

Producer: "Do you guys do any studying or is there any of that going on? Or is the catcher the only one that's really gotta study anything?
Huff: "The guys that are studying -- it's bull****. See ball, hit ball. You know what I mean? You've done it your whole life. You see the ball, you hit it. All this studying? Honestly, you're gonna look at a piece of, a TV? And say this guy, this guy is going to throw me this way? No, he might throw you a different way! Who cares? Just see it and hit it!

For a guy who's only 30 years old but has been in a steady decline for four years, that's probably not the type of thing you want to admit on the air. Maybe waking up hungover and refusing to watch video is why he hit just 15 home runs, or less than half of what he managed in his first full big-league season.

My girlfriend goes to school in Baltimore...and I was just there this weekend...and he is correct about the city.

Overall though, I cant believe how much of a moron he is.

i just can't believe the astros organization has so much devotion to adam everette, we are the only organization that would not consider looking at anyone else at this position, i just think if they have a prospect they should give him a look instead of trading (back then) for a left handed hitting morgan ensberg

Yeah, I can't believe they didn't try to trade for Miguel Tejada a couple of years ago. Poppycock.

Even if he hits worse than Everett? Something special, Zobrist ain't.

not trying to say, especially since the numbers show what type of player he is, that zobrist is/was the answer,but different clubhouse, different situation

Wow, had no idea he was such a wild man! :o He seemed kind of quite - a 'man few words' - and always looked uncomfortable in post-game interviews. He must have been pretty hammered! :D

im sick of the hate on everett. he gets less than 3 million and is the best defensive player in the game. that's half of what Omar Vizquel gets and puts up the same numbers.

that's an overstatement, he's not the best defensive shortstop in the game

Yes, he is. In fact, he's probably the best defensive player in the game at any position.

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/story?columnist=crasnick_jerry&id=2840290

Dewan, founder of Baseball Info Solutions, is on a mission to quantify defensive excellence in a way that fans, front office people and the statistically oriented can embrace. Since 2003, Dewan's staff has charted every ball hit in the majors and assigned it a percentage of difficulty based on direction, distance, speed and the route the ball took (ground ball, popup, fly ball, liner or "fliner"). The more plays a player converts above what the average defender would have made, the more points he receives. The more he fails to make, the more points are deducted.

The findings, released last year in "The Fielding Bible," are a testament to Everett's skill. From 2003 through 2005, he received an aggregate rating of plus-76, compared to a minus-64 for the Yankees' Derek Jeter. Bill James examined the disparity in a 4½-page essay in Dewan's book and concluded that Jeter can't carry Everett's jock, never mind his glove, as a defender.

Last year, Everett outdid himself with a plus-43, the highest rating in the four years the system has been in effect. In November, he won a "Fielding Bible Award," given out by a 10-member panel that included Dewan, James, Strat-O-Matic creator Hal Richman and ESPN.com's Rob Neyer. Everett received 98 of 100 possible points, edging Detroit catcher Pudge Rodriguez for the honor of best defensive player in the game.

Unless Everett lost range because of his injury, he's clearly superior to Vizquel as well.

Quoted for truth.

Hating on Everett for offense is one thing, but saying Zobrist was "the answer" and attempting to write off Everett's obvious defensive superiority is just inane.

that's not what i'm saying at all, i'm saying that the astros lend out loyalty to average or even below average players like they have the luxury of letting players stay in the lineup with no production

as for "the fielding bible" impressive but useless, they should do plus minus more like a hockey player, i admit everette is above average at short, and yes between 2003-2005 better than that, we are going into 2008 now, the astros have had a lot of problems and his stick is only one of them,

plus minus for a baseball player.... wins/losses not good enough? He's one of the best defensive shortstops CURRENTLY and would've still been that last year if Carlos Lee didn't slide into his heel. Did you see his range and how far out there he was when he got slid into? His range and his throwing arm is one of the best in baseball, period.

The Astros does have a lot of holes to fill, but their "top SS prospect..." would not have filled one of them. Their holes are mainly at SP and a closer. Another hole is in second base and potentially some depth. They need to rebuild their farm, yet compete while you have a pitcher like Oswalt heading your lineup. Pitchers like Roy Oswalt don't come very often. Add him to hometown talent Berkman and another star like Lee with good potential players..., you just can't try to rebuild through their best years unless you're talking about trading all of them for future potential. Our payroll is much higher than that of, let's say, the Milwaukee Brewers. We don't need to be totally dependent on aligning our talents for one major push and hope we don't screw up. The Astros just needs to stay competitive enough to make a few deadline trades and go after it. Though, by doing so, they probably actually need to fill some holes before the season begins. With that, it's still not Adam Everett that's our major problem, especially if Towe could prove that he could hit.

and a catcher and a second base and a third base and a right fielder (no wait they filled that one ;))

I agree that SS is not a must fill position.

haha. That is awesome. Huff is my new hero. :D
