I watch all the Braves games, and I certainly haven't gotten that impression. 
 They mention a number candidates all the time.  I've never even heard them 
call Neagle a favorite, let alone a "walk over."

He's allowed a ton of unearned runs, though, whereas Maddux has allowed only 
one.  That doesn't necessarily mean the Braves have that much of a better 
defense, but it does mean that Maddux can pitch around errors.  RA is much 
more important to a team than ERA.
