Beat me by "that much"

 

Assuming Bandy goes down to try to get his offense back on track.

[pogokat]

uhh? I half expected Krod, but vogt? I don't get it

[homer]

Odd move. Wonder what's up?

[trwi7]

Why?

[MrTPlush]

Jett Bandy is hitting .048 in the last month. Does it really need to be explained. 2 hits in a month and his defense isn't something special. I understand he is the backup, but that is just putrid.

And replace him with a guy that's been just as bad?

.227 in his last month. Almost 5x better actually. He also is a bit more versatile and he is another lefty bat to add to the mix on the bench. The move makes quite a bit of sense. Helps he I see a pretty good veteran pretense too.

 

This is a pretty minor change. Not saying Vogt is going to be much of an improvement, but Bandy has been a lost cause for over a month. I won't lose sleep either way. Both have a pretty minor impact. I like the idea of his versatility and the fact he is a lefty. Seems a bit more useful.

it's gonna cost almost 2 million to do this. They must've liked Vogt for awhile.

Or really sick of Jett Bandy. Now that Pina has clearly won the starting job they probably prefer a more versatile player that bats on the opposite side of the plate than Pina.

Like this and hope Vogt gets his act together. Bandy may stick over Brinson.

I doubt it...that would only save him a few days regardless.

Chump change for a team with the lowest payroll that's getting a bump in ticket sales.

[BuckyBrewer61]

Not sure what's not to like about this - assuming Pina still gets most starts, we just picked up a backup catcher who was an all-star the past two seasons. His numbers aren't world beating over that time, but if he returns to form he'll be the best backup catcher in baseball and a left-handed bat off the bench. And all without trading a single prospect.

One month does not a season make.

 

Yeah, not a major impact either way. Maybe Vogt catches lightning in a bottle. he was pretty good two years ago.

There has been no increase in attendance. It looks like it will be quite similar. I imagine it could end up a bit higher than last if we are playing in a playoff spot come Aug/Sept, but too soon to say attendance will increase.

[MrTPlush]

When you are a bench bat and only manage 2 hits in an entire month...bye. You can't afford to have such slumps. Successful bench players avoid such slumps. Bandy did not and now he deserves to go.

[pacopete4]

This is a good signing. Bandy needs some at bats at AAA and Vogt, ya just never know. Might even make Franklin a goner because he adds that left bat.

[liveforoctober]

You would have to think Matt Arnold had a lot to do with this decision. He drafted him in TB and probably has a pretty good idea if Vogt will be a good club house guy, positive influence on the pitchers, etc. Would assume that Sogard might have been briefed as well to get a first hand take.

 

Shrug move for me with slight upside. I like an additional left handed bat off the bench if nothing else.

[NYChez]

Nice follow-up to Tom H's article Saturday about the Brewer clubhouse.

[JohnBriggs12]

Vogt is a two time All Star. This is a clear upgrade. He's very similar to Montero.

[patrickgpe]

I think bandy goes down them Franklin can be dfa'd and Brinson sent down once villar and Braun returns

[homer]

Vogt can also play 1B and OF. That may mean more than any marginal improvement he offers on offense.

There are currently 3 catchers on AAA roster, Who goes Garcia, Susac or Heineman?
