Brewer Fanatic Podcast Call for Questions (7/9 Record + Draft Preview)

[Spencer Michaelis]

Hey everyone, this is another call for questions for this week's episode, recording on Thursday.

I will also be recording a draft preview with Jamie Cameron tonight (7/7). So, if you have draft questions, make sure to get those in ASAP. The draft preview will be released with the normal episode on Friday still.

Should the Brewers move one of their infield prospects to the 40 man roster? Does Hamilton’s recent injury illustrate the need for this? Seems they’re a little exposed right now if there is a more serious injury.

Do you think the issues with DSL pitching and walks this year are just a weak (or really raw) group of pitchers, or a culmination of the emphasis on swing decisions laying waste to the old “you can’t walk off the island” stereotype and thereby bringing control problems that were always there to the forefront? And if it is the latter, do you think it will be an issue going forward?

In basketball, promises may be made to a player and if the promise is not kept, the player's agent (agency) may take it personally.  This might cause issues with future negotiations. 

How much does this exist in MLB?  If it does, do you have any examples?  Would the Gary Sheffield / Dave Parker issue be similar, or was that just Sheffield being upset with what happened to Parker?
