    Exactly my point. As a matter of fact, it isnt even half as bad as PEDs. Not as bad a suspension, but probably much much worse for Josh Hamilton the human being.

    Zimbio is a solid photostream site, but I couldn't successfully search for anything by just "Milwaukee Brewers"... the site seems to focus on individual people and individual events (so there are results for "Milwaukee Brewers v. ____") Not sure when they'll begin to have ST pics up, though.

    Yeah, I think this move pretty clearly indicates that your speculation is true. The K-Rod deal will likely end up being a net negative, but it seems that in ownership's &/or the FO's minds, they needed a Proven Closer™.

    I love to hear that!

    Which is about where Coulter should probably be expected to be as well

    I always love to see this type of statistical progression, too. Nelson moved up the chain in a similar manner. What it says, to me, is that the player is capable of persevering through struggles by adapting his approach. Love that.

    Yeah, I don't want anything to do with a 'shot clock' or anything for batters or pitchers. If re-adjusting his batting gloves puts Braun's mind/body at ease in the batter's box, so be it. Same goes for anyone else, honestly. I know I always used to fidget & pull up the sleeve on my back arm as I was getting set in the box. The sleeve wouldn't prevent me from hitting the ball (my lack of talent took care of that), but it was something that just made me feel comfortable once I got the sleeve positioned in a way that felt like it wasn't impeding my swing.

    I think most posters here remember that. The Brewers recently announced that they're seriously considering stretching Tyler out to be a SP or long RP option.

    That's a dang good offense

    Baseball manager defends veteran player with declining abilities & durability by calling him 'proven' Water is wet More at 10:00

    Boras. It's always Boras

    And I'm sure a young Cuban kid with huge dreams has just been dying to make that one franchise that he devotes his career to be located in Milwaukee, WI. Surely that's what every young Caribbean kid dreams about when he's flipping that baseball up in the air & imagining hitting the WS-winning home run. Don't get me wrong, I won't count us out until Moncada has officially signed with a team. But I don't think we've got any kind of serious chance to sign him.

    This describes it perfectly. I went to the T-Rats' SW night last season, & it was a lot of fun. They did a lot with movie clips on the videoboard, & each player had a SW 'alter ego' name & player pic for the videoboard. The costumed characters were even walking around the parking lot pre-game & posing for pics with tailgaters. Fun stuff. The best moment was when the visiting team hit a HR -- the videoboard very quickly played the clip of Luke screaming, "Noooo!" (when he learns Vader is his father). Many actual lols were had in the stadium on that one. This would be... amazing

    What a great thread! Good idea, EBaN

    From Cot's --
  16. TooLiveBrew
    Wasn't this announced very early in the offseason?
  17. TooLiveBrew
    Yeah, I'd assume DHing v lefties, & giving Cano days off v LHPs
  18. TooLiveBrew
    I'll have to ask my Physical Therapist wife about that. She's my go to for sports injury information. BHS is correct, based on everything I've ever read about "strain"
  19. TooLiveBrew
    No way should Philly have to throw in Brown -- Pap alone should net all those prospects
  20. TooLiveBrew
    ^^ Very much agree with this. I went on a mini-rant elsewhere about Sherman, so I won't repeat myself at length.
  21. TooLiveBrew
    Absolutely -- great point. Additionally, if anyone is of the belief that Broxton's not our best RP, you also aren't then burning your best reliever in the Closer™ role. I'm personally not sure whether or not I think Broxton's our best reliever.

    There's an acronym I've heard used about baseball, TINSTAAPP (There Is No Such Thing As A Pitching Prospect), & I think it applies with nicely when just one of the two Ps is removed. Imo there just isn't such a thing as a Prospect -- it's a term we've invented over the years. Instead, I think it's much safer to think of these young guys all as just baseball players. I think that removes the seemingly instant response when talking about young players -- 'Yeah, well prospects never pan out.' The reality is that, in terms of making it to & making an impact in MLB happens for the tiniest sliver of aspiring pro ballplayers. Not just 'Top Prospects' flame out, pretty much every player does. Fondybrewfan alludes to the fact that key players seem to come from lower rounds just as often as they do the top round or two. These are all 'just' ballplayers. I enjoy prospect rankings, but I try to simply enjoy watching &/or following these young men as they play baseball. I get that there will always be players who are more skilled, project better, etc. But the Jon Lucroys of the world are informative to keep in mind. Maybe he wasn't a 38th rounder, but he was only ever graded out as a guy who might wind up being average. The reality of prospects developing is, imo, very close conceptually to the statement, "They don't play games on paper," or, "That's why you play the games."

    Lets see him throw first. He had what's commonly referred to as a "routine cleaning out" of his shoulder, not the dreaded torn rotator cuff surgery. It was reported last month that he's thrown off a mound with no pain. Lets see if he can let loose at some point in Arizona. Oh, absolutely. As I said in my post, I'm not counting on him to be anything yet -- good, bad, or otherwise. Lots of pitchers have 'minor procedures' & are fine, & lots have 'minor procedures' that wind up being the first of a long line of problems. As it stands, imo the Brewers aren't necessarily relying on Henderson, which is a good thing.
  24. TooLiveBrew
    I just don't think we should realistically expect anything from Henderson after his injury. I don't mean that I think he's going to be junk, but I don't want to place any eggs in the basket of him being a good high-leverage option.

    A hat tip to Dean Smith
