    He'd probably still be 'rehabbing', and on the DL- Macha probably would have Geruted him. I'm not sure that he would have tolerated any fun in the clubhouse.

    The Orioles have tightened things up a bit- only 5.5 back, so I may be jumping the gun, but.... if they fall out of the race, I wonder if the Orioles would be amenable to moving Mark Reynolds in a deal with Hardy. In this scenario, the Brewers could offer McGehee, a couple of pitching prospects and maybe a bullpen guy that is out of the equation. Obviously, Reynolds is a strikeout machine, and he's hit under .200 for the past two years but he's young yet and just jacked 44 homers a few years ago. From glancing at his stats he doesn't seem to be a complete defensive liability at third. He's due $7.5 million next season, so maybe the O's would listen to inquiries. Though he's right handed, he'd help fill Prince's power void next year, and perhaps you could even slide him to first if Gamel doesn't make the grade.

    I would say it would probably take a semi-healthy Mark Rogers (I know, fat chance) + a pitcher in the top dozen or so of the power 50 to even start a discussion. Lots of teams need a solid SS, so I would expect Hardy to be courted quite a bit.
  4. RockCoCougars
    It seems to me that the Orioles need pitching- pretty much across the board. I would think that you would need to start with a top-tier type prospect, and add a mid tier type project with nasty stuff.

    The more that I've watched him, the more I'm convinced Kotsay is exactly the same player as Catalanotto was during his Brewers stint. You could do worse for a 5th outfielder, but you could do better as well. My primary concern with the bench is that (Wilson recent 'power surge' excepted) no one on this bench has any discernible power. That's a real issue that I don't think Kottaras or Boggs would remedy.

    Money hit .284 with 16 homers and an .891 OPS in 1982. How is that brutal?The only thing brutal in that was my memory. Just checked Money's career stats, and I had completely forgotten how well he hit in '82- I always remembered the 7 spot in the lineup as being a black hole, but I was wrong. I'm thinking that I probably transposed his '83 unto '82. Roy Howell was pretty much as I remembered him though.

    "Just was curious . . . our bench of Rob Picciolo, Ned Yost, Ed Romero, Roy Howell, Marshall Edwards, Bob Skube, Mark Brouhard, and Don Money in '82 wasn't all that impressive either." Take it back..... Brouhard was clutch. Howell and Money were both brutal though in a DH platoon (which the team was forced to go with due to another year of false Larry Hisle comeback hopes). I mentioned on another post how Josh Wilson is Picciolo to Counsell's Romero.

    Admittedly, I know very little about any of the players taken in the first round, but I take it that both of these guys have a higher 'floor' than Arnett. Just the fact that Arnett was actually considered a first round talent goes to show what a crapshoot the first round of the MLB draft is. All that I know is that the Brewers have never had success taking high school pitchers in the first, and they've taken plenty of them. The track record of college pitchers in the first has been spotty as well, but they got Sheets, Eldred and Plesac that way, so they hit on a few. It seems that generally the teams who draft well in rounds 2 on separate themselves from the pack in hindsight- that's where the good scouting comes into play.

    From reading several different accounts of his behavior, he's already a world-class tool. Let's put it this way, I wouldn't be a bit disappointed if he was mentioned with the all-time flops in about a decade.
  10. RockCoCougars
    It makes a lot of sense. A big upgrade at short who would probably come fairly cheaply- I say fairly, because the O's had to give up two decent young arms for him. That's probably the starting point. Bringing Hardy back would also be a big PR boost for the team without making a huge move. All that said, I really don't see it happening because of all the things that happened a few years ago. If I'm Hardy- though he wouldn't have any say in the matter- I wouldn't want to go back to Milwaukee after how they messed with the service time. I think the bigger hurdle would be Melvin basically acknowledging that he made a mistake. I really don't see it happening.
  11. RockCoCougars
    I read that Hall is trying to hook on with the Yankees. Chris Dickerson may be out of a MLB job again.
  12. RockCoCougars
    "Also, do you think coaches would call him lazy to the media? Never. " Probably not in this day and age, but I remember Dave Garcia (then coach) and Sal Bando (assistant GM) throwing Gorman Thomas under the bus when he was traded.
  13. RockCoCougars
    My statistical/trivia knowledge is pretty sketchy after about 1990, I'm better with the old stuff.... Rich Aurilia?
  14. RockCoCougars
    Obviously if nothing catastrophic happens, he's going to obliterate the team home run record, but it's going to take a good decade of solid baseball to get close to most of Yount's totals. He could average 200 hits and 100 runs per season for the next 10 years, and would still fall short of Yount. We aren't even considering the defense, 2 MVP's and WS appearance that Yount has. In my view, Yount is the 'best Brewer'. Molitor was a better hitter than Robin, but he had the injury issues and was nothing special in the field (when he played there).
  15. RockCoCougars
    I meant Tejada, not Bautista.
  16. RockCoCougars
    "60s-70s era player" I'm thinking Petrocelli had a big power year. I'll go with Bautista for the recent one.
  17. RockCoCougars
    Vern Stephens? I think he had the record at some point.
  18. RockCoCougars
    Yes, but I'll bet that he ends up back in Boston. Does anyone else find it ironic that he was cut once again for Bourgeois?
  19. RockCoCougars
    I'd be willing to bet that Melvin will go after a Gregg type reliever at the deadline if the team is in playoff contention. Loe hasn't exactly been lights out this year as the primary set up guy, and he's been overused, Hawkins has a history of pitching poorly in pressure situations, and I think that it's a crap shoot whether Saito even pitches again this year.
  20. RockCoCougars
    I forgot the blue on the last part:)
  21. RockCoCougars
    Was he the player to be named later in the Darrin Jackson deal?
  22. RockCoCougars
    I knew TooLive beat me here http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Sounds like a good guy, so he's got that goin' for him at least. He's hitting .300 this season too- maybe I was wrong...
  23. RockCoCougars
    Seriously, this is getting a little out of hand. I always thought that Posey was overhyped, but now I can't stand the guy because he and his 'people' are being such babies about this. Better move him to first base, less chance of an injury there.
  24. RockCoCougars
    I wonder if the ball is juiced up again in the PCL? Guys like Pena and Lawrie are putting up Ruthian numbers. Reminds me of back in the 80's with the Albuquerque Dukes and Vancouver Canadians when guys like Greg Brock and Glenn Braggs looked like future HOF, due in large part to the altitude and bandbox ballparks.
  25. RockCoCougars
    I agree that we've all done stupid stuff, but were we dumb enough to post it on the World Wide Web for everyone to see? I was working under the assumption that Lawrie posted these pictures himself.
