Team after team has won with pitching speed and defense. 8th and 9th inning are now shut down with KRod & Axford. Gomez, Morgan and Hart all possess plus speed. middle infield seems solid and speedy as well. Very interesting possibilities as we stand today, I would say.

Said on XM Baseball station today that Hanley came out and said he plays short next year, doesn't care where. Have fun Marlins. Too funny.

According to Schroeder, Capps had 5 bone slaves. Now he has 6 bone slaves. Who twists words more brutally, BS or Gantner?

Let Khris Davis grow at his pace, not yours. I watched the Brewers promote too fast and ruin prospects ever since Lew Krause threw the 1st pitch at County Stadium. The one thing that I have enjoyed about DMS tenure here is that he allows each prospect to grow at their own pace. Kids get used to dominating and winning. The list is waaaaaaaaaay too long to talk about all of the prospects rushed thru the system because the big club was struggling

Taylor Green with 2 jacks so far. Nice to be playing at that altitude in ABQ. I know others have posted about his wrist seemingly getting healthy. Really hope that is the case.

Wow.........check out Brevard's futility tonite. 9th inning heroics by the bottom of the order.

Green did a fine job in Nashville today. Only 3 earned runs in his 1 inning of work. What a shame. It looked like he might have had some use at on time.

I looks to me that we'll be back to the days where we were debating who is the next Brewer, Khalid Balouli or Callix Crabbe? Or extolling the virtues of Steve Moss. Gawd, those were desperate times. I guess we look forward to the next 2 drafts and get fired up again. Sure hope Hoffman signs.

I do not understand those who do not like the trade. I was talking to my son after the Packer game yesterday and told him that with the meetings starting, he better be prepared for what the cost will be for starting pitching. It was going to be at least one of these - Hart, McGehee, Weeks, Lawrie, LuCroy, Rogers, Odorizzi, Lo Cain or even Braun. The price tag is expensive plain and simple. The answer is plain and simple. Pay the price or get out of the business. Those who expect to getting a QUALITY starter for a couple of mid range prospects with a bench player thrown in are delusional.

While I do remember Shaw as a Brave, and do remember the Felipe Alou trade(wasn't Del Crandall also dealt in that deal?), I remember Bob Shaw the most for ruining Bill Parsons in his only season as Del Crandall's pitching coach. I remember the big TV spot with Shaw changing Parson's delivery to get more rotation on his breaking ball. Parsons ended up being destroyed after a great debut season.

Oh heck no. Naming a hospital wing after him maybe be more appropriate.

Sure he could be a nice 5 for the Brewers next year. So could 40 other guys including Davis and Narveson. How many 5's do they need? Is he a 5 on a potential championship team? Nope. Not to say the Brewers are destined to be champs, but for me, I'd pass.

I watched the Astro's feed this weekend and they said Cain reminds them of Gary Maddox. Tall, with long strides, covering a lot of ground in the OF, and fewer strides between bags when running the bases. They replayed his double a couple of times because they enjoyed watching him chew up the dirt. Nice player to be compared to.

Any reason Wily Peralta won't be considered? Too many innings?

3 or 4? That's a good NFL draft class. Go back and look at the Brewers drafts. Many years we're lucky to get one
