Foofty

how is it that noone has said Turnblow.... that man is a disaster in the waiting.... UNLESS they use him in a shouse type of role... specialist for 1 batter ( or until he walks someone, yank him IMMEDIATLY after ) he WILL be the biggest dissapointment, god I can't wait for his contract to expire.

tonights headline should say turnbow blows it late in the game or if they can overcome his crappiness and win tonights headline should be crew saves troublesome turnbow in the 9th

god I hate turnbow.... as a relief pitcher if you walk 2 batters in a row, you deserve to be yanked. horrible

He needs to go down right this instant! This was his third strike.... I would rather have a stubborn Cappelan than him. Nice too short comeback... but Aquino needs to go down and reglue in the minors.

ganna be a 4 hour game.... in 9 innings

is this the longest frickn inning ever? jeese Vargas piches sooooooooo slooooooow

^^^^^ above post ^^^^^ " Jenkins should not be an every day player but he kills righties. " Thats "If" the righty dosent throw a slider http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif but I agree with you.

" Jenkins fits this team. He's a good professional ballplayer. Hustles, knows how to run the bases, plays good defense, has some power. " Jenkins fits the team a few years ago when we had Branyon & Spivey... those three combined for a TON of k's.... this team now is young, ( young people do strike out, but that adjustment comes with experience ) incredibly talented, & full of potential. Jenks young? no... talented? ( in the field more than at the bat being he is extreemly stubborn as we seen he wont change his batting stance or listn to hitting coaches ) ..talent is there but only for 1/4 of the season and who knows when its ganna show up....Potential? nope.. were past that curve... ok, enough... ----------------------------------------- If platooned for only 1 side of the plate, is he worth 7M? IMO no. His tenure is up here, thank him and let him go on his way....

" 7 Million is really nothing to pay for 1 more year of solid production, " if you call wiffing at an inside slider at least 2 times a game production... sure... I was a fan of Jenks but now when I watch the games and there is a guy on second with two outs and Jenks is up ( and in the hole 0-2, which is the normal ) I am talkn to jenks through the TV... Its ganna be inside....does he listn... NO. He goes ahead and swings anyways.,... sorry his time is up, its time to thank him for his support for all the years, but if we are to build up he needs to be gone...

Thoughts on Sosa as a FA signing? This is just a gee wiz thing, nothing reported... He said he would accept a 500k 1 year contract, we could definatly afford it, is it worth the risk? extra corner OF ' thoughts?

Brewers discuss adding Suppan Club officials meet with pitcher's agent By TOM HAUDRICOURT thaudricourt@journalsentinel.com Posted: Dec. 21, 2006 A source familiar with the negotiations confirmed Wednesday night that Milwaukee Brewers owner Mark Attanasio and club officials met Tuesday in Los Angeles with Scott Leventhal, the representative for free agent pitcher Jeff Suppan. Brewers/MLB Jeff Suppan will likely command a salary in the range of $10 million a season. Neither Attanasio, who lives and works in Los Angeles, nor general manager Doug Melvin was available for comment Wednesday night. Tyler Barnes, the club's vice president for communications, said he could not comment on whether the meeting took place. Melvin, who originally stated his interest in Suppan last week, said on Monday he was contemplating putting an offer together for Suppan, a veteran right-hander who pitched the past three seasons for the St. Louis Cardinals. The fact that Attanasio took part in the meeting with Leventhal indicates the Brewers are serious about signing Suppan. In all likelihood, the club made its initial offer at that meeting. ESPN.com reported that Suppan has two four-year offers on the table - one from the Brewers and another from an undisclosed club. That club could be Pittsburgh, which has stated strong interest in Suppan, but the San Francisco Giants, Houston Astros, Colorado Rockies, Kansas City Royals and New York Mets also are in the picture. ESPN.com also reported that Levanthal met in Southern California with a front-office contingent from the Mets. That group included team president Jeff Wilpon and general manager Omar Minaya. The Mets' contingent originally traveled to California to meet with Scott Boras, the representative for left-hander Barry Zito, considered the top free agent pitcher on the market. The Mets are making a strong push to sign Zito but apparently have interest in Suppan as Plan B. Levanthal told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch last week he didn't think Suppan would sign until Zito strikes a deal, leaving Suppan as the top pitcher on the free agent market. Suppan, who will be 32 on Jan. 2, was 12-7 with a 4.12 ERA in 32 starts for the Cardinals last season. He allowed one run in 15 innings in two starts against the Mets in the NLCS, including the decisive Game 7, and was named most valuable player in that series. Leventhal did not return telephone messages but is believed to be seeking a deal for at least four years for Suppan. Taking into account contracts signed by free agent pitchers Gil Meche (five years, $55 million with Kansas City) and Ted Lilly (four years, $40 million with the Chicago Cubs), Suppan probably will command a yearly salary in the neighborhood of $10 million. The Brewers have an open spot in their starting rotation behind Ben Sheets, Chris Capuano, Dave Bush and Claudio Vargas. Suppan compiled a 44-26 record over the past three years and has averaged 203 innings per season since 1999. Melvin said in his early discussions with Leventhal that Suppan was receptive to coming to Milwaukee. www.jsonline.com/story/in...?id=544595 latest from Mke JS EDIT: Remember to always add a link when posting a story, thanks. -PF

"I really don't see Huff as much better than Jenkins" Besideds the whole strikeout category and that Jenks hitting #'s have slowly declined in the recent years. I still call him Jenkkkkkins...

" Vargas beat him on K/9 and BB/9 over the past two years, and had a better WHIP last year. " there is more to baseball than stats... If the opposing line up looks at who's to be the expected SP for that game and they see J.Suppan, I am 100% sure they will have a little more intimidation going into the game than if they read Vargas... hehe, I bet some of the younger players are going to say... who?

What about going after him as a FA? he can play the OF and hes a nice offensive guy to bat 3 or 5ths spot next to Fielder?
