    Will he still be able to practice catching for our pitchers? Just don't swing a bat or throw the ball back.

    Speedy recovery Jon! Stinks, he's a good kid and was really exciting me as a fan hearing him in some interviews. The kid seems like he's got a good head on his shoulders.
  3. brewtank34
    Ok, so I think I may have stumbled on a good line-up. 1. Weeks 2. Lucroy 3. Braun 4. Fielder 5. McGehee 6. Hart 7. Betancourt 8. Gomez 9. Pitcher Lucroy is set for a major breakthrough year. The kid has the talent and the head on his shoulders to make it happen. From what I've heard and read from his interviews, he feels that his offensive output last year was FAR under his ability. Plus, I like the bottom of our line-up much better with Hart, YB and Gomez, Pitcher...rather than YB, Lucroy, Gomez, Pitcher.

    The photo gallery for JSonline has some sweet pics. They confirm TH's story of Braunny coming to camp ripped after working out all offseason with Gabe Kapler. This is going to be one crazy summer!
  5. brewtank34
    My vote is Braun. I think he see's players like Tulo getting their contracts up'd and Braun mashes this year trying to get paid what he should be getting paid.

    Offensive Breakout: a combination of Lucroy and Gomez. Gomez is (I hope) going to heed the advise of Sveum and gets rid of his power swing to become more of a OBP guy. Lucroy is going to be able to focus more on his hitting once he gets used to Greinke and Marcum. This shouldn't take too long in Spring Training due to both P's being as good as they are. Rookie jitters are gone and Lucroy is going to suprise a lot of people at the bottom of our line-up. Defensive Breakout: Casey McGehee I've read that he's been able to really work out this offseason and has trimmed a lot of weight, and is in excellent shape. This is going to allow him to snag more balls over at Third. Offensive Dissapointment: Betancourt I agree with the rest that there's a large possibilty that Hart and McGehee may not meet the stats they put up last year, but they'll still be solid enough not to be considered a dissapointment. For this reason, I've chosen Betancourt. His RBI's will be high again due to the type of line-up he has in front of him, but his OBP will low again and he'll have a lot of "Oh great, it's Betancourt" moments. I hope he proves us all wrong! Defensive Dissapointment: Can I use Betancourt again? I really see improvements from Braun, McGehee, Prince and Weeks in the field. Lucroy and Hart are not stellar, but they're consistent and solid. Gomez is Gomez. That leaves Betancourt. Once again, I hope he proves us wrong, but from what I've seen and read, he could be liability.

    I just bought my Marcum jersey yesterday!

    Happy Day! Congrats to both sides for getting the deal done. This is going to go a long way.

    Narveson doesn't take a backseat to Gallardo as a hitter either though without the power. I still like Gomez hitting 2nd and Hart 6th. Gomez would see a lot more pitches to hit there (he hit a respectable .272 in that slot last year) and they need to do everything they can to get production from him. Hart showed last year he could produce hitting 6th where he posted a 1.091 OPS last year. I think hitting 2nd Gomez can post something like .265/.315/.385 and in Roenicke's run offense, steal 35-40 bases and score 80 runs. Batting 7th or 8th ahead of either Lucroy or the pitcher, he'll likely hit only .240/.290/.375. Another thing Roenicke may try is hitting Hart 5th and McGehee 6th. Betancourt should hit 7th, because whoever hits there behind Fielder, McGehee, and Hart is going to have a lot of RBI chances. Betancourt has shown he can drive in runs. We have a winner! I'm almost positive that this will be the case come opening day, however what are the chances that we see Carlos given a shot at the leadoff position? Highly unlikely with the success that Weeks has had in that position, however imagine the production that Weeks could have in front of Braun. If Sveum can get Gomez to become a slap hitter instead of that power swing of his, Gomez could be the ideal lead off man for us this year. I'm really hoping Sveum has spoken numerous times with CG this offseason and has been instilling a different frame of mind for him.

    MLBTR is reporting that Young has a list of 8 teams that he's willing to drop his no trade option for. Brewers are not on that list. The Cardinals and Astros are however. Not worried about the Stros but if he signs with the Cards, that could hurt a lot.
  11. brewtank34
    I love this idea actually. I would be a very happy Brewer fan if this occured.
  12. brewtank34
    Thanks Pitch.
  13. brewtank34
    I like your analysis WTP. I agree that they Marcum, Weeks and Greinke could all be wearing Crew uni's for a long time. It's going to come down to whether Weeks wants to taste the Free Agency market. Once we lose Fielder, we're going to need Weeks' numbers and power in the line-up. I'm hoping the upper brass can get it done.

    Question, For buying tickets at Maryvale, any suggestions on either 3B side or 1B side? What's the best shaded area? Thanks!
  15. brewtank34
    Lithium, I'm not sure it would be wise to put protect McGehee with Gallardo. The highest in the order you'll see Gallardo will be 8th, IMO

    I remember reading somewhere about a year ago (sorry guys, I don't have the link/source), that Pujols was worth close to $50 million a year for what he means to the Cardinals organization (the article refers to the amount of revenue Pujols brings in by himself). If someone knows the story I'm referring to and can produce the story, please do so. My point is that while 5/200 sounds like a lot of money to many of us, in baseball numbers, it actually may result in less money than he is actually worth. If I were the Cardinals I would do the 5/200 (with the buyout) and start planning now to groom your next 1B. For a player like Pujols, I wouldn't think twice about it. There's no way I would do the 10 year deal.

    Every year on Opening Day, I feel this jacked. It's a fresh year and we're all in first place. The feeling that this could be a good season all is pretty big to me. Placing that importance on the first game of the year I understand is foolish, but it still gets me almost as jacked up as I am right now with the Pack! Go PACK!

    With the amount of money the blue jays saved on this deal I wonder how likely the brewers would've been able to get shaun marcum??? My guess is not so likely. Once again 3 cheers to Doug Melvin and forgetting that deal done
  19. brewtank34
    I'm not so sure the BP isn't a need for us right now. In all do respects to Gamel, he really hasn't shown that much in his opportunities in the bigs. I've been paying attention to him throughout his career and I understand his upside, but he has yet to show the ability to get on the field consistently. A good quality arm in the BP matched up with our Starting rotation can go a far way. I'm looking at Cincy and what they have with Chapman and the Cubs when Marmol was that guy. Unhittable! I like Saito, but I would still like to see someone younger and more reliable than Hawkins. As I'm typing, I've changed my mind and realized that we'll need Gamel after Prince leaves. I still think we should tap into the A's BP however...what trade chips do we have to obtain one?
  20. brewtank34
    With the A's signing Fuentes and Balfour, they now seem to have an overload of BP arms. Could you see Melvin pulling a trade with BB to snag one of them for one of our bats? I was reading they could use a better bat at 3B. There's no way we get rid of McGehee, so what are your thoughts of the possibility of Melvin trading Gamel during Spring Training if he shows signs of getting a hot bat? Joey Devine looks pretty stellar so I doubt we'd Melvin would be able to get him, but what about Blevins or Breslow? They're both lefties. Not sure if we need another lefty in our BP, but both of these guys seem pretty reliable.

    That Lucroy interview pumped me up! What a great interview. I could just invision him on Rome and after the interview, Rome would go something like this... Rack 'em! Wow! Never knew the kid before but you can bet we'll be having him on a bunch more. This kid is Epic!

    Go to Brewers.com as they should have a link to all of theri "confirmed" twitter accounts. Should be listed under social media.

    We stayed at the Hospitality Suite Resort a few years back. I loved the place. There were a ton of baseball fans there and you are just down the road from the Scottsdale hot spots. Make sure you rent a car. Thanks sauveb! Looking forward to meeting some of you at the games/around town.

    They'd be better off signing... http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSfiot8JQc7SZ_IOMyh7BSfavsBZmMWdCXQ2zbEFNzUCBWP3PZv

    This means that it's now even less of a chance that the WC comes out of the central. I believe we'll win the NL Central, but if we don't, at least I was confident with our chances for the WC. Like TLB stated, this trade only takes W's away from STL/CIN/MIL. LOL to the overall L's for Pitt. My prediction is 50-112
