I thought that one hit his feet. He plays defense like he is underwater. Everything is slow.
-
At this point I think the team is better off long term leaving Gamel in the minors to work at 1B most of the year. Bring him up as a DH for interleague.
-
Anything that deprives Kotsay of a start is ok in my book.
-
The only thing Betancourt can't do on offense that JJ could, is draw walks. Don't underestimate that ability. Hardy still put up a .320 OBP last year. I think most people would be ecstatic to see Gomez or Betancourt do that.
-
Betancourt is such a poor defensive SS that a different SS doesn't need to be a good hitter to be a better alternative at SS.
-
Why would you even bother plugging it in to charge? You can go to the store and buy rechargeable AA's with a charger cheaper and then just swap them out as they die. They also work with the Wiimotes. No plugging them in and having a wired controller if the batteries die. Of course the fact that you have to actually buy a charging cable in the first place sucks. Ditto for the Wii.

Adam LaRoche or better is probably a reasonable expectation for Gamel at 1B. Averagish defender around an .800 OPS. I think Gamel can be better than average on defense at 1B. Have to keep in mind that just like in LF the bar is low for defense at 1B. I also think .800 OPS is on the low end of expectations for Gamel as a hitter.
-
Gamel should make up some value with good defense so it isn't to far fetched to think we will not see much drop off from Fielder to Gamel.
-
So Morgan is a better #2 hitter for all the right reasons and all the wrong reasons.
-
That is how I feel. I didn't like the Wolf signing but he isn't all that expensive. I think we wait and see how some of our minor league guys pan out before making any decisions on Wolf. Every team needs 7+ starting pitchers every year. Unless we would be forced to release somebody or somebody is clearly better we might as well keep Wolf.
-
He was worth 2 wins last year playing only part of the year. He isn't what he was in 2007-2008 but even half a year of Hardy and half a year of Counsel/other guy is better than Betancourt.
-
Yeah well somebody wiped their butt with the stale piece of bread we are stuck with at SS.
-
No, we haven't. Hardy has been much more valuable than Gomez. We didn't need Hardy last year but this year he would be really helpful.Hardy would be adding negative value to the team right now. If Hardy was on the Brewers right now Counsell would be the everyday SS. Hardy right now is a platoon player because he can not stay healthy. You only add negative value if you play poorly. You can argue Hardy is less than a full time player because he can't stay healthy but he is far better than just a platoon player. Gomez isn't even a platoon player. He actually hits LHP worse than he hits RHP. His value is all in his glove and baserunning. He subtracts from his value every time he steps to the plate. I never brought salary into the discussion so I think you guys are arguing something different. I believe we traded the better, rarer talent in the deal. We have had 4-5 guys I can think of off the top of my head that would have added more to the Brewers winning than Gomez. If we are talking about money, the trade was a salary dump and nothing more. Luis Cruz/Counsel for the part of the season Hardy is injured and Hardy for the rest is a much, much better situation that what we currently have at SS.

Stetter when Parra comes back, Estrada when Greinke comes back and Green when Hawkins comes back. That would be my guess anyway. Stetter will have to pass through waivers to go down I believe.
-
I am not a Betancourt defender, but there is no way he turns a double play by throwing a ball to Rickie. If I remember Rickie was running past the base. Betancourt had no other option.If it is the play I remember, Betancourt was closer to 2B than Weeks. Betancourt for the most part has matched the expected level of suckitude.
-
I think all the extra base hits are. Really Weeks, Gomez, Braun and Morgan are the only guys with speed. Weeks and Braun keep getting extra base hits. Gomez can't get on base. Kotsay plays instead of Morgan.
-
I give no credit to triple R. He has pretty consistently made some confusing/bad decisions so far. I would agree about some of his decisions. I was referring to his positive attitude, which numerous players have referenced when talking about getting past the losing streak.Eh. Pretty easy to be upbeat at the start of the season. You would probably have heard the same rhetoric regardless of the manager with the talent we currently have.
-
McGehee hit a HR but that wasn't exactly the right move to make. Good results so far, bad decisions. I was looking at the box score and I wonder if there are so many Betancourt's playing that they really need to specify Y. Betancourt.

Morgan better be in left. Have to get your best defense on the field right here.
-
Oops, I mean right.
-
I would start feeling better about RRR if he would double switch at some point. Right here would be a perfect time to DS. Put the pitcher in Almonte's spot and bring in Morgan for defense in the pitcher's spot.
-
Whew, that was a rocket by Kotsay there.
-
I can't believe Kotsay was safe. Man is he slow.
