  1. Of course he can be resigned, but it wouldn't make sense to tie up the kind of money and year that Sheets is likely to command.
  2. I predict that Hall gets at least one start.
  3. That's only next year though. We have to look at and project salaries over the duration of the contract instead of just looking at next year. I would say that we easily could sign Sheets for next year if he would accept a one year contract. The problem comes 3-4 years down the road(since he is probably going to get a 4+ year contract) when he isn't performing up to expectations and we are saddled with a terrible contract. Our best strategy as a franchise is to remain flexible year to year. Sure we are going to overpay for shorter contracts, but when a player fails to live up to the contract we aren't stuck and struggling to field a winning team for years because of that contract.
  4. Different players.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif
  5. After that last series I was going to say that the D-Backs were the worst team ever on the bases. Guess I would have been wrong.
  6. I disagree that Hart spent to much time in the minors. I think he came up at the right time. We had Jenkins and Lee in the outfield so it was ok to have him sit in AAA for an extra year. It could be argued that he would have been better in a corner than either of those guys, but even if he was, we will benefit more having him on our team in his last year of arbitration than we would have by bringing him up a year earlier. I think we would have been better leaving Hardy in the minors at least half of his rookie year as he was coming off a shoulder injury that cost him most of the previous year. In my mind he did half a season of rehab while collecting service time which will cost us a year of Hardy down the road. I don't know that a team like Milwaukee can afford to wait on a guy, if Melvin wants the young bats, he's going to create a roster spot for them, just like he did for Braun last year. I don't think we can afford to rush them anymore. In the past we had a cobbled together lineup. Now we have capable MLB players filling our roster. There is no reason to call up guys that aren't ready offensively and defensively unless there is an injury or the right deal comes along. I think the plan was for Koskie to play one more year with us so we could get Braun a little more polished defensively. I wish that's what would have happened.
  7. I have a Genisis silver B I bought a few year back and I love it. I wish I had bought the one with the side burner, but I can get by without a side burner.
  8. I sort of echo what Brian and TLB said. Can anybody who has watched Gamel on a daily basis give us a scouting report? Every time Gamel comes up everybody talks about how ready his bat is. I would prefer Gamel, and LaPorta for that matter, stay in the minors until one of 3 things happen, an injury opens up a spot, a trade opens up a spot, or Gamel is defensively and offensively ready for the majors. I am tired of guys being rushed through the minors and "their bat being ready for the majors" only to have then come up and be butchers in the field.
  9. I have a 90 min drive plus depending on traffic.
  10. I just had red X's everywhere instead of baseballs. I figured you guys were trying to tell me I was grounded.
  11. I don't think the Brewers would be willing to go much more than 3 years and almost certainly not more than 4. I don't think it matters what we could spend per year. I think another team will be willing to give Sheets at least one more year than we are willing to go.
  12. Cameron is at 4.17 P/PA. Kendall is at 3.58P/PA. Kendall has the lowest P/PA of our starters, though not by much. Braun 3.59, Hart 3.68 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/teams/batting?team=mil&cat=pitchesPerPlateAppearance&season=2008&split=0&seasonType=2&type=exp
  13. I still liked the Teriaki sauce and orange juice marinade better. 1/3 cup Teriaki sauce 1/3 cup concentrated orange juice
  14. Your thread got me thinking how Sheets curveball doesn't seem to break and he has to rely on chnageups, which he almost never used before this year. Also how we seem to have at least one pitcher get shelled every time we go to Colorado.

  19. Sheets curve ball doesn't curve in Colorado.
  20. nate, The position of your arguement has become confusing. You seemed to be trying to argue Hall will draw more walks than Hardy despite the rates potsed by TLB showing the opposite. Now you seem to be arguing that Hardy should see his BB rate increase from no longer hitting in front of the pitcher. If Hardy currently has a better BB rate and should see that increase because he isn't hitting in front of the pitcher, why should we expect Hall to BB as much as Hardy? Add to that Hall having double the K rate and I don't see how this supports Hall as having better plate discipline.
  21. I still get home around midnight from 7:00 games.
  22. I get a laugh knowing that if I want to know where we stand compared to the Cubs all I have to do is visit a thread entitled "I don't care what the Cubs do anymore."http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif
  23. That's a somewhat different case since the player getting starts in the place of Hall is being put in with a platoon advantage. Branyan also has much better splits against RHP than Hall. This is not the case with Kapler and Cameron.
  24. But if every team he has rooted for has lost doesn't that mean that he has a negative effect on the team he rooted for?
  25. Give Kapler 6 starts a month. Two at each outfield position. Any more than that and in my opinion, our regulars are out of the lineup to much.
