    So are you admitting that it is you and not the team that can't keep thier cool?

    Both of those posters had valid points. Braun's BABIP last year was .361. League average is usually around .300. He might be a player who will carry a high BABIP, I am not saying it isn't possible. I don't remember who, but they carried a BABIP in the .350 range. With only one season it is reasonable to expect a much lower BABIP and therfore BA/OBP than he had in his rookie year. We should also expect lower overall stats because of his crazy high LHP splits. The only postion with a lower premium on defense than LF is 1B. Braun is playing one of the "get the guy in the lineup" defensive positions. He has the athletic ability and tools to play RF and CF, but he isn't good enough to play either yet. I hope he improves enough that we can move him to one of those positions.

    Not sure if I like the deal yet or not. Braun hasn't even had a full year in the majors yet so we are not even sure what kind of player we are getting yet. I usually don't like to do any deals longer than 4 years or with players before arbitration. It also depends on the distribution of money. If it is closer to being even year to year I will like it better than if it is heavily back loaded. I am betting on backloaded.

    That trade brought us players to fill spots we would have had to fill with our young players at least a year sooner. You have to take into consideration Weeks in 2011, Hardy in 2010, and Fielder in 2011 when you evaluate that trade. Yeah Sexon was a good player, but when you have no chance at a winning record it doesn't make sense to hold onto players who are not going to be around when you are going to be competitive. Keeping a player so you can win 75 games insted of 72 games isn't worth as much as when you can win 85 instead of 82.

    In response to the opening post of this thread, I believe you were mistaken. Torre had nothing to do with the incident. Joe West took the ball from Mota because he said Mota had extra tosses in the pen. At least that was what Mota said.
  7. logan82
    So Yost was helping Torre ice Mota? Got it.
  8. logan82
    So a guy who has pitched poorly for the last 2 years and has put many runners on base all this year, but has been lucky they haven't scored has a bad game and it is Torre's fault?
  9. logan82
    I think we should keep Melvin. Looking at him, I think he has a really cool mustache. If he ever shaves it, then he has to go.

    I would add boing the Cubs when they are in town, but that has more to do with drowning out the cheers of Cubs fans more than booing the Cubs themselves. I don't want the Cubs to feel at home in Miller Park. I am not sure what value Gagne would have to this team if he is not the closer. I would prefer a closer by committee where you have 2-3 good multi-inning guys coming in during the middle innings and staying in until they have to bat or the end of the game. I am not sure where a one inning guy would fit in unless you need a reliever and the pitcher's spot is due up the next half inning. I guess Gagne as the closer isn't something I am going to get to upset about since almost every team designates a closer and that guy pitches the 9th inning with a 3 or fewer run lead. I am just glad that it doesn't appear that Gagne is our best reliever and he is our closer. That leaves better pitchers to pitch more importnat innings. BTW, I am glad to see Owen actually took the time to come see what BF.net was about after picking on our pencil protectors. Instead of just insulting and dismissing like I am sure many would. I am even more impressed that you took the time to look elsewhere and post in other places instead of just the thread directed at you.
  11. logan82
    I thought Gagne would be the closer again, but I thought it would be this coming weekend, not Tuesday.

    I like the moderation here and find many threads that are fun in the Off Topic area.

    I am a little confused here. Why would Branyan make a good backup 1B? Are you talking about interleague games in AL ballparks only? I am not saying he wouldn't be a nice backup to Prince, just that there isn't really any way he should start against lefties and no way Prince should be out vs righties. That leaves almost no playing time for him at 1B unless Prince is injured in which case it would be just as easy to call him up form AAA where he can continue playing quite a bit as to let him sit on the bench. Sorry to nitpick. I agree he would be a good platoon mate for Hall. It would also be nice if we had a lefty on the bench with enough power to hit ball past the warning track.

    You might not, but that doesn't mean that others wouldn't. Fireing Yost was pushed pretty hard last week by many posters as a fix for all our problems. In fact there were some who thought Yost was the reason for our young players not hitting.
  15. logan82
    I thought his problem so far this year has been an inability to locate his fastball.
  16. logan82
    I originally thought he was pulling his hand out of his glove then going into his windup, but he fixed that before yesterday.
  17. logan82
    So I had the counting right, but not how it was counted. I wasn't to worried about being wrong about it as I figured I was pretty close and somebody would correct anything I got wrong and I would know more afterwards.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif So all told, a player drafted could be kept under control for 13 years including the year that player is drafted. I thought we had this stuff somewhere on BF.net, but if we do I forgot where.
  18. logan82
    Ok, I thought it was 3 full years after the player was drafted which means that LaPorta for example wouldn't have to be on the 40 man until after the 2010 season. The year a player is drafted doesn't count as a full year. Then there would be 3 years on the 40 man when options were used before keeping a guy in the majors or sending him through waivers or exposing him to the rule 5 draft(not really clear on how that stuff works out).
  19. logan82
    Yes one of those 3. I am not sure which at this point, but I would lean towards Parra since I think his innings should be limited at some point. If Sheets tricep is still bothering him I agree that we should go every 5 games, but if it isn't he should go every 5 days.
  20. logan82
    In every interview I have ever seen with Sheets he always makes some sort of joke. He has a very dry sense of humor. Remember this is the guy who joked about having a multihit year last year. Saying there is no problem with maple bats because he hasn't broken one sounds exactly like something Sheets would say. He knows how bad at hitting he is and constantly makes jokes about it.

    Not all radio guys are bad, I like Homer http://www.madisonsportsradio.com/content/shows/show/4 He at least will read stuff and do research and change his mind. He originally hated the pitcher batting 8th, but went out did some research and reading. He came back a day or two later and admitted he was wrong. He is also talking up OBP over BA.
  22. logan82
    They booed Pujols on Sunday.
  23. logan82
    Bet he will be according to ESPN.
  24. logan82
    I am through defending our fans as a whole. They don't deserve it. There are good fans, but I will only defend them on an individual basis. They were doing the wave Sunday with a guy on first, Hart no less who can/will steal bases, and a 2 run lead in the 7th inning. It went around 3 times during one at bat. Then went back the other way half an inning later.
  25. logan82
    Gagne's hands are a little different when he starts his windup. He is keeping his hand in his gloce longer. Before he held his hand out of his glove at the start of his windup.
