    If the offer was just Cain for Beachy, I would have done it in a second. Beachy was a BEAST in the minors. The worst K/BB he had in 3 seasons was 3.37. If this could have happened, I'm incredibly disappointed in Melvin.

    Are you sure Nieves is getting the start? Kottaras helps those numbers.

    "I'd love to see Gomez blow up. " Really? I'd love to see him excel and become the player so many people projected him to be. I expect him to fail or "blow up," but it would definitely be best for the team if he somehow put it together.

    Did Arroyo attend a makeout party with the rest of his Middle School class? Yeesh.

    How can anyone think trading something of value for something that could be had for free is a good deal? Regardless of him being marked as the 4th OF, it doesn't make him actually the 4th best OF on the team. Gomez is worse than Dickerson in every way except defense, and he's not even that much better at defense. When Gomez fails, and we're sending out Mark freaking Kotsay or Brandon Boggs to play CF, this is going to look bad. Real bad. Dickerson was the best CF in our system. Yes, Mitre's xFIP has been good, except he gives up a LOT of HR and has his entire career. xFIP is not a good indicator for him. Mitre is the definition of replacement level. I will eat my hat if 4 or 5 players exactly like Mitre don't show up on waivers in a week and could have been claimed for free. EDIT: Corrected a really bad run-on sentence.

    "Edit: Nevermind. CF is gonna suck big time this year on offense." That about sums it up. I was very content on waiting for Gomez to suck (which he will), and have Dickerson step in and put up a .350/.400 line with comparable defense. Now, we're looking at an UPSIDE of .320/.380. Ugh.

    "I have to think there was some sort of agreement about the television before teams like Wisconsin and Minnesota agreed to leave the WCHA." I agree. There's no way these teams agree to leave their established conferences without some sort of significant incentive. I'm guessing they're going to show a lot of games on TV, and that was probably the mover that got this conference put together. The real question is what they're going to do with the logo. They should change the G to a 6. Bam, done.

    The theme for TGTBATU doesn't build up at all. It's a great novelty concept, for sure, but it will never hold up over time as an entrance music. I want Cochise to be the choice for sure, but it looks like that's not going to happen. I hope he overrides the vote.

    "It was a no brainer for a guy like him to go there since the opportunity was much more open due to the lack of penned in rotation guys in NY. " NY also helps because of the ridiculousness of Citi Field. I can't think of a pitcher that wouldn't want to pitch in that kind of cavern.
  10. cwolf2012
    "Our current stable of young rotation talent in that class consists of Gallardo, that's it." Gallardo is better than any of the Reds' pitchers.
  11. cwolf2012
    "You have to imagine the likes of Colorado College, UMD, North Dakota, etc. aren't too thrilled about this. " Maybe. The WCHA is still really powerful with ND, CC, Denver, Duluth, St Cloud, and Nebraska-Omaha. I think this hurts the CCHA much worse than it hurts the WCHA. I feel bad for Penn State, though. Just start a new program and get thrown into a conference with these powerhouses? OUCH.

    "I don't think you can say that at all." I agree completely. Rock, you're making an awfully large amount of assumptions here with very little corroborating evidence. It's fine if you want to debate Narveson's merits as an SP and question who would be better between him and Capuano, but assuming that the Brewers lowballed him or pushed him out seems to go against everything said to the media. The Brewers had an offer out to him well before any trades were made, and Capuano broke off negotiations to test the market. That's a completely reasonable thing to do for both sides. The Brewers, instead of waiting, went ahead and got the 2 starters they needed, and Cappy realized that it lowered the possibility of him getting what he really wanted tremendously, and turned down the contract. "I'd say an offer of less than $1.5 million is, by definition, low ball" We don't know what the base salary offer was, but it could have very easily been that high (or higher) but not had nearly as many incentives as the offer the Mets gave him. This comes off, to me, as a business decision and had nothing to do with personal feelings. Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I think it's a more fair assumption based upon known data than something else more sinister.

    He's a very interesting case. >50% GB rates, but absolutely atrocious HR rates. His xFIP is in the low 4s pretty much every season, but his FIP and ERA are almost guaranteed to be nearly a point higher. I'd consider him to fill in if necessary, but it sure seems like he's got Dave Bush-itis.

    "I think he's a good fielder too, isn't he?" UZR doesn't think so, nor does DRS. He's not terrible at 1B (probably about league average), but he was an AWFUL 3B. Like Ryan Braun bad.
  15. cwolf2012
    Kottaras is so much better than any other option at hitting, and for what it's worth, his defense isn't *that* much worse. Nieves isn't all that good on D, and Rivera definitely isn't. I'm going to be disappointed if Kottaras is not kept.
  16. cwolf2012
    I think if it wasn't for the Brewers' absolutely brutal interleague schedule, expecting them to win the division wouldn't be unreasonable.

    "So I finally figured out what I have on it. It's called hijacker? Anyone know of any fixes? " Do you have the specific name of the hijacker? There are a lot of different ones. All are trojans, but each one is different. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, if you do a full scan, should find it. If not, you'll have to google the specific malware you have and remove it manually. You can also try SUPERAntispyware. I've had good results with that as well.
  18. cwolf2012
    I think Kottaras is leading at this point. That's just speculation, though. Nieves hasn't thrown anyone out, and hasn't hit either.
  19. cwolf2012
    Yun-E6 needs to keep hitting like he has so far in ST. If he tanks (which he will), the Brewers better have a very short leash on him. It sounds like his defense is still every bit as bad as we thought it would be.

    I'm amazed that you guys can just go out and run for the sake of running. I know most of you have a goal in mind (marathon, what have you), but the act of running is very difficult for me. I need some sort of direct competition or winning incentive. Props to you all. EDIT: For example, I could play hockey or racquetball every night. Maybe I just haven't given running enough chance.
  21. cwolf2012
    If the Brewers want to buy out arby years at a discount, I guess I'm okay with it. I just don't understand why you would invest money in a guy who has a reasonably 'meh' track record in the minors and has concerns about his range at age 28.
  22. cwolf2012
    "This makes Lawrie a tool. I don't see Braun ending up in situations like this. Braun is definitely confident, but Lawrie is truly arrogant and a tool. " I would bet a pretty significant chunk of money that pictures similar to this of Braun exist somewhere. He would have still been in college when this would have happened though; not already playing AA baseball at age 20. All I can say is that I hope most of you bashing him already felt this way before he was traded.
  23. cwolf2012
    As said before, it's really hard to hate on Lawrie for being arrogant, etc and then support Braun. They're very similar people in demeanor. I can tell you, that if Braun was not on the team I support, I would probably hate him. But, he's on my team, so I enjoy his ego. It makes things fun and pisses off the Cardinals.
  24. cwolf2012
    Perhaps I'm wrong, but I'm still very concerned about how much Braun's power has declined since his first 2 years in the league. He's just entering his power prime, his ISO should be doing anything but going down every year.
  25. cwolf2012
    I really wish the Brewers would have signed Branyan instead of Kotsay.
