  1. If Greinke posts a sub 3.00 era this year, i think he's looking at a $200M contract next year
  2. Absolutely ZERO excuse for Weeks batting in the top 5 spots right now however.
  3. I sure hope you're right oldcity. I think its a crapshoot right now however who provides a bigger hole in our lineup. Conrad or Weeks
  4. The guy has flat out lost it Bill Hall style. I am seriously worried Weeks' contract will be remembered as the worst in Brewers history right now
  5. hate to say it, but i just predicted to the room full of people here that we were going to give up a grand slam to some scrub batting .150 ...
  6. http://twitter.com/#!/fireronroenicke Looks like someone already has the Twitter Handle
  7. www.fireRoenicke.com Anybody register the website yet? I'm seriously onboard. With the way this franchise has handled Gamel (and now Green), we deserve to suck
  8. There was a pretty good debate going on this weekend at a local sports bar. Thoughts? I think remembering Robinson is really important, as the pre-Robinson era is a black mark on the sport that MLB eventually corrected, but I might think the overall day is a bit overblown. Then again, I never lived through the era, so I'm not one to judge...
  9. *cough* Taylor Green! Though Green can't play SS... Can Braun play SS? LOL
  10. Well, my MO has been a "fake trade" in recent years, so I thought I'd try something more subtle this year. That, and being older, with more family responsibilites, leaves less time to come up with something really really good Secretly, I really do hope Yost comes back to us some day. Not quite sure why though :P
  11. (AP) Kansas City- Kansas City Royals Manager Ned Yost abruptly announced his retirement Sunday morning just as the dawn of a new baseball season was on the horizon. Yost, who was manager of the Royals almost two seasons, had also recently signed an extension through the 2013 season. Hitting coach Kevin Seitzer will manage the team for 2012 on an interim basis. Asked for comment, Yost noted that he wanted to spend more time with his family. Yost is expected to take a front office position with the Milwaukee Brewers where he served as manager for six years (2003-2008) and was a member of Milwaukee’s 1982 American League Championship squad. Yost, who helped transform the Brewers from one of the worst franchises in baseball, into a team that has been a regular contender for the playoffs had hoped to help Kansas City reclaim their past glory. Unfortunately, despite young players such as Alex Gordon and Alcides Escobar, the Royals were not able to turn the corner. Sources close to Yost indicated that the team just didn’t have enough “battlers” like he had during his run with the Brewers. It is widely expected that Yost will serve as a special assistant to Brewers GM Doug Melvin. Melvin has been looking to upgrade the bullpen in recent weeks, and Yost will serve as a special team consultant on bullpen management. Asked why make the decision so late before the start of a new season, Yost offered “this type of Decision could only be made on April 1st”.
  12. Will anyone being irritated if Prince ends up inking a 5/125 deal with either the Bluejays or the Nationals? I'm starting to think he's going to need to accept a 5 year deal, and i can't see someone going over $25 per. I still don't see how we could have afforded $25 per... but over a 5 year deal, it might have been worth it Actually, I could see: 2012: $20 million 2013: $22 million 2014: $24 million 2015: $26 million 2016: $28 million 2017: $30 million option, $10 million buyout Deal becomes 5/130 or 6/150
  13. This has no chance in happening, but if you were GM, would you consider it? Prince signs a 3 year $90 million dollar deal (2012-2014), with $45 million deferred to be paid out (2015-2023) ($5M per) Prince gets $30M per, topping Pujols, the Brewers increase payroll, but not to a fatal level ($15M/year), and the team isn't stuck with an albotross of a contract Prince gets another shot at a "MEGA DEAL" in 3 years, in a year when the Red Sox and Yankees might be much more interested in his services
  14. Serious question. I believe according to Forbes that the team is currently worth about $300 million? What would the team value need to increase over the next 5 years for the team to take a short term loss each year in payroll in order to keep the "Big 5" around for the forseeable future (Braun, Fielder, Greinke, Marcum, Gallardo) Just throwing out some numbers... say all of those players can be kept it the payroll is stretched to $110 million over the 5 years, then a few years of low cost rebuilding before going for it again. If the team "loses" 20 million annually, but wins a world series, would the team value increase to $500 million + assuming 3 division titles, 2 NL Pennants, and a World Series?
  15. Well, with the ink now dry, it will be interesting to see how this impacts Pujols, Fielder, and Reyes
  16. WOW! http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/mlb/story/_/id/7233500/sources-matt-kemp-los-angeles-dodgers-160-million-deal Then again, the Reyes, Madson, etc.. were done deals, so I guess we can wait for the ink to dry. Does this have an impact on Fielder's deal?
  17. Any idea what it will cost (even for cheap seats) to get into World Series Games 1 or 2? By comparison, for those that didn't get tickets directly from the Brewers (ST holders), what did it cost you on the open market to get 2 seats? I'm willing to wait until the last minute, but is there any chance i'd be able to get 2/500 (WS) ??
