  1. xisxisxis Uh... I'm actually advocating the Crew should keep Weeks at second.
  2. I'd have preferred Huff or Hughes if it were a pitcher, given the Sheets/Ohka situation. They'd have been MLB-ready sooner.
  3. I think compensation picks are important in two regards: 1. For teams who are in smaller markets, it is a way to even the field by giving them a better shot at acquiring new talent to develop. 2. I see nothing wrong with rewarding teams who are able to leverage June/July acquisitions. The solution might be to make the comp picks automatic - whether the team offered salary arbitration or not. Maybe make the sandwich pick dependent upon arbitration, but not the regular pick. I'd like to see the draft kept at a minimum of 50 rounds, partially for the DFE process, but also because it makes scouting beyond the top players much more important. Manny Parra was a huge payoff as a late-round DFE. So is Tim Dillard (who I think is arguably the best starting pitcher prospect in the organization). Mike Green, the safety the Chicago Bears recently traded, was a Mr. Irrelevant in the NFL - and he was a very good player for them for a few years. Late-round picks are another equalizer for small and mid-market teams.
  4. Sapp could be the catching equivalent of Prince Fielder... I hope he slips to 16.
  5. Four things: 1. Allow teams to trade picks for players or other picks. 2. Set up a special sandwich round - the ten teams that have the worst five-year records get an extra pick between the first and second rounds (before free agent compensation), the five with the worst five-year records get a second extra pick between the second and third rounds (before free agent compensation). 3. In cases where a team has signed more than one Type A or Type B Free Agent, a team that has its compensation bumped will get an extra sandwich pick (between the first and second rounds for a Type A free agent, between the second and third for a Type B). 4. Teams that lose a Type C free agent would get a sandwich pick between the third and fourth round.
  6. If a position player: Drew Stubbs or Max Sapp. If a pitcher: David Huff.
  7. I'm hoping Drew Stubbs slips to 16. Never hurts to have another OF prospect. EDIT: David Huff also looks good. Max Sapp could be a good pickup at catcher.
  8. That's about a quarter of his monthly salary, and that is a bit of a blow for a minor-league player at High-A. Does this mean he's now "Hurricane Corky"? *ducks*
  9. He seems to have straightened things out. Now... if the Crew can only get Sheets and Helling healthy...
  10. Uhh... Cirillo at short? Carlos Lee out of the game? Not good.
  11. D-Bow's struggling a little. Just get the save...
  12. I'm not sure pushing Jorge for two innings is a good idea...
  13. Wise in the 8th. Kolb in the 9th. Ballgame OVER.
  14. Maybe it would be a good idea to have Jenkins steal second... With weeks on third, I don't think Fasano would try to throw.
  15. Rickie's OPS in May: .877 Prince's: .905
  16. The filth looks unhittable today. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  17. Damian with the walk-off. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  18. Hall in center, Weeks at second, Hardy at short. Keep it going. Brady's a nice reserve at this point, but the Crew can't afford to keep any one of those three on the bench.
  19. I'll take it. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  20. Gotta like Krynzel. That .559 SLG and his 8 SB are looking very good. If he keeps it up... he becomes a front-runner for an OF slot in Mailwaukee in `07.
  21. Can't blame the Crew for wanting him around.
  22. rluzinski Nice when you have someone like Kolb to help set things up. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  23. The reason why is because they can afford to send their closer out for the 10th inning. the Brewers really can't - although it helps to have relievers like Kolb and (to a lesser extent) Wise.
