    Right now if a team wants Katin they have to keep him on the 25 man for a year. If he is put on the 40 man and then waived a team only needs a 40 man spot. Dillard could also be offered 40 man money with the Brewers and an NRI to Arizona and they coudl keep a 40 man spot open.

    The Big Ten seems to have perfected instant replay. Since the MLB crew rotates every game you're less likely to get into the NFL place where the head official must make the call sine he is "in charge"

    How is Boston a favorite? They have Youkilis under contract and can bring back Ortiz for $12.5m. Yes Fielder is better than Ortiz but Fielder would cost more in terms of money and talent.
  4. endaround
    No Braun, Hart McGehee and Fielder are horrible due entirely to their play.
  5. endaround
    There is no salary situation. The Brewers will be hard pressed to spend the amount of money they have next year and that's before any Fielder trade. $14.5m for Suppan, $8m for Hall, $8m for Hoffman, $5.25m for Davis, $4.215m for Bush $2.15m for Zaun is over $34m.

    You're not going to get a Gallardo for Fielder. You might get a Jeffress (without the baggage) plus a 20 year old A+ guy for Fielder.

    One thing to keep in mind is that the team is going to want 40 man room if they trade Fielder. Unless they are sure Farris and Katin will be in Milwaukee in 2011, I don't see them getting spots. Inglett's spot is secure and since Farris can't play short I don't see him being added. Katin has a bit bigger window to be in Milwaukee since he seems to be facing the might of Carlos Gomez but I don't think anyone is afraid of losing Katin in the Rule 5 draft so my guess is they let it be for now. Green is a slightly different case but I think they'll risk losing a guy who had a mediocre 2nd time through AA. I think Peralta has to be added. And I think Kinztler should be as well. The big issue is what to do about Anundsen, will a team take him and stick him on the DL for all of 2011? I don't know how his rehab is going but it could be worth $400K and a loss of a year of service if he can come back full strength for someone in 2012.

    We know large jumps in innings contributes to injury. It doesn't mean that by limiting inning jumps you can stop injuries it just means you significantly reduce the risk. And Braddock isn't going to be a starter, he can hardly hold up under the work of a reliever.
  10. endaround
    I'd be very surprised if they don''t sign a FA pitcher this winter. They have 2 spots to fill and my guess is Fielder isn't going to bring in a starter who is ready to go in April unless SF wants a Fielder for Cain deal for some reason.

    1) Buy an index fund 2) don't touch it 3) don't touch it 4) Ignore everything and don't touch it Unless you have huge amounts of time or you want trading as a hobby its just not worth trying to actively manage your portfolio. And unless you have tons of money it isn't worth paying someone to do it either. Your biggest decision should be whether you want the fund in a normal IRA or a Roth IRA.

    And if Yo gets hurt and misses 1-2 seasons? The money doesn't matter for elite talent, there aren't replacements available for any price.
  13. endaround
    The irony is that neither Gomez or Escobar have been very good defensively and in fact were significantly worse than those they replaced despite being called defensive specialists.

    Burnett is looking at losing his starting role with the Yankees. The Yankees almost certainly will get Lee and Pettitte may come back to up his chance at the Hall.Meaning the Yankees might be looking to move Burnett and his remaining 3 years. Now he has been terrible this year and wasn't great last year but he still throws mid 90s and a move to the NL could really help him. Not sure if the Brewers are on his no trade list (very well could be) but if the Yankees would eat say $6-8m/year of his $16.5m/year contract he may be a very good target for next season.
  15. endaround
    Not the trade for Manny per se, but the fact the Sox didn't get anyone to at least give them 9 hitters.
  16. endaround
    Given that Hart's been pretty much hurt the entire time they say very little

    The easiest thing to do is to determine small markets and then base revenue sharing on $/per person the team generates in the market. So the greater $ per person generated the more revenue sharing a team gets. It will reward teams for pulling in fans instead of driving them away. And in no sense should Miami be considered a small market. It's 5.4m metro size puts it in with DC and Atlanta. Milwaukee's metro area is 1.5m, KC is about 2.1m, Cleveland is 2.1m, Cincy is 2.2m, Pittsburgh 2.3m When you start calling the Twin Cities at 3.2m and Miami at 5.4m "small market" you buy into owner spin.

    Except injury risk should be a huge concern. Gamel just lost a full year of service because of where he got injured. Cain getting inured in Milwaukee means service time, Braddock getting injured in Milwaukee means service time. So yes where a player who you have concerns about his health plays makes a huge difference. And for Cain, he got hurt as it was and took some time to recover.

    Hell, it should have happened 4 months ago. The Sox have been playing without a true DH from day one after Thome was run out of town.

    It takes about 1/2 a season usually for a player to adjust to MLB. The big positive with Lucroy is that his BB% has been increasing every month 4.5% in June, 4.9% in July to 5.6% in August. It isn't a huge improvement but its going in the right direction.
  21. endaround
    Hardy's "terrible" August is still better than anything Escobar has done.
  22. endaround
    Braddock and Cain had serious injury concerns to monitor. Axford had control issues mixed with injury issues until this year. No one knew if Loe could reinvent himself in the majors. The difference betweeen Suppan and Narveson is like 0.5 a win at most over a small time frame.
  23. endaround
    The teams with numerous fireballers in the bullpen have made trades to stock their bullpens. Melvin hasn't traded for a hard throwing pitcher in years. Our farm system is starting to produce quality relievers, and I'm excited to see Jeffress and Kitzler this September. I hope they both gets regular work, and gain as much experience as possible, along with McClendon. Todd Coffey just appeared via stork
  24. endaround
    Given that Gallardo has been poor the last two starts and not that effective the last month this makes little sense. I would rather hang onto Bush and limit Gallardo's starts.
  25. endaround
    It's pretty much profit. It is usually as close as you can come.
