    Pedro supposedly turned down 1yr/$7m so I doubt the Brewers can get him cheap
  2. endaround
    Check his UZR/150 in any season he played SS full time: -20.4, -24.6, -3.2, -10.1, -3.7. Thats not good.
  3. endaround
    That just makes little sense for Boston. Aside from having to give up major talent to get Fielder they then have to find a team to take on Lowell and his contract while at the same time dealing with Lowell's no trade clause.
  4. endaround
    Young is owed $16m a year for 2009-2013. That's scary for a guy whose career is based on his 28 year old season. And the Brewers have two better SS right now.
  5. endaround
    You can't trade a signed FA until June 15th.
  6. endaround
    I meant in CF, not overall
  7. endaround
    All those players are significantly better than Fielder defensively and a healthy Johnson meets him offensively. Why would the Giants give up Cain or the Angels Santana for Fielder when they get 2/3rds the player and keep Cain or Santana?
  8. endaround
    So CHONE was off on Weeks' 2008(mostly due to the Brewers sitting Weeks) and pretty much nailed Weeks in 2007 and Chone in 2008(20 points of AVG due to a career high BABIP isn't a big deal). Weeks value was $9.6 m despite being sat. Hudson was at $9.5m because his defense stunk.
  9. endaround
    So teh Brewers sign Dunn. But that still leaves Abreu and Floyd. And the Nats want to dump Johnson. And then you have Nomar, Wigginton, and Durham.
  10. endaround
    No its more that the press only somewhat cares about speed and no players do. After all Mark grace will get high and mighty about steroids one minute and say he did speed the next and that's fine.
  11. endaround
    Week's CHONE projection .257/.368/.431 Hudson's CHONE projection: .276/.347/.408 so no, all indications are he'd bring in a worse OBP and SLG.
  12. endaround
    God that is a stupid article from Rosenthal. Cost certainty? Its certain Dunn will cost $10m or more than Fielder over the next three years. And no one wants Fielder this offseason. Why give up Cain for Fielder at $5-6m when you can sign Abreu for $7-8m? The Angels already have too many OFers/1B/DH types with Rivera now in the fold
  13. endaround
    Yep. Before the market crash of this offseason everything sounded like Kapler wanted at least $2.5m and a chance to start. I think if he came in at $1m the Brewers would resign him but then so would a bunch of teams I think outside of Hall (a big outside of there) the Brewers bench will be making near minimum.
  14. endaround
    Irribarren will likely compete with Gwynn for the 5th OFer/25th man spot. Both can play CF, Gwynn is better obviously but Irribarren also can fill in at 2B. Both are LH with speed. Neither really deserves to be on the team at present but both are cheap so they have that going for them. If the Brewers think Nelson can play OF even a little you'd think he'd make the team but given that they kept Hart in during his ghastly September thats an open question. With Braun more used to the OF they might try him in RF a bit allowing them to put Nelson in LF. Perversely to some degree if Nelson was RH he'd actually be a better bet because then he could fill in more easily for Fielder.
  15. endaround
    Yep the Red Sox got a couple of players fractionally as talented as Cameron for a fraction of the price. Kotsay stinks and Baldelli can't play full time even if he regains some of his past form.
  16. endaround
    Abreau can't play the field as well as even Dunn. He wouldn't upgrade the team.
  17. endaround
    I'd do it just that you would have to take back a contract. And I doubt the Brewers have enough room to add both Beltre and Washburn (after Hall that would be about $15m more in salary). As for Hall, he was worth $5.7m when playing a lot. His lack of expected playing time cuts down his value and few teams would take on a contract thats' value is mostly due to his defense.
  18. endaround
    Weeks and Hardy are much, much better. Like 2 wins better
  19. endaround
    Not sure how this is below market. There's a very good chance Smoltz pitches fewer than 100 innings. Few teams can risk $5m on that in this market.
  20. endaround
    To move Hall the Brewers would likely have to take Washburn (or even worse, Batista) back in return from the Mariners.
  21. endaround
    Team C is who exactly? No one wants Hall and dumping him kills the Brewers because Lamb isn't a full time palyer. Unless Hall is part of a trade for say Washburn/Beltre he isn't going anywhere.
  22. endaround
    Braun can play left field, Cano can't play 2B. Weeks projects just as well over the next 3 seasons and is set to make 1/2 as much.
  23. endaround
    Except there has been. Oswalt supposedly went to management to see if they could redo his contract to sign Sheets.
  24. endaround
    No the Yankees can't trade Cano because of his terrible contract. Not only would they trade Cano for Cameron they would make fun of Melvin behind his back for doing it.
  25. endaround
    Its more that m,ost people had Sheets ranked as the #4 FA pitcher. Why they think Burnett is some great pitcher given his health issues is amazing but he's been valued higher than high forever. So 2 rated above Sheets have signed. Nothing really absurd with that. Keep in mind that its only recently that we are actually starting to see a good number of signings all due to Sabathia and Texeria finally getting their deals done. Sheets might haev to wait for Lowe to sign. And keep in mind Dunn is still out their and he has no injury concerns about him.
