  1. Weeks is already getting paid over $1 million, so no you can pay Fielder more. Heck Hart is making less than Braun even though he has more service time.
  2. Because old closers stink in general. Stability is highly overrated.
  3. I guess I just don't get why everyone is so worried about this. 4 years is an eternity in baseball. Most players are done after 8. The player most likely to be gone soon is Hardy who is only under control for 3 years and whose replacement is already in AAA.
  4. Rivera won't be traded. If he made it through waivers last year, he has no trade value now. He'll be back in AAA as an emergency catcher.
  5. Rivera does suck. He can't hit and is bad defensively.
  6. Given that the Rays look to win about 80 games and Baltimore stinks, hardly "bold"
  7. I agree, its just that people act like pitchers are treated with kid gloves when in truth they aren't handled much differently they just have a much more difficult job and it takes more pitches to get through a lineup
  8. Again last I've seen they throw about the same number of pitches per season since they moved to 5 man rotations
  9. The Brewers can pay him anything above minimum. By renewal, it means they never actually signed a new contract and the Brewers just unilaterally renew the contract. Keep in mind Fielder was upset previously when he got a raise but because the minimum also went up he really didn't get much of one over the minimum increase.
  10. Turnbow can't go back to back days, likely because in order to maintain any control he no longer has much of a windup. This likely leads to more strain on certain muscles. All that means is that he shouldn't close. Risek isn't much better than Turnbow as a pitcher though he can likely go moee days in a row.
  11. Wonder if that was another blown hit and run?
  12. Yost has the hitting and running into outs in midseason form!
  13. Why? Time Warner still seems to be the only place that carries FSN WI in HD
  14. Biggio could have gone to Garner and had him stop hitting lead off. He didn't. He could have accepted less money to play in 2007 after he collapsed in 2006. He demanded a raise. If the Astros didn't think they could compete they wouldn't have signed Lee.
  15. I always feel that the interleague stuff is way overplayed. Yes The Red Sox could easily win 10 more games than the Rays (and yes its the Rays, I don't want any nasty letters!) but if the Cubs catch Kazmir and the Brewers miss Beckett suddenly the odds shift dramatically.
  16. Lee is no slouch with the bat, however his biggest problem has been staying healthy. Chone for example has him at .301/.390/.524 vs Fielder at .290/.394/.574 but Prince gets an extra 100 PAs.
  17. Seriously, TW will come in and rewire you entire house if that's what it takes. And that may be the case if you cable was run more than 10 years ago. The older cables just weren't shielded enough and long runs lead to signal degradation.
  18. Will that mean though that anyone besides Time Warner customers will see them?
  19. God no. Biggio just was an anchor his last few seasons. His OPS hides his awful .306 OBP in 2006. And he followed that up with a .285 in 2007. Add to that Garner hitting him first to get him more ABs to get 3000 hits and you have a player hurting his team. Its not up to the playre to figure he's done, that is the teams job. The player's job is to do whats best for him, and for Biggion it was making fistfulls of money while assuring a HoF spot.
  20. If Yost gives Gange the number of easy saves he gave Cordero, sure
  21. Hardy is the Brewers 7th best hitter and Cameron has better on base skills, don't know why you'd flip them Nice of Yost to go with Vargas to give the crowd their money's worth. Those two innings will take a nice 90 minutes!
  22. Things tp try: Turkey---Cheap and if you have a grill with decent temperature control fairly easy. The secret of course is to brine the bird for a good 24 hours Pork Tenderloin--tends to be the cheapest at Sam's club in cyrovac. A simple terryaki marinade or a simple spice rub will do wonders. You do have to be attentive here and keep turning it to avoid too much charring. Center Loin Pork chops--more like a cutlet, but oh well. On sale at Sentry this week, they are basically just slices of a pork loin roast. They are have about the same amount of fat as boneless skinless chicken breasts but in an easier shape to grill. And since they are pork, you basically can flavor them in any variety of ways and they'll be great. Really nice thing if you want to grill something fast. Italian sausage-make sure the grill is indirect or really low depending on your set up Asparagus grilled is really good with just salt and pepper. Peppers and tomatoes on skewers work nicely I'd avoid bone-in chicken breasts. Just a bear (for me at least) to grill to keep them from burning and sticking. Same with wings.
  23. Usually I think you get one, but in line with what Capuano got this year after having a bad year last year. So say a $500K increase.
  24. Does this mean Inman is ready? not close. But a 20 year old doing that at AA doesn't mean the guy had some sort of huge regression. And that he is repeating AA at 21 hardly means he is falling behind.
