    Scooter looks to have Ganter's bat and Week's defense. If he is a starter on your team he'll always be one you're looking to replace.
  2. endaround
    That is a Doug Melvin kind of guy. A free swinger with pop. Besides Prince Fielder who have we had in recent memory who was a high OBP type of guy? Seriously? The Brewers employed both Russel Branyan and George Kottarras.

    Except they were also using steroids. This is always ignored. Tom House admitted that steroid use among pitchers was rampant in the 1970s in order to be able to recover quickly. Jose Cancesco just didn't accidentally sit on needle in Oakland in 1989, there is a history to reach that point. Braun's case showed how slap dashed the whole drug testing process was. And not just for baseball, but for all sports. (Not having dedicated couriers to save a few thousand dollars a year is insane when we are talking about millions of dollars of income and revenue.) MLB and Drug Warrior Inc were embarrassed and will do all they can to get Braun likely for the rest of his life.
  4. endaround
    Yep. As long as you don't count Escobar, Lucroy, Axford, Henderson, Segura, Aoki, Gamel, Fiers, Estrada, or Peralta the Brewers never give guys a shot without a major league track record.
  5. endaround
    People do realize that Genett had an OPS below what what Weeks had last year while Gennet was in AA? Gennett has one skill, to hit for average. But unless you somehow think a .483 BABIP in AAA with no power means something, Gennett is a 1 WAR player at best.
  6. endaround
    Yo has been rather poor so far this season. His Ks are way down and his fastball velocity is another mph slower over last year. These are some worrisome issues.
  7. endaround
    From July 2012. In July 2012 Weeks hit .272/.380/.533. So yeah, maybe not so excellent.
  8. endaround
    Weeks shouldn't hit 4th mostly because he'll never hit for a high BA. The fact that Braun won't hit 4th like he should is what is driving all this. That said swapping Weeks and Lucroy won't do anything. And can we realize that Gennett had a .293/.330/.385 line in AA last year?
  9. endaround
    Actually Melvin tends to take hard throwers and hope they get over their control issues. Hence Turnbow, Axford to some extent (injury had a lot to do with his issues), and Henderson. The guys that don't have control issues are really hard to find.
  10. endaround
    Yeah did you see how he only went 1 for 3 with a walk today? I mean getting on base half the time? What's up with that?
  11. endaround
    Since Axford has one of the longest consecutive save streaks he therefore must be clutch and only the unclutchness of other Brewers causes him to blow saves.
  12. endaround
    No. He was tagged on the thigh and was still a good two feet away from the bag.
  13. endaround
    Maldonado was ready to be a glove first catcher.
  14. endaround
    Or more likely they want to keep the 40 man spot open. DFAing Yuni or Lalli come June won't kill anything.
  15. endaround
    Thank god youth prevented JJ Hardy from ever sliding wrong and getting injured!
  16. endaround
    I could see maybe using Axford against the RHer to start the inning. But after Hinske was called upon, should clearly have been removed.
  17. endaround
    Be upset at the fastball Weeks missed in the bottom of the 9th that he should have deposited in the bullpen
  18. endaround
    The difference between Gonzalez and Morris over a month is basically zero. Why Yuni over Morris? Because Yuni can play other positions and will not tie down a 40 man spot for the year to fill in for a month.
  19. endaround
    Chavez should have swung after that pitched sailed past Lucroy and ran to 1B
  20. endaround
    Yep to put Yuni at SS.... Why not take out Aoki if you are so concerned...
  21. endaround
    ala Jim Ganter? It was a home run, there is nothing Jim Ganter about that Bill.
  22. endaround
    Well Segura has no lateral range right now. If only there were like 3 other players capable of playing SS on the team right now...
  23. endaround
    Yuni showing the hands that made him famous
  24. endaround
    It plays around with science fiction, religious belief and myth-making to an amazing extent. I don't want to hijack this thread for a one that would become full of spoilers. We could move to another thread if you would like to discuss it more.
  25. endaround
    The difference between Gonzalez and the alternatives for 1 month is basically zero. A LHer to balance the lineup would be nice but that is about it.
