  1. Maybe the organization is going to take all these middle infielders and combine them to form one Voltron middle infielder.
  2. Cardinals will probably sign Tommy John and turn him into a 19-game winner and a playoff hero.
  3. "Did you say 'maxed out'?" --Dusty Baker
  4. A good negotiator in no way tries to rip off the other party.
  5. Honestly, who cares about the Greinke trade? The goal of a trade is not to fleece the other team. Greinke was (and still is) an all-world starting pitcher and was a major reason why the Brewers had a great season a few years ago and came really close to reaching the World Series. The Brewers knew they had a chance to make a run, so they made the trade to try to put themselves over the top. I was sorry to see Cain go at the time. I had a hunch he was going to be really good. But I also understood that the Brewers had to give up some prospects to get Greinke (oh, and Yuni). That's just the way it works. I don't care about losing Escobar - he's a perfectly decent player, but nothing special. Jeffress wasn't anything at all and we got him back. Odorizzi might turn out to be very good, but again, if you're going out to get a badass pitcher, you have to give something up. You can argue if the Brewers NEEDED to make the trade, but the trade itself was fine.
  6. My god. Leadoff hitters for the Reds in 2012 - the last time they won the division - had a .254 OBP.
  7. Not that we as Brewers fans have it easy, but man it must suck to be a Nationals fan right now. They had their window and it looks like it is closing quickly.
  8. I wouldn't really call Escobar a "stud." Cain, obviously, is an MVP-caliber player. He's the one guy that when the trade went down, I thought to myself, "We're going to miss him." But hey, we got a Cy Young candidate, they got an MVP candidate. We also came close to a championship.
  9. Maybe the Brewers can hire a terrible, completely un-self aware GM to be first base coach.
  10. He should open a bar and name it after himself. Seems only natural.
  11. Sounds fine to me. I don't WANT the Brewers to trade Lucroy and Braun and I don't think the front office WANTS to, either, but it's ok to allow other teams to make offers and see if anything is intriguing.
  12. In before half of BF.net suggests signing them.
  13. Look, it was a good trade for both teams. Nobody has to "win" a trade. Both players have done nicely with their new teams, and that's great. Besides, it's not like keeping Estrada would've mattered.
  14. This. And obviously every GM would choose Maddon over CC. Maddon has a bunch of experience and has had success and CC is a managerial noob.
  15. Am I the only one who loved the posing and bat flips from the Jays (omg Bautista's was just incredible) and at the same time got mad because I knew that if the Brewers did that in the playoffs, the media would be talking about how classless the team was?
  16. Not that I think Maddon is a bad manager or anything (he's good), but CC would do just fine if he had all those young stud hitters plus a starting pitcher who went from bum to Sandy Koufax almost overnight. It's Theo that should be lavished with accolades. I knew it was a bad sign for opposing fans when he traded for Rizzo. Harbinger of things to come.
  17. I think the off days during the postseason are for television purposes.
  18. What I don't like about the 1-game Wild Card playoff is that team's have a champagne celebration after clinching a playoff spot AND THEN after winning the single WC card. I mean COME ON ALREADY. http://i.imgur.com/DI0qD.gif
  19. I'd probably look at Atlanta for expansion, since they're losing their team.
