Even if he did mean that, he's still wrong because 1st rounders Lawrie, Jeffress and Odorizzi were traded to bring the Brewers Marcum and Greinke who got the team within two games of the World Series. So while the players themselves didn't impact the Brewers, the players they were traded for did, at least for a year. Right, and Lucroy said he understood the reason for those trades, that you have to do that sort of thing to win. He is just lamenting the CURRENT situation, that some of the best prospects like Cain, Brantley, and Odorizzi are now on other teams and that the top picks since Braun have not had an impact WITH the Brewers. People in this thread are putting words in his mouth. He obviously, based on what he said, is fine with making those big trades because that helped the team get close to a World Series. He just sees what everyone on this board complains about every day in every thread: the trades plus crappy drafting have depleted the farm system and, in turn, have hurt the big league club.
