    I can't really imagine Yo, Estrada, or Axford brawling. Well, maybe Axford if he has some hockey player in him.

    Well, Braun definitely looked the best of the three batters. Rollins struck out, Phillips chopped out, Braun hit one to deep right-center for an out.

    Gallardo about to face Braun. I don't know what I want to happen here. I guess go USA? EDIT: I'm thinking I want 3 K's with a Braun single in between.

    Read: "I'm not sorry and you will almost certainly take offense to this..."

    It's just a commentary on escalating salaries in MLB.

    I don't think there's anything to this latest rumor. I haven't seen it picked up by other sports media outlets. And we know the likes of ESPN and Yahoo aren't shy about running with a story before they know the facts.

    I wonder if there's something else going on with Marcum's arm other than just poor conditioning. I mean, you never hear about a guy being made to sit out of camp to strengthen his arm. It seems really weird to me that he would've just failed to work in the offseason and come to camp with an arm so weak that he has to take almost a month off Spring Training.

    Yeah...we had no chance in hell to sign Greinke. In reference to the importance of money in determining where he signed: I actually find it pretty awesome that he made no bones about his desire for the best deal. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/blog/jon-heyman/21767425/honest-greinke-who-admits--was-top-consideration-made-texas-offer-before-la-deal

    Going by the ultra-non-scientific test, at no point in their careers did I think to myself, "Wow. Andy Pettite and Jorge Posada are fantastic players. Definitely two of the greatest players of all time."

    I suppose I'd have to look at his stats, but off the top of my head, as much as I love Yo and think he's a great pitcher, I can't see him coming close to making the HOF.
  11. dlk9s
    I'm not really talking about specific moves, but more the general attitude people take that as soon as someone gets good, they should be traded.
  12. dlk9s
    Let's see if they finally figure out the power of YouTube and actually let people post MLB videos there.

    To expand on Ennder's point, the problem with continually sacrificing the present for the future is that said future might never come. I, too, would love it if the Brewers could build the perfect self-sustaining franchise that can win every year, but that's not the situation we've been in. DM made moves to bolster teams that had legitimate shots at the World Series. Barring extreme stupidity by other GM's, he wasn't going to strengthen both the present teams (meaning 2008-2012) and future teams simultaneously. The real problem has been drafting, not trades.
  14. dlk9s
    Exactly. Additionally, it's usually better to have hard throwers in the bullpen because they will often appear in situations where it's really, really helpful to be able to get a punch-out.
  15. dlk9s
    If we are working under the assumption that the Brewers have a shot at competing for the playoffs (and I think we are), I'd rather go with Narveson. We know he's solid. We're going to have enough youngsters in important pitching roles as it is.
  16. dlk9s
    Obviously. I said "the" reason, not "a" reason. Prince Fielder is not good in the field. The reason he is not good in the field is his skill level, not his height. Height doesn't help, but it's not why he's less-than-wonderful at first base. While a guy who's 6 feet tall will be at a disadvantage to one who is 6'6", the shorter guy can still be perfectly fine out there if he can handle the glove.
  17. dlk9s
    I don't know anything about any of these guys, but height is not the reason why Fielder is a sub-par first baseman, so I don't think that comparison is a very apt one.

    When I first read this, I thought you said "raffle promo." I thought that sounded like fun.

    Funny thing is, even if we never heard about it last year, we would've heard about it now. That, or Braun would've come up with a different story as to why he is on some of Bosch's lists.

    Out of curiosity, I decided to run my own test. I stored 1/4 cup of my urine in a triple-sealed Tupperware container in my home office at room temperature for 36 hours. I know that's not quite as long as Braun's sample, but I figured it was close enough for my amateur experiment. After unsealing the sample, it certainly did not taste sterile.
  23. dlk9s
    I'm thinking it was a "Hangover" situation. Braun and Cervelli need to go around Miami piecing together their crazy night.
  24. dlk9s
    Regardless of people's expectations about the 2012 bullpen, nobody expected it to be a train wreck into a dumpster fire. With just a mediocre performance out of the bullpen, we could've made a title run. And I agree with Ennder about Axford. Absolutely no reason to look to trade him after 2011 - you have a young guy with really good stuff who seems to have a good head on his shoulders. Plus, as a nice bonus, he appears to love being a Brewer. There was no reason to think he was going to suck and I, personally, feel confident he'll figure out how to bounce back. He's not a headcase like many closers.

    I was only half serious about locking the thread, by the way (or half joking, depending on your perspective).
