    Cappy, I like you and all, but I have to admit that I don't think you're the Messiah like patrickgpe does. I think the saddest part of all of this is that the Brewers now have no soap opera stars on the roster.

    And if he stinks, we can always call him "Sigh-To." http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    I can't imagine it would. I'm guessing those don't really count as real contracts.

    We got snow in Atlanta. White Christmas in the South! Wait...that sounds bad.

    From Wikipedia: The use of gross likely originated from the fact that 144 can be counted on the fingers using the fingertips and first two joints of each finger when marked by the thumb of one hand. The other hand is then used to count multiples of 12. Therefore, 12 countings of 12 equals 144. It is a simple counting system that can be practiced without paper or other marks. Eeeeenteresting.

    I'm guessing another reason they haven't gone back to the old logo is because now they can sell a bunch of new and old logo gear. If they go back to the old one, I don't see them selling tons of the current logo gear, as people wouldn't be nostalgic for it.

    Those 90's unis were the absolute worst.

    Hopefully this means he'll be inducted into the Hall of Fame as a Brewer.

    Kickers and punters are recycled like crazy. Get cut by one team, get picked up by another the next week.

    The only piece I don't like giving up is Cain. Don't care about Escobar. Betancourt isn't good, but he's no worse than Escobar. Jeffress has promise, but as has been discussed, we have enough young bullpen arms. I know people don't like losing Odorizzi, but he's still "just" a low level prospect, so there's no guarantee that he'll be amazing in the bigs. True, it sucks that we give up all these young guys under team control, but it's what you have to do sometimes. For me, the only one I think I'll miss within the next few years is Cain, but I am very happy to welcome Grienke to Milwaukee.

    Depends on who the girl is.

    I definitely don't want the Brewers to trade Axford (for all the obvious reasons, plus he seems like a good kid), but as GAME05 said, a good starter is harder to find than a good closer and we have what seem to be decent options for the position.

    I knew the day had to come, but it really seemed like Bob Feller would live forever. He was that legend that I could always count on seeing on TV at least once a year. I remember when my brother and I were kids, we bought a book of baseball players' addresses. Feller was known to be great at writing back, so my brother sent him an index card to sign. Sure enough, Mr. Feller signed it and lived up to his reputation. I believe I remember seeing a piece on TV way back when about how he and his wife went through his fan mail every day.

    I think "appease" is probably not the appropriate word to use there, as it would imply that Ryan was upset with the organization or something. I think I get what you mean, though.
  16. dlk9s
    Right. I figured that could be the case. Like I said, I was just using some simple assumptions in my little exercise.
  17. dlk9s
    People are forgetting cost of living differences. Staying simple and going on the assumption that he lives in Philly and would have lived in NY, he could "afford" to make less money in Philly. Online cost of living calculators have him needing anywhere between $170 and $200 million in NY to equal his $120 million in Philly.
  18. dlk9s
    No. If we're going under the assumption that the Brewers would "have a shot" with Grienke, they'd certainly have a shot with Garza. Obviously the Phillies' rotation is sick and I believe they should win the NL now, but a playoff rotation of Gallardo/Marcum/Garza/Wolf would be fully capable of beating the Phillies. I'm not saying they would definitely outpitch the Phillies' rotation, but they could in any given 4-7 game stretch.
  19. dlk9s
    So...yeah...I guess it will be nice if the Brewers can make the playoffs and lose to the Phillies again.

    I gave TJ surgery as one example of an injury that caused him to lose time. I didn't say it was the reason for all of his missed starts in NY. If you want to question Pavano's dedication because you think he could have come back from injury faster than he actually did, fine. I could buy that, although it would be pure conjecture on your part. At the same time, I have a feeling that any potential lack of dedication in NY would have been because he didn't feel comfortable playing there. But that's all besides the point. I think the theory that he actually willingly kept himself out of shape so as to get hurt because he was no longer in a contract year is silly. As someone said earlier, he could have earned a lot more money after his stint with the Yankees had he stayed healthy.
  21. dlk9s
    I suppose, but I don't think that's really much of an issue right now, since those prospects wouldn't make it to the majors (if they do) many years from now. It's not like we'd be drafting them next year.
  22. dlk9s
    So just to clarify, you think that Pavano was like, "Screw it, I'm gonna mess up my elbow and have Tommy John surgery because I'm not in a contract year." Is this correct? You believe that when he was in the middle of a contract, he just let himself get hurt, damaging his chances at another big contract?
  23. dlk9s
    I'm guessing the Brewers see him as a reliever and therefore wouldn't want to give up Cain for him. Just a guess, though.
  24. dlk9s
    Doesn't even need to be a no-hitter. I bet a lot of people will be screaming Nieves NO! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When they see his name in the lineup. http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/2849/3346f60.gif

    It's $775,000 with $45,000 in incentives. Non-guaranteed, as stated. He'll be competing for the backup job with our old buddy Mike Rivera and Kottaras. I'm not a hater, but man, I should have gotten into the "terrible baseball player" business. http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/111674539.html
