    Lawrie will be the PTBNL in the Villy trade.

    I'm not concerned with the Tommy John surgery - it's like a tonsilectomy nowadays. Well, I guess I'm more worried than I would be if he had never had it, but so many pitchers have come back strong from it (ex: the All-Star game this year) that I'm not going to wring my hands over it. I wonder if trading Lawrie means they are close to an extension with Weeks.

    He likely enjoyed his time in Atlanta and feels the Braves have a better chance at a title this year than the Brewers do. I wouldn't let it bother you, even a little bit.

    In Soviet Russia, retirement chooses YOU!

    I wouldn't mind giving him a minor league contract with Spring Training invite.
  6. dlk9s
    I am. I thought he looked pretty good before he got hurt.
  7. dlk9s
    We should pick up Willingham just so he can't destroy us anymore.

    This. He's due $16.5 million each year through 2013. The Yankees would have to eat at least $6.5 per year before I even give it any consideration. And by "at least," I mean I probably wouldn't do it for that much. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    I think Prince is looking to become an agent once his contract is up. Thus, he's interning with Boras at the winter meetings.

    Also, players likely have Milwaukee on a no-trade list because, frankly, it's Milwaukee. It's not like our fine city has the reputation of being the coolest, most beautiful, most happening place in the world. Plus, because of the weather, most players wouldn't choose to make it their year-round residence. I mean, I like Milwaukee (though it hasn't been my permanent residence for 12 years) and many people do like it once they get there, but right or wrong, it's not typically thought of as the destination of choice for young, rich athletes.

    Player dollar values need to be taken with a grain of salt. Fangraphs dollar values for Pujols the last few years are $30.8, $34.2, $41.7, $39.0, $35.8, $29.3. He may be the GOAT 1B of all time, but does anyone really think he should get paid that much?
  12. dlk9s
    Balfour? His three pitches are fastball, fastball, and fastball. I don't see how he could be a starter when all he's used to doing is going in for an inning (sometimes two) and throwing as hard as he can.
  13. dlk9s
    Can someone explain why people are interested in Bonderman? He hasn't been good/healthy since 2006.
  14. dlk9s
    I just looked at the O's rotations from the last three years. They aren't even worth posting here. I felt like the construction worker from Major League looking at the Indians' preseason roster: "Who are these [bleeping] guys?" Cy Young couldn't have done anything with those pitchers.
  15. dlk9s
    The name Kranitz sounds like a crotchety professor from a straight-to-video 80's movie.
  16. dlk9s
    For the right price, I'd be interested in Webb and Penny. And when I say right price, I mean really, really cheap for Penny, maybe just cheap for Webb. It's a pretty miserable FA class.
  17. dlk9s
    I'd go with the Big Stein, Miller, and Simmons. I wouldn't be offended if Gillick made it, either.
  18. dlk9s
    Unless he makes a big trade, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Melvin isn't able to do much to improve the staff. The FA market is terrible this year.
  19. dlk9s
    Oh, I'm not saying I want the Brewers to hire yet another pitching coach. I'd like to see Peterson stay. I think the staff made good progress throughout the season and I like his philosophy. Plus, changing things again makes me nervous. Just commenting on the mediocre thing.
  20. dlk9s
    Being a great, good, or mediocre player has nothing to do with one's skills as a coach.
  21. dlk9s
    Let's not forget that losing Braun would greatly decrease the average attractiveness of the roster. We already traded J.J. Hardy. I don't know if we can afford to lose another heartthrob.
  22. dlk9s
    Narveson got robbed! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  23. dlk9s
    You can look at one absurd trade proposal and ridicule it, or you could actually make a reply worth reading. We all know that no way no how the team is adding 2 Sox starters and Greinke. But that has nothing to do with the fact that trading Braun could be a good move.Or you could know how to take a joke.
  24. dlk9s
    He hasn't had "chronic" injuries. He had the intercostal strain in 2008 that seemed to carry over a bit into 2009, but has been fine for quite some time now. He got hit by a pitch on the elbow this season that seemed to affect him for a while, but we also know that he appeared to recover from that later in the season and looked great. A "chronic" injury is one that keeps cropping up year after year.

    Phase 1: Trade Braun and Fielder to Red Sox for Lester and Buchholz. Phase 2: Trade Rogers, Jeffress, and Odorizzi to Red Sox for Braun and Fielder. Phase 3: ??? Phase 4: Profit!
