...most teams would like a pitcher who has pitched admirely in AA before they give up a top player in a trade. So you know if Peralta or Scarpetta made it to AA by June and pitch real well next year that may open more doors. But if the Brewers actually have some pitiching prospects, would it make sense to give them away for a rental, considering how much trouble they seem to have in this area? Meanwhile they seem to be good at developing sluggers, so what they should probably do is trade that sort of player for pitching. Fielder gets $10 million next year, what'll he be due in 2011 if he goes to arbitration or agrees to a contract? If they can not afford to keep him, then he can and should be moved for pitching sometime in the next couple of years. -
Isn't that better than seeing it unfold before your eyes? I waited until it was 7-6 before I went to bad and I am glad I did not stay up to see it happen. With the top notch starters we have going the next two days I'm expecting a sweep, but on the positive side, I'll only see the end of one game.
-
Nice to see the other guys doing dumb things like walking a Counsell to bring up Braun and playing sloppy defense.
-
It certainly seems to be implied in statements like: he's no longer stretched out enough to pitch a full MLB season as he didn't have the opportunity to pitch last season and he's no longer stretched out to pitch 190-200 like he was on pace to be able to do going into last season. In some ways it's good because he had a relatively easy season while he's still at high risk for injury, but as far as being a workhorse this season, he's just not stretched out enough. and Of course he threw... and multiple mentions of the 24 innings. Since you agree that pitchers do not go 4-6 months in the off-season without throwing (and presumably engaging in other conditioning exercises), might you also agree that what Gallardo did during October 2008 to April 2009, in addition to what he did while on the DL, may have more bearing on his endurance this season than the fact that he pitched 24 innings in the majors over the period from April to early October of 2008?
-
You still are promoting this assumption that the only possible exercise and conditioning available to pitchers is throwing a ball. It isn't Even without injury, pitchers go 4-6 months without pitching in games every year. The determination of how many pitches Yo can safely throw this season probably has very little to do with fact that he threw 24 innings in ML games last season, yet this tidbit of information gets brought up here over and over again, as if it should be the sole determining factor in his workload this year.
-
In addition, there is this assumption that Gallardo did absolutely nothing, after his leg injury...that the only work his right arm (and the rest of his body) got was 24 innings of pitching in major league games. This seems to to me to be a pretty unreasonable assumption.
-
Absolutely! What have they got to lose, considering the crap they seem to have in AAA? We are down two starters plus McClung and the bullpen is getting worn out.
-
Playing him in AAA at SS and 2b would make sense. He would not have to demonstrate that much offense to have value in those positions, if they are looking to trade him. Putting him in CF could also make sense, if they are looking to move him there again. But I suspect at this point, Hall would rather be traded than be bumped from his position by another guy coming from AAA or coming off injury. From his perspective he probably feels he has been the odd man out too many times. Bumped from SS in favor of Hardy, bumped from 3rd in favor of Braun, bumped from the OF in favor of Cameron/Braun.
-
Another big difference from last year is that at the time they aquired CC, they were tied for the WC lead and 9 games over .500, plus it was about 3 weeks earlier, so CC was able to start about 4-5 more games than a pitcher aquired at the end of July would.
-
Even if what you say were true, who is it that is the equivalent of CC and would be able to be aquired this year, without harming their chances for 2010?
-
Unfortunately, I now do agree with this. It is time to start thinking about next year.
-
The only problem is we'll get a bag of balls in exchange.
-
Perhaps that would not have happened had they drafted and developed some pitchers, instead of apparently concentrating on DHs.
-
...and the back-to-back pummelings at home are coming from the worst team in baseball.
-
I did not hear what they said either, but I just read elsewhere that he has a left oblique strain, revealed by a MRI today. I'm guessing that is what they said on the broadcast. Thanks for letting me know.

I was on the cub game for a minute, what happened to Suppan?
-
Would it really matter much if they went Dillard then Villy, instead of the opposite? BTW, why all the pink text tonight?
-
31% of all injured pitchers had above average career PAP totals for their career pitch counts. 9% of all healthy pitchers had above average career PAP totals for their career pitch counts. Could this not also mean pitchers who suck don't get used as much and pitchers who don't pitch much, because they suck, do not get injured as often?

Melvin/Attanasio lessons learned from Suppan/Hall

This is very true, players are taking a big risk when they turn down a certain fortune in the hopes of an even bigger fortune later. Another example is Ben Sheets, back when he signed his contract and this was followed by multiple injuries. Not many of these guys are smart enough to realize that there is not much that $45 million, for example, can not buy, as Braun put it and that the big money is all just projections as Braun also said. -
Asserting things does not make them so. I could say "an extra 10-20 innings per year is very unlikely to, in and of itself, cause a significant problem". Besides, shouldn't it be the number of pitches? There is no known bright line here between a "safe" number of pitches and an "unsafe" number of pitches. Throwing over 100 pitches does not equal abuse. If limiting starters to 100 pitches is safer, all else being equal, than letting them go 120, then it is likely that limiting them to 80 would be safer than 100...so why not do that? How do you know that the risk is worth the reward if he goes 100 rather than 80, but that in the case of letting him go 120 rather than 100 the risk is not worth the reward?

$20 million per year was what they offered CC and he signed for, what, about $25 million per year? So money wise we are throwing away nearly enough for a CC Sabathia...not to say that signing him for 7 years would have been a good idea, just putting that $20 million in perspective. -
He should just be fired right now and send someone else out next inning.
-
Can we at least fire the idiot 3rd base coach (I'm assuming he sent Gerut).
-
It sure looked that way to me, but this team is so intense they just go "okay, whatever". Our announcer then says "Kendall never tagged him, but it doesn't matter".
