    viewtopic.php?f=64&t=14908 While there were fans of both I would still say most here would have rather had Brantley than Green. I do agree with homer's comments though when he said "I'm just glad it wasn't Lucroy."
  2. Outlander
    No, most were hoping they would choose Green.
  3. Outlander
    I'm glad that BA can differentiate between rookie status and prospect status. Still surprised Wang is #6 though.
  4. Outlander
    Who's upset? There are questions regarding how the 40 man was constructed but nobody really cares that this guy was picked up.
  5. Outlander
    There sure seems to be a lot of junk on the Brewers 40 man. I guess they can afford to do it when they have so few prospects they need to add to the 40 man. Also like to add I hope the Jimenez platoon experiment ends before it ever begins.

    I didn't listen to the show but I do agree that as a business it is a concern that it may be difficult to generate excitement from the public if the team is generally viewed as the same. It can be difficult balancing running a team to win for the short and long term and also attracting fans. This can be a poor season attendance wise and I imagine Mark A is well aware of that so a move by him is not out of the question.

    I would tend to agree with everything here. If the Brewers really liked Martin they could have just claimed him since they have a open 40 man spot and quite frankly there is some filler on the 40 man right now. Long is just a AAA depth guy and like you said I would have rather sent Zarraga in a package deal for better talent.

    If the Brewers were able to trade away Parra for a decent asset and then sign Aoki for less than what Parra will be paid then picking up Aoki would be fine. A one year deal would be optimal for Aoki as I think his skills are declining and his defense is already suspect.

    Very encouraging the way a couple of our prospects are playing in Lopez and Arcia. I imagine Segura will be feeling the pressure this upcoming season. Not so encouraging the way Jimenez is playing and the 3B situation if/when Ramirez goes down.

    Petersen appears to be another Logan Schafer. Definitely doesn't hurt to have another guy that can play CF if there is an emergency situation at the big league level.

    This is kind of lame, he was an owner and brought back baseball to Milwaukee but that is a pretty boring experience when going to the ballpark. The hardcore fans might find it interesting once but there is no replay value and the fans that don't want to watch the game probably won't find it interesting. Having an rotating Aaron/Yount/Molitor/Mathews experience could be interesting but not this. I have had enough of all of this Selig stuff lately, all it does is bring back bad memories of bad teams that wouldn't spend money on players. Retire and go away.

    He has been in the minors since he was 18 but last year was the first year he was ever relatively healthy two years in a row. I think if he stays healthy he is a decent backup option. I LOL at people that say he can't be a backup, they don't seem to realize that if a shortstop could defend well and hit well on a consistent basis they would already be a major league starter.
  13. Outlander
    I wish those types of people would get tickets, all they do is cause road rage and bigger backups

    It is live at mlb.com

    He is gone, picked third.

    It is going to be very difficult to change how people drive. For all my life I have heard people complain about the drivers that merge at the last second so there are plenty out there who think they are a bad driver if they wait to merge. Having local ads during the Packers game would be a good idea.
  17. Outlander
    I was the only person here that listed him as a top 25 Brewers prospect at the end of the year. With that said his 2013 does raise question marks as he was real bad at the plate. Finding a backup quality shortstop is hard though and I hope the Brewers give him a shot as he would be cheap for a number of years and could potentially be the right handed bat for Scooter as well.
  18. Outlander
    They are all on the 40 man except for Pena and he is hurt so there really isn't an issue to bring them up if they really deserve it. None of them have shown they deserve to be in the majors so Kintzler gets another year which doesn't seem like a big deal to me. I believe Kintzler has an option left as well so if he stinks up the joint he can be sent down and one of the others can be brought up. Nothing to see here.
  19. Outlander
    Not really much of a question anymore, they will be a playoff team.
  20. Outlander
    Not the best option but they stuck with Overbay all of last year so wouldn't surprise me.
  21. Outlander
    The upcoming schedule is not reality though, they don't play in the West against a bunch of good teams on a consistent basis. They play in the east and consistently play a bunch of bad teams.

    Yes you would need to report this as rental income. Your insurance should cover but you would really need to know what kind of coverage you have or talk to your agent. Also need to consider if you have coverage or enough coverage if your renter gets hurt or something happens to a guest. I listed my place on craigslist and the first person that looked at it was great and has lived there about three years so no horror stories from me yet. Probably need luck on your side, can't really profile as it may lead to a potential lawsuit against you. Can have general requirements like no pets or smoking but once you start asking about gender, race, marital status, age, children you are opening yourself up to discrimination.

    I could see them picking up Featherston since he plays shortstop as well. Kind of odd that he was brutal against lefties in 2011 and 2012 and then was real good against them in 2013 and 2014. FYI it is Featherston and not Featherstone.
  24. Outlander
    Maybe one guy the Brewers can target is Stetson Allie from the Pirates. The Brewers need a right handed platoon at first and he did hit 270/394/473 last year against lefties at AA. He turns 24 in March but seems to have some upside because he was originally a pitcher in the organization so only has a couple of years as an everyday player. Might not stick but could compete with Jimenez and Rogers for a bench spot and the Brewers could potentially hit big with their future first baseman.
  25. Outlander
    I think it was during the 2011 playoff run where the Brewers would constantly play This Town by OAR with highlights from the season.
