    I agree Al. He has 9 total minutes in games where they've won by an average of over 40 points. He's not going to getting playing time once they get in to the Big Ten season...and even their non conference schedule is as tough as it's ever been.

    No, I don't think Jarmusz not redshirting will hurt the program at all. I was speaking from HIS benefit. He'll probably never be a factor in my opinion. But this year's team is hella good. I don't care what anyone says...better than last year.
  3. Roscoe Chill
    But if you consider Joe Krabbenhoft as a guard, or at least going to get a lot of minutes at guard, there isn't going to be any time left for Jarmusz this year. He should have redshirted.

    I love this quote from that article: "You're looking at, potentially two Big Ten All-Defensive Team players with those two guards. The problem is you get by those guards and you run into 6-11, 6-11, 6-11, 6-11, 6-11, 6-11, 6-11 and 6-11." IPFW coach Dane Fife on Michael Flowers, Trevon Hughes and the Badgers' defense.
  5. Roscoe Chill
    Depth at guard? Krabbenhoft, Flowers, Hughes, Bohannon.
  6. Roscoe Chill
    I think the Badgers will be underestimated big time. Yes, they lost Alando Tucker, but I doubt guys like Joe Krabbenhoft and Marcus Landry didn't ever expect to have their roles increased when they came to Wisconsin. Are they deep? Yes. Do they have size? Yes. Do they have good guards? Yes. I think they'll be a Big 10 contender...again.

    Come on. No one is being an elitist. He's just calling out the SUPERSTAR from Team A for one decent piece on the Brewers and five players that are no longer wanted trade proposals. Quantity does not equal quality. The title of this thread says it all. And obviously some posters need to think about this. It's a reasonable request.

    I'll have to agree with Mass. Before the internet existed, The Trade Rumors section on a website like this would have been my favorite thing in the world (Ok, I'm exaggerating a bit, but you get my drift). But I rarely even come here, even during the busy off season time we're entering because, quite frankly, most of the stuff on this thread is so far fetched it's not worth the read. I love hearing what other people see/hear in all media forms that not all of us catch, and that's what this forum should be about. Most rumors don't come true as it is, but if they're at least brought up by someone in the media, it's something fun to discuss at least. Some of the imaginary video game-esque trades that are proposed here just will never happen.

    I bought a 2007 Honda Civic a few months ago. And I just got 30 mpg the last time I filled up virtually all city driving. I'm 6'0" 215 pounds, so not as big as you, but I'm not a smurf either. It's really a lot bigger than it even looks from the outside. Plenty of trunk space. So far, I'm very pleased with it.

    Sign me up for Vargas/Capuano for Laird and Benoit.
  11. Roscoe Chill
    I heard on the radio today that Torre is not ready to retire. So....let the speculation begin!
  12. Roscoe Chill
    It was fantastic, especially in Sept. Capuano-2.81 ERA I keep seeing this stat flashed around in support of Capuano, the reality is, though that he only made two starts in September. The rest of his innings from the month were out of the bullpen.
  13. Roscoe Chill
    First of all, 150 and 140 innings isn't 1/3 of the time. It's about 2/3rds of the time. Very big difference. Go back and read what I wrote, and then what you wrote.
  14. Roscoe Chill
    Al, the Brewers starting pitching was terrible the second half of the season. Yes, the Diamondbacks ran Livan Hernandez out there and they are going to the NLCS. They had Michah Owings ready for Game 4, who is probably better, but they made a decision probably based on experience. If the Brewers offense is so good, and these other teams that are in the playoffs have such bad pitching, than how in tarnation did the Brewers not make the playoffs?
  15. Roscoe Chill
    Endaround, what are some realistic changes you WOULD agree with? Eight quality starting pitchers? Not last year they didn't have eight quality starting pitchers.
  16. Roscoe Chill
    If I can't watch the Brewers in the playoffs, I'd much rather watch the New York Mets over the San Diego Padres.
  17. Roscoe Chill
    I'm sorry, but I just don't take Mark Attanasio's vote of confidence in Ned Yost seriously. You're meaning to tell me after the collapse, and then not even finishing with a winning record is a good season because they were playing meaningful baseball games in September ONLY because of a terrible division?
  18. Roscoe Chill
    I liked the stipper/nurse that knew Michael by name. That was the stripper from Bob Vance's bachelor party.
  19. Roscoe Chill
    I totally understand that response to the Sexson example. And I agree to a point. However, what about what the A's (the franchise so many on here want the Brewers to model themselves after) and what they did with both Mark Mulder and Tim Hudson?
  20. Roscoe Chill
    I think people are underestimating the value of starting pitching, even one with some injury issues. The Brewers gave up a 22 year old who dominated AAA to get Vargas. Yes Eveland has work ethic issues, but he has a huge amount of talent and the Brewes sent that off for a guy who may give you 6 innings every 5th day and a 5.50 ERA if you're lucky. Of course they also gave up a better Major League starting pitcher in the same deal, so...
  21. Roscoe Chill
    Offer to tear up his contract for next year and try to sign him for 3 years at $15 M/yr. So, you're saying give him a two year extension at $17 million per season. If he'd take it great, I guess, as my reasoning for trading him has just as much to do with the fact that I don't see him pitching in Milwaukee beyond 2008 anyway, as it does his injury issues. I guess I don't understand why it's OK to trade Sexson under the same scenario, but trade Sheets? No way! Sure the clubs are at different places in the grand scheme of things from back then to now, but having Sheets break down in "our year" in 2008 and another finish around .500, and they're all of a sudden heading down 'Rebuild Lane' again...I'm suggesting going down 'Reload Lane' It might be thinking outside the box trading their best pitcher, but the A's were worshipped around these parts for what they did with Tim Hudson and Mark Mulder...I guess I don't see much of a difference, other than the fact Sheets hasn't been available to pitch 1/3 of the time, which should make the situation even more acceptable in my opinion.
  22. Roscoe Chill
    After doing a little more research on the salary outlook for next year, I'm thinking the Brewers will make resigning Cordero a priority, whether or not spending that amount of money on a closer is the smartest thing to do, I just don't see the salary issues the Brewers have had in the past...especially if you let some other guys walk (Chris Capuano?).
  23. Roscoe Chill
    I didn't say trade Sheets for three relievers. I said for three arms. The example I brought up with Mike Pelfrey (again, not sure if it's realistic) would mean a top notch starting pitching prospect along with a couple more arms, which could be relievers for life...or relievers to work in a la Villanueva. EDIT: To put in to terms to make myself more clear, how about using the Brewers organization as an example: Carlos Villanueva, Manny Parra, and Zach Jackson types. Three arms like that.
  24. Roscoe Chill
    I guess I'm not being clear on what I am suggesting regarding Sheets. To me, the Brewers need arms...plural. Especially when you take in to consideration that Cordero is probably gone. Linebrink is probably gone. Turnbow is bascially not good, Wise seems useless, etc. There are people on this site that could come up with specific names a lot better than I could. But say, the Brewers trade Sheets to the Mets for Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber, and [fill in the blank]. Again, I have no idea if that is a realistic offer or not. But if it were, and it could be done, or something similar could be done, maybe even with another team, then you have a starter to replace Sheets in the rotation, obviously not as good as Sheets right now, but who knows what body part Sheets will injure next? And you also get two arms to throw in the bullpen mix. Again, I don't want to turn this in to a trade Sheets thread, I'm just giving an example of how the bullpen could be improved through a trade of a piece of the team that has value...of course if they keep Sheets, and he gets hurt in the middle of the year again, he has no value...and he's not really worth resigning. Just something to think about.
  25. Roscoe Chill
    I guess it creates a hole if Sheets would be able to pitch an entire year. And I'm assuming Sheets' last year in Milwaukee will be next year as well. Trading him in the middle of the season when the team is (hopefully) in contention for a playoff spot wouldn't be possible. Having him break down again when the team is (hopefully) in contention for a playoff spot would be tough to swallow. Getting value and moving on would be the most beneficial for the team. And I think the Brewers are at the point where guys that are in the Majors already or close is better than getting draft pick compensation.
