  1. http://winace.courageunfettered.com/pics/broken_record.jpg
  2. Cardinals have had a top 5-10 farm system since 2011 (per Baseball Prospectus). They've been a developmental monster for awhile now.
  3. True but I don't think anyone seriously considered them "contenders". Everything had to play out perfectly for last year to end up in a playoff berth. And beyond 2015 there were serious question marks given the status of the farm system.
  4. That seems like a strange reason to decide on a player.
  5. So you like the White Sox model? They sign and/or trade for pricey free agents or trade prospects for established vets all the time. Hasn't really done much good since '05.
  6. This year is the worst of it in terms of signing middling vets to fill gaps just to field a team. I think next year you start to see the long term prospects come up and then the year after that they start to take off. 2018 is a good projection for a competitive team but 2019 is more likely. Kind a funny that one year ago today the Brewers had pretty much no hope of a competitive team for the foreseeable future.
  7. Gotta figure Gennett's days are numbered for no other reason than he just doesn't fit what Stearns wants in a player - flexibility. He is the opposite of that. He can really only play 2B against righties.
  8. I really don't think people understand what a minor league deal is.
  9. Probably. A domed AAA team would be very desirable for any major league team.
  10. I'm looking forward to progression from the young guys and to see what kind of haul we get via trades.
  11. That roster is going to beat the 2019 Cubs who'll have Rizzo, Bryant, Schwarber, Heyward, Russell all still in their primes and no doubt some major arms they'll simply buy on the open market? Dream on! Those guys can't pitch.
  12. The H is O!
  13. Huh? 25-million Dollars? Are we in some sort of Bizarro-world? Please explain further... Poster is referring to Chris Davis who recently re-signed with the Orioles.

  15. "There is no link between the controversy and the channel's closure, however. The investigative unit that produced the doping documentary will remain in operation."
  16. Your 1982 Milwaukee Brewers! Says this guy: http://espn.go.com/blog/sweetspot/post/_/id/67630/the-best-infield-of-all-time-the-answer-may-surprise-you
  17. Wait, you mean Jay Bilas took a story and blew it out of proportion without actually researching the issue? You don't say!
  18. I think the big reason kids quit sports is because they're forced to play them from age 4 onward. Everyone needs a uniform and a referee nowadays.
  19. I have no idea how they are going to manage this "rule". Kids will just come up with some other term...are they going to ban that new term too?
  20. Even if "airball" is banned kids will just come up with some other term for it.
  21. Warning before this gets out of hand that political talk is verboten on this site. Thanks.
  22. I had no idea he had cancer either.
  23. Wonder what the issue was? Just that bad of luck or he just wasn't squaring up on anything at all. That is a terrible babip more ground balls, fewer line drives
  24. Steamer is a little more optimistic predicting a .777 OPS (223/318/458) His BABIP was pretty bad last year (244) so I would imagine his average would be a bit better at the very least.
