    I agree that Neugy and Reyes are bad comparisons because Reyes still has the stuff that earned him top prospect status. He throws bigtime heat, with a ton of movement, and has a quality breaking ball. A better comp might be Edwin Jackson or Ervin Santana. The reason to aquire him is he could turn out to be the next Jason Schmidt, who wasn't an instant hit.

    This is all true, but I'm not sure we can just expect .500 ball the rest of the way. Since going 24-10, they've gone 33-39. Thats .4583, and would give them 82-83 wins on the seaon, which would not be tollerable.

    His ERA is 4.30 and he has been abysmal at trying to strand inherited runners. His teamsmates have bailed him out of his messes numerous times. Simply, he hasn't been nearly as good as his 4.30 ERA, and you try to replace guys with a 4.30 ERA, especially when they had a 6.87 ERA the year before.

    I agree. Yost can only use the players he has. Its Doug Melvin that continues with the dillusion that Turnbow is a good player. he has had numerous oppurtunities to move this rumy, but continues this fantasy that he is good. Hopefully he dumps him before another complete collapse from him.

    They also gave away Chad Gaudin and Joe Kennedy for next to nothing. I'd love to have those guys too. bad management is a Tampa staple, don't give them too much credit for anything.

    Edit: disregard my earlier post, thats what I get from believing something i hear on WFAN.

    Sure, maybe the Brewers do score too high a percentage of their runs via the homer, but the solution isn't less homers, its more 2 run homers!

    Jeffress loses control in the 5th. I blame Kevbo the Jinxer. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif Oh well, striking out 10 through the 1st 4 is still big time dominant.

    McClung entered spring training this year competing for the closer job, but showed up overweight and was sent to AAA. Dumb move, he is lucky to be getting a 2nd chance. Lets hope he makes the most of it.
  10. Never Outhustled
    I think he had Tommy John Surgury in 2004. He is a hard thrower, and I think he was there opening day starter once. He is a guy with a chance. Change of scenary was probably a good idea for him.

    Holy Calix Crabbe. 3-3, with 2 homers. Stars up 3-1. Calix will play MLB.

    Max Ramirez is the prospect the Indians settled for after the Brewers turned down the Wickman deal last year. He is a pretty decent catching prospect, but he just keeps being in the wrong organization at the wrong time. Not too many organizations deeper at catcher than Atlanta and Cleveland.

    So before Balfour was called up there were numerous prominent posters that thought Balfour was as good as any reliever we could aquire. Has his status really changed that much after 3 games? There are alot of teams desperate for relief help right now. It won't be an organizational soldier, it will be someone with a chance to make it. Balfour absolutly rocked AAA., throws up to 94.

    Right on brother. To the people who think a dollar is worth the same today as it is worth next year, can i borrow a dollar?
  15. Never Outhustled
    Its difficult to compare Lou to Salome and Lucroy because Lou is MLB ready defensively, well the other 2 have a long ways to go in that department, and they might not ever get to tollerable. I doubt the Brewers would bring up a catcher who wasn't ready defensively like they have at other positions. Its really a different animal.

    I think what Jackalope is saying is this trade brings us money, not players. With the team we presently have, we don't need a new roster, we need to keep our roster together. The financial windfall of making the playoffs helps that happen. The backlash of doing nothing and missing the playoffs in also enormous.
  17. Never Outhustled
    Its no factor at all. The team could just eat some salary to make him more attractive, and that would be the same as frontloading it.
  18. Never Outhustled
    Well said logan. Also the Brewers have a terrific pitching prospect with a much higher ceiling than Inman in Jeremy Jeffress, who could climb the ladder as fast as Gallardo did and Inman was doing.
  19. Never Outhustled
    Stats are very important for pitching prospects, but so is stuff. Dana Eveland had excellent minor league stats, and did it as a player who was very young for each level he was at, with outstanding K totals. He is not a very good MLB pitcher though. Inman is better prospect than Eveland, but there are some similarities.
  20. Never Outhustled
    Vargas might very well be better than Doug Davis, and as much as I dislike Estrada, he is better than Dana Eveland. True, but not getting into the playoffs would cost us far more than a single players salary in setting next year budget. Teams that make the playoffs see a major financial windfall from it. Just look at this trade as a means to raise the money to keep as much of our talent as possible. what would you rather have, a couple of prospects, or a budget $10 million bigger?
  21. Never Outhustled
    I agree with all this, but would like to add that Gallardo also has a much better changeup, and his slider translates a little better to the Majors than Inmans curve. Basically, Inman was a pretty nice prospect, with similar stuff and demeanor to Dave Bush, though he is farther along with his development than pitchers normally are at his age. He'll debut in MLB at a young age, but that doesn't raise his ceiling. He's a better prospect than Steve Woodard, but Woodard is an example of a guy earning a spot in MLB at a very young age, despite a limited ceiling.
  22. Never Outhustled
    Can I ask how horrible you'd rank it? Is it as horrible as you thought drafting Ryan Braun was? Give Doug melvin at least the slightest benefit of doubt. Maybe Will Inman is quite as good as you think he is, or maybe he is great, but then why can't we replace him with draft picks higher than where Inman, Yo Gallardo, and JJ Hardy were drafted?
  23. Never Outhustled
    Thats often the cliche, but not factually true. The Brewers were within striking distance (less than 5 games)of the wildcard for most of 2005, when Jenkins had the 2nd highest OPS in the NL after the break.
  24. Never Outhustled
    I think the people that don't like this deal are being really shortsighted. Making the playoffs is a financial windfall for teams. It could mean the difference of $10 to 15 million in next years budget. Throw in 2 comp picks that will be higher than where Inman was drafted, and its a win-win deal.
  25. Never Outhustled
    The Brewers have a LF who has a 933 OPS after the break the last 3 years. I think they'll stick with him.
