    What might have made it easier for the Rangers to deal Smoak was that Chris Davis seems to have re-discovered himself at AAA, and is absolutly dominating there. He had a great year in 2008.

    The Brewers don't need a 1B, we already have 1Bs playing 3B, 2B, LF and RF. The Brewers should be looking for pitchers and RFs.

    The Angels farm system has just 1 prospect, Mike Trout. They have no MLB ready pitching. They also need a 3B. They're just not that good anymore.

    Interesting question. I don't see any major flaws in our highly ranked guys we have right now. The only highly ranked prospect I don't really believe in Kentrail Davis.

    I hope they don't draw well. Doug Melvin was safe as long as the fans were accepting of the team. He's actually quite popular, as he continues to take credit for Jack Z's work, even though he didn't even hire Jack Z. When people start staying home, them Attanosio will take a hard look at how few GMs with such abysmal records keep their job this long. If people show up to support a loser, then we'll become the Cubs.

    I wonder if he and Gennett will get a cup of coffee with Brevard at some point this year? One would think so. Or Huntesville. I got to believe both of them will skip BC next year. If anything, that would help ease a logjam of OFs and 2Bs. Another big night for Cutter Dykstra too, on base 4 times, average up tp 308, and steals his 13th. Even though he seems to have stablized defensively at 3B, I would think 2B is his future.

    should be able to get a better pitcher than davis for lawrie Ya, it would have to be Hellickson. Or, the Brewers could just trade Lawrie to Seattle for Pineda. Both Lawrie and Pineda have taken major steps forward this year, Pineda is MLB ready right now.

    BaseballAmerica has also noted Minor's improved velocity since the Braves made some tweaks to his delivery right after him signing last year. He misses bats, which would be a change in direction from the guys Melvin usually adds. The Braves still need to add more to the deal, and they will.

    I agree. We'd then have a short term pitcher, but still haven't found anyone to go deep into games and save the bullpen, and we'd have a hole in RF. So what? Hart is gone anyway right? Gamel, Cain, Lawrie, etc could all possibly fill that hole long term, 1 OF spot is the least of our concerns. It's not creating another hole, it's trading up in value. Sanchez isn't a guy I'd be all that thrilled to acquire, but who care about trading any position player not name Braun? Sanchez does have plenty of talent, but he's not a long term solution, which is the only reason I'd be hesitant to acquire him. If we aren't winning with the players we have I don't understand the fascination with keeping them? We were below .500 last year, we're below .500 this year. We already unintentionally punted twice during what was supposed to be an extended run of success with this core. What we have and what we've done isn't working, time to try something else. What I'm advocating is making an intelligent move, not a move that solves nothing. If we had accepted the Sanchez trade, because it was time to try something new, we wouldn't be able to consider the Atlanta offer with Mike Minor. Plus, these are just the early offers, they get better as more teams get involved.

    I confused by this. Gerut isn't on the active roster, so what place is Cain taking when you call him up? Also, what kind of platoon are we setting up between Cain and Katin? They're both right handed batters. Anthony Witrado stating on the radio yesterday that Gerut was still in a boot. It would seem odd that he would fake an injury, considering the hell he went through to make it back after a horrific leg injury a few years ago. I wonder if this is yet another mis-diagnosed injury by the Brewers Kavorkian-esque medical team?

    SF uses Travis Ishikara at 1B much of the time. Needless to say, they'll be adding a 1B or OF before the deadline. Saying it pompously doesn't make it true. Ishikawa's career OPS is just barely under league average for the position, he's just 26, he's having his best season, he had big AAA numbers, and he's a top defender.
  13. Never Outhustled
    Gamel's problems from what posters have said and I saw of him last year seemed to be mostly his throwing. I think he would easily be able to field at 1B. I would leave him at 3B though since he will be around longer than McGehee and it isn't like McGehee is a good or even average defender. Agreed, I think Gamel is a better defender than McGehee.
  14. Never Outhustled
    Belt looks like an awesome hitter, but he's a 1st baseman. The Brewers already have five 1st basemen in their starting lineup. They need guys that can defend an actual position. Neal is OK, but Caleb Gindl is just as good at the same level, and is a year younger. I really don't think the Giants need to do anything. Pat Burrel has been a huge addition, Huff is good, Posey is finding his footing, and Sandoval is starting to wake up. If they add something, it should be a middle infielder.
  15. Never Outhustled
    If the Brewers really feel the need to sign another 30something FA, don't sign a pitcher, sign Jason werth, and trade Fielder and McGehee for pitching. The Phillies won't try to retain Werth because they have stud OF prospect Dominic Brown, who is having a monster season.
  16. Never Outhustled
    Yea our current infield defense is terrible, Braun is very below average in left, and Hart misplays balls all the time to go along with a very inaccurate arm. Gomez sure doesn't look like he'll ever hit well enough to play everyday in CF, whoever is the everyday guy in CF better be a quality defender if largely the same group of position players are brought back because i see no reason to believe that any of Fielder, Weeks, McGehee, Braun, or Hart will show significant defensive improvement next season. These 2 guys get it. This team needs a major overhaul, because it is wretched defensively. Any pitcher we acquire will underachieve here because of the defense played behind him. We have a RF who should play LF, a 3B who should play 1B, a LF, 2B and 1B who should be DHs, and a SS and CF who should be in AAA. I hold out hope that Braun, with his infield experience, could be a decent 1B. Then if we could add a good defensive RF, we could move Hart to LF, and our defense could improve to poor, up from pathetic.

    Its the minors, they're there to learn, and that includes basestealing. We had tons of complaints about Brett Lawrie's basestealing in the past too, and now he's become an efficient basestealer.
  18. Never Outhustled
    The Rays would also be sending prospects to Seattle. Milwaukee would be involved because the Rays don't have a power prospect like Lawrie, and Seattle covets offense.
  19. Never Outhustled
    I agree. They've almost completely cleaned out their system this year. It seems that there's very few contenders that have minor league talent to trade. Tampa and SD have talent, but can't afford to trade it.
  20. Never Outhustled
    I really like Daniel Hudson, I'd take him for McGehee straight up.
  21. Never Outhustled
    Count me in. Cruz has the same numbers as Escobar did last year when he was deamed "ready", but Cruz would only start versus LHP, with Counsel getting most of the starts. And no, MassHaas, its not out there, your idea is completely logical, great call.
  22. Never Outhustled
    Yes, this is extremely scary. Its really shortsighted to keep Yo active when a DL stint would only cost him a few days in the best case scenario. I'll be surprised if Yo makes another start in July.
  23. Never Outhustled
    I disagree with that. Putting him on the 40-man is a pretty clear indication that they're trying to shelter him from any further consequences. If they do continue to test him, it's probably just so they can find out before the league finds out. There not sheltering him from further consequences, just from a lifetime ban.
  24. Never Outhustled
    The return for Hart should be significant. Numerous teams have been interested in him even when he was struggling, and just about every team contending has room for another power hitting OF. He isn't a rental. Those things combined means there should be a bidding war for Corey Hart. Hopefully, instead of Melvin picking the pitchers we receive, he instead consults Rick Peterson. We need guys that miss bats, not the sinkerballers Melvin prefers.
  25. Never Outhustled
    Hardy plays outstanding defense. No one on this team plays any defense at all.
