    Also, wouldn't the fact that Milwaukee got behind him full force to get him to start the AS Game (which I know was quite the HURDLE, but we overcame) factor in?

    To speak nothing of his defense! He was flanked by THE WORST 3B of the last 100 years, and a 1B who was once tried as a 3B to Braun-line results there. How was their defense last year? Thank you, Mike. As for Billy...you live by the deal, I guess we'll die by it, too.

    The Seattle Incident was collusion between their previous owner (The Earl of Starbux) and their new owner (Slick Clay) to move the team during its sale. I can't imagine SENATOR Herb Kohl moving our of our most prosperous city's team to....Vegas. I could see Chicago getting a second team, but it would be but a slight move if anything. As for Redd, this reminds me of the Allan Houston/'Fernee Hardaway incidents. Two TOP players (Penny more than NYC) cut down in their prime and sapped of their powers. And nobody needs a reminder of what those contracts did to those respective (wealthy) franchises.

    And when he attempts to press it this year because of MIL's fans' incessant boos, and then must have surgery missing all of '09 and most of '10, and then has 120IP of 4.50 ball in '11, we're on the hook for $26M for that. Then again, when he puts up Harden (CHC) numbers over those three years for $32M, and then knowing we have him for another 3 years at $45M.... Again, it's a good thing I don't have to make such decisions. But arm injury...Ben Sheets....big contract. What are the scariest mix of words in any Brewerfan's lexicon. Instead: Aardsma, David Aaron, Henry ...........

    Who amongst us would the Lo Cain jersey fit? There's nary an Alcides Escobar to be seen.

    Actually, if they REALLY want to tank, I'd trade: RJ CV Ridnour Bell for Marion's expiring deal Haslem #1 pick (probably late) You know Marion is going to be taking EVERY shot, as his big qualm about Miami is how he doesn't get to pad his stat sheet. Looking toward next year, we would have cash, an undersized 4 who would probably fit Skiles' system well, and a pick for Hammond to work some "late draft" magic with.

    Tank job '09 begins. What's the over/under until we see a starting lineup of: Sessions Prince Chucky V (good to showcase the trade bait, and with this lineup, you know he's shooting) Alexander Danny Gadz ....because Bogut's back will "force" him to be shutdown for the year around the AS break and RJ should be traded now to the Lakers for Odom to free up some cash for next year.

    Based strictly on upside, we have to have a top-5 system, at least 1-5 in our system. Escobar....could be the next Reyes. Salome...could be the next Pudge. Jeffress....could be the next Doc Gooden (in a Gooden way) Gamel....the next Wade Boggs. Lawrie....look up.

    A lot of times, prognosticators put the young guys on the list just so they can always say, "....but they're still young enough to turn it around." That's why Jason Bay wasn't given his full credit. He put up great numbers...but he wasn't dominating a league where he was the youngest player, or "holding his own in the deep end" as my cronies and I call it. Also, John Sickels recently did a three-part writeup on the flameout rate of TOP prospect catching.

    Also, I would assume they could use a shortstop with some offense. Jason Bartlett was their MVP in much the same way Adam Everett was the Twins' MVP. And considering the stagnation of their shortstops on the farm, I wouldn't put it past them to have interest in Hall.
  14. ILuvDaBush
    This argument doesn't hold much weight, as Jason Varitek didn't accept arbitration either. And considering Ben's only familiarity with any team is ours, I would guess it would take less....or equal for him to stay here. The only argument I could see making about why he doesn't want to come back is the treatment of high-paid players by the average fan. As for Hall, I wouldn't give him away. And the more I think about it, I would assume the Mariners would be a better trade target. And also, if we're trying to free up money for Garland, might I suggest upgrading third base AND first base defensively, as we would only be having a repeat performance of the Soup Nazi?

    Ewing Theory.... We're winning it all now this year.

    Lamb/CC/McGehee can hold the fort until mid-May when Gamel comes up.
  17. ILuvDaBush
    Keep Prince happy and Prince will keep the org. happy.
  18. ILuvDaBush
    Probably a lot for all the reasons you just mentioned. He hits well enough to start. He doesn't make bank. Good peripherals. Asking price? Probably Lucroy+.

    My ideal: R RBI HR SB OBP OPS ERA W S HLD K/9 K/BB

    As an aside about the payroll, after we traded for CC and were discussing the draft ramifications, there was a lot of chatter about the amount of money it would take to sign next year's draft picks. But with the utter decline of our picks (from CC now only netting us a 2, to Shouse maybe simply retiring), does that impact how much we'll spend? It was opined that our draft next year could cost us $7-9M, and even though we could simply still pay the rate of what our pick WOULD have been and take a guy who slides because of signability, we haven't really ruffled MLB's slotting feathers. Back to Dunn, he would be a significant upgrade offensively, but a serious declien defensively, unless you also move Prince off of first (which would seem to be a lateral move both ways). To be honest, the more I think about it, the more I think our outfield, the way it's currently constructed, is the least of our worries. Defensively, it's probably our best unit. And offensively, it houses 3 of the 5 best bats on the team. Bringing in Dunn won't do anything more than shake up a solid unit. That said, if we got Dunn, I don't see HOW a team is going to pitch to us. Five man rotation between: 1B (Fielder-Dunn) CF (Cameron-Hart) LF (Braun-Dunn) RF (Hart-Dunn) Injuries and fatigue are bound to set in. With that rotation (though Dunn-RF is something I don't think I would embrace with open arms), offensive worries are a thing of the past. And with no Yost, there would be no calls for "hitting his way out of a slump."

    What about Butler and Chandler for Redd? Chandler has been having an off year, but would more than solidify Skiles' defense, and we could slide him in as our four.
  22. ILuvDaBush
    So basically, if he wants to make money, he's either going to sign for a non-contender or play 1B....or get Mack Brown on the phone. His players always make bank.
  23. ILuvDaBush
    Bucks down 8-18 because of the lack of size underneath. Greg Oden has an early foul but LaMarcus Aldridge is just toying with Charlie V, saying, anything you can do, I can do better. Glad I stayed up late.
  24. ILuvDaBush
    Josh Wahpepah demands only natives be allowed on the American team. But seriously, I think it's great that we have so many players on rosters (despite the paper-thin reasoning behind some of the "European" inclusions-Rottino should have a better case playing for the Danish because Denmark is in Wisconsin or the Belgians because Brussels is as well). As for Yo...disregard that it's an honor and just say NO. We need your arm and bat to be at their most potent.

    That's okay. Joe can still get ROY....as in he can posterize Brandon Roy. :-)
