    I'm down. I love him as a player. One thing with him, aside from his inability to hit LHP is that he's had a tough time playing the field and staying healthy at the same time.

    The thing is, we need to find more veteran losers. People who had 1000+ posts at now defunct Brewers forums of the past. That know how to lose, and can impart that losing knowledge on the rest of us. Yeah, we have some vets here, but we need a few more to put us over the top. Sure, we don't have as much of a losing attitude as we need - and part of that problem may be management. They keep around people who don't have the right losing attitude, and don't seem to show the heart it takes.

    Testify, brother! IBTL

    How can LaRussa let Rogers get away with loading up the ball? You'd think someone in the clubhouse would relay to him that Rogers has pine tar on his hand so LaRussa could tell the umpire and get him tossed.

    I'm listening to the new Willie Nelson album "Songbird" that comes out on 10/31 right now. Excellent. Produced by Ryan Adams, a mix of some covers and some new stuff. I'm really liking the cover of Garcia's "Stella Blue".
  6. brettac1
    Wow. I did not realize they signed him to that kind of a contract.

    I love Heilman. I think he can be a relief ace, or a really good starter. The Mets won't get rid of him, he's just too good.

    I really can't stand the type-casting that goes with being a leadoff hitter. In order to be one, you apparently have to be a skinny, fast, CF. You don't even have to get on base. Kevin Youkilis is a fat slow guy, and he hit leadoff, and scored more runs (100 to 87) than Juan Pierre. Because he gets on base (91 BB to 32).

    Honestly, I think Hudson is cooked. He's had a big workload on that little frame for a long time.
  10. brettac1
    No thanks. Honestly, I think the low K thing is PR by Melvin, anyway. If he really felt that way, he wouldn't have been fine with leading off Weeks, having Branyan on his team for a year and a half, playing Hall all the time, Jenkins all the time, having no problem with Fielder playing right away, etc. Hall/Weeks/Fielder is the foundation, and they're always going to be high K hitters, so the team is always going to be high in K's, like Sexson/Jenkins/Burnitz was.

    King is a useless fat tub of goo. Yeah, pretty much. They should be able to find a LOOGY on the scrap heap that costs much less.

    I had him listed in mine - Young, Baldelli, and Dukes (eventually) is what I have as their OF.
  13. brettac1
    He is the D-Rays future.
  14. brettac1
    They have Elijah Dukes, too. I think they might figure that they have a piece that is kind of redundant in Crawford, who can fetch legit good pitchers or other position players in return. They can go with an OF of Young, Baldelli, and Dukes (eventually) and the DH spot can be filled very easily, and probably cheaper. And Carl Crawford isn't Rickey Henderson because he doesn't walk. Henderson was like a .900 OPS guy a few times. EDIT: I'll also add that Dukes is considered a major, major character risk with problems, but he's an amazing player waiting to happen. Kind of like Milton Bradley without the switch-hitting.

    You know, Mench could be the kind of guy they are looking for. The Twins supposedly always had interest in him (presumably because of his low K's), and it seems like that's definitely the kind of team Krivsky is attempting to mold (trying to trade for a good bullpen, cutting down on K's, etc.). It'd be awesome if they could dump Mench and get Dunn. I'd do Mench, Jackson, Gwynn, and maybe another low-level pitching prospect with moderate upside.
  16. brettac1
    Yeah, I'd be almost positive that it becomes guaranteed. This would make it a two year deal - or 1.5 if the Brewers decide to trade him in mid-2008. Basically the same situation as Lee was. I don't think I'd extend him past that, though, either. He's got the classic "old player skills" - walks and HR - that don't tend to age the greatest. I'd love to have him for two seasons, though.
  17. brettac1
    Adam Dunn will be Wayne Krivsky's David Ortiz move if he trades him. I'd do it in less than a second for that package that pogo proposed.

    I'm just glad the Tigers won it the right way: with a three run bomb. No stolen bases, no bunts, just bombs, pitching, and defense. Hat's off. Nothing cheap, nothing controversial. The A's, as fas as I'm concerned, weren't very good, and they didn't play very good. You need offense to win in October, and they don't have any.

    Macha's insistence to not use Kielty, like ever, against a LHP is baffling. Scutaro is hitting like Scutaro normally hits, yet he leaves him in there against a LHP with Kielty on the bench.
  20. brettac1
    Don't count on it. They can't score runs.
  21. brettac1
    Jimenez is a disaster.
  22. brettac1
    Rogers is abusing the A's. This series is o-v-e-r. In reality, it was probably over after Zito imploded in game one. The A's just have no offense, and Macha's insistence on playing Kotsay and Chavez against lefties is stupid. Kotsay especially - Kielty owns LHP's and yet he sits, even though all three normal starting OF's can play CF. Obviously, the Tigers pitching plays a part in them having no offense, but they didn't have any during the regular season, either.

    Another really good Lou Reed album, "Coney Island Baby" just got re-released, too. It's not my favorite of his albums, but it's very good. I mean, it's Lou Reed. Another couple that I got - the Cold War Kids "Robbers & Cowards", and The Rapture's "Pieces of the People We Love". Anyone get the Sean Lennon album? Seems like an amazing backstory surrounding it, but I'm leery.
  24. brettac1
    David Bush who? Matt Bush. He sucks. I'm getting the feeling that that's DePodesta's job, that or Sandy just does it himself. The A's are finished, and that sucks even worse than Matt Bush.

    I heart Milton Bradley.
