Bichette for Reimer...epic fail, even if it was high altitude and roids. We should have gotten more for Shef, but he was such a cancer I'm not sure that trade was out there. I will forever hate that guy. The El Caballo trade doesn't irk me that much since we weren't going to re-sign him anyway. Coco was pretty good when he was here. I'm glad we missed out on re-signing Coco...although by the end of his 4 years it will be interesting to add up how much we've spent on one year deals for closers and how that stacks up versus 4 years of Coco. Gagne - uggh, Hoffman - good. I didn't like the Gross deal either since we needed a LH bat and he was ok in the field, but he's hardly irreplaceable.

Braun a good/bad fielder
SoCal Brew Crew Fan replied to strawbossisevil's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Braun still has a ways to go in LF, but he does have all the physical tools to be a good one. Braun will get better...Soriano will only get worse. At best you could say they are a wash right now, but I would take Braun. Last night epitomized his play...great diving catch, great range coming on the ball in center (Soriano wouldn't get close to either of those) and a misplayed ball when JJ came back. He should have made that play. -
Why does McGehee get the call?
SoCal Brew Crew Fan replied to Hate those Rodents's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I think Gamel is up to stay and will get a good shot of sticking at least as part of a platoon at 3B with the DH in interleague. I think we have to be careful on a couple things. 1) Gamel is unlikely to repeat Braun's stats of 2007. Considering it was one of the top two offensive years by a rookie in the last 30 years along with Pujols...I'm not sure who will. I agree with those who've targeted a mid-800 OPS. That's well below Braun, but still very productive. Let's just manage our expectations and not get on Mat when he goes 0-4 with 3 K's. 2) Fielding is important, especially for our pitching. Our pitching wore down badly in 2007. Some blame could go to Yost's management, but some goes to our horrible defense. The Brewers are now an above average defensive team. Even if errors don't turn into runs, they do turn into extra pitches. Look at last night...those errors took an inning of work away from Looper and put it on our bullpen. If Gamel is going to be Braun at 3B circa 2007, that will not be good news for our pitchers. I do think they should give Mat a shot at 3B with Hall in a modified platoon...with Hall and Counsell also at 2B. Give him a shot, but we'll really have to watch his D. Hall has been very solid at 3B, even if he can't hit righties. -
Anyone else noted there was no cheer in St. Louis for Kendall's 2000th hit. Remember last year when Randy Johnson got a big strikeout (I think it moved him into 2nd place?) at Miller Park...he got a nice ovation from the crowd. Kendall...nothing. I thought these were baseball's most knowledgeable and classy fans?

Untuck'em

Now Carlos Corporan remains our only 1.000 hitter.
-
Hall is fourth in the league in avg vs. Lefties. Gamel is making his first major league start. Maybe in a month I will agree with you guys, but for tonight I think it was the right call.
-
Not a great at-bat, but Hall has been mashing lefties so I like the move. He does seem to have cooled off since that hammy pull in Cincy. Hopefully he picks it up with a bunch of lefties on the schedule this week. We're going to need Billy with Rickie out.
-
Yep...good call. I like Hall for defense too. Great game Mat.
-
Do you hit Hall for Gamel?
-
Fielder...downright Bondsian with the walks...sans roids.
-
nice sig nick...you can never go wrong with a classic!
-
LOOGY-riffic!!!
-
Just walk him and bring in Stetter
-
Terrified
-
Braun covering for Cameron??? My eyes deceive me.
-
Maybe they should all watch it together on their way down to Houston.
-
Looper with a few words for Macha there...interesting.
-
C'mon...5-4-3 here.
-
Think Looper wants a shutout bad?
-
The world's greatest fans are getting restless.
-
Note to Mrs. Gamel...head up to Milwaukee after this series and buy a home. You guys are going to be here for quite some time.
-
I agree Schlitz. Soriano does have a decent arm, but he's lost so much of his legs that Braun can cover more ground. They are probably intersecting about now...with Braun on the way up and Soriano declining.
-
On DirecTV I'm watching on 669-1 in HD. It was not on the guide until gametime.
-
I don't understand that catch by Braun...all the Cubs fans I know told me he stinks out there and that he's no Soriano.
