  1. Rickie Weeks is especially my guy today. Let's get Rickie going.....will it with me.
  2. The article indicates that the Rays are involved but aren't expected to match what the Brewers are offering? You would think the Rays may ante up.....
  3. Absolutely true statements from the article: "Don't fret the prospects. That's why you've stockpiled them. If this season doesn't end with Bud Selig handing you a trophy, you'll know you gave your boys every chance." "Ben Sheets is 6-1 with a 2.38 ERA in his nine last starts. He's a No. 1 starter in every sense of the word. If the Brewers add Sabathia, they'll suddenly have a club built for October baseball." " All in all, it's working. On Opening Day, the National League Central might have been considered baseball's weakest division. No more. The Cubs and Cardinals are as good as any two teams in baseball, and the Brewers have been under the radar until recently. They're one of those teams that the more you look at them, the more you like them."
  4. I also would rather get Harden, but I think we may be able to pry him away with less than Laporta. They may be sick of Crosby and would love Escobar. I say only offer up a Laporta-combination if Cahill was in the deal. This may be the place to actually package Laporta and Gamel/Escobar. Laporta and Escobar for Harden and B. Anderson/T. Cahill
  5. I usually wont waste my time commenting on avatars, but your's is FREAKING hilarious. Very creative...
  6. I sat behind the Doorman not too long ago. We get those seats a lot. One time last season, when Bonds and the Giants came to town, he would hold up a copy of "Game of Shadows" and a Sharpie everytime Bonds walked his way. It was hilarious...
  7. I'll take anything I can get from Mike Cameron offensively....
  8. Why not Matt Holliday? Because I am not that lucky....
  9. Good call. Kind of a clue here....
  10. I would be DOWN with Hardy for Billingsley. I don't think they would do it, but maybe cause Hardy is scorching right now. Billingsly has a ton of upside and is a strikeout pitcher right now. I say do it.
  11. He could be looking forward to it as he would have never been the face of this franchise in my opinion. Braun's popularity has skyrocketed since accepting the deal. The Indians actually have no player that fills that void except Grady Sizemore.
  12. That was painful. Too many strikeouts. Hope for the split with the real matchup coming when Parra faces Webb.
  13. I like the late games if they have to be away. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  14. Interesting to see where Odorizzi came in. I wasn't aware he's that highly regarded, but haven't followed him much.
  15. Any video of the kid out yet?
  16. I would also be open to dealing a second-tier OF or two for Fuentes. I don't see anything wrong with Gillespie and another for a proven Major League reliever who would be moving away from Coors.
  17. I'm glad he signed with Oakland instead of a larger market. Billy Beane and his staff do it again.....
  18. If you trade Fielder to the Mets you start by asking for Fernando Martinez.
  19. 1. Boston (and New York) really seems like they intend to rebuild from within. 2. Doesn't look like it's going to happen and seems to be pure speculation 3. Ervin Santana is nowhere near enough for Prince no to mention we have Gamel pencilled in at 3B (for now) and Green below him. I am not sure I would deal Prince for 2 or 3 Santana's.
  20. Totally true. You keep Prince and go to arbitration. You only trade a hitter like Prince Fielder when you have to.
  21. I am saying exactly that. The Brewers will have to lead in at least the Wild Card by July 31st to make a run and NOT deal Sheets. Basically, we need to get hot once more and leap over the Cards. Compensation picks are not enough by themselves. We need at least some known value in return for Sheets should we not be in a position to make a run with him. All of this assumes we don't go out and trade a higher level prospect for a stud (a la Sabathia) of course.
  22. Harden is a HUGE talent. But, I am not willing to part with Jeremy Jeffress, Matt Laporta, or Matt Gamel to get him. Maybe a package of Escobar, Braddock, and Lucroy? I would sacrifice Escobar for a shot at Harden, but that's about it. He's just to big an injury risk for a top-tier guy.
  23. The Braves would be more like a trade and sign extended scenario. Look for Tampa too....I think they would rent Sheets for the final two months to make a run, with no back end commitment. Most of the Rays arms aren't quite major league ready, but they have a stockpile of them in Price, Hellickson, Davis, McGee, Niemann, etc. Although I don't think they will allow Price to be dealt for anyone, I think a package like McGee, Davis and Jennings would be enough. I do realize that Brewers are only two games out of the wildcard, but like I said they will need another hot streak to get far enough into contention NOT to deal Sheets. I don't think Melvin will just allow him to walk for the compensation picks. Another team to look for could be Oakland. Beane could also rent Sheets for the rest of the season with no future committment and prospects that aren't ready to assist (Cahill, Anderson). The White Sox would be a fit in the standings to make an offer, but they system is depleted.
  24. I am really getting kind of pissed of at BA. I know it's a good thing to have Gamel, Jeffress, and Lucroy make it, but seeing Lucroy in there makes me wonder if BA really just doesn't like Angel Salome. What does Salome have to do to make a hotsheet? (I know some of you out there want to respond, "Grow 4 inches".) I am not saying that Salome should have made this hotsheet, but c'mon. He outshined Gamel for a couple of weeks.
