    The Sheets Trade Talk is going to blossom in the next couple of weeks if the Brewers don't have another hot streak. I would love a deal involving Tommy Hanson in the Braves system. I would watch for the Angels to make an offer as well. They'll probably dangle Jordan Walden but I am not sure LA has the arms to make it worthwhile. We would only make a prospect-type deal to get pitching. But, say the Braves make a run in that crowded division and we could pry Heyward away from them. Another that may make itself evident is Philadelphia. Sheets for Carrasco, Savery, and Golson? Maybe a little much, but that would make it worthwhile for me. My name is SheetsKOut. I obviously have an attachment to Ben Sheets and I think an effort should be made to keep him. He is one of my favorites ever to watch and I have never even acknowledged a Ben Sheets Bandwagon. The worst thing that could happen, though, is losing him and getting nothing back.

    You're dreaming. The dodgers wouldn't deal Kershaw for Sheets straight up. And yes, I realize Sheets' value. Kershaw is probably the only young pitcher who would make a team think twice. (Maybe Joba/Kazmir)

    WUMP also is speculating trading Fielder for Sabathia assuming you are able to sign Sabathia.

    I totally don't agree with this call at all. It is the batters burden to keep the game moving as he has the final "say" between pitches by entering the box. Totally hilarious though. A battle-in-a-battle, in a battle, in a battle, in a battle.....

    Same from me. This kid must be going freaking nuts.

    Cameron gets to balls in the gaps that only one or two outfielders get to in the Bigs. I have seen him run-down fly balls in games that go for doubles against other teams. I don't feel that Braun has been that bad in LF too. Hall's been the bad one. I'll take a Hall/Braun/Cameron/Hart setup over Braun/Jenkins/Hart/Gross/Gwynn/Hall combo anyday.

    I would also like to see Escobar get the call. I think they could actually lead him off and hope for contact hits....

    I agree. Aces are like great Centers in the NBA. Super-rare. I know he's going to want a lot, but you gotta retain your ace. Hughes looks like a bust to me. I would rather deal with a team that had maybe a Brett Anderson (like the A's) or maybe a Carlos Carrasco (Phillies).

    The whole salary increase for top-end closers makes me nervous and is going to get worse. I am not sure that Wagner's ego would let him go to a small-market town. (He loves to open his mouth)

    Oh....and BTW Eric Bedard isn't having THAT bad a season for an AL Starter. He's given up some bombs and walks a few, but still averaging a K/inning and has an ERA sub-4.15 in the AL.

    I think your perspective is a little off here. Hating the media makes them make you into a jerk. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

    Personally, I would deal Prince for Felix Hernandex IN A SECOND. Hernandez is an anomaly of a young pitcher (a la Kazmir) and the control will come around. He also would be having a killer year if Seattle would help him at all. Barring a trade for either a mega-high pitching prospect or for a young arm like Hernandez/Lincecum, I still feel we should do whatever necessary to sign Princy. A Braun-Fielder core is just fine with me. But, a Sheets, Hernandez, Gallardo front looks mighty nice too.
  13. sheetskout
    I don't think LAA is a possibility as they are pretty content with a young Casey Kotchman. They are more likely to rebuild their pitching staff.
  14. sheetskout
    I certainly am implying that in my post regarding the OF Logjam. Trade Cain and Gillespie for a stud arm or something.
  15. sheetskout
    It hurts me to say it as Rickie was my favorite, but you may be right. Brantley's K/BB ratio looks STELLAR for the leadoff spot. I mean the guy strike out once every 30 AB's or something close to that!
  16. sheetskout
    Good insight. I didn't mean to sound like our bat surplus was a point of complaint. It's one of the nicer problems an ML system can have. Honestly, the player I am rooting for the most is Salome. Should Salome work out and stick in the system for a while, Lucroy can be dealt, and sold high for arms and Lawrie can be re-assessed to find his position. Times are good, but there's some things to figure out. Most of all I want all of these names to be handled carefully, something that Melvin has done a good job at in my opinion.

    There was an article on CBS Sportsline that brought up a few hypothetical questions about our OF and 3B situations. The article mentions the would-have-been scenario where if Braun would have stuck at 3B a Braun/Laporta pairing, now, would be pretty attractive. The article continues by analyzing the fact that because Gamel is improving, a Braun/Laporta situation still causes a problem. Moving Lorenzo Cain to AAA sends a whole bunch of mixed signals too. Cole Gillespie is also aging at AA and I totally see a deal-to-be-made here for some pitching depth. So, you have Laporta, Cain, Gillespie, Brantley all having success (Cain is totally debatable though) gunning for three ultimate spots two of which are already occupied by young full-timers in Braun and Hart. Braun is already locked up, and Milwaukee has been rumbling recently with "Sign Cory Hart" sentiments. What happens if Gamel doesn't work at third? Add another to the OF list. Also realized is the fact that Cain and Brantley are relatively young for their leagues (again, Cain is debatable there too depending on where he sticks). LaPorta and Gillespie, however, are not. I really can't remember a time like this in Brewers history. The Minor League System had so many offensive options that they had to be juggled a little bit to get them playing time (a la Cain), while making an effort to keep core groups together. I think that if Lawrie works at Catcher you'll see this situation there too. Thoughts appreciated. Thanks.

    It's clear to see that Hart isn't the hitter that Prince is (or has as high a ceiling). I agree though that Hart should be signed. He's been the most consistent all year, and could-be a thirty-thirty candidate in the next coupld years. The flip side of that is when you take Hart's height into consideration, he speed is likely to fade fast. Now, you have a .290 25HR a year guy on your hands signed long term for a possible premium. I say sign him, but not for near the money or commitment that you'd sign a Fielder/Braun/Gallardo.

    I'll take Utley's season at an infield position all day long over Hamilton. If only Rickie.....man that would be sweet....

    I don't understand why they don't let Kendall try the two-hole. He's a contact hitter that rarely strikes out. This is the definition of a two-hitter. I realize that Kendall had a knack for hitting into the double play, but he hasn't this year. This may have been because the pitcher was rarely on in front of him, but c'mon. Kendall also works counts which is something you want toward the top of the order. This tires the opposing pitcher out and builds their pitch counts.
  21. sheetskout
    No way Taylor Green gets the nod. I say more like just Gamel and Laporta, and maybe Salome. Escobar already played. I really, really hope Salome plays....
  22. sheetskout
    And Laporta goes deep twice more today. Huntsville's offense is spectacular and entertaining.
  23. sheetskout
    Although I have never seen him personally, Salome is supposed to have a complete cannon. He just needs to refine it.... I think it's really hard to measure his game calling skills.
  24. sheetskout
    The real question is who will take #2? I say Gamel here.
  25. sheetskout
    I have been enamoured with the Salome saga as many on here have. He's starting to heat up!!! Average is now over .300 and he's showing some power. Way to go Angel. Does anyone know how his defense has been?
