    Yes per Rosiak

    Please be advised that the Commissioner's Office and the Players Association have agreed to amend the Major League Rules in advance of this year's Rule 4 Draft with respect to players-to-be-named-later ("PTBNLs") under Rule 12(e)(2), and the trading of draft picks under Rule 3(b)(6). ...commencing with players eligible for the 2015 Rule 4 Draft, (a) players selected in the Draft may be traded beginning on the day following the conclusion of the World Series, and (b) drafted players cannot be PTBNLs unless they otherwise could be traded pursuant to Rule 3(b)(6), as amended, at the time of the trade.

    So the contact play is still happening with Counsell?

    Aoki would provide the Tigers an offensive upgrade in LF and insurance at all three OF positions, but the top two in their lineup is set with Jackson and Hunter. Aoki would likely hit in the bottom third of their order.

    From 2006-2012, the Brewers failed to reach .500 three times. In those three years, they ranked 25th, 27th, and 26th in the MLB in ERA. ERA isn't a tell-all pitching stat, but a decent indicator of the quality of your pitching staff. With last year's position players all returning from a team that was in playoff contention until the last week of the season and a 2012 pitching staff that ranked 22nd in ERA, an MLB average ERA this year should put them in the thick of the playoff race.

    There were no tax implications for me. The cost to the Brewers ended up being less than the taxable amount of $600.

    Sure, it was the Party in the Clubhouse. As described by the Brewers: Host a party for you and 19 guests during the offseason in the visitor's clubhouse, catered by DNC Sportservice. I really enjoyed it. It also included a guided tour of Miller Park. It looks like they may have replaced it with another giveaway this year.

    I have a pair of 20-pack tickets and won one of the prizes two offseasons ago. They contacted me several days before they announced it on their website. From there, I worked with my ticket rep and another ticket rep to organize the event (since it didn't have to be on a specific date). It is a legitimate fan giveaway.

    Bowden is reporting the deal is 1 yr/2.25M plus incentives. I like it.
  10. yoyo49
    $5.7 guaranteed per Haudricourt
  11. yoyo49
    Per Morosi: Tom Gorzelanny's deal with #Brewers will be worth close to $6MM over two years, source says.

    They non tendered him because he was going to make more next season than they wanted to pay. That not the same as Washington thinking he wasn't worth what he made last season. I find it hard to believe he would not get at least a small raise as a free agent lefty who can both start or relieve. Maybe not as much as he would have got in arbitration but more than the $3 million he made last season. I'd guess around $8 million or so. Right, I added in the $3 mil for a reference point. If Washington didn't think he was worth 1 yr/2.8 mil or so (MLB Trade Rumors projected the $2.8 mil figure on 10/29/12) that he would have gotten in arbitration in 2013, I have a hard time believing Melvin thought he was worth 2 yr/10 mil. That second year is key too.
  13. yoyo49
    2 yrs at $10 mil? He was non-tendered after making $3 mil last year. I was assuming closer to $5-6 mil.
  14. yoyo49
    Sounds like the Rays were considering non-tendering him, and may have had a deal in place with the Brewers prior to last night's non-tender deadline. He's not outstanding, but should be a solid middle reliever. EDIT: Per Haudricourt, Melvin just confirmed the deal was put together last night
  15. yoyo49
    Not too earth shattering, but Rosenthal is reporting that the Brewers, Red Sox, and Angels are expressing interest in Dempster, who is seeking a three-year deal. Dempster would be about 6th or 7th on my FA SP wish list.

    Doug still has ten days to trade Kottaras
  17. yoyo49
    You'd rather be paying him more than his current contract during his arbitration years and watching him walk via free agency after next season?
  18. yoyo49
    I know the topic was brought up in this thread, but feel free to create another thread if necessary: Tim Brown ‏@TBrownYahoo If Brewers decide to sell, Dodgers have identified Aramis Ramirez as possible 3B upgrade. Prefer Chase Headley, however.
  19. yoyo49
    It's at 40, and he hasn't been added yet. A move will have to be made to add him. Thanks. I thought it was at 40 before his addition, but the 40-man roster page notes 42 players, which includes Gamel, Gonzalez, and Narveson.
  20. yoyo49
    Was the 40-man at 39 or 40 before Bianchi's addition?

    keithlaw ‏@keithlaw For three months of Greinke & no picks? I say crazy talk. RT @RyanTopp: Mike Olt straight up for Zack Greinke. Crazy talk or fairish value?

    From Buster's article this morning: "They are furious that a player who tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs won by challenging the administration of his test rather than contesting the presence of synthetic testosterone in the urine. (Although we haven't seen the official written decision from the arbitrator.)" No real mention (in the non-ESPN insider portion) of the fact that you don't win banned substance arbitration cases by contesting the presence of synthetic testosterone in the urine.
  23. yoyo49
    Ha, agree completely, which is why I come here to try to make sense of what really happened
  24. yoyo49
    Yeah, that seems to be the case based on what I have read here--I am not a science guy. Passan didn't really provide much detail--just that he had confirmed the synthetic T with three sources.
  25. yoyo49
    This seems like one of the biggest misconceptions out there. Every time Carroll or someone else who even has a slightly pro-Braun's side argument people keep saying, "Well how to explain the synthetic testosterone in his system?". But according to numerous people here and in other places there is no guarantee synthetic testosterone was in his system. This is a major issue but because the initial leak said they found synthetic testosterone the story has stuck. I am glad to have guys on this board with a science background and other guys out there explaining this better Passan said (on twitter) that he has confirmed--with three sources--the synthetic T reading on the test
