    Unlike Bourn Gomez is still rather young yet relatively speaking so teams are going to look at him as he can still improve. Gomez is more equal to BJ Upton than he is Bourn and will more than likely get a contract rather similar to what Upton got from the Braves this year.

    Pitching FA are either miss (mostly miss) or hits while positional players even someone like Kendall is a hit in FA. Small and mid market teams need to stay away from FA when filling pitching needs unless you are going after someone like Sabathia. The value is just not there while you can get some value in FA with relief arms it is mostly miss and your seldom hits though I am willing to bet players that are not closers you will have more success with as they will not cost as much. Positional players give back some rather nice value in free agency.

    Carlos Gomez's estimated arbitration was around 4.7 million dollars. If there's debate on whether the Brewers would have considered a QO for him, I don't know what to tell you; because there's NO way the Brewers offer Gomez that much. I'm not quite sure what to say about that. The system still favors deeper pockets, in that we agree. But now the Brewers have fewer compensation chances year-to-year. And that certainly doesn't favor them. Ask the Rays how they've been competitive over the past five years. What are they going to do now that only one player qualifies for significant draft compensation? The Brewers will definitely give Gomez a QO next off season. I expect Gomez to get a contract very similar to what Upton got and probably one or two more years added onto that.

    no, there are plenty of players in the minors plus there is nothing but garbage left in FA unless you want another relief pitcher or two. There is still a lot of depth and value in terms of relief pitchers available.

    No it is not time to try again. You do not draft based on need you draft on BPA (best player available). BPA is the smart way to go in drafting and it doesn't really matter if it is a pitcher or positional player because you are going to need them at some point in time. If your farm system is pitcher heavy it doesn't mean you have to take a positional player because you are pitching heavy if the player that you are picking at that time is not the BPA. It should always be BPA and forget what position or positions you have depth at.

    Trading Jennings would be the right thing to do but we are talking about the Bucks and Kohl here but then again Kohl did OK a trade of Allen + for Payton +. Allen was a better player at the time when they traded him away for an aging and not so great PG anymore. Yes I am still bitter with that trade. I don't think it is likely to happen it is a guarantee that it will happen.

    This is a "great" opportunity for Mat Gamel but it is also a great opportunity for someone like Khris Davis to show what he can do. I thought Gamel would win a spot over Davis but with Hart out I wouldn't be surprised to see Davis take a spot on the roster.

    I have used the DVD's from this site http://www.martyschwartzguitar.com/ He also has a youtube page where he gives out some free lessons.

    Hart would be signed by a team and they would give up a 1st round pick for him. Swisher was someone no one thought would get picked up and look what happened there.

    I don't see mid-90's FB out of Gonsalves and his delivery don't get me started on that. There is no way any MLB team is going to allow him to keep that delivery so he is going to have to change it which may hurt him as he develops as he is going to have to relearn everything. I just don't see Gonsalves being a good pick for the Brewers. The Brewers still need an impact bat in the system which the Brewers are lacking heck an impact talent would be nice right about now. I don't see Gonsalves as being that impact talent. From: http://www.bbprospectreport.com/2012/12/03/stephen-gonsalves-video Fastball 89-91 in this look, maybe a tick more upside, maybe not. Curveball at 72, flashes rotation and control. Won’t be a power arm, this guy will be about strikes and efficiency. Would have been just fine in the 1940s thru the 1970s. Nowadays, well, he better hope somebody with institutional knowledge drafts him, or this runs the risk of not ending well. Hey, you people read me for the stuff you’re thinking but can’t say, right?

    I don't like Gonsalves at all. I am not all that confident in him being all that great. Also it is way to early to predict where guys will be drafted. Just look at last years draft in Roach as he was a safe bet top 10-15 pick but we all saw how that turned out.

    Google drive should work. You can have up to 16TB at about $800 a month. articles: http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/skydrive_vs_google_drive

    What about iCloud? Would that work?

    For a fairly simple and easy setup MLB's fantasy is nice. It is set up like a NFL style fantasy. You submit your roster for the week and you are done. No pitchers but there are pitching staffs. 1 C 1 1B 1 2B 1 SS 1 3B 3 OF 1 UTIL and 1 Pitching staff. Fairly easy to set up and play.

    My favorite song from them.

    Do you by chance work for nbadraft.net? Nope. The reason why I said Zach Randolph is a good comparison as it took Randolph awhile to adjust to the league and become the player he is now. Yes he does have a better offensive game than Sanders but defensively they look rather similar. But I will say one thing it is nice to actually have someone who is good defensively like Sanders is who isn't really limited by his size.

    With the music you like you might like a band from Sweden called Hardcore Superstar. Their newest song

    Nothing in the new CBA states that anything has changed in terms of sign and trades. From the current CBA: Source: 2012-2016 Basic Agreement Though I do see where MLB does say it would be collusion but the players union would put up a big stink about it as this would help out a player. I don't really see the collusion part of this as MLB does in the case for Lohse. And to your second point you would then have problems with MLB and would then be kicked out of the league.

    Do you know if you have your IP set up as being static or automatic? Example: http://www.instructables.com/files/deriv/F6Q/K91Y/H6WG6DTK/F6QK91YH6WG6DTK.LARGE.jpg In Windows 7: Right click the wireless icon on your system tray, click "Open Network and Sharing Center". On the top right of the screen, click "Change adapter settings". Right click your wireless network adapter, and click "Properties". Find "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)", click it, and then click "Properties." Then click "Obtain and IP address automatically". If you want to obtain your DNS servers automatically, you can change those as well. Please note that if you use OpenDNS or another web filter that requires you to use their DNS servers, this could shut off the filtering, or in some cases impact your ability to access the internet. In Windows XP: Click "Start", and go to Control Panel. Double click Network Connections. Find your network adapter and right click it, click properties, go to "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" and click "Properties". Then click "Obtain and IP address automatically". If you want to obtain your DNS servers automatically, you can change those as well. Please note that if you use OpenDNS or another web filter that requires you to use their DNS servers, this could shut off the filtering, or in some cases impact your ability to access the internet.

    Not necessarily because you also lose how much you can spend in the draft also. The Indians will actually have a lower amount that they can spend on the draft than the Brewers will with the loss of that 2nd round pick. The Yankees will have a higher pool of funds to spend also.

    Sounds like an IP conflict. Do you have anything else connected to the router?

    Would Frank Thomas be a reach of a comparisson for Puk as his ceiling? After watching some more videos and raeding more about him I am getting rather excited about him. Defensively he would be a liability but I think he could play at the level of what Prince did at 1st and still be valuable. I doubt he makes it out of the top 10. The Brewers are really missing an impact prospect and Puk to me is a rather big impact prospect.

    Sounds like you are describing an iPod commercial.

    A player can be traded after signing with a team the player just has to approve the deal before hand. For example say the Brewers wanted to sign Lohse but they didn't want to give up that first rounder. The Brewers could work out a deal with the Cardinals in where they would get a prospect in return for Lohse. Though I believe this is highly unlikely to happen as Lohse is not worth a prospect to give up. I do believe though that if the Cardinals would not have given Lohse the QO he would have been signed by someone by now.

    What kind of magazine would it be for? Is it possible to do something that is more along the lines of your career goal. For example if you could be an editor for a fish and game or an outdoors type of a magazine that would help you out and also help the company out sort of. If you do get into parks and recreation you can then possibly work both jobs as a freelance editor for the company while you are working your parks and recreation job. I would be honest with the company that you used to work for tell them where you want to be in 2-4 years and mention something like I stated above that you are interested in doing something more along the lines of an outdoors type of a magazine.
