    Saw this on vivaelbirdos, thought it was particularly clever. It describes their astonishment that Octavio Dotel was allowed to pitch to 2 lefties (Plush and Fielder). Also apparantly StL fans have dubbed Marc Rzepczynski with a nickname: 'Scrabble'. Octavio Dotel has a .938 OPS allowed against left-handed hitters. Marc Rzepczynski has allowed lefties an OPS of .462. That's a nearly 500 point difference. In other words, Dotel and Scrabble's respective abilities to contain left-handed hitters is almost a full Tony La Russa infielder apart.

    Stephen Colbert did a bit on Counsell's hitless streak. Too good to not pass along: http://www.brewcrewball.c...ig-counsells-near-record

    I agree with the strategery involved here. But not when a $14 million is on the line. K-Rod saving a game here or there giving axford rest is fine. K-Rod coming anywhere close to 21 finishes is grounds for termination.
  4. BrewerBrent
    If he comes close to the remaining 21 finishes because of this Roenicke should be fired immediately. That's just asinine, there's no reason to do this.

    McCalvy is reporting that the brewers are interested in signing him: http://brewersbeat.mlblog...ortedly_tracking_lo.html

    It probably should be noted that last year he said something to the affect that he had never struggled like he had been before. Throughout highschool / minors / first year and a half in the majors he was just always productive. He never had to work through struggles like what started toward the end of 2008. Hopefully he has learned how to adapt to struggles and can continue his hot streak.

    As a fellow Brent and a brewer fan, I couldn't help but root for him. Sad day.
  8. BrewerBrent
    Now I'm not one for this sort of thing, always found them corny and over the top but I just can't wait any longer for this season to begin. So, GO BREWERS. WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

    What would only be funnier would be if it were one of RJ Swindle's curve balls. If you were coordinated enough you could probably catch it with your front hand and toss it back is if it were an underhand softball.

    Awesome. I was gonna say, everytime I read the winter league updates I would look for his name. Seemed like he always put up a pretty good stat line.
  11. BrewerBrent
    Slightly off topic, but does anyone else notice how much Randy Wolf looks like Geoff Jenkins? Kinda creeping me out.
  12. BrewerBrent
    Agreed. I do like the supposed 'plan' that Hadricourt was reporting. Sign Wolf.. (check) Explore trade opportunities for young starting pitching... Re-look at FA situation and shoot for late signing bargain SP...

    CF yes, 3B probably assuming regression from Casey. 1B might see some regression as well. 2B is interesting because we did get a surprising amount of production there from counsell and later lopez. Probably stretching it a bit here, but if we get a healthy weeks that we saw in the first month last year then we are still getting really good production out of 2B. Hard to get much worse production of out catcher though. I think Lucroy should be able to post at least a kendall-esque OBP plus a bit more slugging.

    According to MLB Trade rumors Mike Fontenot (haha cubs) has reached super 2 status along with Adam Jones and Micah Owings. I remember reading something about Carlos Gomez possibly being a super two. Does his name not being on this list mean that he indeed is not super 2? http://www.mlbtraderumors...ts-super-two-status.html

    Has it been stated anywhere that the brewers are not going to offer Cameron arbitration? Is there really any downside to doing it other than the chance that he accepts? Cameron seems like a straight shooter and by now knows that CF in Milwaukee is not his job anymore. He's always said how much he's appreciated the straight-forward way in which Doug Melvin does business. I'm wondering if it makes sense to offer him arbitration with a gentlemanly agreement for Cameron to decline thus resulting in the brewers picking up a supplemental pick. Is there any downside for Cameron agreeing to this, since being a type-B, any team that signs him won't have to forfeit a pick and he won't end up in a Orlando Hudson-esque situation

    Not necessarily true. A friend of mine got 2 DUI's and is currently serving 40+ days in prison for it. Not to mention the absolutely enormous fines he had to pay.
  17. BrewerBrent
    Don't really have to worry about that anymore as Felipe is now a Type-B according to the latest Elias rankings
  18. BrewerBrent
    Bill James just released some early season projects He projects Angel Salome to hit .296/.345/.442 Yes please.

    I agree with the notion I think our team salary will go up next year. I think Mark A realizes that the fan base will continue to show if he continues to spend, and after such a disappointing year this year and really the embarrassment that has been our pitching staff I think he's going to urge Melvin to make some move or sign somebody to fix this. I just hope it doesn't lead to another Suppan-esque contract like the last time Mark A pushed for this. And by the way, we still have Fielder after next year. It will be his last arbitration year. Unless your suggesting we trade him after next season.
  20. BrewerBrent
    Also notice in that list that Stetter isn't in the list... going to wikipedia to fix that...

    Tom Haudricourt is saying in his latest blog post that Arizona is trying to gauge the interest of DD to agree to stay in AZ next year. Apparently Doug has said that he would like to stay in Arizona as he has a house there. If Doug does indeed want to stay there and AZ is confident they will be able to work out a deal in this offseason, wouldn't it be in all parties' best interest to work out some sort of trade now. Brewers would send some minor prospect to AZ for Doug Davis for the rest of the season, relieving AZ of the $3 mil left on his contract this year. They then offer Doug arbitration in the offseason, which he would likely not accept and we would receive a type B compensation pick from AZ. So brewers get a couple starts from DD, plus a comp pick - AZ gets salary relief plus a minor prospect, plus their pitcher back next year+ Edit: spelling

    Witrado just posted the lineup for tonight. JJ Hardy is starting... BREWERS 2B Casey McGehee SS JJ Hardy LF Ryan Braun 1B Prince Fielder CF Mike Cameron RF Corey Hart 3B Bill Hall C Jason Kendall RHP Jeff Suppan
  23. BrewerBrent
    So how does the mutual option work with compensation picks. Looper was a type B this year. So if he pitches well this year and decides not to excercise his side of the options, andthe brewers do exercise theirs, would we receive compensation picks for him (assuming he's type B again)?
