Especially need that last one.

Well, looks like Hart is out of luck on his cycle attempt. Knock on wood for Ax.

Crap, well now we have to use K-Rod and Ax. Not a good outing from Hawk there.

Well, need to get 6 guys to the plate for Hart to hit in the bottom of the 8th.

Wow, that was a bomb from Prince there.

Awesome! I know Green won't start obviously, but this definitely puts some heat on McGehee. If he continues to struggle, Green will start getting some playing time.

Now that Narveson is in the bullpen as well for a week, two pitchers could easily be sent out without a problem. I think they'll make a move soon. The only guy I see having a shot of being on the playoff roster is Gamel, so it'll likely be him. Maybe Lopez will be brought back too since he made it through waivers to AAA.

Bummer. I think it'll drop at least 4 over the weekend, and then 4 more during the Cards series next week.

Well, I'll be watching on FSN since TBS will be blacked out in the Milwaukee area. And it's not BA and Darling, it's Smoltz and Johnson I think.

Yeah, that's a good point on Hart. I wouldn't mind holding on to him another year either. I mainly would trade him because of Schafer/Gindl, but another year in AAA for them wouldn't hurt too much. I'd rather keep the Morgan/Gomez platoon in CF than Hart in RF too. Mainly because Morgan/Gomez are far superior defensively to Hart, Schafer, and Gindl. But also they will come cheaper.

I think we need to look at things from a financial standpoint going into the future. Right now we have Weeks, Braun, and Hart locked up to big contracts. We also have Morgan/Gomez and McGehee heading for pay increases in arbitration. Assuming we either keep Betancourt or pay to get a different SS, and lose Fielder, the only starting position players we will have at minimal salaries are Lucroy and Gamel. We have 4 starting pitchers making good money, and Narveson at a bargain for another year. We then have Ax also at a minimal salary, and can probably fill the rest of the pen with low salaried guys and bargain veterans like we have right now in Saito and Hawkins. Basically, some guys will have to go if we plan to lock up guys like Greinke and Marcum, and also account for escalating salaries of other players. If we somehow keep Fielder, then we really need to save money. First thing I would do is trade Wolf and Hart as many people have said. Replace Wolf with a cost effective prospect like Peralta, and replace Hart with Schafer/Gindl. That would save quite a bit of money. McGehee won't go anywhere if tendered, because no one will really want him. So keep him and Green at 3B. Go with the cheap option in Gamel at 1B, and go with cheap options on the bench like Hairston, Gindl, and maybe Farris. I think if all this happens we'll be able to lock up Greinke and possibly Marcum. Either that or we should look to trade Marcum instead of Wolf. We have a better chance of getting a good SS prospect for Marcum anyway. I wouldn't trade both though. 1 spot should be easy to fill, but I wouldn't try filling 2 at this point. So basically we role with a rotation of Gallardo, Greinke, Marcum/Wolf, Narveson, Peralta, which isn't bad. Then we have an infield of Gamel, Weeks, new SS/Yuni, and McGehee/Green. Then an outfield of Braun, Morgan/Gomez, and Schafer/Gindl. A bench of possibly Hairston, Kottaras, McGehee/Green, Morgan/Gomez, and Schafer/Gindl. A bullpen of Ax, possibly Saito and Hawkins if they don't retire, Loe, Braddock, a long reliever like Estrada, and then fill-in the rest with cheap vets or guys like McClendon and Kintzler. This really is a pretty good team still all things considered. Most importantly it's a mostly affordable team, at least for the near future. I really have a hard time believing that Doug won't trade some guys this offseason to cut costs to resign others. We have some talent in AAA ready to come up and fill the holes. I think a team like this is pretty realistic for next year.

Yep, I'd rather allocate that money elsewhere and give Taylor Green a shot at 3B. Can't afford to be paying all our guys high salaries in the future. We need to find some guys to work out on minimal salaries both in the starting lineup and on the pitching staff. We'll likely need to pay for a SS, and we're already gonna be paying Braun, Hart, and Weeks quite a bit of money. Also Morgan and Gomez are hitting arby soon. And then there's Gallardo, Greinke, Wolf, Marcum, and the rest of the staff that will be making good salaries. I don't see Melvin taking on anyone with as high of salary as Wright at this point.

I'm not worried about it. Because what really happened is we beat the Bears in the NFC Championship and went on to win the Super Bowl while they sat at home watching. That was pretty fun! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Thought this was a pretty important piece of news. http://www.cbssports.com/...d&utm_medium=twitter Definitely changes the market for Fielder, and probably gives the Brewers a better shot to keep him at least. Really surprises me that the Nationals don't want him. Many experts thought that they would be a main player in the Fielder sweepstakes.

But... why? Lots of guys are well rested. Gotta keep your top guys sharp. Ax needs work, so does K-Rod, and so did Hawkins.

See, we can score 7 in an inning too Pirates!
