Really disagree that the Brewers will be a sub-.500 team without Prince. As long as they still have good pitching there's no way they won't compete. Gamel is definitely a drop-off offensively at 1B, but it's not to the point that it'll cause them to be under .500. Prince is definitely a big part of the the success of the offense, but everything comes back to the pitching staff, and if the Greinke and Marcum are kept this team can compete for many years to come. It's not all reliant on Fielder. A bit of a dip in production at 1B can be made up for with good pitching, and production from other players. They would likely end up as a sub-.500 team if they decided to keep Fielder over Greinke and Marcum. Pitching is far more important to this team, especially in the near future. We all saw how bad this team was without good pitching. It's far more productive to keep a few key pitchers, than to blow $25 million a year on Fielder. The contract he gets will look especially bad years down the line when he starts to decline. It just isn't feasible for this organization to spend that much money on one player, much less a position player.

Hardy is becoming more and more expensive, and is projecting as a Type A. Not sure we can beat the comp picks Baltimore would get if they lose him via free agency. Furcal is probably more realistic. Weeks Morgan Braun Fielder Hart McGehee Furcal Lucroy is a pretty darn good lineup.
-
The past few days there have been a ton of posts about Reyes as a Brewer. These are all just dreams right........ Picture this line up Reyes6Weeks4Braun7Fielder3Kemp8Bautista5Mauer2Ellsbury9Halladay1 Looks a lot better What's the point? He will never be a Brewer. At least not a Brewer on a team with Fielder, Greinke or Marcum. Ellsbury couldn't play RF..........pshh I think Bautista plays RF in that lineup, and Ellsbury LF, lol.
-
Yeah, our lineup against lefties really blows. McGehee 5th, Betancourt 6th, Gomez playing. No thanks.
-
Also, didn't a lot of players say they would boycott the game this year because it is being held in Arizona and the anti-illegal immigration bill. I think Gallardo was one of them.
-
I believe they always DH in the all-star game because AL pitchers could get hurt.....They used to only use the DH in AL parks. The 2009 All-Star game in St. Louis didn't use a DH. They changed it this year, so they are using the DH.
-
I don't see why they wouldn't just bring him up on June 17 then. Why wait a week and waste three games he could've pinch-hit in?
-
If the Brewers offer Prince a 6 year $150 million deal they are out of their minds. This organization can't afford to pay one player $25 million a year, especially in the later years when Braun's contract escalates. We need to commit that $25 million to Marcum and Greinke. I love Prince just as much as the next guy, and probably more actually, but it just isn't realistic to keep him around at the price he will command on the open market. I don't see any chance of it happening.
-
Gamel has options left, or he'd be on the major league roster right now. We needed to option him to AAA to begin with. You only use one option a year. He would be the only one considered, but at this point it doesn't seem like it'll happen. I can see Roenicke wanting to play Kotsay and everyone else to get them AB's during interleague play. It's a stupid idea, but Roenicke will wanna do it I'm sure. I'd just call up Gamel to DH.
-
It may end up being a slight discount for some of the years if he keeps performing. It really was just a commitment to the organization, and that is what is really rare about it. Players don't usually commit themselves to an organization for their entire career.
-
Well, I guess me being at the game is the same as me being in the chat room. Because we won another close one with me there.
-
Lol, that was amazing. Pure gold. Plush is the man! Gotta love him!
-
Kidding or not, he has said he won't waive his no-trade clause.
-
Finally, McGehee moves out of the 5 spot. Only complaint left is Nieves being on the roster, let alone catching Wolf.
-
Sorry I missed it. I blame myself for the loss. Wasn't home until it was too late.
-
I think an easy way to get McGehee out the 5 spot is to put Hart 5 and keep both of our CF platoon mates hitting 2nd. Carlos has hit lefties well this year, though his career numbers suggest that's a small sample size fluke. The lineup below is what I would try until McGehee turns things around. Weeks Morgan/Gomez Braun Fielder Hart Lucroy McGehee Betancourt This is what I would do. I think it's a pretty good lineup for right now. I hope Roenicke goes with it soon. It's ridiculous that McGehee and Betancourt are both hitting in front of Lucroy right now. They could at least fix that part of it.
-
No, he said he hoped to not miss any games if possible. Worked out with him not being available anyway last night, and a night game tonight. Also came right before a homestand, which helps too. I'm sure he'll be in uniform tonight.
-
Honestly, what is the point of bringing that up in this thread? We're all Brewers fans here, c'mon man. But seriously, we'll surpass them don't worry. I'm all about celebrating the team's successes. I guess I just didn't really think that winning an average of 75 games per year for 13.4 years was something to celebrate.I understand. It's just a milestone, that's all. 68 more victories over that time isn't a lot more anyway. We were bad for a lot of year, I get that. But we're good now, so I'll focus on the positives. Lol.

Draft Pick Discussion, Rounds 1-5
PrinceEatMeat replied to battlekow's topic in MLB Draft & International Signings
http://www.mlbtraderumors...feed&utm_medium=facebook Not sure if this has been posted yet, but Melvin apparently mentioned to Olney that Jungmann could possibly help the team this year. That's at least a clear sign that he won't be babied along in the minors. -
Awesome! Congrats to John and his wife!

Bryce Harper needs some chin music

Yeah, pretty sure I heard about that from somewhere. -

Well, the video sure makes him look like a tool. Just staring at the homer isn't something he should be doing. You can't see the pitcher most of the time, so it's possible there were worse exchanged though. Don't know the whole story, but from what I see and what I've heard previously he's definitely a tool. -

Sweep! 5-2 road trip! Well done! I'm loving it!
