  1. Well, this is definitely a sigh of relief. He will probably just miss a few games now and be fine. Could've been a lot worse. No one wanted to see him be out an extended period of time, and have Gamel butchering balls over at 3B.
  2. I think he will hit .240 or .250. He isn't as experienced in this type of role as Catalanotto and Inglett were. If he isn't getting relatively consistent ab's, which he won't once Hart's back, then he may struggle. Basically, he's on the roster as a veteran leader and for occasional lefty pop off the bench. I don't like it, but that's the case. I'd much rather have Catalanotto or Inglett in the role he will paly, because they've been doing it most of their careers.
  3. No, options last for the whole year. You can call-up and send down a player as many times as you want in a year, and it only takes up one option.
  4. They probably would if McGehee was out for an extended period of time, but hopefully he won't be.
  5. It better just be a bruise. I'm fearing the worst, and hoping for the best.
  6. Well, Gamel might need to stay at 3B for awhile, because McGehee just got hit by a pitch in the kneecap...
  7. Yeah, this is getting ridiculously horrible. He better be ok. He was hit in the knee btw. http://brewersbeat.mlblog...mcgehee_exits_early.html
  8. Yeah, I don't see Nieves making the team. Kottaras has been tearing the cover off the ball all of ST and is playing pretty good defense. We'll be fine with Rivera and Maldonado at AAA for depth.
  9. Still catching up in this thread, but I don't think anyone denies that Kotsay will make the team. There are plenty of people, though, who think it wouldn't be the most effective use of a roster spot.That pretty much sums up this whole thread. Lol. Kotsay will be on the team, but we don't want him.
  10. You're out of the loop. Hart's not going to be ready on opening day. There's just not enough time to get him enough AB's. That hurts a bit. Not to derail the thread, but does anyone have a good idea how many games he'll miss?I'd say just the minimum amount. The issue will just be getting him enough ab's to feel comfortable. If they leave him in minor league games, he could be activated on April 6.
  11. You make that sound like a good thing.
  12. If Hart is on the DL to begin this season AND Dickerson makes this team and is not in RF on Opening Day, I will have lost one small iota of confidence in Roenicke. Kotsay over Dickerson is simply dumb. Totally with you. Kotsay would be a liability in the field compared to Dickerson, and his bat is also no better. Dickerson should definitely get the start, but I doubt he will.
  13. Yeah, completely agree with you. Reed has proven he can't hit in the majors, why not give someone else a shot? Also, Inglett would've been a great guy to have right now, oh well...
  14. Totally agree, I think he sucks. The bloggers on there make me laugh. They have been defending him. Some of the things they say are just stupid. They were also saying that it was good that Hunt decided to just not report the Carroll trade because no one cares. Well, actual Brewer fans do care, and that is what the blog on there is for. Hunt isn't doing his job, and doesn't take it seriously. He's an idiot.
  15. I'm sure he will override the vote, seeing as he already has done that when he narrowed it down, lol. Cochise had half the votes of some songs, but still made it to the Final 4. I'd prefer Cochise or Bulls on Parade.
  16. I agree, and I still think he will. He's just doing this to appease the fans in my opinion. I hope he listens to the fans, but the fact that Cochise is there makes me think that he will just pick it.
  17. From the USA Today article MassHaas linked to in post #40... "If you don't make right decision," Melvin says, "it can really cost you. And in our division, where we think it can be won or lost by one to three games, that's an important thing." Pretty sad to say, I think Melvin actually believes that Mark Kotsay is a good addition. Why else do you give an un-sought-after older player a guaranteed contract? It's just so frustrating. I hope somehow my assumption is proven wrong, but at this point I'm just assuming Kotsay is going to be 'in ur dugout, killing ur team' Yeah, it's really unfortunate. Kotsay is really of no use to this club. He can't play the field well, and we really don't need him to just sit there as a pinch-hitter. We have plenty of other people to do that, and we have Counsell for veteran leadership. Plus, Counsell can actually contribute and play the field well. It was a dumb signing to begin with, and to keep him over someone like Boggs or Reed just seems stupid to me. Boggs and Reed can both play every position in the outfield, and hit just as well. Plus, Boggs adds versatility by being a switch-hitter. Melvin can do great things like trading for Greinke and Marcum, but then he can go and do stupid things like giving Kotsay a guaranteed contract. I just don't get it sometimes, and probably never will.
  18. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly would probably be one of the most boring closer intros of all time, and would fail to get the crowd pumped up. I heard Axford prefers Audioslave - Cochise, which is why it moved to the final 4 even though it barely had any votes.
  19. Almonte sucks pretty much everywhere in the field, so I think his chances are still low. There's a reason he DH'd a lot the last few years. I don't think Gamel taking 1B will make a difference at all.
  20. Sorry, but Reed isn't gonna be kept over Dickerson. His bat isn't as good and neither is his glove. Plus, he's on a minor-league deal. He'll be kept as insurance at AAA. And there's no way we keep two backup 1B. Almonte is having a good ST, but that doesn't matter without versatility. I think Cruz and Boggs start out on the roster, because Cruz has versatility and Boggs has no options left. We will probably have a better chance slipping Boggs through waivers once Hart comes back then we will before the season starts. Reed certainly has a chance to make the team with Hart starting on the DL, but it's not a slam dunk and it's not gonna be at the expense of Dickerson.
  21. Briggs Sorry, but there's no way Dickerson doesn't make the roster over Reed. Either way, they both can play at AAA. Dickerson has an option, and Reed is on a minor league deal. The only guy we can lose is Boggs. And number of ab's don't mean anything in ST. Dickerson having less ab's than Reed is because he missed time due to injury, and because his spot is already guaranteed. That's also why Kotsay's ab's are down. People can say it's a competition all they want, but Dickerson has had a leg up the whole time, and nothing has changed. He's got a spot locked down. The competition now is for the extra spot created by Hart being hurt, or if we decide to get rid of Kotsay, which I don't see happening. Reed has a shot to make the team, but it's not gonna be over Dickerson.
  22. What in the world is going on? The last position we need to add players for is OF. The only reason I can think of is that we plan on losing one of our outfielders on waivers or something and we need depth at AAA. Or maybe we are trading an outfielder for pitching. It's still a confusing move.
