    I'm not sure why people are putting Jordy out to pasture. The adage of getting rid of someone a year early rather than a year late fits. But its not like he dropped off a cliff. You can't catch the ball when your QB isn't throwing you the ball.

    That is a lot of starters at A+ and AA... do you anticipate a piggy-back situation? I'm excited to see Herrera, Pennington, Webb and Kirby at A ball this year (or at least more of them). I really doubt that anyone is rushing Kirby out of A-ball this year.
  3. CheezWizHed
    Yeah, that was over the course of about 13 years, though. I understand that TT did a few things that seemed to be outside of his normal comfort zone last year. I still don't think anyone would deny that over the course of his entire body of work, TT was extremely conservative and it does not appear that BG will be following in his footsteps in that regard. I think that's the main point being made. Oh, there is no doubting TT was conservative in FA. I just hate hyperbole. The quote was over 25 years, so I could've gone back to Sherman and Wolf's era to add Reggie White and many others (both good and bad "name" FA signings). Peppers was past his prime, but so is Jimmy Graham. And past-his-prime-Peppers was wonderful here each year we had him (and even last year).

    Majora Leaguea Baseballa Is that supposed to be a bad Hispanic accent?
  5. CheezWizHed
    Nice stat. Incorrect but nice stat. Bennett, Peppers, Woodson and Ryan Pickett. That was just TT's tenure in "name" FAs.

    [sarcasm]Cobb offers to try 2B if the Brewers sign him.[/sarcasm]
  7. CheezWizHed
    No wonder Braun offered to play 2B...

    I would imagine that if we don't sign one of the top FA pitchers this year, but sign one next year that will tell us a LOT about Stern's scouting/rating focus. My gut feeling is that he has a system that (for right or wrong) is guiding him to avoid Arrieta/Lynn/Cobb this year. Or at least not spend much on them. If he signs someone next year (of the #1/#2 variety), it would tell us something about the metrics/analytics he is considering.
  9. CheezWizHed
    Can you imagine the fake threads started if Cobb isn't signed by April 1st?
  10. CheezWizHed
    We have other threads for collusion. Lets leave this one to FAs please.
  11. CheezWizHed
    His power and defense would play in the corner outfield as well, if someone was looking for an athletic upgrade. I seem to remember that Broxton really struggled in LF at AAA (he had several errors in one game?) but played better in CF. Maybe he would adjust, but it seemed that he felt more comfortable in CF. Probably could read the ball off the bat better.
  12. CheezWizHed
    I wonder if this type of thing will cause more FAs next year to take lower than expected offers early in the FA period...
  13. CheezWizHed
    I'll admit to egging on the Princess Bride quotes, but come on... this thread is 56 pages long. I'm posting #1107... its come and gone off the rails many times.
  14. CheezWizHed
    Huh... I thought he meant that Cobb would sign on March 42nd.
  15. CheezWizHed
    for 1-10 years at $1-30M/year....
  16. CheezWizHed
    You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. You seem like a decent fellow. I hate to kill you. You seem like a decent fellow. I hate to die. Sorry, but I just couldn't leave that line out there hanging like that...
  17. CheezWizHed
    But those numbers (25-30 CFs) mean that he is a MLB starting caliber player as he can start with 5 teams. Most of the trades are for lower end players, so its not like people are treating him like an all-star. He is what he is... he has some decent qualities as a players and some deficiencies. He can fill a gap (as he did for us), but is a guy you want to replace.
  18. CheezWizHed
    I would imagine mods have senses of humor just like the rest of us. If thou throwest high heat, doest we not rush the mound? I guess, I should've put it in sarcasm blue, but I thought it was over the top enough... As a moderator, I'm pretty sure we are allowed to be funny.
  19. CheezWizHed
    I saw a snapchat of someone's facebook page where they twittered that Cobb has a 110% chance of signing with the Brewers today... unless he doesn't. This came from a verified human.
  20. CheezWizHed
    "Standard" procedure or not, what DHonks stated stands. Having him start is the most controllable situation to see what he has in an arm. Oh, and FYI, we might want to let him get a few more than 12 innings at A-ball before we label him as a starter, RP, or Andrew Miller.
  21. CheezWizHed
    I'm just tired of waiting. "Odds" provide a little point of interest/discussion while days go by with no Brewers trade/FA transactions. Honestly it's not really that much different than a typical Brewers off season. Expectations got jacked up by a couple of high level acquisitions and a some folks with some educated guesses. I think it was pretty obvious a while back that Domingo was going to be back. They had been trying to trade him since basically the last day of the season. Given the trade/contract value corner OF's have garnered this winter, the low odds of trading Santana are not exactly news. I can't think of a single offseason like this one. Not only have the Brewers been busy in the trade market, but also rumors of big FA signings... Then tie that together with so many fairly large FAs remaining unsigned into ST. Yeah, this one is unique.
  22. CheezWizHed
    And all tradeable. I think that is going to be a key point this year.
  23. CheezWizHed
    Female version of Eddie the Eagle!

    No, it went down to 20% before he bailed out. This seems like a perfect spot for a Naked Gun quote... http://www.brostrick.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/10percent.jpg
  25. CheezWizHed
    Personally, I'm tired of "odds". I'd like to actually see something happen.
