  1. Link in a sticky topic is accomplished... And 1992casey, after trying to emulate what you do in the Brewer drafts for the NFL drafts (but only doing about 1/10th of the content)... wow. I always appreciated the good work, but now I know a bit more about what it takes!
  2. Look for discussion on: The NFL Draft? Training Camp? College Talk? Game Day discussion? Glorious Packer Super Bowl Victories? You can find it all here.
  3. Woodruff looking good early at Brevard: 1.41 ERA with 30ks and 9 BB over 32 IP. Sporting a 1.09 WHIP.
  4. What about righty on righty? I think the point was that we have all lefty options in CF right now. During Conley's near-no-hitter, I was cringing watching Flores bat against Conley lefty v lefty.
  5. I had to say that the (non-sarcastic) standing ovation that the crowd gave Conley was pretty classy for a performance against the home team. And that triple play was awesome! I think it was the first that I've seen live.
  6. Jungmann going to AAA is to also work on mechanics and pitch placement. It probably will be difficult to get too much of a CB going, but each of those things can be evaluated by Brewer's personnel even if he does get hit around a bit at AAA. You and I can really only look at ERA, WHIP, etc... but the coaches can look at much more than that to make sure he is back on track.
  7. Ouch, Reed's power is non-existent so far this year: 269BA with 299 SLG. Only two 2B for his xtra base hits. And in Colorado to boot...
  8. Only if you subscribe to Freudian psychoanalysis.
  9. Adam Lind Career: 273/330/463/793 - His OPS by year (300+ PA) goes: 678, 755, 932, 712, 734, 729, 854, 860, 820* - So he had a late resurgence (29-31 years old) but he struggled against lefties. - Currently 32 with viable concern about age regression. Chris Carter Career: 220/313/462/775 - His OPS by year (300+PA): 770, 799, 734 - BA is clearly his biggest problem. Last year, he didn't clear the Mendoza line. - He is 29 this year. - Switching teams with a fresh start and new BA coach might help a bit, but if he can hit 240 this year, it would be a minor miracle (223, 227,199 BA in those three years with 300+ PA). I'd really doubt that Carter is going to be worth much this season for trades. Perhaps next year, if he can hit around 240/330/470 for the next year and a half, someone might buy in on a consistent improvement taking place. But otherwise, there are probably much better options for a team that wants to make the playoffs. My opinion on Lind's low trade return: 1) I have to think that concern over Lind's age and platoon status are what reduced the trade value of an 800+ OPS 1B. 2) I think Sterns probably had the option of one flawed upper level player or three lower level pitchers that were a bit unknown. So he took the chances on three instead of another "same as" type pitcher.
  10. I've been a Braun supporter for some time now, even through his PEDs saga. But frankly, if he is hitting well enough to bring back some top pitching prospects, I think we need to leverage it. Summary of my thinking: 1) Look at the "next wave". Deep in position players (except 1B), but nothing really special for Pitching. We have a lot of guys that have #3-4 SP ceilings with maybe a couple #2 level. But very little at the #1-2 level. Sure, those guys don't grow on trees, but we seem to have far fewer than other teams. 2) At best, Braun will be declining to a low 800 OPS type player when we are ready to compete again. He won't be worthless, but we might have better options by then too. Then it will be too late to trade him. 3) I'm all for paying part of his contract to get better prospects back. For those that question this, ask yourself: "How much is fair to buy another draft pick?" Then ask, "How much is fair to buy a draft pick where we know how his first few years will turn out?" Because by paying some of Braun's contract, you are basically buying a player on the other team. Right now, we have a very low payroll and can leverage that to continue building the minors. Not everyone has that payroll flexibility and we could take advantage of that. How much? The Brewer bean counters will figure that out. But its worth using to our advantage.
  11. Its not to late to chime in on your opinions of the NFL draft! Two poles out today: 1) Who was your favorite draft pick? 2) What was the most critical position that the Packers didn't address (or address enough) during the draft?
  12. Ben would've been flexing his muscles at a .500 OPS.
  13. I wish I was listening to Uecker. These games were when he was at his best.
  14. There is a special going on... all BF.net account owners get a free LL.net account! Don't miss this special one time offer... Its good only from Sunday-Saturday each week!
  15. So… if a starting pitcher loses a game in the top of the tenth inning without giving up a hit, is that still a no-hitter because he's met the 9-inning requirement? I would guess so. No examples of it happening that I could find, but that seems to fit the requirements. Ken Johnson lost in 9 innings in 1964, but the game only went 9 innings.
  16. Doesn't look like it. A simple google search found this website. There used to be 50 more no-hitters on the record books, but in September 1991 the Committee for Statistical Accuracy, chaired by then MLB Commissioner Fay Vincent, changed the official definition of a no hitter, declaring it a game of nine innings or more that ends with no hits. That leaves 295 sanctioned no-hitters (273 in the A.L. and N.L.), There were no hitters called for darkness or weather that don't count. Also no-hitters against the home team, but the home team led after 8 innings thus the game ended. And other fun non-no-hitters.
  17. Garrett Kennedy reaches on a throwing error by second baseman Blake Allemand. Garrett Kennedy out at 2nd, catcher Max McDowell to shortstop Isan Diaz. With Edwin Rios batting, Omar Estevez caught stealing 2nd base, catcher Max McDowell to second baseman Blake Allemand. Now 10 for 19 in throwing out base stealers. Dude is certainly on my fringe prospect radar.
  18. Santa Claus comes tonight! Will he deliver the player you wanted? Come discuss!
  19. I would assume that the Milwaukee Admirals would play there also. Its not NHL, but "almost". And I have a lot of friends that really enjoy the games (as did I when I lived in Milwaukee).
  20. Jake and Isan with two hit nights. Keep on boys, spring is warming up.
  21. Hey, don't forget about LL.net forum to discuss the NFL draft! If you don't have a login, being a BF.net member makes for easy approvals. Come join us and see what magic TT can pull of this year:
  22. It wouldn't surprise me if he sticks around for 3 years. He isn't a big trade target, but is playing OK. And no one is pushing him out.
  23. I don't think I can wait that long...
  24. Anderson vs. Wagner I personally saw this as us giving up more as a means for balancing out the Segura/Diaz portion of the trade. That isn't a knock on Anderson, just that I liked Wagner better. And its not that Wagner was special either. I think Wagner has a bit more upside (a #3) and he hasn't started his arby clock yet. Anderson has a higher floor (he has already proven he is a MLB pitcher), but more like a #4/5 and fewer years of team control. I guess it depends on what you like...
