    What was the result?
  2. CheezWizHed
    That must mean his medicals are trending pretty well. Or the O's system really stinks.

    I think the point that jerichoholicninja and JimH5 are trying to make is that if that holds true for the hitter, it should hold true for the pitcher too. Example (fictional numbers): If all pitchers that get 9Ks/9IP average 2.50 RA. Then the inverse is also true of the hitters. Teams hitting against those pitchers will only average 2.5 runs per game (who will also average 9k/9IP). For every run scored by the offense, a pitcher must give it up. For every K made by the pitcher, a batter must give it up. If Ks don't correlate to runs scored by a batter (which I'm in agreement), I'm not sure how they can correlate to runs not scored for the pitcher. The logic doesn't add up there. If there are actual numbers of significant sampling that state it does, I'd like to see that.

    At this stage of the roster, its more probable that we are keeping the best pumpkin and not releasing anything of significance.

    I don't have an issue with Houle and Leal splitting time in Brevard. Houle has all of 103 ABs above short season ball, so Biloxi is a big stretch for me. If either of the two do go to Biloxi, my guess would be Leal, but it would be difficult to say that either is ready. I think the problem with both is that they have very little experience in total at any level, so AA is a stretch. But it also sucks that both are best suited to be at A+. You don't start a catcher everyday, but you certainly want them both catching more than 50% of the time, too.

    Tom Haudricourt stated herethat he thought both Hunter and Cotts were cash back transactions: Q: Mike, Green Bay - Hey Tom, When do we find out who the PTBNL is in the Hunter Morris and Neal Cotts trades? I hoping for McCutchen and Sano. Thanks. A: Tom Haudricourt - I believe those both are going to be cash transactions but I will check and get back to you. Given the lack of any other player transactions that surely would've been mentioned by now, I would assume that is correct.

    Should be ignored.

    Third time is the charm.
  10. CheezWizHed
    Screw the field. Put him in the front office. Only Ivy League is good enough for our front office!
  11. CheezWizHed
    This is a better return than we got the first time we traded K-Rod...
  12. CheezWizHed
    Odd, I accidentally started looking for Zack Jones, but couldnt' find him. Baseball Reference, Fangraphs, and Milb.com all have him as Zach.
  13. CheezWizHed
    We got cash for that. So if you like, imagine that it was Cecchini. Serious question, are the Brewers turning into the A's? The next generation A's did cross my mind too...
  14. CheezWizHed
    Seriously, I'm discouraged that the franchise has fallen to the level where this type of signing has all of you so pumped. Only the dregs of baseball take discarded pieces like Cecchini on the hope that maybe what he did most recently was a mirage. I'm not sure if this is a Wisconsin type thing or not, but no matter the circumstances of the MLB talent, we have always gotten excited about the possibility of getting a player on the cheap and getting him to reach his peak. - Scotty Po - Casey McGehee - Fernando Vina Plus, I think the amount of moves right now has us all in a frenzy with a lot of board visits per day.
  15. CheezWizHed
    I guess I took Kalley's as: TCHEK kin ee - where the first syllable is the same as Czechoslovakia. And the second as "kin" (like my relative, my kin). Maybe Coshun will have company.
  16. CheezWizHed
    Some interesting thoughts: - Cecchini hit really well in the low minors when he was close to the age of his peers (-1.6 years from average to almost average). He struggled more in the high minors when he was -2.8 to -4.0 from average. Possible late bloomer? - Low minors, he played 3B 100%. But the last couple years, he bounced around a lot. Of course, his defense at 3B is probably dictating that. But that also could be a source of his hitting fluctuations. Poor defenders being forced to play multiple positions can be a stress point. Or he could just be struggling against higher competition. But I'll be happy to take that 258/361/452/813 line he put for Boston in 2014 at 3B or 1B this year.

    Hmmm... Baseball reference said: chick-KEE-nee

    pron: tchekkiney, or something in the neighborhood. Gratzie!

    Interesting guy. MiLB averages are: 2.83 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, 5.7H/9, 5.0BB/9, 12.8K/9 over 4 seasons, but only 130.1 IP. Is there such a thing as 3TO for pitchers? (except he only gave up 6 HR in 130.1 IP). As long as he misses bats and throws enough strikes, he might be able to stick in the pen. But if the MLB level can get some hits off him his BB rate will make it unsustainable. I doubt he ever comes in with men on base.
  20. CheezWizHed
    Can we change the title to reflect this is Zach Jones?
  21. CheezWizHed
    Doesn't look like it. Games started by position in minors: 2B - 332 GS LF - 76 GS 3B - 58 GS SS - 2 GS Thanks. I just looked into that myself. So some possibility at 3B, but not really much experience there either. This Walsh guy will get every opportunity to prove he can play otherwise there was no reason to select him. Pretty tough to just throw someone on the bench and never play in the national league. No disagreement there. But "opportunity" and "Scooter pack your bags" are two different things. And be careful quoting Scooter's numbers at the MLB level in comparison to Walsh's at AA. Walsh is a year older and Scooter's numbers in the MiLB level were very good too (save for the walks). I'm not a Scooter apologist, but I don't think its realistic to just assume Walsh will take his job. Lots of Rule 5 guys falter and are sent back. Oakland just traded away Lawrie at 2B, but still didn't protect this guy on the 40 man. Scooter probably should pay attention to his OBP more than worry about Walsh being handed his job.
  22. CheezWizHed
    Try to steal his beer and that is when he REALLY gets defensive...
  23. CheezWizHed
    My guess is that any Rule 5 selection will be slated to come off the bench (or BP for pitchers). So Walsh will probably compete for playing time at 2B/3B, but I doubt anyone expects him to start (i.e. he will have to earn it). Does the "OF" part of 2B/OF mean he can play CF?
  24. CheezWizHed
    #OnlyBrewersFansRemember I don't get it. Isn't it true? Or is this supposed to be about Lawrie telling the organization which position he was going to play? I remember watching the guy play 2B for the 'rattlers. Easy ground ball to his side, he barely moved, didn't get in front of it, did an Ole' with his glove and walked out to RF to take the cut-off from the RFer.
  25. CheezWizHed
    Fixed. To be fair, you could say almost the exact (minus the "big market") same thing about the Brewers. To some extent, yes. But the Cubs were truly experts at it. Having worked in Chicagoland for 8 years, the draw of ditching work in the middle of the day to go out to the game and drink was a pretty common occurrence for Cubs fans. It didn't matter if the team stunk or if Bartman was keeping them from winning it all. They were always full in the mid-day games. And even the Cubs fans themselves called Wrigley field a beer garden. Go to a mid-day Brewer game and its filled with school kids and empty seats.
