    Most people probably recognize that Molina head-to-head is a better defensive catcher than Lucroy. But factoring in his missing couple months, it makes it a more interesting discussion. Stating that if you don't agree with my opinion, then you are stupid is pretty lowbrow...

    What are the thoughts of Juan Lagares over Gogo? I don't know Lagares, but I thought Gogo was the odds-on favorite. Did his offensive swoon cause him to lose it? (half-blue)

    If everything goes right, Lucroy.

    I skipped several pages of commentary here... but: - If the Brewers hadn't made that trade and kept Cain/Escobar/Ordorizzi/Jeffress, would we have made the WS this year? - Was that trade the ONLY thing that pushed KC to the WS? I think no on both fronts. The Brewers maximized the future benefit of the younger players in 2011 with Grienke when they had the best chance at the WS. KC maximized the present (as of 2011) benefit of Grienke by gaining talent for 2014. That is how small market teams have to operate to get into the playoffs. Neither team has the resources to be perennial WS contenders. I'm happy for both the Brewers and KC on this trade.

    Don't use poison. Use traps. With poison they wander off, die and stink up the place. De-con dehydrates the mouse so they leave the building (assuming there is no water source there) and look for water, where they die. I've used snap traps in my garage and continually empty them week after week. I switched to De-con and the mouse damage stopped. I've not found one dead mouse. You just have to keep the De-con away from places dogs, cats or kids are near. FYI, garter snakes will eat insects and toads. They are too small for mice.

    Call Samuel Jackson of course!

    They'll still be in the lottery next spring, but I don't think the ticket buying public will buy another 15 win effort. If it was still Herb Kohl the owner, I'd agree. But with some young players to watch develop and new leadership (owners and coaches), I think they'll get some leeway as they tear-down and build back up. They might need some minor league tactics to fill the seats, but I think people will be lenient this year on the actual on-the-court product.

    I can't see Delmonico being a deserving candidate, suspension or not.

    [sarcasm]How is bensheeps going to explain this to his son???[/sarcasm]

    He said the emphasis on using the whole field to hit must begin with organizational teaching in the low minors. “You can’t make the same impact with guys already at the major league level,” he said. Wait... Didn't SI just post about how Braun is hitting the other way more now? ... you can’t put the shortstop in short leftfield because the throw is too long – shifts are killing one type of hitter in particular: the lefthanded pull hitter with little speed. [sarcasm]Of course, the real solution is to allow Left handed hitters to run to 3rd base first. That will solve everything.[/sarcasm]

    I printed that article, rolled it up in a ball and let my cats swat it around the house like a toy mouse. After they got done with it I threw it in the garbage. Best use of a Buster Olney article I could think of.... You could have lined the litter box with it....
  12. CheezWizHed
    We need Brooks Kieschnick back for that...
  13. CheezWizHed
    Yes, that is what I meant by people filling out the full P50 have greater influence on the tail end. Also rememeber, this isn't a scientific poll. Its for fun. Trying to make things easy and increase participation is probably more important than figuring out if Player A that is ranked at #25 should really be #24. Don't let perfection be the enemy of good enough.

    I didn't really follow Kidd as a coach. Any know know what kind of coaching style he has? Defensive/offensive systems?
  15. CheezWizHed
    Estrada doesn't have a future as a SP with the Brewers. Fiers might not be any better, but could be MUCH better. But at least you can get a sense of what his future by giving him a few starts. Why not let Fiers have a couple starts? Fiers has pitched every bit as good as Nelson at AAA this year.
  16. CheezWizHed
    If you rate everyone's #1 pick at 50 points, #2 at 49, etc..., people can do 20, 25, or 50 without messing up the rankings. That was how I did it a few years back. The only real negative is that people that that rank all 50 have a pretty heavy influence on the tail end.

    Is there anything gained by a team drafting an unsignable HS player? Is there any relationship started that might help them in a future draft? Or do teams do that as a way to "throw away" a late pick that they don't have to spend any money on signing?
  18. CheezWizHed
    At 6'5", you have to wonder if Gatewood will stick at SS himself. Neuhaus was moved to 3B or at least part time. And there are always good trading partners if you have too many SSs that can hit.

    I'm guessing the Brewers had a pretty good idea as to what the overslots would sign for. As others have said, they don't take many chances with the upper picks. I actually thought Harrison would be the hardest to sign. So this was a surprise for me. I would imagine Medeiros already has a pre-draft deal as that would be the easiest to predict.
  20. CheezWizHed
    Because NFL and NBA don't make MLB rules? NBA used to allow players go back to college if they didn't hire an agent. But the drafting team retained the rights. I think the NHL does something similar.
  21. CheezWizHed
    Well, if it helps at all. One of the radio announcers mentioned that when a team is leading their division on Memorial Day (which the Brewers will be tomorrow), they make the playoffs 62% of the time.
  22. CheezWizHed
    I do too. He has pitched lights out at all levels of pro ball; only struggling early last year at the MLB level. I'm sure Thornburg or Nelson will be called up first if we need a SP at the MLB ball, but I still think Fiers is MLB SP worthy.

    There were 80k+ of my closest friends and I braving zero degree temperatures that disagree that the Packers couldn't have won the SB. With their defense they weren't favorites, but I'd say they were about the 4th best (behind Seahawks, 49ers and Broncos). I did concern with some people on whether it was wise for Rodgers to return or go on IR; Basically questioning if he was fully recovered or not. But the Bear fan that watched the final game of the season with me will attest that I wasn't cheering for the Packers to lose... If you are in the NBA, there are some VERY good reasons why you would rather be the 9th seed (out of playoffs, in the lottery) than the 8th seed (in the playoffs). The NBA has 4-5 VERY good teams and then the rest. The chance of getting the #1 pick is worth missing the playoffs for a one and done. But in the MLB and NFL, a team getting hot at the end of the season (especially when you have good pitching or a good QB) can easily run the table and win the SB. Wildcards don't do it often, but its enough to be a realistic chance. Plus the intangible benefits to the NFL/MLB playoffs is greater than increasing your draft pick by one spot. The revenue of the playoff game, the experience for the team, plus it makes the team more desireable to the players if you make the playoffs often.

    When a team isn't supposed to bunt in the FIRST INNING, there's no unwritten rule about that. But evidently there was... That is the problem with unwritten rules. No one knows all of them because they aren't written... or made up as you feel "slighted."

    I suppose if he plays well, Brewer fans will love him and other fans hate him. If he plays poorly, everyone will be annoyed. Personally, I think its ridiculous that pitchers get mad when someone watches a home run. Sorry, you just served up a gopher-ball. You don't have a say anymore. And they call the NFL the no-fun-league? Gomez should do a Miller-leap next time he hits a homer!
