    if Fielder leaves next year the only lefty we will have is Morgan and Green would be the only lefty with any power at all. Gamel?

    to be trusted towards the end of the bullpen for the playoffs Peralta won't be eligible for the playoffs unless someone gets hurt. He wasn't on the 25-man roster (or MLB DL) on Aug 31st.
  3. CheezWizHed
    The way Fiers has been pitching, one would think that the Mets would have snapped him up earlier if he was on the PTBNL list...

    To borrow from Johnny Cash, "you can't hardly win, can you?" Just a bunch of arm-chair GMs trying to keep you humble! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif But this is still the best run sports forum I've ever seen and I've learned quite a bit here. Even if you do hate Jeff Housman... And since Fiers is right handed, shouldn't we compare him to Gregg Maddux instead? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif But I would think he could easily be a #4-5 SP at the MLB level.

    I'd now guess McClendon and either Khris Davis I'll second. I've been wondering if its Kh Davis for a while now.

    Its just the newest way for the Brewers to cheat... Backup traffic so the Cardinals are late leaving the park, get poor nights sleep, delay their room service and taxi pickups... They will be completely discombobulated tonight! Boy, we are sneaky!

    Your reading way too much into small sample numbers. Not really, I'm looking at his entire body of work: R+: 580 A: 474 A+ 459 AA: 406 AAA: 486 (420 home/ 555 away) I see a progression going the wrong direction. At 22, its quite possible that he made a jump in strength. But I think you are giving him too much credit for being 22 also. I don't think there is that much more he can increase his slugging going forward. Players obviously gain strength as they age, but he is leaving the point where there is much more development there (still some, but I think 22-23 is the "knee of the curve"). Gind has the best raw power of the group. This I seriously doubt. Schafer - yes. Green - probably not (wrist injury makes that hard to use history numbers). Gamel - not a chance. with a lightning quick bat, very good bat control, and a terrific eye. I've never heard anyone give him that much credit on bat speed, but otherwise I agree. His OBP numbers are great. The main problem comparing Gindl, Green and Schafer is that Green and Shafer play positions where there are lower offensive expectations. If all three hit 820 at their positions (Gindl in RF, Shafer in CF and Green at 3B), you: - Send Schafer to the all-star game - Congratulate Green for an excellent year at 3B. - Think about replacing Gindl in RF.

    I saw the bust version of Arnett tonight, as opposed to the supposedly resurgent version who earned himself a promotion to A-ball. I would imagine that they would try him in the BP sometime soon to see if he can consistently have that resurgent FB speed.
  9. CheezWizHed
    Being around #10 for Gindl sounds about right. His SLG numbers have dropped consistently through this MiLB progression, until this year. And looking closer at his splits, he is slugging 420 at Nashville and 555 for away games. Given the "wild west" numbers at AAA, I'm not convinced that he can continue his current 486 slugging numbers moving up to the MLB level. By constrast here are Schafer, Green, and Gamel's home/away slugging splits: Schafer: 488/513 Green: 541/624 Gamel: 621/502 edit - Blast! I'm too slow of a typer... Homer snuck that in on me. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    If you could have one guy. Taylor Green, Mat Gamel, Logan Schafer or Caleb Gindl? If your team is a blank slate, I would take Schafer. A decent defensive CF that can hit >.800 OPS is not that easy to find. He is probably also the lowest risk of those four. And even with Morgan, T-Plush, and Gomez ahead of him, he is the most valuable of the four and thus the best trade piece. I'd follow that with Green, Gindl and Gamel. Mainly looking at their ceiling at their position. A 850 OPS at 3rd base for Green is pretty good (border-line all-star). Where a 850 at 1B and 820-830 in RF isn't acceptable. Gamel gets an additional knock for being older.

    clancy, I used to like you... BAN HIM! BAN HIM I SAY!

    What is the point of this post? The point is quite simple. 90% of the time for the past 20 years, the only baseball interest the Brewers generated in late August was trades, rookies and what do we do in the offseason. I simply posted that I'm enjoying not doing that this year. No where did I castigate anyone for doing it. If you don't want to sound like a jerk, don't type like one.

    Also will give him a better chance to compete for the backup job in ST.

    Unfortunately, I did round up. The second strike would have to be 1/2 way to the plate... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif
  18. CheezWizHed
    I realize that this is a Brewer fan tradition (end of August and focused on next year), but I'm just happy to not only be in a playoff race, but leading the division. I'll wait until the offseason to make wild guesses about next year.
  19. CheezWizHed
    He was known in the minors as a weak throwing arm, but a quick release to compensate. No idea if that has improved (or worsened). And blocking balls seemed to be a weakness when he came up last year.

    Old friend Lorenzo Cain singles in the 7th... Curses! I knew we shouldn't have made that trade!
  21. CheezWizHed
    Here is my main concern about Gindl (which Sickels touches a bit): Slugging 07: Helena - 580 08: West Virginia - 474 09: Brevard - 459 10: Hunstville - 406 11: Nashville - 470 Sickels points that much out, but his home/away splits are pretty dramatic at Nashville: Home: 394 Away: 542 Those splits make me concerned that his SLG is induced mostly from the high air stadiums in the west.
  22. CheezWizHed
    JSOnline just finally picked up on that this morning... Come on, that's old news. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif
  23. CheezWizHed
    .25 - Tony LaRussa's nightly BAC? Bring that one back up around the bottom of the 7th inning with 1 out and 2 strikes on the game we clinch...
  24. CheezWizHed
    but it might make sense to bring him back on Sept 1 to get another option for the playoffs. All players on the MLB DL and the 25-man roster as of Sept 1 are eligible for the playoff roster.
  25. CheezWizHed
    Can we win 100 games? No! Absolutely NOT! (Is this the reverse karma thread?)
