    My bet is that one is not playing for the Brewers next year and is added to a trade in the offseason. The other is at AAA.
  2. CheezWizHed
    I'm not sure where to look for this, but with Counsell having a pretty good season, is there a chance he becomes a type B FA?
  3. CheezWizHed
    I'm confused why the Reds want Hall... they are the only team he hits! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

    Did anyone REALLY think his veggie diet contributed to the slow start last year? I think it was just something to mainly make jokes about. Perhaps there was concern that in switching diets, he was not getting a good diet (anyone who eat poorly with or without meat won't perform well), but I think people harping on the veggie part was mainly for laughs.

    LoL.. The trivia question at the stadium last night.. " Which Nashville Sound has played the most positions this year..?" Answer.. Adam Heether.. SEVEN...!! 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, RF, LF, PSo does he have the speed for CF? We have a hole for 2010... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif
  6. CheezWizHed
    CJ, any hints on whether they will be signing 2010 contracts at this point?
  7. CheezWizHed
    Well of course there are the numerical rankings for speed, defense, power, average, etc... I just wasn't sure how detailed you guys got with rankings. I realize the P50 is more of a "fun" ranking than a serious ranking and definitely appreciate the hard work you guys put in here. My baseball "background" says to scout with eyes. But my engineering-style mind says to measure/quantify without bias. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    It seems like just about everyone in our MiLB was either injured, returning from injury, getting suspended, or just having a bad year this year... or is it just me?

    Fielder only spent the interleague games in MLB. Otherwise, he was in AAA the full year. Granted, it was only because he was blocked. Hardy had 26 games at AAA. If we had another option at SS, he would have had more. At the time of writing, Escobar was in AAA (well, I hadn't heard anyway...). Some would argue he could use the full year. And I listed Parra and Gamel as partial years in AAA. Hardy is an interesting case in this arguement. I seem to remember this discussion happening back around the time he was called up (why play at AAA, he hit at AA and we need him now). Too bad, my time machine is broke so we can't go back and leave him in AAA longer to see if it would have helped. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    Is it just me or should Ken Macha be coaching the SF Giants? Then he can run out Kendall and Counsell and whomever else is beyond the normal playing years every day to his heart's content. I guess on the up-side, McGehee finally gets to play every day. Can't put Counsell in front of him now, if he is busy keeping Escobar on the bench. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

    We should be calling Bosio up to pitch...

    Hall's WAR 0.2 Suppan's WAR -0.3 This isn't Hall vs. Suppan. Its Hall vs. other Utility players (Heether, Bourgeois, etc..) and Suppan vs other SPs (Dillard, Burns, etc...).

    Maybe I missed a point in skipping pages 3 and 4 of this thread. But wouldn't he be more valuable to a team if traded in the offseason with 2 years of control instead of a one year rental? I'm really expecting a trade out of this, mainly because Melvin said he didnt'... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

    It sounds like for the most part, everyone is arguing on the same side. The main difference seems to be some think AA to AAA is a 1 inch step, while others a 4 inch step (compared to a 4 foot step to the MLB). I thought TheCrew summed up AAA pitching very well. I was curious about the service time of our MLB squad at AAA, so I did some digging: Partial season at AAA: Braun, Gallardo, Hardy, Gamel, Parra, and Weeks - Gamel Single season at AAA: Fielder (blocked by O) Multiple at AAA(non injury): Hart, Hall, Villanueva, Stetter, Iribarren It seems that the Brewers still use AAA as a proving ground before you get to the MLB. If you succeed there, we move you up in a short manner (unless blocked). But there are some prospects that struggle at AAA. This season: Cody: Small sample, but was dominating AA and under Salome: Improving as the season goes along, but again dominated AA (hopefully coach is correct and this is only injury related) I really couldn't recall any high prospect that succeeded at AA and dropped to be a low/non-prospect at AAA. I'm sure they are there but not many. Conclusion: The step is small. The size of the step is semantics.

    Colby, have you guys (the P50 crew) ever thought about displaying a score for each player showing their production vs. potential? That way we see more of the thinking behind the ranking? So someone like Anundsen or Cody gets most of their rankings from production (not that they don't have potential, but has some limitations), while someone like Frederickson and Brewer would be the opposite. Seems like that would clear up some of these P50 arguements, but also would probably be a lot more work on your end... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif just a thought.

    MLB people think he they can teach a guy to throw strikes. Well, in two years the Brewers have not been sucessful in teaching Evan to throw strikes (yes I know he was never high on the Power 50, but my point is he should not even be on the list). Wow. How long did it take Randy Johnson to throw strikes? I'm not saying Evan=Randy, but give him some time. I can understand saying he needs to be lower on the P50 (even if I don't necessarily agree). But to say he doesn't deserve to be on it at all is rather extreme. He is boom or bust pick, sure. We knew that. But teaching someone to repeat their delivery consistently does take years. But his upside is very good if he can figure it out. Frankly, production for pitchers means very little to me prior to AA. I'd prefer Evan to have a 2.00 ERA, but I'm not worried about it (for now) that he doesn't. Keep developing and working on the delivery. Then the numbers will follow.

    While I agree that AA and AAA are pretty close to the same level, it still isn't equal. There are players that jump from AA to MLB, but very few. I can't think of the last Brewer to do that (and stick in the MLB). Why: 1) In AA, you have a group of players that won't survive the jump from A+ to AA. That group makes BAs and ERAs look better for the rest. 2) In AAA, most of the future MLB stars will still course through AAA. Some won't stay long (Braun), but some stay the whole season (Fielder). Plus, all the AAAA players are there also. They tend to be lower talent (generalization), but smarter players. To me, the biggest talent jumps are from AAA to MLB (simply because the best players stay there), then A+ to AA. But AA to AAA is a talent jump, no matter how you look at it.

    I know they were waiting for the non-waiver trade deadline, so maybe they are still holding out hope. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif But I concur with 'Rillo and looking forward to the next one.
  19. CheezWizHed
    maybe he was 49-51, but now 50-50... thus heading towards 51-49. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

    You would think that the Sounds marketing would be throwing freebees at the newpaper reporters to get them to attend more games or simply write some more. Having articles in the sports section is free advertizing for the team. The LaCrosse Loggers have articles in the paper and highlights on the news all the time.
  21. CheezWizHed
    At some point, he may be starting at MLB this year! I'm not sure if I should put that in blue or not...
  22. CheezWizHed
    Nothing has been the same since Molitor left... Yount, Sveum, Yost, Gumby, even Storman' Gorman has been back. We need the Ignitor!
  23. CheezWizHed
    Counsell is having a great year. For Counsell. Problem is, he wasn't hitting better than Gamel, when Gamel was sitting. Now, he isn't hitting better than McGehee, but McGehee is sitting. His 10 game hitting streak has caught him up to about where Lopez is on the season: McGehee: .319 .372 .524 .896 Counsell: .296 .363 .426 .789 Lopez: .309 .369 .417 .786 Now, if Counsell were starting at SS...

    I'm normally really patient. Thought the fire Macha rants were way too early. However recent decisions really have changed my mind: 1) Craig Counsell: Love the guy. Great team player, great backup. However, Macha is missing that last point. He is a backup. First he starts instead of Gamel, and now its McGehee. I can't believe Counsell is getting that many starts. 2) Dillard vs. CV: If depth of BP is your main problem and getting a long start in important, why not start Dillard? If Dillard has only a 25% chance of reaching the 6th inning, thats 25% more chance than CV does. Dillard is no world-beater, but he is stretched out. If CV lasts 4 innings it will be a miracle. 3) I've softened on Suppan a bit. I was mad last night, but Macha has to use him. Still upset, but not completely mad. 4) Kendall: see multiple other posts. I can't see Macha being fired unless things really get bad in the clubhouse or something. Problem is, you fire Yost just before the playoffs, then fire Macha after one year (or less). Who would want to come manage here?
  25. CheezWizHed
    I think at this point, its that he is next in line... He did ok as a reliever last year and ok as a AAA starter, and everyone else ahead of him flopped, so... here he is. I was rooting for him to make the BP out of ST, but holding low expectations as a SP. Maybe having Kendall as a catcher will make him better. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif
