    If Prince is traded and with man other capable infielders, what do you think of this lineup? Vs Righties 2B Lopez L 1B Weeks R 3B Gamel L LF Braun R RF Catalanotto L SS Counsell L CF Gerut L C Rivera R Pitcher Vs Lefties 2B Lopez R 1B Weeks R 3B McGahee R LF Braun R RF Hart R SS Escobar R CF Kapler R C Rivera R Pitcher I think if he is traded Lopez is a must sign. We have been screaming for a leadoff hitter for years. Weeks would probably do well at first. The rookies would not have the pressure of playing everyday, even though Gamel and Escobar would need to be played more than a true platoon situation. I would love to have Gabe K back in a Brewer uniform. If we have to lose Prince, I think this lineup can hit 160ish home runs and be adaquate with the pitching that Fielder and Hardy will return.

    This thread is about how to make us better in 2010. Bottom line is we need starting pitching. Bottom line is we need starting pitching. FA or trades, bottom line is we need starting pitching. In Free Agency , there is not much to like. If we trade, Prince and Hardy is the only logical option. Prince is selling high right now, Hardy low, and we need multiple (2-3) starting pitchers. To me it is a no brainer. I am sure most of you will disagree.

    He is only with us for the next two years. Where will we get the pitching from?

    Will Fielder ever be more valuable to another team than during this off season? Two year relatively cheap for a star. If we can get two young arbyless pitchers, I say do it. Will Hardy's or Hart's value ever be lower? Probably not. So we should keep both, but with Escobar looking ready, Hardy seems like the odd man out. Maybe we can get a Young 4-5 starter for him. Then resign Lopez and Counsell. along with not signing Cameron (Type B), Hoffman (Type B) and Kendall. I would love to cut Suppan, but after doing that with Hall, I don't think we can afford that. If we can make these trades and add 3 quality young arms and lose Fielder, we cannot expect much until 2011. But we will have a young and potentially potent team for the future. My lineup would look something like this...... 1. 2B Lopez 2. CF Weeks/Geruts 3. 1B Gamel 4. LF Braun 5. 3B McGahee 6 RF Hart/Catalanatto 7. C Rivera 8. P Pitcher 9. SS Escobar Bench Geruts Catalanatto Lucroy/ Salome Counsell Starting Pitchers 1. Gallardo 2. Young Stud #1 3. Bush 4. Parra 5. Young Stud #2 Bullpen LR Suppan LR Young Stud #3 Riske Stetter Coffey DiFelice Villanuava Braddock I think we could win 75- 80 games and be very exciting in 2011 and beyond.

    He has a very good arm and play better than average defense. If he can hit .250 with some power, he will be better than anything we have had in a number of years.

    Lee has an option for next year, so they really both have 1.5 years left. Sorry, I did not see that in Cot's.
  7. Mr Southpaw
    What would it take to get Cliff Lee and Victor Martinez? Lee, the rental and Martinez has one and 1/2 years left on a good contract (5.7 this year + 7.0 in 2010). I would start with Hart, Salome and Rivera (I doubt they would want Kendall), then add two prospects. Heather, Dillard, and other AAA players could round it out. I think the upgrade in hitting at the catcher position plus a partner for Yovani puts us past the cards and Cubs. Anybody have any thoughts?
  8. Mr Southpaw
    Haw about Willie Randolph. We can save money on the cost of a uniform.

    The year Braun played third base, he was Rookie of the Year. There are a bunch of players who have had poor fielding seasons, but not many of them hit like Braun. His fielding from two years ago just does not seem that important of a point, whatever side you are on. I am sure Gamel will be a better fielder and probably not as good of a hitter (I hope not).
  10. Mr Southpaw
    Can you say Suppan.
  11. Mr Southpaw
    Why would you want that trash from Atlanta? Hart is double the worth of the three combined.

    It was Furcal. Being in Atlanta, the Braves fans were very upset. If I were a GM, I would make an offer expire in 24 hours or something like that. Letting it hang there just gives agents a chance to be more greasy than they normally are.

    Time to jump on the Kelly Johnson Bandwagon. From what I hear, they want to put KJ in left field. Trade them Hart for KJ and figure out right field later. If it takes more than Hart add a A level prospect pitcher. Brewer fans, after watching KJ for the last three years ....you will be very happy with Kelly.

    I think we could end up with an unexpected player starting at 3B...kind of like when Melvin landed Corey Koskie a couple years back. I think something is brewing, though we won't know for a while. Hinske, See my post in Transitions-Christmas List. Home state boy, very versatile 3rd, 1st, outfield. He has a better average than RB and we do not lose much in power. I see Melvin going with Lamb. I don't have much confidence in that.
  17. Mr Southpaw
    Everyone keeps saying all we have to do is upgrade third base and we'll be fine, but nobody says how we can significantly upgrade it. How about Eric Hinske at 3rd with Hall? He can play the outfield and 1st base, hits for a better aveage than Branyon and you still get about the same power. He is not a long term answer, but a year or two would allow Gamel/Green to reach the majors. Plus he is from Wisconsin. If I werw GM, I would offer... Edmunds 1 year $7 mil Hinske 2 years $5.5-6 mil Hoffman 1 year $6 mil Sheets 2 years 20 mill plus incentives and trade Cameron and Suppan for Cabrera and a young pitcher (McAlister/Melancon) Starting Lineup vs Righties vs Lefties Cabrera Cabrera Hardy Hardy Braun Braun Fielder Fielder Edmunds Hart Hinske Hall Weeks Weeks Kendall Kendall Pitcher Pitcher Bench Rivera, Edmunds/Hart, Hinske/Hall, plus one more Starters Relievers Sheets Hoffman Gallardo Villy Parra Riske Bush Coffey McClung Stetter L Swindle L Dillard Pena/DeFelice Rounding off, came to less than $80 mil for next year, with a balanced lineup and a another young stud like pitcher at AA with Jefferies. It gives us a better than average team with tons of flexibility now and into the future. .

    Kelly Johnson for Weeks as the primaries would be awesome. He can bat almost anywhere in the order. Any thoughts?
  19. Mr Southpaw
    If I were Melvin, I would do this...5 year 122.5 million Year 1 20 Million Year 2 22.5 Million Year 3 25 Million Year 4 25 Million with a player and team option with a 5 million team buyout. If CC is still hot, he can walk and make a bundle more. If he burns out it only cost 5 million to get out of a bad contract. Year 5 30 Million with a 10 million team buyout. CC is will get at least 72.5 million if he burns out at three years and 102.5 million if he burns out at four years. I know it is a lot of money for a small market, but it sure helps our pitching (as long as he does not get hurt in year 1-3) until some of the youngsters make it to the majors. Feel free to move the numbers around.
