This is great news!!! Lets go Scooter!!!!

I agree Splitter / BrewCrew. The trade Braun stuff is ridiculous. HOF players don't grow on tree's. And at the end of the day Attanasio isn't going to trade his main guy and go in full re-build mode after what he has built over the last decade. I just don't see that happening.

I am sure I am missing a few names. But at the end of the day, accountability has to be uphelp and those responsible for scouting, development and general oversight should be fired. I am very close to just saying fire them all! Here are some names, which I believe to be more important than just replacing Doug Melvin. Front office list: http://milwaukee.brewers.mlb.com/team/front_office.jsp?c_id=mil. (Maybe place this link near top of this page: http://www.brewerfan.net/ViewScoutingMap.action?draftId=5) Reid Nichols Position: Director of Playor Development Length at Position: 2002. Links: http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=5927 Comments: He has done a great job through 2005 when we drafted Braun. Then, ummmm ya, a whole lot of nothing. (I guess LaPorta and Lawrie worked out well for trades) ... Maybe it is time for him to be fired? Bruce Seid Position: Director of Amateur Scouting Length at Position: 2008. Links: http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/seidscouting.html?17237, http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/34211659.html Comments: Replaced Jack Zduriencik. Has been involved with scouting for 11 years in Brewers system prior to 2008 promotion. Jim Rooney Position: National Pitching Crosschecker Length at position: 2008 Links: http://mlb.mlb.com/content/printer_friendly/mil/y2008/m12/d02/c3698991.jsp Comments: Really no idea how this guy keeps his job. What has our pitching done since 2008? Fire this guy Rick Tomlin Position: Minor League Roving Pitching Coordinator Length at Position / Background: 2012 - Mets fired him after 1 season (2011 - see link). Held same position with Yankee's from 02-04. Links: http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/mets/post/_/id/34873/mets-minor-league-pitching-coordinator-out http://milwaukee.brewers.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20121218&content_id=40724806&c_id=mil Comments: Mets saw enough of him after 1 year. Not sure what he is bringing to the table in his 2nd year here. Hard to assess I guess. Maybe a push? But I would probably fire him. Others: Scott Martens Position: Business Manager/Player Development & Minor League Ops Length: Been with team (Various positions) since before Melvin. Link: http://milwaukee.brewers.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20081024&content_id=3642848&c_id=mil Tom Flanagan Position: Senior Director, Baseball Operations Length: Been with team (various positions) since before Melvin Comments: Same as Scott, maybe time for a new guy Joe Ferrone Position: National Cross checker Length: 2010 Comments - Fire him. Who scouted these players? Eric Arnett - Mike Farrell Position: Still in same position. Dylan Covey Scouted by: The Brewers have been scouting him since spring 2009. Area scout Dan Huston and West Coast crosschecker Corey Rodriguez saw Covey extensively, as did Seid and his assistant, Ray Montgomery. The Brewers also sent roving crosschecker Jim Rooney, a former Major League pitcher, to meet with Covey. Link: http://milwaukee.brewers.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20100607&content_id=10914802&c_id=mil Comments. Huston, Rodriguez, Seid and Rooney are all still in their same position. Montgomery is no longer with the Brewers. Taylor Jungmann Scouted by: Jeremy Booth. No longer with the Brewers. http://seattle.mariners.mlb.com/news/print.jsp?ymd=20120105&content_id=26267472&c_id=sea Link: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20110606&content_id=20121882&c_id=mil Jed Bradley Scouted by: Couldn't find a link. Steve Smith is current scout responsible in the area. In the end. There are a lot of people responsible for us not having 1, not 1, great first round pick since Lawrie. (Coulter / Roache - TBD). Fire them all. Fired, fired, fired. I want some accountability.

I understand both sides - it's not like the Brewers were giving him a max deal ... It's just another reason why locking up hall of fame players and retaining them forever is good business. And why I never want to see Braun leave

Ah ... Nope - just tacking onto our haven't had a lead streak. Hey that works too

No Problem. Hopefully the Crew can get on one of those ol winning streaks

I heard Gomez has now bat in every spot in the lineup except the 9 hole

2013-05-30 Brewers (Lohse) at Twins (Walters), 7:10 PM CDT Brewers (19-32) | Twins (22-28) FSWI | WTMJ 620 Kyle Lohse 1-5, 4.94 ERA PJ Walters 1-0, 3.00 ERA Starting Lineups CF Carlos Gomez SS Jean Segura LF Ryan Braun DH Aramis Ramirez C Jonathan Lucroy 1B Yuniesky Betancourt RF Logan Schaffer 2B Rickie Weeks 3B Jeff Bianchi

Car is Twins ... Bear is Brewers ... Sorry PETA http://deadspin.com/bear-gets-throttled-by-moving-car-gets-up-like-its-no-510447523?autoplay=1

The draft is a week away, really stinks the Brewers signed lohse and gave up our 1st round pick. Here is the draft order: http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/events/draft/y2013/order.jsp The Brewers first pick is at 54. But then have a competitive balance pick at 72 and then their 3rd rounder at 90. I just learned the Yankee's have 3 first round picks. Awesome. I think for this years draft the Brewers first 10 picks should be pitchers. Take a page out of the Packers draft from last year when they drafted all defense.

I agree with this. Unless some team is stupid enough to give us 2 top 10 rated MiLB pitchers. It is idiotic to think trading Braun is a good idea. I want no part of it. He will continue to be a 300 hitter for 6+ years. If we do a correct rebuild we could be back in contention in 2-3 years. Trade Hart this year (hopefully he comes back and hits the cover off the ball) ... Trade Ramirez next year and maybe Lohse. Weeks walks. The trades and our current system + draft picks over the next 2 years hopefuly gives us something. In the end take Braun, Gomez, Segura and Lucroy and build a new team around them for the 2015 season. This year is lost and next year probably is too.

9 - 18

Yuni is just clueless up there - when does Hart come back?

I went to a game at Target Field (non Brewers game) a few years ago and we went to Kierans. It was recommended by my cousin who lives in the area and attends a lot of Twins games. Irish bar, lots of space and a great outdoor patio. We had so much fun we didn't make it in until the 2nd inning. We never left the patio until we headed into the game. I highly recommend this place. http://kierans.axisapp.com/ As for food I was told Pork on a stick (inside stadium near CF) is a must but I thought it was dry and not that great.

I was at the game yesterday where a friend purchased a Uecker Shirzey. The question I have is, why is he number 9? My confusion starts because he was #8 when he was with the Milwaukee Braves. He was #9 when he was with the Cardinals So why did the Brewers pick 9 over 8? (Especially when he never wore that number here?) Was it because Braun wears 8? And now Segura wears 9? So does he need a new number now? Label me confused.

Anything would be better than what we have going on at first now ... Why not just try him until Hart is back? ... I guess the roster juggling is the issue but I would like to see him up Any word on Harts return?

Tweet from@AdamMcCalvy: what's Weeks at with RISP you ask? weeks is 3-for-40, 15k overall; 0-for-20, 10k w/ 2 outs and RISP Whoohoo - sounds like a guy I would keep trotting out there

All I know is Weeks would have never made that play ... Way to go Bianchi
