    Yuni and Gonzalez as the corner infielders..... that is hilarious.
  2. chickinbrickin
    Off topic, but does anyone else think Khris Davis should be sent down? I am pretty sure the team/team's future is getting no benefit from having him sit on the pine and get a PH here and there.
  3. chickinbrickin
    Wow on that replay I don't think they were even close to getting Gonzalez at home. EDIT: Looked like he got him on the elbow. Nevermind.
  4. chickinbrickin
    Unless it is a Ranger on opening day.
  5. chickinbrickin
    Can't put that on the bullpen. Only issue was gonzo issuing a leadoff walk. Rest of the inning was pure luck for the Rockies.
  6. chickinbrickin
    One run isn't bad considering the situation he was in.
  7. chickinbrickin
    Gotta love having a 5' nothing guy at first.

    I'm pumped baseball is back. Going to miss having that sub $30 million dollar payroll in the NL Central. I do like the Astros new unis though.

    Haha, glad to see I am not the only one who invested in Jeffress. http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww232/Crewfan82/Brewers%20Prospects/jeffresspara.jpg

    That SP Yount Auto is awesome. Here are a few of my current favorites. Sorry for the large scans. Too lazy to resize tonight. http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww232/Crewfan82/Brewers%20Stuff%20Current%20and%20HOF/refracto95.jpg http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww232/Crewfan82/Brewers%20Stuff%20Current%20and%20HOF/gallardosterling95.jpg http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww232/Crewfan82/Brewers%20Prospects/PeraltaBlue95.jpg http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww232/Crewfan82/Brewers%20Prospects/lucroygold95.jpg

    I am not a fan of this signing. Yes the young guys didn't do the best this spring, but does Lohse really get this team any more than 2-3 additional wins over anyone? Just smells like another aging SP signing fail to me. Hope he is amazing, but I only see him regressing over the next three years, while eating up a rotation spot that a higher upside young SP should have.
  12. chickinbrickin
    Like the top 5. I hope Lucroy thrives in the 5 spot so he doesn't get dropped down the lineup when Hart is back to full strength.
  13. chickinbrickin
    I think the whipping boy this year will be Rogers as well. I would love to see him do well, but I don't see happening. When he starts walking guys like it is his job people will be calling for his head.
  14. chickinbrickin
    Khris Davis with a long ball. Pumped about Gindl so far this spring. Good to see him bouncing back after a down year.
  15. chickinbrickin
    I don't understand this logic. What do you have against Aoki? If he has the same season he had last year, how can you hope he loses his job? Aoki seems to get no respect from the majority of posters here. I like the guy. Yeah, the only reason I can see for hoping that would happen would be to move Aoki over to CF is Gomez plays like, we'll, Gomez. Aoki is the man

    My god, Gamel cannot catch a break. Green needs to step up now. I know Gonzo will get PT there, but Green has to carry the load IMO.
  17. chickinbrickin
    Can't wait to hear what he has to say. It will be pretty hard for him to stand up and deny it all over again, but I am sure that is what he will do.
  18. chickinbrickin
    http://tracking.si.com/2013/02/06/brewers-ryan-braun-name-shows-up-in-clinic-records/?sct=hp_t2_a10&eref=sihp So he is linked to the clinic but not to PEDs in the same report that links other people directly to PEDs. Am I reading that correctly> It does indicate he owed Bosch 20-30K. Those would be some pretty expensive vitimins.
  19. chickinbrickin
    I completely agree. Prado will be missed. He can play every position well and will hit .300 and have an ops pushing .800. He had a better year than j upton last year. As for BJ, that guy is a career underachiever. What is so great about a .255 career hitter who has some pop? I would just as we'll have Carlos Gomez. Same player basically, only difference is the price tag. I think the braves are going to regret investing so much in the upton brothers.
  20. chickinbrickin
    Gamel will surprise this year mark my words. I just feel it in my gut, and my gut is never wrong. He will be the 2012 version of Aoki except he will produce from day one.
  21. chickinbrickin
    While I'm bummed about the injury I am pumped for Gamel. I still think he can be very good. Everything has gone wrong for him so far, and I feel like it was meant to be that he gets his shot.
  22. chickinbrickin
    He has a career .296 wOBA, which is pretty bad for a 1B/OF. Granted it's still a small sample, but he has had brief chances across four consecutive seasons and just has never looked that good, imo, not even in small bursts. Yeah his minor league numbers are solid, but that doesn't always translate. In contrast, for example, Ishikawa has a career .320 wOBA and is a plus defender at 1B. I thought Gamel looked really good last year before his injury. He is a great base runner and is the definition of a baseball player. He has never had a chance to get enough ABs for the production to show. He had an LD% over 29%, and has never been below 26% any year of his career. Over time his luck will come around and the production will be there. Yes, I do think that LD% will come down over the course of a full season. Don't trade him. He has value off the bench.
  23. chickinbrickin
    Logan82 I think you greatly undervalue Lucroys bat. He is much more than just a good hitter for a catcher. He is one of the best young catchers in baseball and I think he will actually improve on his 2012 numbers. He may not be at or above .320, but I expect his power numbers to improve and for him to maintain a .300 avg. I agree with you that a position move decreases his value. I think Luc is as untradeable as Braun or Yo.

    I should have titled this thread a bit differently. I too think a cap wouldn't really work. There just needs to be more revenue sharing of the large TV contacts. Also, no one is saying a large payroll guarantees anything. Now with more teams spending huge money on payroll it is going to get harder and harder for the small markets to compete. Yes, there will be the occasional playoff appearance for a Baltimore, Pittsburg, or Milwaukee but they will be few and far between. One bad free agent signing for a large market team is just a drop in the ocean. One swing and miss in a small market probably cripples the team for 5 years. IMO, big spending in baseball is bad if only a handful of teams can afford to do it.
  25. chickinbrickin
    I think the spending in the MLB is starting to get way out of control, and it is going to start ruining the game if something doesn’t happen soon. Now that the Dodgers, Blue Jays and Cubs are joining the spending spree; $130 million+ payrolls are becoming the norm. The small market teams always needed to be more careful than the clubs with deep pockets, but now a bad signing could sink a small market team for years. I have always despised this aspect of the game, but I could deal with it when it was just the Yankees and the Red Sox dishing out tons of money to compete with each other. Now it is just getting ridiculous.
