Everybody has their own opinion on this. Just understand by trading Fielder the Brewers would probably be rebuilding for a couple years down the road. Unless somehow they get a deal they can't refuse that includes Mlb ready prospects. I have a strong feeling that DM won't trade Fielder if 1.) it means they have to rebuild. AND 2.) If it doesn't include top Mlb ready prospects that could help out Immediately.
-
How is that dumb? Is it really dumb to hold on to Prince if he is keeping the team in a contending position? I don't think so. The trade scenario I posted would be the only one I wold do for Prince Fielder unless some one can think of a better one. Why? Because Justin Smoak and Neftali Feliz are mlb ready prospects. There not a couple years away from the Majors, and they would fill a big pitching void and 1B void by losing Fielder. Keeping the Brewers is possible contention.
-
The problem with this line of thinking is that we have no way of knowing if those two guys are even available. I fear that some fans are getting their expectations for a Fielder trade a bit too high.This is the only trade proposal I have heard that makes sense for the Brewers and the other team involved. Who cares if they are available? seriously.. Name a better proposal. If there isn't a better proposal, then if these players are not available, then hold on to Fielder and get 2 first round picks. That's the way I'm looking at it.
-
The only trade I think I would accept for Fielder would be Prince Fielder to Texas Rangers for Justin Smoak AND Neftali Felez. I might even consider Prince Fielder and a low level high ceiling pitching prospect for Smoak and Felez if Fielder alone isn't enough. I wouldn't want to trade Fielder for a top pitcher only, because who will fill in at 1B and make up for some of Fielders production if we lose him? This seems like a win win for both teams. Even at mid-season this could work out and I wouldn't call it rebuilding if the Brewers were to do it. In fact these prospects I believe are Mlb ready.
-
The Brewers should go cheap and young in the bullpen and use that money to re-sign Gallardo. They are spending 10 million on 60IP of relief in Hoffman and Hawkins. That money would be better served to sign/extend Gallardo.
-
Thank you. Edit: Suppan moving to the Pen might add 1-2 mph to his fastball. Might work out.
-
Who cares? He is better than Vargas, but few others that will make the MLB roster. No idea where this comes from. In Ennder's scenario it appears he would be in the pen as the long man. No reason to trade or move Suppan unless there is big money savings.You didn't answer the most important question.. Would the Brewers move Suppans 12.5 million to the pen? Right now, I highly doubt it. I hope I'm wrong. Yes I know what Ender's point was. Just trying to broaden the discussion and connect the dots and make sense of it all.
-
So do you think Suppan would be ok with a move to the pen? Or you think the Brewers would move Suppan and his 12.5 million to the pen? In your scenario he would have to be or released/traded. I'm not so sure. I'm kinda thinking he will be given a spot in the starting rotation because he is making so much money.
-
I'm pretty sure Parra and Narveson are both out of options. One of them has to make the team. Looks like Manny Parra and I doubt he gets put in the pen.
-
It's not adding up. I completely agree. Also to prove your point even further Hardy was so bad they had to demote him to AAA. Also, look at what Escobar did in Milwaukee while Hardy was in AAA. The only downgrade I can see on offense is Gomez compared to Cameron. That's it. These projections are going to prove to be way off. At least that is my opinion.
-
I just bought 2 9-packs yesterday and I already have been charged. I also know my seats and everything. Got opening day as my 10th game. All over the phone.
-
If the Brewers can stay competitive with the rest of the division for the first 2-3 months of the season, then I'd expect 3 million tickets to be sold by seasons end.
-
Prince Fielder could always get a big time deal as a DH.
-
If you think about it.. There will be about 20 million freed up after 2010, but only 10 million of it would need to be used to sign Prince Fielder. That's if Prince Fielder gets 20.5 million a year. Fielder already makes 10.5 million this year.
-
Reds fans probably thought the same thing back in 2000 when they signed Ken Griffey Jr to a big free agent contract. But the "best" thing that it did was cripple the franchise financially for years and prevent them from fielding a competitive team. The article doesnt really seem to say too much. Fielder, smartly, is keeping a low profile about the whole thing. Reality of the matter is that if the team is anywhere near what Pecota has projected for the Brewers on July 31, 2010, Fielder will probably be dealt to a team in contention for a very nice, farm system revitalizing, prospect laden deal. It's a risk I'm more then willing to take. The Brewers seem like they are in a really good position to do so with 24 million coming off the books after this coming season, and all of the quality depth in their system. I don't think the odds are in the Brewers favor, but who knows they might be able to pull it off. I'm anxious to see what happens. All the Brewers can do is come to the table with a ton of cash and see if Prince accepts it. If they don't come with the intention of spending big, then they better not come at all.
-
If Doug Melvin ends up signing Fielder to long term extension that would shock the baseball world. That would also be the best thing to happen to the Milwaukee Brewers organization in a long time.

I don't think anything Rickie Weeks does is really a surprise even though he hasn't yet. Talent-wise, he's right there with Braun and Fielder. What it will take for him to put together a season that matches his talent is the question. Those numbers are a little extreme though. My surprise is Escobar of course. I think he'll hit .300, steal 35 bases, score 100 runs and slug over .400 and walk away with ROY award. Of course I won't be surprised but most of you will. My pitching surprise will be Claudio Vargas. I don't think so. I think he is going to pick up where he left off in 2009. In 37 games last season he already had 9HR's and 24 RBI's. and 40 hits.
-
Rickie Weeks is going to shock Brewers fans with 35 HR's and 120 RBI's . He's the next top hitter in Milwaukee not named Braun or Fielder.
-
Your 100 % right Vgmastr. I did some research and found this article from July of 2009, http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/51038457.html 9-pack holders could get full post season rights in 2009 by simply putting a $300.00 deposit down on a 20-game package for 2010. I wouldn't be surprised if they do it again this season.

Dave Bush's trade value is low and the Brewers might just be better off releasing him and using that 4 million on another player who is more of a sure thing and less of a question mark. I see where you are coming from, though. Washburn was indeed injured in 2009, but he still pitched 60 more IP then Bush and had an era of 3.78 compared to Bush's 6.38. He will upgrade and add more certainty to this pitching staff. This seems like a no-brainer to me. Unless the Brewers want to acquire a SP via trade and stay away from FA... -
Thank you, very much.
-
I think that's best answered by a Brewers ticket rep. Check with the rep who sold you the 9-pack; you'd think s/he would be interested in entertaining an upgrade. At the very least, I'd guess that if an upgrade were possible, you'd have to select a fan's choice package. Even if your existing nine games all fell within one of the pre-set plans, it seems unlikely that you could get the same location for eleven additional games. Thanks Hawing. I will probably contact my ticket rep. Exact seating will probably be different especially after single game tickets go on sale. The section will probably be the same, though, which in my case is (field outfield seats)..

I believe that Washburn could be had for maybe 1-2 million more then Bush, which is a bargain. He is healthy and he would be moving from the AL to the NL which would give him an advantage. I'd choose a healthy dependable Washburn whom you know what you will get over a Dave Bush who is coming off of a 2009 season where he pitched poorly and was injured. -
Question: Lets say I purchased a 9-pack and later I wanted more games could I upgrade my 9-pack to a 20-game package, and still get full postseason rights? How does that work?

Why don't the Brewers release Dave Bush which would free up 4-5 million, and use that money to get Washburn? Washburn could probably be had for 5-6 million. The Brewers have shown interest in him and he has shown interest in the Brewers. That would add another solid arm to the rotation. Parra could be moved to the bullpen, and Suppan would get the 5th spot. If Suppan turns out to be bad, by mid-season if the Brewers are still in it he could be traded or released and the Brewers could trade for a SP.
