Rotation Battle 2.0 -- Latest: Suppan Named 5th Starter
rcon14 replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Now we should cut him. But seriously, if Suppan makes the team I'll be disapointed and if he makes the rotation someones getting hurt, oh my poor dog... -
I imagine some sports stats site would have it but I couldn't give you an example. I'd try googleing "MLB player batting averages vs fastballs"

hmm. This is about as negative and farfetched as you can get. Gallardo is a stud, Wolf is a solid 2, Davis is a solid 3. That's instantly an improvement over last year where we had Gallardo, Looper, and Suppan. Bush will be like his pre-line drive form, where he was having a carreer best year. Between Suppan, Parra, and Narveson I'm sure we'll find a suitable #5 guy, not to mention the depth we have in our minor league system at P now (Rogers, Butler, Estrada, Loe, Burns, etc.). Trevor is Trevor at the backend, and I expect Coffey, Hawkins, and Stetter to be the best setup trio in the majors. I love what I've seen from Zach Braddock and he'll be on the team by the end of the season. Vargas is a much better RP than SP. John Axford has the stuff to join the pen too. The lineup took a hit when Cameron left for BOS, but Weeks should be very good, and I expect big things from Alcides Escobar. Gomez should hit somewhere in the.245-.260 range and steal quite a few bases. Edmonds will probably end up platooning with Hart which gives us the best of both worlds with LH/RH RF. Braun and Fielder are studs. If McGehee really did play "over his head" last year, we have Gamel in the minors and a virtual unknown in Adam Heether who had a great year last year in AAA Nashville and could play 3B if plans A and B fail. Greg Zaun is a huge upgrade over Jason Kendall, and George Kottaras looks like he could be a solid backup. Overall I see between 87 and 91 wins and we will not trade Prince like the quoted poster says.

Most of what I remember of Gamel last year is him watching inside fastball after inside fastball go by and then just go sit down.

You can rehab in the minor leagues for a certain period of time, I'm not sure how long but you do have to serve some off time on the DL.

Why would anybody want Gamel to start at 3B? So he can strike out another 1/2 million times. He needs to mature as a person (according to an article I read on jsonline) and he needs to become a better overall hitter before I can see him even making the roster let alone starting. Gamel will never be a #2 hitter, he's better suited to the #5 or 6 spot.
