I think this is right on the money. There's plenty of room on the payroll and Feliz seems like a guy who can get the job done for a rebuilding team. On a contender I don't think it would make much sense with the question marks around him. But for the Brewers he's a once highly regarded prospect who has had his career derailed by injury. I could see Feliz coming in and putting up stats in line with what Jeffress was able to do last year if healthy. He has the stuff to do it if his velocity is all the way back. The only thing is it would make a lot more sense to sign him to a multi-year deal. I wonder if a team could structure a deal to give the team an opt out after a couple years, if he is pitching well let the contract run to when it's time to compete, if not performing well opt out.

On Perez, with Luc gone he's turned into my favorite Brewer. Plays great D and has a good bat. I hope he draws some walks and is playing regularly. When competitive it would be nice to have him as that super sub with some lefties in the corners.

I'm all for defensive versatility and wouldn't mind moving on from Scooter but somebody has to play 2b. There's enough versatility that it's not a big deal if Scooter is limited to 2b.

Lucroy Trades/Proposals (part 2)
ilikewisco replied to Austin Tatious's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Maybe they feel like they shouldn't move Villar off of short this year with the way he's played and feel Arcia can play out of position for the time being if brought up. I'm sure he's still considered the SS of the future. -
The Royals seem like a good fit for Braun and Gennett. Dyson is out with an oblique strain and Infante has been a disappointment. They have a good group of arms in their mlb top 10 prospect list and a few interesting players farther down. Ideally the Brewers could send some money or they could take back Infante and his contract. I'd like to see 2 of their pitchers in the top 10, 1 toward the top and 1 toward the bottom, and a lower prospect, but that might be too much. I'd be happy with Russell/Almonte/Watson, Chase Vallot/Seuly Matias and Yunior Marte. Hunter Dozier and Bubba Starling are 2 guys whose shine has worn since they've been drafted as well. Its doubtful they'd move Matias since they just signed him last summer. This doesn't seem like something the Royals would do though, they seem to be pretty risk averse. And this would probably needed to be done before the spring.

Thank you. I was thinking stanton cuz he's got a track record (for injuries too) and power is at a premium. 3rd is somewhat deep too but Donaldson is getting kept and not sure if machado or arrenado would make it to me. I was thinking Strasburg over harvey for his upside but the downside is bigger with Strasburg I think. I'm gonna take your advice and go with harvey and arrenado. My team was the best on paper but a bad week put me out, and stanton going down hurt too.
-
Keeper question. I can keep 2 bats and 2 arms. No round consideration. Scoring is the basic 10 plus ops, total bases, whip and holds. Mccutchen, Correa, stanton, arrenado and votto Price, greinke, Strasburg, harvey and syndergaard Was planning on stanton, correa, price and Strasburg. 10 team league, I was stacked last year but finished 3rd.

Game, from what my friend has told me I think I can handle the work and the hours, though that is something I worry about. Losing the position I have now is something that sways me to stay too. MoreFans, My luck would be I'd get out there and they'd be packing it in. I'm not making a decision for a little bit here so I will keep tabs on that. The housing situation is not a concern, as the company I would be working for provides it for me.

I graduated in May with a bachelor's in chemistry and landed a job in my field in June in the area I'm from. Its a really good company and the benefits are great. The pay is a little lower than what I was expecting but is competitive for the area I live. I have a friend who just went out to North Dakota and the money sounds almost too good to pass up. I'm debating leaving the position I just started and going out there for a few years. I could pay off my loans and save up enough to go back for my master's degree in chemical engineering. If I stay where I'm at I don't think I will get an opportunity to go back. I am already in my mid 30's, so if I am going to do this, it will have to be this spring. Just wondering if I should stay at the position I'm in, where there are opportunities to advance but would probably mean moving, which wouldn't bother me. Or should I take a chance and go for the money, with the plan on going back to school. But I will be leaving a position that fits my degree and is a good resume builder. One other possibility is falling into a career in the oil industry with my chemistry background. I would be applying for chemistry jobs there but I have issues with my driver's license at the moment which limits my search. And that problem will not be resolved until May of 2016, which is the biggest reason I have chose to stay in the area I'm in now, but should not be a problem for the roustabout positions in North Dakota. Any advice would be appreciated.

I really enjoyed it. The movie is a little more than just the ship getting hijacked and I thought the main pirate was really good in it.

Gomez Segura Braun Ramirez Lucroy Davis Francisco/Halton Gennett/Weeks Gomez and/or Segura will be on base better than 50% of the time (hoping Gomez keeps progressing). Having them on for Braun/Ramirez/Lucroy could mean a few extra mistakes to hit. You could flip flop 1 and 2 as well.

Thank you all. I've used eclipse before when I had a class in C++. I might start there and start to familarize myself with Java as well. And I have used a text editor for HTML, but it was just to create a simple webpage.

I got Ubuntu running, with some effort. Windows 8 was a real pain in the butt in that regard. I like the things you can do with the terminal but I don't know enough about or how to operate it to be beneficial. What I wanted to ask though is if you use Linux, is there any software you would reccomend to start learning some programming?
-
Count me out on Young. The easiest place to find offense, why sign a guy who won't even hit double digit dingers or OPS over .730? They have to be able to do better than that. If that's all you want out of your 1B, let Morris/Francisco and Halton do it, they can't be worse.
-
I know I'm in the minority, but Morales wouldn't be the worst move in the world. The lost draft pick would be horrible but he had one great year and was on his way to another good one in Anaheim before he broke his ankle on that walk off. He may be a good buy low type guy who if he reverts back to his first year would be a stud to bat between Braun and ARam. I don't know what type of contract he's looking for, but if it was reasonable for 1-2 years plus an option he might be a good fit. What do you do with Morris if its multiple years though? I'd rather see a Morris/Halton platoon above anything given its looking like a down year with our pitching and it'd be nice to see if Morris can do it. And we keep the draft pick as well. But if Melvin is going to go outside the organization I would rather lose a 1st rounder for Morales than lose a Thornburg type for Davis. And Morales is better than Davis imo. It would have to be a low salary though, 20+ HR .780 OPS are nothing special. But you may be buying on the idea he could be a 35+ HR .850-.900 OPS guy again. On topic, I chose Morris. And ideally they would give him a shot in ST and he take it and run. Edit: I forgot Morales turned down the QO, he will cost way more than the Brewers should be willing to spend for him and the draft pick is probably more valuable than having him in the line up next year.

I wanted to mention this in one of the 1b threads too, but I thought I read the Jays wanted Walker from the Pirates in exchange for Lind. The Jays aren't just trying to rid themselves of Lind, they're looking for something back. I don't know if they think Weeks is comparable to Walker, but he's first year arby eligible and had a decent year last.
-
I agree, Francisco just looks like he doesn't even want to be out there most of the time. But he has loads of potential!
-
He was saying Francisco as the LH bench option, not the starter at first.

I think as long as it will fit it should work with DDR2. I did a google search and some forum answers said it should work fine. The manufacturer website says you need a minimum of 300W power supply though. EVGA http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=01G-P3-2615-KR might wanna wait until someone answers that knows for sure though.

Is the legacy the non-retina display with 500 GB hard drive? And so I understand, flash drive MacBooks can't have their RAM upgraded, right? I was looking at getting the 13" air but having the ports would be nice, as would the option to upgrade. I don't think the retina display would be a big issue for me either way, except it's gonna increase the price. I guess I would rather have flash drive just for the less moving parts aspect. Should I want a flash drive or doesn't it matter? I will probably post again this summer when I'm looking to buy.

I'm gonna dual boot to start unless I really hate Windows 8. I got the Lenovo H520, it has an Intel Petium G5020 64 bit dual core processor with Intel HD integrated graphics. It only has 4GB RAM but I can upgrade like you said. It was only $280 so I thought the price was right. I plan on getting a MacBook after I graduate from college in May and get a job. As far as programming, I have had very little exposure to HTML and C++. I am a complete novice with Linux as well. I really have no idea how I will go about learning, so any advice would be appreciated. I know I will get some exposure with Linux. I plan on attending some meetings for the Linux club at school and hopefully meet some people who can point me in the right direction. My major is chemistry, but a basic understanding of programming I know can only help.

Looking to buy a new computer/laptop, mine is done. I would like to finally get a MacBook but I think I need to wait until after I graduate in May. Anyway I found four options on NewEgg that I am debating, any advice would be appreciated. I just use my computer for a few school things at home and surfing the web and don't really need a laptop, but I wouldn't be against one either. I plan on installing a linux OS on whatever I get and try to learn some programming in the future, but just as a hobby. Here are the four I'm looking at, 2 PC's and 2 laptops: Lenovo H520 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883265703 Acer Veriton http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883103837&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL120313&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL120313-_-EMC-120313-Latest-_-DesktopPCs-_-83103837-L020D Lenovo IdeaPad http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834313589&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL120313&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL120313-_-EMC-120313-Latest-_-LaptopsNotebooks-_-34313589-L020B Lenovo G505 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834312827

ESPN is horrible, if its not on a coast they don't bother covering it. As far as Braun making those calls, I definitely think its a good move and give him respect for doing it.

The Slammin' Salmon. Its from the guys that did Super Troopers but I don't think it ever was in theaters. Not as good as Super Troopers, or even Beerfest, but some parts were hilarious.
