    Correct, like in golf, the best teachers tend to be average to slightly above average golfers. The guys that the game comes easy to(Braun, Bonds, Puljos, Arod etc) do not really know what it is to struggle and find your swing, it just comes natural. Look at the NBA, the best coaches were bench players or scrubs when they played.

    I know for a fact that there was a lot of street justice given out back in the day(20 yrs ago), whether that happens anymore I am not sure. I have been told several times that certain criminals that were just complete dirt bags, and whom would not really have anything done to them from the justice system, would be taken for a "ride" and returned a couple hours later, humbled and sore. These people were generally wife beaters, dirtbags(druggies, multiple assaults etc) and just those that deserved a attitude adjustment.

    Anything short of Cain, Lincecum and Sanchez and you will have fans burning Melvin in effigy. While most are resigned to the fact that Fielder is gone, Braun is the future to the Brewers and it would smack of "same old Brewers" to most fans(those who arent die hards like those on here or 95% of fans) regardless of who they get.

    Just so we are clear, King was ridiculously high on PCP and was finally pulled over for doing 100mph during a chase in a residential neighborhood and if IIRC actually attacked the officers. The video that was made takes starts about 15-20 minutes after he was pulled over. Whether he deserved the excess of what he did, King was by no means a innocent victim in the ordeal. Not to long after the incident King was arrested again for a felony. My uncle was a sheriff for years and has said that you wouldn't believe the strength and aggressiveness of someone on PCP.

    Panasonic makes the screens for Pioneer now. There would be no need to spend more money for the Pioneer. It would similar to buying a GMC over a Chevy, same truck, different name.

    If you are a freak about TVs like me, you can go wrong with Samsung for either Plasma or LCD. Panasonic is right behind it for Plasmas.

    I have a Samsung 58" plasma downstairs, a 42" Pioneer plasma upstairs which is "my wife's tv", and a 32" samsung LCD in the bedroom. Plasma hands down has better pictures, but you do have to worry about burn in. The Pioneer has burn in on it, but you can only see it on white or really light pictures. To combat this, Samsung has screen scrubbers built in. Basically it is a pattern that scrolls across the screen and cleans out any burn in. This varies considerably between manufacturers but usually from 20,000 to 30,000 hours. After this time the plasma screen will only be at around half the original brightness. 20,000 is 833 days or 2.3 years of continuous 24-hour use. Or if you use it on average of 30 hrs a week(3 per day M-F and 15hrs Sat-Sun), that would be about 13 yrs of good service or round it down to about 10yrs. I dont know about you, but if I get roughly 5-6 years of service from my bigger TVs, I am happy. I have had my Pioneer for over 3 years and it still is as bright as the day I bought it.

    If Gamel out plays Casey, then you start Gamel and keep Casey on the bench as a super sub. If Casey wins the job, then you let Gamel work on his swing in the minors. I dont understand why you have to get rid of one or the other. Its not like Casey is anywhere near being a free agent. I say you ride Casey till he proves he is not worthy of that position. Another option, would be to trade Hart(or move him to center) and put Gamel in the outfield, which most scouts project him as anyways.

    How about a bowling analogy. I feel better about my game if I am hitting the pocket but leaving the 10 or 7 pin verses missing the pocket and leaving pins or splits. As with lining, grounding or flying out, hitting the pocket and leaving the 10 or 7 pin means I am throwing good, just not getting the right pin action(direction of the a hit ball). Missing the pocket or striking out gives me no chance to succeed and means that my throw(swing is off). Any coach or scout will tell you that there is a lot to be seen in how the ball is hit when a guy makes an out.

    I believe in production over perception. McGehee has been the third best offensive player on this team that last month or so. I would bet my non existent mortgage that Gamel would not be putting up those numbers with his pitch recognition problems.
  11. jwill535
    And until Gamel fills the Cerano size hole in his swing, I am very happy to have McGehee at 3rd. Since he is under control for 6 years, I say ride him until either Gamel explodes and cant be kept off the field or McGehee turns into Wes Helms.

    I know Hart wants to play, but like the Hardy situation, whats the point of playing him. You know what you got with him, let the younger guys play.

    At this point I see nothing wrong with kicking the tires on players. Of course it isnt for this year, they are well out of it, so you might as well see what you have.
  14. jwill535
    If they did that for the sole reason to keep him from achieving the incentives, they would have the union all over them and probably would make an all ready difficult task of signing free agents even more difficult.

    I think what he was going for is that a baseball manager is judged more on how the team does then on his coaching abilities. For example, Joe Torre was seen as a horrible manager before he went to the Yankees and had a teams full of future/present HOFs. Being a baseball manager is the the most over rated coaching position in any sport, it is all dependent on the talent you have. You have better talent, you are a better manager.

    I can almost guarantee that Hall was put through waivers and I would imagine no one claimed him. I would also bet my salary that they would have gotten the same deal regardless if it was a waiver deal or a DFA. No team was going to take on his salary or if they did give up anything in return for it. Since Flores will be a FA anyways, I say bring him up and see what he can do.

    I hope Steven remembers that if he does not sign the contract this year, he is not only going to miss a year but is also going to miss a year of money that he will never get back.

    Its pretty common knowledge that Yount wasnt on the best of terms with the team for a couple years.
  19. jwill535
    Salome needs time off. He has been so banged up this year that unless they are just bringing him up to rehab and play a couple times, then thats fine. If they dont bring him up, I would go with Corporan or even Lucroy who seems to be earning the promotion as of late.
  20. jwill535
    Given the way they are playing, and if they continue to play this way, I have no problem kicking the tires on Patterson. Who knows, maybe he has learned something from being dumped so many times.
  21. jwill535
    The guy takes walks, hits for good average, has crazy speed, said to have some pop in his bat, in college was a plus defender with good range( so still has plenty of potential @ shortstop) and is like 21 and you already think he only can be a bench player... that's a little questionable. He def has starting potential Jeez, are you guys family? I should have clarified, I see him being at worst a really good bench player. I was going to write it, but was worried about being shot down, that if he was moved to 2nd, I could see him passing up Lawire due to his lead off capabilities.
  22. jwill535
    I could see Prince being tried at second too and being the next Hurricane. He bats well enough and has great speed and if he can be average in the field he would make a perfect bench player.
  23. jwill535
    Can we guarantee that he is cycling when he arrives?
  24. jwill535
    Two thoughts come to mind with this signing 1) Corey has to have the most impressive collection of compromising photos involving MLB GMs and personnel people. 2) His agent should be tasked to solving unemployment. If he can Patterson a job, he can get anyone a job.

    Good night for Hall with a double and HR.
