Is all you guys do is look at ERA? Linebrink's era 10 days ago- 2.48 He has had 2 bad outings. COL- 4 ER in 0.2 NYM- 3 ER in 1.0 Other than those 2 here was his stats 6-30 FLA 1 IP 2 K 0 ER 7-2 FLA 1 IP 1 ER 7-4 FLA 1 IP 0 ER 7-7 ATL 1 IP 0 ER 7-14 ARI 1 1 ER 7-15 ARI 1 IP 0 ER 7-16 NYM 1 IP 0 ER 7-18 NYM 1 IP 3 ER 7-22 PHI 1 IP 0 ER 7-23 COL 0.2 IP 4 ER besides those 2 outings he only gave up 1 ER in 2 outings. How is that bad? Someone please explain,
My thoughts Linebrick career ERA- 3.19 All 3 minor league pitchers havent pitched in the majors. Enough said. We are in a pennat race, we dont need prospects anymore. We are usually the ones selling players now were adding proven veterans. Please get over it.
I have decided to run a contest, I will name 10 players and you have to tell me what team they will be traded to or if you dont think they will be traded. Just reply here saying your predictions and a price may be rewarded not really sure yet. Or if someone can donate a price that would be great. Each player will have a certain price value. I will say it when the name is up. You will be competing against the brewers espn board, brewerfan.net and the main general espn board. Here are the players LF Adam Dunn worth (3 points) Prediction: RF Jermaine Dye ( 5 points) Prediction: 1B Mark Texiera ( 10 points) Prediction: SS Edgar Renteria ( 2 points) Prediction: SP Matt Morris ( 3 points) Prediction: RP Eric Gagne ( 3 points) Prediction: RP Octavio Dotel ( 5 points) Prediction: 1B Richie Sexson ( 3 points) Prediction: 1B Dimitri Young ( 4 points) Prediction: RP Joaquin Benoit ( 2 points) Prediction: Total point value: 40 Names of players who have made predictions
Wouldn't you think Dye would benefit in a Brewers lineup surrounded by Braun, Fielder, Hall? White Sox is one of the worst offense's in baseball. Put Dye at inbetween Braun and Fielder. BA Rank- White Sox- 29th, Milwaukee 18th HR- White Sox- 11th, Milwaukee 2nd Runs- White Sox- 23rd, Milwaukee 10th Hits- White Sox- 30th, Milwaukee 18th. Every catagory Milwaukee's offense is better. Weeks Braun Dye Fielder Hart Hall Hardy Estrada Or you can go Weeks Dye Braun Fielder Hall Hart Hardy Estrada That way they wont walk Dye and have to face Braun with men on base.
http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/7056962 Thoughts? Dye's last 10 games .297 AVG, 11-37, 3 HR's OBP- .289 SLG- .443 26 BB 65 K Also you can let him walk in the offseason and get some picks for him. I would go after him if Para isnt involved. Trade Turnbow and a prospect for him than ship off Gwynn Jr for Otsuka if hes healthy. 1. Weeks 2. Hart 3. Braun 4. Fielder 5. Dye 6. Hall 7. Hardy 8. Estrada Set up man- Otsuka. Thoughts?
With a bunch of names being out there how busy will the deadline be? Melvin said that there are really no names available but look at the list of players that may be traded. C Mike Piazza 1B Mark Texiera RF Bobby Kelity SP Jose Contreas RF Jermaine Dye RF Ken Griffey Jr. LF Adam Dunn 1B Dimitri Young RP Chad Cordero 1B Ty Wigginton 2B Mark Loretta 2B Ray Durham 2B Tadhito Iguchi RP Octovio Dotel RP Joaquain Benoit RP Eric Gagne RP Aknori Otsuka SP Joe Kennedy SP Matt Morris 1B Ryan Klesko RP Joe Rauch CF Ryan Church SP Jon Garland SP Livan Hernadez CP Brian Fuentes RP Kyle Farnsworth RP Scott Proctor SP Javier Vazques RF Willy Mo Pena SP Josh Towers SS Jack Wilson RP Juilian Taveras RP Manny Declarman With all these names how busy will the deadline be and what players should the Brewers go after?
Balfour Spurling Villanueva Cordero Those were your options. Spurling just got lit up his last outing 5 earned runs in 1/3 of a inning. Cordero just pitched on Sunday and were in a stretch of 7 games 6 day stretch. Your not going to bring him in a tie game. Villanueva- Since July 1st he pitched 13 innings and gave up 11 earmed runs. He has a 7.62 ERA since July 1st. He also just pitched on Sunday.
Harang is 10-2 with a 3.45 era. He is one of the most underrated pitchers in the game. His fastball is about 93 and the slider is un-hittable calling him medicore is one of the most insane things I have heard. Maybe Braun just had a good night and the rest didnt?
All the rumors are updated. Why would the Pirates want Glaus and what do you think of someone like Joe Kennedy from the A's? Renteria for Garland is a decent trade for both teams also.
