But in the same Rotoworld rumor, they indicate that the White Sox (I believe) are still interested. So it may be unclear if he really needs it or not. It's still enough to scare me away, which is why the persistent trade rumors are a little odd. I agree he would have been a great acquisition (better than Linebrink IMO).

I agree. Any major move(s) would be made in the offseason at this point. I know what Melvin has said about not moving Gwynn, but someone could still knock his socks off. We may collectively dismiss him because we have Hall in CF, Melvin is correct in stating that teams covet natural CF's. How long have we looked for a solid one before Hall? We were actually seriously considering Lofton and Roberts last off season. I guess I could understand someone taking a shot at Jenkins or Mench, but I'm not sure they could offer enough for Melvin to move either one at this point (can't break up Menchkins at this point!). And I agree with another poster about picking up an OF like Dye. How would Menchkins react to that? Would we cause ourselves a bigger problem for a little upgrade? I believe we have the pieces in place to be a playoff team. But as I've said in other threads, it could just turn out that we're just a tad young. But the good news is we're only going to get better. I know "wait til next year" is not very popular among Brewers fans, but this time it's for real. Even if we do make the playoffs (which I hope we do), I'm REALLY excited about '08 and beyond (which is why I hope we don't tear apart too much to go for it this year).

Brewers considering Jermaine Dye
MoneyballMan replied to brewers255's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I dont really believe in the Gwynn for Otsuka deal... Look what we ACTUALLY paid for Linebrink? Otsuka should be worth more than that... Unless Otsuka has Tommy John surgery, which I saw rumored somewhere today (looking for the link). -
How much is signing Suppan gonna cost this team?
MoneyballMan replied to bklynbrewcrew's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Just trying to remember what it was like when we signed Suppan and two names come to mind - Lilly and Meche. Both signings were panned by many critics, but look at their stats compared to Suppan. And remember when seeing that Meche is 7-7 that he plays for the Royals. I wouldn't have endorsed paying him 5/$55m, but to this point he's looking better than 4/$42 for Suppan. But, there's still half a season to go and the playoffs (hopefully), so let's hope he turns things around. -
Okay, who's the idiot at FSN who keeps trying to kill me? I agree - they had the damn camera pointed at the smokestacks waiting for it to hit! The cameraman thought it was in the river!
-
What do they say - a game of inches?
-
That looked WAY out of here.
-
Man, Conine didn't have a chance!
-
Stanton deserves that just for the time he is taking! Now somebody get him another piece of pie.
-
If it's wrong to love Ryan Braun, I don't wanna be right! I think it's probably ok to have a little man-love for Braun
-
Stanton may need another piece of that coffee cake before the end of this half-inning.
-
I know we say it every game, but Braun is just a professional hitter. Great at-bat.
-
I feel a launcher here for Braun.
-
Wow, I wonder if Jim Skaalen is tucking Rickie in at night, too?! Give him credit as the hitting coach, but don't make him sound like his mother, pastor, therapist and hitting coach!
-
BrewCrewCity, that's a very fair assessment. There are many other teams that would LOVE to have the T-bow/CoCo combination to close out games.
-
Wow, Stanton looks as fat as Coffey. What are they eating down in their bullpen? Or maybe it's just the widescreen...
-
Who was that, Cordero or Villy?! Very nice outing.
-
Huge strikeout - great pitch!
-
Anyone else see the Urinal Sentinel this morning? Villy's numbers aren't looking real good lately. Hopefully he can put things back together....
-
Double play grounder would sure look nice....
-
If they blow this game I think the vent thread may explode. You're right - someone, quick snap on some more server power! And if they lose this one, I vote for a one-time waiver of the expletive rule for one hour after the game ends!
-
Yost didn't even wait to get Maddux's opinion there! Maddux was checking the book and by the time he turned around, Yost was half way to the mound! This is not looking good....
-
I may have to turn the game off and just find out later if they hung on.
-
Life-size bobble head of Thomas or Gantner would scare the hell out of the cleaning lady!!
-
"Outstanding" to get Griffey. Not outstanding that the Cards left the bases loaded.
