I feel like I have to stick with a "no" for all admitted or found to be PED users. I don't understand why a guy should get a pass just because he admitted it. He still used. Aside from all of that I am not sure he is a Hall of Famer anyways. But it is very close. His postseason was great but I am not sure he was ever the stud I need in order to put a person into the Hall. It seems like all you need these days is to be very good, which is why the Hall has so many members. Too many for me.

In 2006 the Brewers had the 2nd highest ERA in the NL at 4.82. Not sure how you can say that is "really good" Because ERA is a terrible stat when you have bad fielders. Sheets was superb for 1/2 a season, Capuano, and Bush were all above 3.8 WAR and Davis was at 2.8. That's a very good rotation.If you believe that was a good rotation you have to be really excited about this years rotation. And yes I have seen Marcum pitch. Much more than I have seen Yuniesky but I have seen both. Our rotation this year strikes out more hitters so there will be less balls in play to make these mistakes you are saying is the reason for the 4.82. Even if that is not the entire reason. This years rotation is much better than 2006 so I am not even going to compare that. All I was saying is that not many have even seen Yuniesky play and are already calling him awful because some media reports have said that. We didn't exactly have a stud at SS last year and this years staff is much better than any in recent memory.

These type of signings are just cheap options the brewers are trying to fill the back end of the roster. I don't get that excited either way with these moves. But the hating on Yuniesky is a bit early for me. Not because his stats are equal or better than what we got from SS last year, but I would guess that most of the people commenting have never even seen him play. While he is not the ideal SS I cannot see how we can be up in arms. We have a similar SS and we have upgraded our pitching greatly. I have said to friends before and I will continue to say this. I could care less who we have in the field. Just give me a top 5 pitching staff and we will be in the race. And it just happens that the Giants won it last year with a less than explosive offense. They just picked guys off the scrap pile and created a lineup to go with that great pitching. You don't need as many 'big' hits when a game is 3-2.

Fielder ($15.5MM) and Parra ($1.2MM) avoid arbitration
COBrewerfan replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I am guessing Prince is going to have a monster season this year which will cause us to really make an effort to keep him. But all it will really do will make someone pay an insane amount of money, for more years than you should give him, and someone will enjoy him for a couple years before the contract looks awful. Pretty much like every other 7 year deal that is handed out these days. But I am really going to enjoy what he gives this year and hope for the best for this team. Then figure out who the new 1B will be. -
Any suggestions on where to stay at Spring Training?
COBrewerfan replied to Kpanz20's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
We stay up by the Mariners and Padres stadium. Not the most exciting area but the group I go with is upper 20's to upper 30's. So while we don't care about clubs or anything like that, there is a Tilted Kilt up there that we frequent almost every day. As well as a hooters. Great place to watch the NCAA tourney seeing we will be there in late March. Plenty of hotels and a nice area and every stadium is within 30 minutes at the very most.
