    Clearly they are, I never implied the crimes were similar at all, just meant to draw a parallel to the jersey exchange idea. There are a lot of Brewers fans that now have Brewers merchandise that will go unused. That's a lot of public marketing that is now relegated to closets at a time when you are looking to rebrand yourself. If you're already looking to "give back" and looking to deflect the Braun situation, you don't think a new influx of Segura, Gomez, Lucroy, and Peralta jerseys in Miller Park and around Milwaukee would help? Because the vast majority of the jerseys seen nowadays (or at least before this week) are Braun's. EDIT: In thinking further I'll give you that it's probably not the best idea for the Brewers to distance themselves from Braun by discarding many of his jerseys (this may be more what you were getting at)...perhaps something like a "have a Braun jersey, get another player's half off" kind of deal? The Patriots (or any NFL team) will never see Hernandez on the field again, which is why they opted to buy back jerseys people invested in. Braun will be back in 2014, and for the long term picture of the franchise.

    this is the most tired thing ive heard about this entire situation

    this is why I think Mark is one of the best baseball owners in the league. who else does this?? Granted, I dont follow every team, but have other owners made an effort to GIVE back to fans for a bad season both on/off the field?

    I can tell you right now, pittsburgh would love to have Aoki at RF and the top of their lineup with Marte and McCutchen. Personally, I would much rather the Brewers go after Kingham and Stetson Allie, Stetson as a 1B is crushing the ball in low minors, drafted as a pitcher, the kid has some serious talent and im not sure what the Pirates org has planned for him. http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=kingha001nic http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=allie-001ste

    They said the same thing about K-Rod... exactly.
  6. torts
    he's got 346 PA in 91 games in 2013 so far

    came to post this. everyone needs to set the pitch forks down, sit down and just be patient for MLB to run its course here because Braun wont be saying anything until the final suspension is handed out

    seriously, the sample size scoot has had in milwaukee is too small to make a decision on whether or not he'll be any good.

    just think, KRod was sitting at home in April, unsigned, and now he netted the Brewers a nice piece for their system/future.

    Starks wrote in his blog on ESPN today/last night: •The price for Kyle Lohse, for instance, involves the price of a first-round pick. The Crew gave up as first-rounder as compensation for signing Lohse as a free agent in the spring.

    and I think we'll never know because as far as ESPN is concerned, they are vindicated for their coverage, and why would they bother trying to find out more, running the chance that they may have overblown the seriousness of what Braun did? They got their guy, and they'll only report on it further if it further supports their witch hunt from here on out.

    so why are you even here?

    everything ive read has said any state/federal involvement will only be related towards the regulations/requirements by the Department of Health for the substances being controlled and sold by Biogenisis and not be involved with MLB and the players.

    If the Pirates got Gabby Sanchez for their comp A pick last summer, I dont see how any BP arm couldnt net back a comp A round pick as well.
  24. torts
    sounds like Garza and Norris are being highly targeted right now with not a word about Gallardo.... either theres no real interest or Melvin is holding his cards as close as possible... which I think that is more likely than the earlier statement

    Which goes to show that with a pitching staff that's flyball/strikeout dominant, infield defense isn't that critical. With a staff of groundball pitchers, it takes on added importance. As bad as Hellweg's first big league taste was, the defense was horrendous behind him. that first game in pittsburgh segura was AWFUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL, it was painful to watch from my seats in the upper deck
