there were changes in time frames during the offseason to speed everything up, there werent any real changes to the length of control, or terms of control to drafted players and free agent player.

Draft status applies in the amount of years of control a team has. a team has rights to offer 1-year contracts for each of the first 6 years of service (unless bought out in extension), and that player cannot become a FA and take offers from other teams until the controlling team doesnt extend a contract during that six-year window, or they accept contracts all six years, but do not receive an extension following those 6 years. If Aoki was drafted the brewers would control his contract for each of the next 5 seasons. during each of the first three seasons, pre-arb years, the player gets a set contract amount, to which they can accept/decline. Once the pre-arb are done they get arbitration years, and depending how quickly they accrued time in the majors in their first two seasons, they could have up to 4 years of arbitration (Super2), as long as the controlling team offers it. If the brewers at any time decline to offer Aoki a contract he would then be a free agent. Most often what happens is those players get traded off so they don't lose arbitration/control years Aoki was not drafted, he was offered a free agent contract by the Brewers for two years and an option year. When Aoki ends next year, Aoki will be a free agent and allowed to take contracts from anyone, as long as the brewers have not offered him an extension that he accepted. Right, but has any of that changed since the new CBA went into effect? Cot's has crib notes on the previous CBA as well as a link to the full CBA. no, ive read over the new CBA and that was my interpretation of the contract. This all could change and be amended once they implement the International Draft, but that wont happen until 2014 at the earliest.

I am excited for a lot of young pitchers! Peralta, Rogers, Fiers, Thornburg, Nelson, Burgos... plus the two arms we got for Grienke... this is exciting!

I AM WITH YOU ON THIS!!! EXCEPT IT SHOULD SAY "IT WOULD BE AWESOME TO HAVE MP ROCKING TO GO INTO THE POST SEASON......"

also, would love a CBA discussion thread, im getting my masters in Employment Labor Relations, basically CBA administration/writing/blahblahblah

I have to say, I was pretty excited about baseball last september, but for some reason, I am way more excited right now. This is incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FRACK YEAH MY MAN :D

Aoki was not drafted, so he is not under Brewers control for the 6-year window everyone is accustomed to. Aoki was a free agent signing, which means that he'll play out his contract, and since he'll still be under six years of service time, he'd only be eligible for arbitration after the following steps... It would be hard to believe that if he has a year like this year again, that the Brewers wouldnt extend him a contract offer by the deadline.

JUST WIN AND HOPE CAPS LOCK IS EXTREMELY OPTIMISTIC

I like it, but no way #3 happens. DM isn't gonna trade Wolf unless we are selling, even though he really wouldn't be a huge loss. He certainly won't trade a bench bat like Kottaras either if we are in contention. LOLOLOL LOOK AT THIS HOW IT PRETTY MuCH DID HAPPEN. NO WOLF = GETTING A MID LEVEL PROSPECT

ALL I CAN SAY RIGHT NOW IS.... LETS GO BREWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ALL I KNOW IS THAT I AM ROOTING FOR THE BEST TEAM IN BASEBALL RIGHT NOW! YEYEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! #BREWLIEVE #WEDONTNEEDGREINKE #PLAYOFFSHEREWECOME

CUBS WIN!!!!!!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mccutchen will win this now

braun, during the same timeframe has hit .359/.424/1.127 with 27 RBI's and his team going 24-8

since 8/15 game buster has hit .350/.419/.977, 19 RBIs with the team going 21-10

IN SVEUM WE TRUST

would rather go with our system at SS next year with Segura and Bianchi and not worry so much about his slash lines since the defense has been pretty awesome compared to yu bethecant

JUS SAYIN' IS ALL IM SAYIN'

braun is 3 SB away from being the 11th player all time to have a 40 HR/30 SB season. dude is sick.

NO TO BEDARD.
