    no, Bartolo admitted to it, and he's old. if he were in his early 20's, maybe, but he's old enough to either a.) have a competent translator, or b.) understand the language himself.

    right now, yes, but come on, next season is 7 months away. Mark A and Melvin have plenty of time to work their magic. you're ruling out trades and signings and only going off of our current pitching depth. I say having Gallardo/Fiers, those extra arms and one FA signing, the brewers can definitely still contend.

    I am going to really miss seeing the Eupheus pitch

    a weeks difference between the two postive results probably means the tests were done on the same day, just that Colon's appeal process actually took some time to validate.

    i saw on another site "a gallardo win would be a great way to start a post-wolf era" and I literally yelled "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT". thanks for the memories Randy, hope you land elsewhere!

    My response would have been: 1) Are these representative of his ages 21-27 seasons? B) Are these representative of full seasons (>450 PA)? The answer to your question is "yes" (just as it would be for Brady Anderson). I believe your response to my questions is "no". guess what, his age 27, 28 season SLG% would be no different had he gotten 40 more at bats. he still played in 70% of games from age 25 on regardless of how many "plate appearances" he had. player A Age, Plate Apperances, SLG% 23yrs, 93 PA .239, 24 yrs, 53 PA .179, 25 yrs, 469 PA .420, 26 yrs, 614 PA .414, 27 yrs, 424 PA .405, 28 yrs, 404 PA .408, 29 yrs, 683 PA .617, 30 yrs, 655 PA .608, 31 yrs, 394 PA .534

    why cut anyone now when rosters are set to expand in 10 days. ride it out, not like it matters any at this point!
  11. torts
    doesnt matter, he'll be the DH by then and all he'll have to throw is his bat after he mashes a ball to the warning track
  12. torts
    but i was sort of hoping no one would say his name to just get a response from that poster

    player A career SLG% .239, .179, .420, .414, .405, .408, .617, .608, .534 do those numbers make you suspicious?
  15. torts
    no, a QO must be the average salary of the top 125 contracts on the year. it is a pre-determined amount, aimed to speed up that entire section of pre-free agency, and cannot be modified.

    I didnt see that article prior to posting that, so thats good news to hear! my comment was from my recollection of something he said prior to the trade deadline
  17. torts
    I think it would depend. marcum has made it known he doesnt think he'll be back in Milwaukee, and this QO can only be offered in a 5 day window following the completion of the World Series, and once the offer is made, Marcum has 7 days to accept/decline it. No team can offer Marcum a contract, or talk to him about contracts until after the QO period is over. So if MIL wants to take the gamble that Marcum is looking for a long term deal instead of just another one-and-done contract, they could still offer it to him. I doubt they'll do it, but it theres a chance it could happen. now, MIL and Marcum cannot plan this out so the brewers get a pick, if it is found that there was discussions about Marcum declining the offer so MIL gets a comp pick, the brewers are fined and would lose future draft picks. and just so its clearer, the pick is a comp rd pick, not a 1st rd pick. the team who signs marcum (or any QO player) loses their 1st rd pick (as long as its not a top 10 pick), and that lost pick is just removed from the board. So it essentially shortens the 1st rd, adds to the comp rd between the 1st and 2nd, and if you're one of the top10 pick teams, then you lose your 2nd rd pick.

    © Signing Club. i. A Club that signs one Qualified Free Agent who is subject to compensation shall forfeit its highest available selection in the next Rule 4 Draft. A Club that signs more than one Qualified Free Agent subject to compensation shall forfeit its highest remaining selection in the next Rule 4 Draft for each additional Qualified Free Agent it signs. Notwithstanding the above, a Club shall not be required to forfeit a selection in the top ten of the first round of the Rule 4 Draft, and its highest available selection shall be deemed its first selection following the tenth selection of the first round. so by that section of the MLB CBA, it states that the Yankees would only lose their 1st rd draft pick if they signed Zack Greinke if the Brewers would have kept him, offered him a QO and had him pass on it. That paragraph also can be read to say that if the Yankees sign ZG after the Angels try to keep him, they will not lose their 1st rd pick because ZG does not qualify as a Qualified Free Agent.

    Teams will only lose their 1st rd pick if they sign a player who declined a QO from their 2012 team. The Angels can offer him a QO, but no team, regardless of who signs him at the end of the season, will be losing a draft pick because he was not on the opening day roster. The Angels will also not receive a comp pick for offering him a QO and losing him because he was not on the team from day 1 of the season. So it doesnt matter if the Angels offer or dont offer ZG a QO. I dont see it being "crappy", the only team with a chance to get a comp pick for Greinke (not the 1st rd pick of whatever team that signs him after he declines a QO from MIL) was the Brewers, and they valued getting 3 prospects higher than one comp pick after the 1st rd. I think the new CBA makes a lot of sense, a new team should only be penalized if they sign a player who played the entire season with one team, was offered a 1 year $13+ mil deal, turned it down, and signed elsewhere for more money. I think penalizing a team for going after a player who was traded for part of a season was a bit much, and further complicated things for small-market teams making a run for it, and the (possible) plans of additional draft picks (i.e. CC sabathia).
