    his value right now is high as he's been scorching lately. Sure, he could keep up his current run, and stay healthy, but what if he doesn't? That's why you cash in now before it's too late or something happens. I want the Brewers to put together a contender next year as bad as all of you do, but I'm sorry I just don't see a strong possibility of that happening. Patching holes needs to stop and rebuilding needs to start. Patching holes pushes mediocrity, and I don't want that. I want to build up to another title run like last year.

    The guy I quoted in that post (pretendastronaut) with my blue lettering was insinuating that I made the whole thing up. Hence my rebuttal. Look I don't care anymore. If you think I made it up, am trolling, am embellishing, am adding on my own two cents and passing it off as Greinke saying it, whatever, that's fine. Think what you want. I know what I heard.

    Was just going to say the same thing myself, but didn't want to ruffle feathers by doing so...
  4. slappzilla
    That's because myself and the SoCal guy completely made it up for attention.

    Ramirez has been on fire so you'd think his stock couldn't get much higher. I assume going off the lack of waves reading twitter that Doug is done trading, which I think stinks. The Brewers are not going to contend next year. They need to rebuild and take advantage of Ramirez current hot play because his back end loaded contract will be a hassle.

    Fair enough, but I did not add my own interpretation and quoted it as fact. I typed it as I heard it. Don't worry, next time I hear something I know the board won't like, I won't even think twice before finding a concrete source before posting it. Lesson learned.

    The words didn't come out of my mouth so that's why I felt the quotes were needed. I'm done with the topic. Sorry if I posted something inaccurate. I should have been more skeptic when I disputed it myself even.

    I was just addressing the point more clear if anything. Too many people are saying there's no difference between AA and AAA and that's just not true. Not saying that's what you said, I just wanted to clarify.

    If it was so common knowlege I probably wouldn't have disputed it myself in the exact same post, especially considering what side of the spectrum I'm on. I agree though I should have said I heard it on Chuck and Wickett. I just didn't think I had to drop their show and assumed I could just come back with the source if needed. I was asked for a source, so I tweeted and facebooked Chuck and Wickett, asking for a source. Neither provided me with a source, so I came back into this thread this morning pointing out just that. I assumed since they said it on the air they'd get back to me quick with a source. They didn't. The fact that I (again) disputed the quote myself in the same exact post should have maybe pointed out my own skepticism maybe? I made the post with the quote, waited for a source, didn't get one, so in turn I addressed the issue in my very next post on the subject. Not sure what else I could have done other than not repeated something I heard on the radio.

    It's still more of a challenge though. I see people throw that line around way too often. People say that because on a lot of AAA teams you find journeymen minor leaguers, and MLB extras who are on the minor league AAA afiliate because there just isn't enough room on the MLB roster for them. The fact is AAA is a step above AA no matter how you swing it. Is it a significant step above? In some cases, no, not at all, but it's still better players/competition. The top prospects generally jump from AA to the majors and skip over AAA completely. It seems like the once a guys masters AA baseball, teams deem them ready to play in the majors if they have a long term opening. They don't want to move this top prospect to AAA because they have their former major leaguer there in his position. They don't want to release the former major league player from their system in case they need him. Teams also want guys playing everyday, so that they are ready to come up when needed. To me, Thornburg is an example of a guy who needs at least a half of season in AAA. The Brewers brought him up from AA and he struggled with the long ball. In AAA, he can go back and try and correct that problem against talent that is as close to MLB level as possible. I didn't have an issue with Thornburg being brought up when he was, but after seeing what he's done so far, I think at least a half year of AAA is needed for fine tuning.

    I figured when I typed the quote on the board it be easy to find the source if someone called me on it since it was said on the radio. Note someone else above "SoCal Brew Crew fan" said he heard a similar quote. What are you more upset about? That I fired off a quote that I can't find a concrete source for, or that I further pushed the whole "Zack isn't coming back to Milw, deal with it". I think the only reason you and others care so much is because you still think/want Zack to resign in the offseason with the Brewers. Hey, I do as well, but sorry if I'm supporting reality. It's not happening. Feel free to bury the quote and call me a troll if it helps you sleep at night. Fact is I didn't make it up to support any argument or debate. I even disputed myself in the same post ffs. Look, I WANT Zack to resign with Milwaukee. I WISH he would and that it's a possibility, but it's not, and I think it's ridiculous that people waste their time talking about it.

    Where's the best thread to talk about Segura? here?
  13. slappzilla
    Estrada has been solid in the rotation. He's had literally one bad game and he's striking out over a batter an inning. Taking him out of the rotation wouldn't exactly be fair to him. He's earned the right to keep that spot. If anyone in the current rotation should go back to the pen, it's Wolf (like you also mentioned).
  14. slappzilla
    Last nights game... Granted Ax got out of it, but did you see the last out? WAAAYYYYYY too close. I thought for sure Martinez was going to be called safe and the Brewers were looking at their second blown save of the game.
  15. slappzilla
    There were teams that wanted him before he took over the closers role and completely blew it (pun intended). He really boned the Brewers on those blown saves/terrible outings in so many different ways.

    I got it off of the Chuck and Wickett show on WSSP. Heard the quote driving into work yesterday. When you all blasted me for a source, I went and asked Wickett and Chuck for a source via twitter and facebook, and neither responded to me, hence why I haven't even responded to this thread until now. It comes off as something goofy, something which Greinke is known for doing (saying goofy stuff) but if you look at the post where I put that quote, even I said "I thought he said he liked coming to the NL to hit" myself. Maybe it is horsehockey, I don't know. I didn't make it up though.

    Now that the bullpen is fixed, and there's still a day left before the trade deadline, it's time for Doug to buy!!!!!!!
  18. slappzilla
    Do we know what the Rangers offered by chance? I think they got a decent deal from the Angels but that's without knowing what other teams may have offered.
  19. slappzilla
    Maybe not screwed up I guess, but I think sending him back down to AAA was the right move. Needs to learn to get over the homer-prowness. no, that's not a word. Not at all.
  20. slappzilla
    I was at the game behind the dish. Rogers looked good. I was just telling a coworker weeks ago that the Brewers need to bring up Rogers and he needs to dump or get of the pot. He's been in the farm system since 2005. He's always had big upside, but injuries and bad play have always held him back. Keep him in rotation for rest of year I say (hope). Marcum on the 60 DL now so he's likely done for the year.
  21. slappzilla
    They screwed up by bringing him up before pitching in AAA. I hope he pitches the rest of the year in AAA, then come spring he can compete for a spot in the rotation. Fiers, Peralta, and Rodgers I get the call ups cause they've been in AAA for awhile. I know a lot of teams skip right over AAA and bring guys up straight from AA, but that doesn't mean it's still not a good idea to let a guy play in AAA for awhile.
  22. slappzilla
    How bout Greinke's comments in his first game as an Angel? "I'm glad I'm not in the NL anymore. Having to bat is too much of a distraction. After you pitch, you go into the dugout, and instead of thinking about the next 3 batters you have to face, you have to think about your next at bat. I'll never pitch in the NL again" wat? Did Zack not say he liked to bat when he was first traded from KC to Milwaukee? Either way, for those of you who still think there's more than a -500% chance that Zack resigns with Milwaukee in the offseason, you may want to rethink.

    Am I out of line if I say I think Jim Henderson should be given a shot at the closer role?
  24. slappzilla
    ^ and get rid of his overloaded backend contract. I'm all for shedding Aramis while he's healthy and looking good.
  25. slappzilla
    Maybe DM flipped the switch and is gonna buy?
