    That is good advice: Nearly half of Hendricks pitches today have been outside the zone.
  2. Frisbee Slider
    Well, maybe third time through…

    I believe in Rowdy’s ability to improve from last AB!

    Great job, Jace! How about a bloop to left?

    I hear what you are saying about innings 1-4 being considered low leverage. However, if we fall behind 5-0 early in game one, my concern is the entire series becomes low leverage from that point on. Let’s get Williams and Hader in the game when it is tied or when we have the lead. The only way to guarantee that in Game One is to start with them. We can hope for the best from Woodruff in Game Two. No reason to save anyone for Game Three.

    How about Game 1? Innings 1-2: Devin Williams Innings 3-4: Josh Hader Inning 5: Claudio or Yardley Innings 6-7: Brent Suter Innings 8-9: Freddy Peralta Game 2: Brandon Woodruff on full rest - 7 innings? Game 3: [shrug]

    One name I didn't see mentioned yet is Ben Hendrickson. Here is his history on Toby's Power 50. I did not anticipate Ben Hendrickson to be a world-beater but I did have higher hopes than a career 7.41 ERA and 58.1 IP in the majors. Lastly, on the topic of best Brewers second baseman, the only other name I'd submit for consideration is Mark Loretta. Loretta had some nice defensive versatility, as well. Loretta .289 / .355 / .385 8 seasons and 2,596 AB Weeks .247 / .346 / .422 10 seasons and 3,804 AB

    Some Brewers RBI performances of note: Greg Vaughn had 98 RBI with .319 OBP in 1992 Corey Hart had 91 RBI with .300 OBP in 2008 Dale Sveum had 95 RBI with a .303 OBP in 1987 Yuniesky Betancourt was # 3 in RBI for the 2011 Brewers with 68 RBI and .652 OPS Casey McGehee was # 4 in RBI that year with 67 RBI and a .626 OPS. They combined for 1184 PA in 2011.

    1) Yovani Gallardo 2) Mike Fiers 3) Carlos Villanueva (free agent, 101 K in 98.2 IP, 3.10 ERA in AL East. Will be 29) 4) Mark Rogers 5) Wily Peralta

    In the spirit of early-season, small sample analysis: Here are some Brewers team stats for 2012. Innings 1 through 6 - Offense .215 / .276 / .391 = .667 OPS in 279 AB (#14 in NL for OPS) 7th Inning or Later .264 / .344 / .458 = .802 OPS in 144 AB (# 1 in NL for OPS) Overall .232 / .299 / .414 = .713 OPS in 423 AB (# 7 in NL for OPS) Overall Team Pitching 5.05 ERA in 114 IP (Last in NL for ERA) 1.46 WHIP (#15 in NL for WHIP)
  12. Frisbee Slider
    I think Betancourt fits the mold of a player Yost will enjoy playing often. On the topic of Royals infielders, I think Wes Helms is still available as a free agent. Helms could go a long way toward achieving the necessary amount of gritty-gamers.

    Hey guys, I have been trying to figure out what song the Brewers sometimes play when they strike someone out: The lyrics, from what I can tell are: "Vamanos...Vamanos..." If someone could post the artist and song title, I can finally stop trying to google search it. Thanks!

    Re: NFL Television Ratings I think the NFL's television ratings are largely a product of a few things: - The games are one time per week - The games are generally the same day and time every week, year after year (people can build a Sunday tradition of watching football) - Most people do not work Sunday afternoons - What else is on tv on Sundays? Bowling? Ice skating? Television ratings are an important measure of health for a league but should not be the ultimate measure. I never got into the show "Deal or No Deal" but I'm sure it has gotten high television ratings. Even though it gets high ratings, I do not think we can fairly conclude that it is a great show. The way baseball is setup now, it is more possible to have clashes between genuinely great teams. In the NFL it is more likely to have Trent Dilfer and Kerry Collins lead their teams into the Super Bowl. Before the salary cap, we had Joe Montana against John Elway...Terry Bradshaw against Roger Stauchbach...Troy Aikman and Jim Kelly.

    I think Major League Baseball is and will continue to be exciting if the talent and team salary levels follow a bell curve. I want to see David versus Goliath match ups. I want to passionately root against the Yankees because of all the reasons people dislike them today. Imagine the 1927 New York Yankees having to trade Babe Ruth just to "free up cap space." Removing historically great teams by instituting a salary cap does not improve the quality of the game. I consider a hard salary cap as a means of mandating mediocrity across the league. We should not aim to have a league where the Detroit Lions of the world deserve a chance at the Super Bowl next year. I know the salary cap arguments can become a can of worms. I am happy with revenue sharing and luxury tax but not a hard cap.

    I think Rickie Weeks and Brandon Phillips share some similarities. Both players were called up at Ages 20/21 but did not become regular big leaguers until later. The Cleveland Indians gave up on Phillips at age 24. When Phillips turned 26, he hit 30 HRs and stole 32 bases. Better yet, Weeks has demonstrated more of an ability to draw walks than Phillips. We can certainly hold on to Weeks for another season. He is my starting second baseman going into Spring Training barring anything unforeseen.

    I live near 17th and Wisconsin. There is a risk of crime in the area. If there is secured parking and he isn't walking around outside at night, he should be fine. I wouldn't recommend staying much beyond 21st and Wisconsin. I wouldn't call the area safe but obviously enough people stay there regularly that the hotel is still in business. Between 11th through 20th and Wisconsin/Wells is mostly Marquette University. I do not walk by myself at night where there is not a Marquette University Public Safety presence.

    Does anyone know the home run distances for Braun and Fielder? I just have MLB Gameday up and the dots for "away hits" were awfully far away from the outfield fences.
  20. Frisbee Slider
    Sheets: 2004-2006 3.13 ERA, 500.2 IP, 1.03 WHIP Willis: 2004-2006 3.47 ERA, 657.2 IP, 1.30 WHIP In a world without contracts, I would not trade Sheets for Willis, straight up. In a world without SportsCenter, I don't think this trade is even considered a good idea.

    When Sarfate was with Beloit, I had the pleasure of having a couple conversations with him during a series in the Fox Cities against the Timber Rattlers. Dennis Sarfate = good people. I think Sarfate will earn a well-deserved spot in the bullpen to start the season.

    Let's remember: What Melvin says and what Melvin believes are not always identical. Average Fan: "Dah!!! Strikeouts are the devil!" Melvin: "We are looking to reduce strikeouts" Average Fan: "I feel 20-30% better."
  23. Frisbee Slider
    Listening to Melvin over the years,he doesn't strike me as a saber fanatic.I don't doubt he uses available statistical data,but i also see him as a type that still puts value in things like batting average,RBI's,and strikeouts for hitters more than the stat crunchers do. In 1983, Doug Melvin crunched and compiled statistical data (full-time) for the New York Yankees (Source: The Numbers Game - book). Melvin has mentioned stat guys before, too, I thought.

    Similarly, is it possible that Zito and his agent may prefer to wait until Suppan is signed before agreeing to a deal, too?
  25. Frisbee Slider
    In their first segment, SportsCenter reports that the Brewers offered Suppan a four-year deal.
