One could certainly say the same thing about Parker. Even better, one can say that about Parker after seeing him play pro ball. You really have to cross your fingers on draft picks that they don't totally bust out immediately, even such high picks. at some point you just can't keep on getting the flavor of the month and find players to build around with NBA experience. Its why Philly trading MCW after 1.5 seasons didn't make any sense. Parker looked like a guy you can build around in his brief time in Milwaukee. The point however is that Giannis and Parker may not be able to play together. Both are ideally suited at the 4 (Giannis does command a bit of ballhandling). It could very well be a fatal flaw in our strategy to win a championship...look around the NBA at the combinations that are most successful. CLE - Irving (PG) / Lebron (SF) GS - Curry (PG) / Thompson/Green (SG/SF) Spurs - Parker (PG) / Duncan (PF) OKC - Westbrook (PG) / Durant (SF) BOS - Rondo (PG) / Pierce (SF) / Garnett (PF) MIA - Wade (SG) / Lebron (SF) Notice a trend? All of them had a POINT GUARD and a Forward they built around. Yes, Wade played point even though Chalmers was out there. As it stands right now we have a guy in Giannis who could end up being a SF or a PF, and an undersized PF in Parker. It all hinges upon MCW and whether he can become elite or not...while I think he will become a good PG, I don't know about elite. We don't have very much of a sample size to know for sure whether this will work or not, but I fear that Parker is not the fit for the team we need...not that we had a choice in taking him. It's why I wanted Wiggins, but it just didn't work out on draft night.

Piff, Tomas or no thank you.

I'd like to make the outrageous statement that I've been thinking about the idea of trading Jabari Parker to the 76ers for the #3 to draft D'Angelo Russell. He really looks like a stud in the making and would make our team much better. Flip MCW to someone for a C or a draft pick and we're in business. Talk me off the ledge.

I agree. This removes any hope that Braun goes into the asset column going forward as far as tradability. We will now be stuck with him for the life of his deal. His on the field cant stay healthy issues now match his off the field PED stigma issues. Im going to be sick. Please don't make me beat the dead horse that has plagued this site for months now (RE--Braun's contract). Step back off the ledge. 1) It's not your money, stop being sick over it. 2) It's a game. 3) Braun has been pretty good for a stretch now...what more do you want? Good lord.

Get me Rafael Devers/Swihart for Lucroy and call it a day.

Sigh.

KRod has arguably been our best player this season...why are you scared? 1.42 ERA 0.89 WHIP, he's on his way to his best career season as of the moment.

annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd here we go. Jeffress, you suck.

For heavens sake, let Fiers go 8IP and have KRod seal it up. No other bullpen allowed.

Still want that (rumored) black alternate jersey though.

Oh look, a Brewer doesn't know how many outs there are again. (Gomez).

Well, that was kind of ugly. Hopefully Cravy does a little better.

Yes, because the owner really enjoys seeing money go down the drain. Makes perfect sense to me.

This pitching staff is downright atrocious.

Honestly, is this a thread about hating B.A. ? Everyone's entitled to their opinions but just wow. This state is really getting spoiled, maybe him leaving would be a good lesson to appreciate what you have. What the heck do you think the REASON that Brian is calling NBA and NCAA playoff games for? He's an ELITE caller. jeesh Packers - Wayne and Larry Brewers - Ueck / B.A. Badgers - Lepay Bucks - McGlocklin / Moncrief

Anybody got a count on how many games the bullpen has blown this year? Sure tonight "technically" is Garza's ER but it's two in a row here now we've just crapped the bed on in the late innings that could very well have been wins.

This bullpen is a complete fraud and joke. Between Broxton being fat and sucking, Smith with Pine tar, and Cotts being horrible we have a pretty good pen. Glad we take fliers on sketch pitchers and then whine about guys like K-Rod who actually do their job.

One thing's for certain...i've gotten one heck of a headache reading this thread the past few weeks.

Yet again Broxton.

Trade EVVVVVVVVVVVVVVERYONE. Just trade them all, and send 5 grasshoppers out as SP and 8 ants out into the field as positional players. We don't need anyone anyway. Can we please put this thread to bed already? I can't believe the debate has actually gone on this long. It's laughable to think this is the worst contract in franchise history.

That Ramirez bomb was a thing of beauty..talk about sitting on a pitch.

So...about all those Brewerfan.net posters who endlessly harped on how Ryan Braun and Aramis Ramirez possess zero power at the plate anymore...........anybody out there?

Cotts whiffed on a toss to 1st, Rogers (?) threw to 3rd and Herrera tagged the guy out by a mile. Review in brewers favor.

Just got home and looks like we're giving Sale everything he can handle...and Herrera going ham again. lol

Please for the love of God no Brook Lopez in Milwaukee. Please please please NO.
