  1. Anyone know if Garza was placed on and passed thru waivers? He's done enough to warrant an August trade.
  2. Brewers move to 7th pick in the draft. Closing in on the number 2. Atlanta seems to be out of reach.
  3. Strikeouts are acceptable if it's balanced with power and ultimately scoring runs. The Brewers are 25th in slugging and 24th in scoring, so no this is not a good thing.
  4. Control (very few walks) and inducing ground balls (even in last night's start, he had 8 groundouts to 2 fly outs). Honestly, I will see what a larger sample size does. Suter had a rough April in Colorado Springs, then was lights out. In any case, I'd rather pay league minimum for Suter than eight figures for Garza or seven figures for Anderson or Peralta (although Peralta has pitched well since his return from the minors). I don't think anyone here is a Garza or Anderson fan. I have no idea why either is here in the first place. Garza is just a relic of the keep it barely competitive Mark A strategy and Anderson never should have been aquired, as he offers no purpose. Peralta I'd rather fight thru his issues because they guy does have talent. I have no problem giving Suter a chance the rest of the year, I was just asking what made him somewhat successful because he doesn't fit the profile of a pitcher who will get guys out up here.
  5. There wasn't anything to like about his chances to make it last night. His command would have to be perfect to get MLB hitters out. What made him productive down in the minors? Changing speeds?
  6. You're not thinking of Doug Davis pitching to Chad Moeller, are you? I seem to remember Davis just taking forever, not to mention, he was a nibbler (again, as I remember - haven't looked up anything on him) so each at-bat would just drag on. Ugh. SHARPIE! Yup that's the tandem. Grrrrrrrrrr.
  7. Good. The anti Scott Karl. Didnt he pitch when we had that catcher from the Diamondbacks? 3 hour games
  8. Not even close to the same. Those guys are AAAA 25th man roster filler who almost certainly will not be Brewers next year. The guy has certainly been productive no doubt. I am willing to give him a break since he pitched in CS. Still, the guy will be 27 on August 29th.
  9. This is a nice story but this feels like the pitching version of Wilkins and Elmore where we don't want to waste our real prospects service time. The exception being Arcia of course. I have a feeling he is brought up as cannon fodder, but maybe they have plans for him to be in the 2017 rotation?
  10. I know I'm in the minority here but I am a lot more interested in the race to the number two draft pick than I am worrying about who is hitting clean up with Braun and Luc gone. Oh and Nelson needs a DL stint or at least a turn missed to work on his command. The wheels are coming off.
  11. If a team signs a OF to a contact like Braun's, they are likely giving up a draft pick. So the only way a deal for Braun makes sense is immediate need and the cost being at or less than a mid to late first round pick.
  12. Counsell has the team playing hard and if anything he has a very bad roster over achieving. I see no reason to get rid of him at all. Is there some inside info here because on the surface he has done an amazing job.
  13. He will go to St Louis where their local "dr" will fix him up and he will have miraculous comeback.
  14. I'm a huge Gomez fan but on a rebuilding team there's no real point to bringing him in. Let Broxton play in CF with Perez/KirK in RF.
  15. Villar should be our starting 2B going forward with Perez at 3B. We can worry about where to play Diaz in two years or so.
  16. Maybe take Puig in a Pirates type trade where they give us a prospect/s to take him off their hands? Like we trade them Rijo for Puig plus a top 5 prospect? Other than that he is pretty worthless to Milwaukee.
  17. Both Prince and Cecil hit 319 HRs.
  18. I'd trade them Flores if they were willing to pick up most of his contract. That's it. Puig and the rebuilding Brewers shouldn't be in the same sentence.
  19. I don't know. When I see a 31 year old with his history just find if all of a sudden I'm very skeptical. Whatever we got from him this year was as amazing as it was sketchy. I wish we would have traded him.
  20. Is that all it was with Coulter? A bad hitting environment at BC? Weird he could go to a pretty major jump in skill and have this much success after being a guy you'd give up on prior to this. This gives me some hope for Ray if they move him to AA next year.
  21. Looks like the PTBNL is a top level guy. This was a timing thing as they were against the deadline. As posted above, Rosenthal says he will be on the same level as Brinson and Ortiz. That seems optimistic but I'm guessing it's a pitcher with some injury to watch for based on putting the pieces together from this week.
