    Trading Wolf would not clear up enough salary for both. Plus then, how do you replace Wolf without making the rotation worse? The Brewers need to go with Gamel and Green at first and third in order to be able to simply fill out the rest of the roster.

    Wisconsin once again jacking the threes. As of the other day, half of their shots were three pointers. I hated watching that crap last season, so hopefully they get out of that soon.
  3. Oldcity
    Good deal.
  4. Oldcity
    There's no way they can afford both Rollins and Ramirez. Fielder's money from last year is already mostly used up in player raises. They need Green and Gamel simply because they need some cheap players to be able to afford a shortstop and some relievers.

    I'd be okay with it if KROD wouldn't be so expensive. If they're going to trade Axford, they should assemble a closer-by-committee with cheaper guys.
  6. Oldcity
    Switch their roles, and the Brewers would still win the division, and the Dodgers would still be right around .500. Kemp was the best player. The rest of the team shouldn't decided who wins it.
  7. Oldcity
    Those are sweet.
  8. Oldcity
    Realistically, this is probably a good thing from the Brewers' perspective. They get a doormat in the division one more year, and long-term, they only have to beat out four teams to win the division instead of five.

    Weird stuff going on here. Looks like another guy jumped the gun. The Palm Beach Post reported they haven't agreed to terms. It would be strange for a top FA like this to sign this early.

    Okay, it's nice to use catchy sayings, but Greinke profiles as the type of pitcher you'd like to extend. He's still fairly young, has been durable, and still performs at a high level. If he was on the open market he'd be the top pitcher available, easily.
  11. Oldcity
    Never eaten at Taco Bell. Edit: Whoa. Just read the first page. Guess I'm not original after all.
  12. Oldcity
    The problem with signing Reyes is then they don't have the money to extend Greinke.
  13. Oldcity
    I wouldn't be as worried about the pick since they'll be getting something for Fielder. They might drop back 20 spots, but not a huge deal if you think Reyes is the right target. Whether he is is another story entirely, but I wouldn't let the draft pick factor sway it too much.
  14. Oldcity
    But what better options are there? Who do you want for shortstop?
  15. Oldcity
    I did look at the numbers and stand by my comment that he is a below average shortstop. When I looked at his AVG, OBP, and OPS for the past three years he I found that he was below average every year in every category except going back to 2009 he managed to be merely a league average SS in OPS with the benefit of Coors Field. I understand he is better than Yuniesky Betancourt but at least offensively he is below average. Factoring in defense, he's above average for sure. He's elite defensively, which is exactly what the Brewers need.
  16. Oldcity
    Yeah, we're not talking like what Oakland did and spending 10 mil to see if he has anything left. A NRI would be great, but I doubt he'd want to come back after the way he left.
  17. Oldcity
    Because he sucked in the playoffs. Na, because he's a number two starter who will be 31. Prince is a much safer bet to A. stay healthy and B. perform the way he has over the next four-five years.
  18. Oldcity
    Clint Barmes is not a below average shortstop. You need to look at the numbers for MLB shortstops.
  19. Oldcity
    Yeah, with the raises coming to guys like Weeks, Hart, Braun, and Gallardo, the Brewers need to build up a core of cost-efficient players. They'll need guys like Gamel, Green, Fiers, Thornburg, Peralta simply because they'll be cheap.
  20. Oldcity
    Plus Mike Cameron wasn't a horrendous liability on defense.
  21. Oldcity
    I just think it's funny that he has C.J. Wilson ranked higher than Fielder or Reyes.
  22. Oldcity
    Yeah, those trades wouldn't get accepted. I also see the Cards re-signing Furcal.
  23. Oldcity
    He doesn't get on base and he has poor defensive range. Those are by far the two most important things for a shortstop, and he doesn't do either.
  24. Oldcity
    Yeah, I was coming on here to say, "Wait... You mean all teams don't do this already? No wonder there are so many bad managers."
  25. Oldcity
    No, not just on that throw. His problem is he doesn't set his momentum to go towards where the throw is heading so he doesn't get as much on the throw as he could. Most of the time when I see him he'll be standing flat footed with no momentum so the throw ends up being pretty bad. Definitely agree with this. Multiple times this season Hart, rather than getting under the ball and starting towards home, will jog, catch it over his head, and have no momentum going into his throw.
