    Pretty sure Houser is pitching in Baltimore's minor league system now.

    Yep. Mears has very good stuff and has another year of cheap control. They'll give him every opportunity to make the pen next spring. Hopefully he figures some things out this offseason.
  3. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Methinks it might be time to end the season for Mears, send him to the pitching lab and see if they can find out what is going on. Great stuff, great arm, but the results just aren't there.

    In a game where so much of a player's value is tied to counting stats, I think the Player's Association might fight that.

    The end of the regular season road. It's been another fun one, guys! Thanks for participating. Carlos Rodriguez - Brice Turang - Mario Feliciano - Curt Leskanic - Franklin Stubbs - and last (and also least), Jeffrey Leonard!

    Thanks to the Cubbies, we have now reached Fernando-Mania!

    Agreed! I don't know if it was the high stirrup socks or the fact that his uniform was always dirty, but Tyler was a gamer.

    Another two-fer evening! Thank you Cubs bullpen and Brewers offense! First, my choice for #4 is Pat Listach. What, you say? Listach wore #16! Well yes, but in 1996 he asked and received permission to wear #4 in honor of former teammate Paul Molitor. And for #3, there were a lot of options, but you can't go wrong with "Scrap Iron" Phil Garner, who was very underrated as the manager of some very entertaining teams.

    It was by all accounts a failed trade, but Jonathon Schoop did have a few nice moments in his brief time as a Brewer, including a clutch Grand Slam in San Fran.
  11. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Sal Bando's failure as a GM overshadows his quality time as the team's 3B.

    Brewers have a slog of a last month schedule. The Cubs, on the other hand, other than 3 games in Philly (when the Phillies may not have anything to play for), probably have the easiest schedule in the majors. That said, according to Fangraphs, the Cubs have a roughly 1.2% chance of sneaking into the playoffs.

    I was very excited when the Brewers signed Sean Berry in December of 1998. Berry was fresh off a stellar .895 OPS season with the Astros, and at only 33 years of age, I thought he had several years of middle-of-the-order tread left on his tires. Unfortunately Berry turned out to be one of the least effective free agent signings in the team's history.

    Oh, I don't think Cruz will actually make the HOF, but he still stands a better shot than Braun, even if that shot is .0001%.
  15. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Wow ... no. Even if the Brewers finished the year 0-17 (which would be an astronomical collapse), the Cubs would still need to finish 9-7 to pass them. Even if the Brewers tanked and went something like 3-14, the Cubs would need to finish 12-4. Going 9-8 would be enough to seal the division, even if the Cubs win out (also astronomically unlikely).
  16. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I know I've used this one before, but considering Ryan Braun's controversial late career, this man likely stands a better shot of being the first Brewers' #8 in the Hall of Fame ... Nellie Cruz
  17. Ron Robinsons Beard
    The best correct answer to this query is Chris Archer.

    I can't really explain why, but I loved Tony Graffanino as a Brewer. Gotta appreciate the scrappers :)

    Marc Newfield (of dreams)

    I consider myself an avid baseball fan, and I thought I had a pretty good knowledge of Brewers' history. But for the life of me, I cannot recall anything about Adam Stern's time as a Brewer.

    For #12, it's hard to say no to the mid-90s look and the sweet 'stache Brian Harper brought to the party.
  23. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Being a naive teenager in the '90s, I truly thought that the Brewers had the makings of an Atlanta Braves-type rotation with Cal Eldred, Scott Karl, free agent signee Ben McDonald, and "Big Daddy", #13, the huge flame-throwing 6'7" righty, Jeff D'Amico. Unfortunately, despite glimmers of ace-type stuff (including a whole season of great work in 2000), injuries and inconsistency caught up, and it wasn't meant to be for the once Brewers' future ace.

    Russell the Muscle's second appearance in this thread with #14!
  25. Ron Robinsons Beard
    My pick for #15 wasn't here long, but made one heck of an impact after coming over in a 2018 deadline deal. A former starter, Drew Pomeranz was identified by David Stearns as a guy who could potentially pitch in a middle relief role down the stretch. Big Smooth was much more than that, coming in and immediately performing as a dominant relief arm in a variety of roles.
