Who then? We couldn't get Davis, Bedard & Washburn aren't available. What's out there?
-
Paul, I can't worry if Halladay will block the trade or not but not offering Gamel or Escobar makes me think DM is just doing this for show.I wouldn't be dissappointed if we worked out a trade and Halladay nixed the deal because thats his right, I am dissappointed that we can't get any pitching for this sorry ass rotation (excuse my language).
-
Not sure if this has been posted. Sources have informed the Philadelphia Inquirer that the Blue Jays want Kyle Drabek, J.A. Happ and Dominic Brown for ace Roy Halladay. If the Phillies do this we really never had a shot.
-
Very simply you need that $10 million to use on pitching. Cameron, Kendall and Looper could buy you a pretty good upgrade, maybe that gets us back in the Peavey derby. I just can't see Cameron and a frontline starter being on the same team from a salary perspective. Not hating on Cameron at all, if he can bring a AA prospect pitcher with a shot at being a #3 type starter then you most definitely do that deal. Going into the off-season it will be easier to find a CF than a #2 or better starter.
-
I'm hearing he's testing FA, if thats the case the Brew couldn't risk bringing him back at $10 million plus if he would accept arby, therefore there is a scenario where Cameron walks for nothing.
-
I think the guy to go if they do sell would be Cameron, they won't or shouldn't offer him arby.
-
How do you explain to the 3 million fans that we're going to start selling???
-
This is my argument exactly, this is the time to acquire a frontline starter, whether its now or during the off-season you're not getting a #1 or #2 starter on the cheap, its going to be costly!! Nate and a few others look at our starters, 15th in the league in ERA. Melvin has set this team up for failure and we should be very upset. This ridiculous attitude of everyone of our prospects is a potential stud is just crazy and Melvin will be able to make trades this off-season to help us, what did he do last off-season? Looper and hit he hit on Mcgehee. The window for this current team is now thru 2011. After that Fielder leaves. Until then you can build around Braun Fielder, Gallardo, Escobar and whoever else emerges and thats a pretty good group. Hall, Suppan, Kendall, Looper, Hoffman & Cameron are all of the books between now and after the 2010 season, so there is some salary flexibility.
-
Thanks Nate so we should value Parra highly because he's better than Burns? I can't even begin to tell you on so many levels how wrong your logic is during this thread. Just because the Toronto GM says he needs pitching doesn't mean its going to happen. Escobar will probably be pre-season top 5 minor league prospecte next year, he's probably doing everything he can to get him. Also its been mentioned Tor is loaded with LH pitchers.
-
Am I missing something, is this board putting a HIGH value on Manny Parra?
-
If the Phillies get Halladay and Drabek is NOT in the deal Melvin should be held responsible. I am quickly losing confidence in the moustache. Good luck getting pitching this off-season, when he fails again he'll shrug his shoulders and say none were available.
-
Guys here's the deal the prospects are NOT going to win a WS for the Brewers unless we use them to acquire frontline pitching or we will get what we have this year, the worst (maybe 2nd worst) starting staff in the National League. That's fricking embarrassing!!! You just can't win without pitching, in the off-season its harder to get frontline pitching. here's our chance and keeping Mat Gamel is more important than acquiring a frontline starter?? I don't get it. I would feel differently if we had some pitching prospects close to the majors, can we project any starters from our minors by the beginning of 2011 Signed 1 Frustarted Brewer fan Mark A please reach out to me for my resume!!!
-
This move will end up costing Melvin his job unless he pulls a rabbit out of his hat at the deadline or if he has an unbelievable off-season. If we come back with the same rotation next year minus Looper if I was Mark A. I would fire Melvin the day the rosters are set. Gamel is EXPENDABLE, we have McGehee there! get back involved Doug
-
What would it take to get Haren?
KCBrewerfan34 replied to cvmvp12's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Haren is actually more valuable than Halladay IMO. It would take both & probably Lawrie. That being said AZ would be crazy to trade him, he's signed cheap -
There will be a host of #1 and #2 starters available this offseason?? Is your definition of "host" a few. If they're FA's they'll be tough to get, here's our best chance to compete this year and next, Halladay or Lee. This team can't go into the off-season with needs at SP, C, CF, and prob RF. Also, with no pitching options in the minors close to the majors this will solve a major prob for this year and next. I think is almost a no brainer for us, I do agree keeping Parra would be nice.
-
Why do so many people say no to this deal, if we can put Gamel into the deal as the centerpiece its a huge win for us. If we can trade the headcase (Parra) and not include Escobar or Gamel its over the top slam dunk for us. I remember reading the board last year on C.C, I don't want to give up these propsects don't trade Laporta etc... he is looking early on as a miss, where's Brantley, many complained about the Linebrink trade where are those guys traded 2-3 years ago now??? if you can't develop a #1 starter you better trade for one, here's our chance!!!! go get em Doug!!! Wouldn't it be nice going into next season pretty much having your rotation set and not having to try and deal for a SP.

Time to Re-visit Acquiring Peavy?
KCBrewerfan34 replied to paulmolitor4's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Not sure you can trade a player on the DL anyway. -
Toronto wanted Kershaw end of discussion for the Dodgers, if the Mets are tradinmg a bunch of garbage then I have no idea why they wouldn't do the deal? IMO Ricciardi is overplaying his hand a bit and other teams are waiting him out, if they end up getting draft picks for Halladay this guys career is over (J.P's). If the Brewers would offer Escobar, Lawrie and 2 lower prospects and he said no then the guy is nuts. I'm thinking the Brewers will NOT trade Escobar, the only way this gets done is they get someone else involved, I liked the Boston idea, plus Boston is motivated to get Halladay out of their division.
-
Then why did the Mets turn it down?
-
Yeah if Gillespie can only play LF, we got this guy called Braun there. LOL I fail to see how anyone can say losing Gillespie hurts. CURIOUS!
-
Time to DFA Hall & eat the money.
-
Wouldn't Another Solid Reliever Be Splendid?
KCBrewerfan34 replied to JonnyLungs's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Supposedly, we're interested in Tyler Walker. There is no way McClung should be pitching in the 8th in a tie ballgame!!! -
What to do with the infield this offseason?
KCBrewerfan34 replied to paul253's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Is this McGehee for real or is a flash in the pan. Can he be an everyday 3b next year? The other positions seem to be pretty much set I would think 1b Fielder 2b Weeks SS Hardy/Escobar 3b ? Utility Counsell, if he wants to play Not sure if catcher is in your question but the Brewers hopefully can upgrade this position, not much on the FA market though, although Victor Martinez would be a very nice acquisition. -
Halladay makes us a contender this year (we already are) especially with the schedule over the next 30 games or so and Halladay picthing 6 of those games instead of Burns, huge upgrade. 2010 we'll be favorites for the division barring HUGE improvements from division rivals. If you can get away with only trading one of the two its a big win for the Brewers!!!!
-
This is a trade the Brewers need to make, getting Rolen & Halladay gives us a window for 2009 & 2010 to compete for a WS, don't worry about 2011 for god sakes!!! Gamel Parra Lawrie 2 prospects FOR Halladay Rolen
