  1. Just tweeted several tidbits regarding Brewers players lost on waivers in the Melvin era: https://twitter.com/#!/Mass_Haas
  2. To help jog your memory -- every player ever to appear on a Brewerfan Power 50 http://www.brewerfan.net/ViewPower50PlayerTrackerList.do You can click on any name to see their P50 history. I definitely had personal favorites over the years that I was rooting particularly hard for, but wouldn't single anybody not already mentioned above as a true disappointment. Josh Murray never even really teased us...
  3. AAA reliever Donovan Hand hometown newspaper profile
  4. McClendon has two options remaining.
  5. Izturis and Conrad could take the 40-man spots of Dillard and De La Cruz, who have to be removed unless they somehow make the 25-man. Someone else needs to come off when Mark Rogers' suspension ends about a week and a half into the season. Of course, there could be other outrights simply for the sake of roster flexibility on the open market come waiver season just before regular season games begin.
  6. https://twitter.com/#!/Mass_Haas/status/175324693639864320 Enjoy, and thanks, Davy.
  7. Divas match has to be Beth vs. Kharma or Beth vs. Natalya, or there shouldn't be one. Appropos of nothing, but Maryse's Divas Championship runs were so underrated. Goodness I miss her putting down her out unknowing opponents in French, along with everything else about her... I do respect Beth, there's just nothing else right now.
  8. Noted a couple of weeks ago, thanks -- viewtopic.php?p=765533#p765533
  9. https://twitter.com/#!/BrewerNation/milb-brewers/members I've helped BrewerNation identify more farmhands and we believe the link above is the most up-to-date list of Crew kids on the farm, so you can either follow players individually or subscribe and check in on the list once a day as I do. You'll notice on that link's sidebar BrewerNation has an MLB Brewers list as well.
  10. Again the lack of depth on the overall roster is just appalling. It's a "Supershow" featuring Smackdown stars if needed, yet Kofi, Truth, and in particular Santino have to wrestle in matches prior to their "lifetime opportunities" to make a Wrestlemania championship match in the battle royal! Of course, everyone knew Jericho was going to win, but who wrestles the same night prior to that type of match? What an utter embarassment the tag belts have become, as noted previously in this thread (which I've thoroughly enjoyed from the start, big closet fan here who enjoys watching from a storyline-development writer's point of view). Epico and Primo are talented guys and actually could be featured for personalities also, that was just painful booking in losing clean to Truth and Kingston. I really think the tag division (well, the tag team presence) was doomed once Vince and the writers went away from the "gimmick" identities, having all newcomers known basically by their "real" names. If there's one place for gimmicks, it's the tag division, as those relationships need the cohesiveness of wrestlers with the same styles / heat. God, what I wouldn't do to see the Bushwackers or such return. A super-team needs to be recruited to place the lustre back on those belts, much as Cody has done with the IC belt. Thanks for letting me chip in, carry on....
  11. Instant classic video http://t.co/c13TPheV
  12. Could someone do the homework and determine how many (potential) LH starting pitchers the Crew might face, let's say, over the first six weeks? Obviously it will be an inexact estimate. Will Mat be sitting in series one vs. Jaime Garcia, for instance? Would love to see Mat starting in say, 45 of the first 50 contests.
  13. SCOUTING & PLAYER DEVELOPMENT Minor League Coordinators Field Coordinator & Catching Instructor Charlie Greene Field Coordinator Bob Miscik Hitting Coordinator Darnell Coles Roving Pitching Coordinator Lee Tunnell Athletic Training Coordinator Frank Neville Roving Outfield & Baserunning Coordinator Reggie Williams No specific infield coordinator, it seems. And the whole specifics of a "Field Coordinator's" are probably in an archived video interview with Charlie Greene here, but it's pretty obscure.
  14. Veteran RHP Vinnie Chulk signed, likely no spring training invite, or Brewers would have announced that. While they were posting that, Baseball America also listed new homes for former Brewers Robert Hinton and Jordan Brown.
  15. Here's the new rules on arbitration: Major league free agent compensation will be completely revised in 2013, with a team having to offer its former players who became free agents the average of the top 125 contracts -- currently about $12.4 million -- to receive draft-pick compensation if a player signs with a new team. It eliminates the statistical formula that had been in place since the 1981 strike settlement. So no way would the Brewers offer Marcum arbitration at that level for 2013.
  16. Nice thread topic, good analysis. While the transactions are projected, this is still a more fitting topic for the Major League Forum and has been moved here. Rewarding Mike Fiers with a September 10th big league (and 40-man) roster spot was probably a sound move considering the race for not just the playoffs, but home field. In hindsight, his 40-man spot probably should have been saved until needed some time in 2012, but he was there in case there was a 1st or 2nd inning implosion game by a starter, and I can't quibble with the decision. He sure earned it, but Mike McClendon, already on the 40-man, would have saved a spot. FYI -- Brewer 40-man roster list, including option info as we believe to be accurate (no guarantee, however)
  17. Wolf's 2013 $10 million team option is a fallback should both Greinke and Marcum leave after this season. It also adds potential value in trade. If Zach proves too pricey, if Shaun continues his fall swoon, who knows? And yes, do Peralta and/or Fiers join 2013's rotation with minimal 2012 experience? All pretty fascinating...
  18. And they help routine fly balls become deeper sacrifice flies, and harder-hit ground balls sneak through the infield more often, and harder-hit line drives find the gaps more frequently -- all these years, I wish more folks in the media had made these points.
  19. Well, Cecil feels he's off to Washington (and yes, he and Prince are on speaking terms again...)
  20. LHP Victor Garate signed. Although I haven't been as wordy here on the forums, I've still been trying to keep up with various updates for folks via Twitter, including posting links in the past few days re: the new AAA and AA broadcasters. You can catch up on those posts here, so you may follow me or if you don't want to jump on the Twitter bandwagon, you can add that last link to your favorites and check in on it from time to time.
  21. Looking back at the trade in retrospect, i still can't grasp at all what Phillips was thinking. Zambrano wasn't even having a surprise great year at the time, his ERA was 4.37 and his WHIP was 1.55, with a whopping 96 walks in only 128 innings. *** Poor Steve Phillips always gets lumped into having made that deal. It was Jim Duquette.
  22. Congrats to Taylor -- sharing the "Best Canadian Hitter in Minors" award with some other dude, though
