    don't like it at all. Hopefully it won't stick around long enough to actually become a tradition.

    Not sure if that should be in blue; but it is not really a fair statement. He's lost weight the last couple of years...I want to say he was at his largest when he used to flop around the bases in 2006 or so and he's definitely trimmed down since then (with some back and forth through the years). I guess one could say that when you are in arbitration, every year is a contract year; but still.

    I like the market this sets for Webb, though...

    Its difficult not to see that somehow despite having the ability to average nearly a double-double, Gooden does so many things poorly that he manages to negate that and then some. He has his nights (usually at the expense of the rest of the team); but all in all, he is terrible. We'd be so much better off with a Sanders/Ersan rotation with a little bit of LRMAM mixed in. I guess we always have to have someone I can't stand under a large, long contract. Its going to be a long 4 years.

    exactly what I've been thinking amt2138. I've gotten to the point where I'm assuming one of these things happen (least likely first): 1. We trade for Greinke2. We trade Cain/Cain package for Garza or Shields3. We trade Cain for Beachy (or up the ante for Minor)4. We sign Pavano. Things won't start moving until Greinke situation settles. Then something will happen fast IMO.

    Not that Lucroy looks like a world beater; but it would be pretty discouraging to go from two years ago having 3 strong possibilities to solve our catching WOAHS to having no possibilities (at least not at the higher levels).

    Man, that was a heavy drift...perfect for working off post-packer angst http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    laugh, cry, or try to make him the centerpiece in a Greinke trade? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    Here is the most I would offer: Choice of Escobar/Cain (I would hope they took escobar)Choice of Rodgers/JeffressChoice of Peralta/RivasParra I really don't want Odorizzi or both of Rodgers/Jeffress in there.

    My guess is we are in a holding pattern because Melvin is waiting for some chips to fall before addressing our need for one more starter. First of all, letting the competition settle for Greinke. If Texas signs Lee, that would seem to eliminate one of our main sources of competition for Greinke; which would hopefully lower the price for Greinke into the range we're willing to offer. After that chip falls, then we'll know if we are desperate enough to give Pavano a third year, give up Cain in a trade for pitching, or take a risk on an one of the "injury" pitchers. The second chip that will have an impact on this situation is Fielder. Lee's signing may also shift the market and what teams are willing to GIVE for Fielder because some room in the budget opens up that was reserved for Lee or maybe need to make an "impact" move. The other side of that is that if we get Greinke, we would probably just keep fielder and compete next year. If we don't get Greinke, maybe we are willing to ship Fielder to fill in other holes such as the starter we need, first base, trading pieces, or to restock the farm system (or any/all of these).

    this is starting to feel transaction-forumesqe, with Obsessed playing the part of some kind of "weather insider" http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    So much for Chicago radio...as if we needed any more confirmation on that http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  14. greeg35
    According to my friend the white sox fan, there has been renewed interest in fielder with Konerko looking to sign elsewhere (he heard it on Chicago radio, so grain of salt). They are also looking at Lee on a short deal if Konerko moves. I offered Fielder/Parra for Floyd/Quentin (hart moves to first base) and he accepted . Was that a good deal? I probably should have asked about Quentin's contract before dealing--I'm such a rookie GM http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif In seriousness, I still think odds are Fielder stays; but the recent talk of that being likely may have drummed up some renewed interest/motivation for some teams.

    If you read the link to a recent Roenicke interview Invader3K posted in another thread (can't remember which one), he seems to feel quite strongly about having a "veteran" catcher that "knows how to call a game". I guess if you can't hit, can't throw people out, are 32 or older, and are still in the league logic dictates you MUST be able to "call a good game", right?
  16. greeg35
    Yep, it looks bad if you focus on batting averages. However, they are both very good defensively and have good/great speed. Dickerson (who would be getting the majority of the PA's) has a passable career .783 ops against RH. Gomez is terrible at .641. They are both probably ascending players as well. I'd prefer better; but you could do worse. I could live with it if we got a Floyd/Garza type.
  17. greeg35
    I agree with that bjkrautk, I would also add: we win the world series. That will make it all better http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  18. greeg35
    You could do worse than a Dickerson/Gomez platoon...

    I think trwi7's point is not that we should constantly be rebuilding; but that we need to be (more) strategic in reload/going for it. Is it coincidence that we are "going for it" while Melvin's job may be on the line? I like this trade depending on how Weeks situation shakes out; but I didn't like how he "went for it" last year wasting money on "proven veteran pitching" considering we were pretty far from being legit contenders. That's because different people are "bashing" him for different reasons. If we win they all go away http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    I will love this trade if these three things happen:1) We sign Weeks to an extension2) We sign Marcum to an extension3) Lawrie turns out to be LaPorta or worse I will like this trade if two out of the three things above happen I will not like this trade if one out of the three things above happen I will HATE this trade if none of the three things above happen For this year, Marcum becomes a borderline #1 for us. He may be better than Gallardo (is probably as good) and sounds like a great clubhouse guy to boot. This definitely makes our team better for the next two years. After that, it depends on the big 3 listed above.

    If Greinke signed an extension, I'd trade Braun for him yesterday.

    That won't hurt Fielder it will only help him.Nate82, I'm curious as to why you think this.
  24. greeg35
    is jalapeño illegal?
  25. greeg35
    Agreed. I'm not saying he has ALL the leverage, just some. Some of the discussion here seems to be implying he has none. I think both parties are motivated to do this and the large offer on the table will be the one that eventually gets done.
