    In fairness, looking at career stats is not always a real effective way to judge the caliber of a pitcher Slobber, I wasn't actually referring to your stats (sorry, I didn't make that clear). It was more a blanket statement regarding people judging players on long careers, when what really matters is recent history. Example: Greg Maddux is one of the best pitchers of all time, but the last few years, and he has been no better than the Suppans of the league. If you advocate signing Maddux, you better realize you are getting the very average pitcher and not the Hall of Famer. In terms of Suppan, you are getting a slightly above average starting pitcher IMO, and not the below average pitcher that his "career" stats would indicate. Still, thanks for the updated stats.

    Toronto - I dont know if they trust reed johnson. Even if they did, Jenkins would make a perfect platoon partner with Johnson. I don't see a fit with Toronto. Reed Johnson hits both lefties and righties well. Plus, he's probably a better defender than Jenkins at this point - he has more range and arguably has a better arm, IMO.

    In fairness, looking at career stats is not always a real effective way to judge the caliber of a pitcher. Suppan's last 4 years have all been slightly above average or good. His career numbers are severely skewed by some of his early seasons. Players hit their stride at different points in their careers. I don't think I would throw 4 years and $40 million at him, but I also don't think he's the bum that some people seem to think he is.

    I'd take on Romero in a heartbeat. I haven't heard his name thrown around anywhere for any team (other than the Angels saying he wouldn't be back with them). I'm guessing there isn't much interest in him yet, but he's probably part of the next tier of signings that are about to start now that the non-tender lists are out.

    While I'd love for the Brewers to make a splash at the Winter Meetings, Schmidt doesn't seem like the most logical choice for the Brewers, IMO. As a small market team, the Brewers do not have the luxury to gamble on free agents - they cannot afford to be wrong. A 34 year old with recent injury issues does not seem like a good gamble. A perfectly healthy Jason Schmidt is one thing - a Jason Schmidt in the real world is a whole different ballgame. I'm not saying I wouldn't welcome Schmidt to Wisconsin with open arms. I would just want to look long and hard at his medical records.

    SF always seemed like the most logical place for Jenkins to wind up. From SF's perspective, they could be thinking that Jenkins needs a change of scenery. What better place to get that change than the area of California that Jenkins is from. Unfortunately, getting quality pitching help from SF could be tough... not much depth there.

    I know you want to trust your pitchers, but if you get to 3-1 on a pretty good hitter that you're trying to pitch around, isn't it high time for the catcher to stand up and stick his glove out? I can buy that logic. At the very least you would hope your pitcher is smart enough not to throw the guy anything he can drive.

    Why are they pitching to McCann with first base open? Ned Yost...ugh How about Matt Wise... ugh. What do you think Maddux told Wise? How about, "you have first base open, so be careful with this guy. We'll go after the human windmill next." What does Wise do? He throws a changeup over the heart of the plate. And that is somehow Yost's fault?

    So...if Renteria is running out of the baseline, why isn't he out? The ball has to hit the runner if he is running inside the line on the way to 1st base.

    Hmmmm.... and some here led us to believe that Jenkins only hits meaningless HRs.

    I was thinking earlier today that it must be embarrassing for the Royals that their lone "all star" has an ERA over 5. Well, Turnbow is not the Brewers lone all star, but it sure looks like he'll have a 5+ ERA by the end of the week.

    Winklesas just happened to give up a grand slam, so maybe it's him that should be held somewhat accountable? Winkelsas certainly has to be held somewhat accountable for throwing the gopher ball, but it was all set up by JDLR pitching like JDLR. 4 walks in 5.2 innings is horrendous, and its unfortunately becoming the norm with this staff. Allan "Walk Walk" Simpson will fit in nicely with this pitching staff.

    Can Jenkins hit 3 harder balls without getting a hit? Bad, bad luck for GJ tonight.

    There's a start. HR for Cirillo. Let's put a crooked number up there.

    Its not bad enough that Cappy is getting lit up and just gave up a hit to the pitcher... he also wasn't backing up the throw to the plate (got there very late after the ball had already caromed off the wall). Score... some... runs.

    The suspensions are a joke. 3 games from the league and 3 additional games from the Brewers. This clown is on the 40-man roster, and all the Brewers add is 3 games to his suspension? That's barely a slap on the wrist. I don't have a problem with the league giving him a light suspension - that's their business. But the Brewers should have laid down the law to the tune of about 20 games, IMO. Sosa got 10 games, and I thought that was a joke. But a grand total of 6 games for Iribarren is pathetic.

    Griffey Jr... still getting it done in CF. That's about 3 great plays he's made already in the first game and a half of this series.

    Last I checked, the Brewers play in the National League where versatility in your players is a huge plus. I don't want to put Hall in one position when he is so valuable at other positions, too. If the Brewers didn't have another viable option at shortstop, it might be a different story. Hall is going to play essentially everyday, just not always at the same position. His true value to the team is his versatility. Hardy's offense is going to improve IMO, and coupled with his defensive skills, will make Hardy a fine big league shortstop. Hall has proven he can play at least 4 positions quite well. I'm not sure Hardy could pull that off - actually, I'm quite certain he couldn't. Hall's versatility is what allows the Brewers to carry 13 pitchers. Its hard to say which player is truly the better all-around shortstop. The good news is, the Brewers don't have to worry about that right now. Neither player is going anywhere in the near future.

    Rickie, Rickie, Rickie. Ughh. Double play saves it though!

    If Dana struggles what options does the crew have until Heling gets back Is Sarfate out of options after this year (he is, IIRC). If so, what would it hurt to see what he has at this level?

    Lead off walk scores... Eveland is already over 100 pitches, so this should be it for him. He is due up 3rd. Edit: Sorry, repeated what Tisko had already posted.
  24. bsglorydays
    4 walks thru 4.1 innings... Who does Eveland think he is, Doug Davis? Throw strikes. The bats will wake up.
  25. bsglorydays
    No Brewers player has faced Gavin Floyd. Only 3 Phillies players have faced David Bush, for a combined 10 ABs. So, this one could be interesting from the standpoint that both teams will be relying heavily on advanced scouting, rather than experience.
