    Will this one be on the Brewers Radio Network this afternoon? Edit: Nevermind, I see the other game vs the Athletics gets the broadcast this afternoon.

    Blackberry also has their Playbook tablet coming out in about a month or so. Might be something to keep an eye on.

    I think Provus is a very good announcer. Not Jim Powell, but Powell is probably one of the very best in the biz. Still, I think Provus and Uecker make a good tandem.

    I admit I didn't hear this, but I'm guessing it was a joke.

    I don't know about that, Tbadder. I think some people might be making more of a big deal about McGehee's knees than is needed. Also, I almost get the sense that the team has abandoned the idea of Gamel ever being at the hot corner. I think he'll be playing 1B in 2011 for the Brewers, or in RF with Hart moving to 1B.
  6. Invader3K
    Looks like we have a deal. Thanks for checking this one out, folks.

    Minor nitpick question: Why is Joe Mauer the on the cover of "The Show" two years in a row?
  8. Invader3K
    Adam McCalvy reporting that it's "mid back tightness."
  9. Invader3K
    Well, let's be honest, with Gamel it's more of a pattern we've seen.
  10. Invader3K
    With his current injury I doubt teams will be lining up to give anything of value for him, which makes it pointless to trade him.
  11. Invader3K
    More bad news on the Mat Gamel front: Haudricourt (on Twitter): Brewers INF/OF Mat Gamel was making no progress with a strained oblique so they've backed him off. Not a good sign for Gamel.

    Put in my pre-order for The Show the other day. Looking forward to it, though like I said elsewhere, I hope I don't struggle with it as much as I did on 2010.

    Haven't heard back from rickey yet, so if anyone else has any trade proposals, let me know or I'll be throwing this up on the 'Bay. I'll consider bobbles or other Brewers related merchandise.

    You can acquire all kinds of exotic foods late at night from your local zoo.

    Another way to look at this: If Cruz wins the starting SS job, Betancourt would give the team a middle infield power bat off the bench.
  16. Invader3K
    Yeah, I saw Fiers got a strikeout in just one inning of work. Really looks like a true up and coming pitcher in the Crew's organization.
  17. Invader3K
    Cruz just has to keep doing what he's doing. He had a tremendous winter and if he can continue that momentum in spring training, he'll make a strong case for himself.
  18. Invader3K
    I was kind of hoping something would get done, because I really like McGehee as a player and an individual. Note that that doesn't mean I wanted the Brewers to commit huge dollars to him or make a Bill Hall type mistake, as we discussed earlier. My guess is that they do a longer deal next off-season.
  19. Invader3K
    Thanks for fixing my stupid typo. turborickey, I replied to your PM.
  20. Invader3K
    Go figure.
  21. Invader3K
    Very cool link. Thanks.

    I think the Bill Hall memory looms large on Brewerfandom. I admit being one of the ones in favor of Hall's contract at the time, but it was obviously a mistake in retrospect. I think the difference with Casey McGehee is that he isn't as flawed as Hall was. Sure, defensively, Hall was (and probably still is), a better player. Definitely Hall has the better body type and is more athletic. However, offensively, I think McGehee is the much safer bet. He has a normal stance and a very compact swing, not the open stance and wild swing of Hall. I think the odds of Casey regressing like Billy did are very low. Will he always put up numbers like he did in 2010? Probably not, but I don't think he's going to drop off the map, either. Would I give him an extension? I don't know. It really depends on what the numbers look like and if there are any opt out club options. Casey really hasn't made much money yet in his MLB career, and might not take a ton of money to sign to a 4-5 year deal. The thing for the Brewers is that they can set up some cost certainty. If McGehee has a 2011 similar to his 2010 season, he will become expensive very quickly.

    Umm, Opening Day 2009 was under 40 degrees with 35 mph winds! It was miserable. Last year was amazing, though.... Yup. We were huddling between cars. Tough time getting the grill started too. Still had fun, but not ideal weather by any stretch.
  24. Invader3K
    I missed it, what happened?
  25. Invader3K
    Whoops...Yes, I meant McCalvy. I've been vocal in my criticisms of Witrado in the past. Maybe I didn't have enough coffee this morning. *facepalm*
