    Just to note that Prince (and Boras) would be prohibited from talking with other teams unless the Brewers were to give explicit permission; otherwise it would be considered tampering.

    I like the current unis and logo. I think they look classy but distinctive. I could see using the retro logo a bit more, though. Maybe do an alternate cap in the current color scheme or something.
  3. Invader3K
    greg, I see your point. I didn't think Rice or Dawson should get in either...but since they are, I don't see how you can exclude Parker in fairness.
  4. Invader3K
    It's "only" 52 F here in southern Wisconsin today, but pretty darn gorgeous for mid-November.
  5. Invader3K
    I just mentioned this in another thread, but apparently Boras and Fielder are at the GM meetings in Orlando (it's on Twitter now). Definitely interesting.
  6. Invader3K
    Just saw an MLB Trade Rumors tweet (mlbtrorlando) that said both Scott Boras and Prince Fielder are at the GM meetings. Perhaps talking with Melvin once more about a contract extension?
  7. Invader3K
    Yeah, it's been oddly quiet so far regarding Rickie Weeks. I don't doubt they'll approach him about an extension if they haven't already. I agree with WTP that I wouldn't do that Uggla deal with Weeks. Just seems like too big a risk.
  8. Invader3K
    Agreed. I really don't want them to mess with Loe, who was very successful out of the bullpen last year, and try to convert him into a starter. Villanueva is fine as a spot starter or emergency option. I really can't see Dillard being a successful starter, personally.
  9. Invader3K
    Yeah, that's my point, RoCo. Parker is very similar to those two, and they are in. I know Parker is somewhat tainted by his admitted drug use, but so were a whole lot of other guys during his era that are in.
  10. Invader3K
    Here's ESPN's list of free agent relievers. I don't know, but I'm not seeing anyone really jumping out as a potential starter. Part of the problem is you would want someone younger if they're still going to make that kind of transition, and Jesse Crain at 29 is the youngest on that list.
  11. Invader3K
    I really doubt Melvin will bother trying to negotiate with Boras again. Fielder has already reportedly turned down two contract extension offers from the Brewers (one earlier this year, and one before the '08 season). Maybe they make a token offer early in the winter meetings, and when that gets turned down again, start looking for trades a bit harder.
  12. Invader3K
    Speaking of Parker, I don't get why he never gets any mentions. Not like he had a mediocre career or anything.
  13. Invader3K
    I know Gomez speaks at least some English, too. I've seen him talking at spring training this past March. I really don't think you can blame any "language barrier" for his struggles at this point.
  14. Invader3K
    The problem is that A-Gon is such a complete elite type player, you know teams like the Red Sox are going to be in on him. We just don't land players like that in free agency.
  15. Invader3K
    Not a Brewers one, but game used(!): http://cgi.ebay.com/2002-Toronto-Blue-Jays-Garth-Iorg-16-Game-Used-Jersey-/130455298339?pt=US_Baseball_Fan_Shop&hash=item1e5fbde123#ht_4857wt_924
  16. Invader3K
    Because no one cares about Jerry Narron?
  17. Invader3K
    I did that update (honest). I have no idea why it occured to me, but I checked Wikipedia to find out about him, and then updated it. Working on my home computer has it's privileges.
  18. Invader3K
    Minor nitpick: I realize these coaching changes aren't momentous news, but I haven't heard a peep about them from the two Milwaukee sports talk stations yet. Too much excitement from the Packers bye week, I guess.
  19. Invader3K
    My guess is that there's a pretty good chance Capuano comes back.
  20. Invader3K
    Kranitz is an interesting choice. Not sure how his philosophies are different from Peterson's, though.
  21. Invader3K
    From Haudricourt: Brewers name Rick Kranitz as pitching coach and Jerry Narron as bench coach. More info here. The Brewers already announced that hitting coach Dale Sveum would return under a two-year deal. Ed Sedar also returns but moves from first base to third base, and Stan Kyles also returns as the bullpen coach. Garth Iorg, who had served as the Brewers’ minor-league infield instructor, will be the new first base coach.
  22. Invader3K
    I mean with Yo-like upside (when he was in the minors). I understand he won't bring a Bumgarner type name.
  23. Invader3K
    If he can bring a "Yo-like" pitcher, then I think you have to do it.
  24. Invader3K
    Vasquez would be fine on a one year deal, but I wouldn't do any longer with him. He's getting older, and seems to be declining as was noted.
  25. Invader3K
    I don't know where this "Rosenthal is thinly sourced" talk is coming from or is supposed to mean. Seems like he breaks a pretty good amount of stories (like the Peterson story just a few minutes ago as an example).
