Great, now Escobar hurt. Counsell in at shortstop. -
Come on. Just get this one done with.
-
Wednesday day game. Feels weird.
-
Yeah, I've been pleasantly surprised by the attendance levels holding up for the Brewers. I think Milwaukee has shown they will support a winner, so if the team can get back on a winning track next season, I don't think they have to worry about a major attendance dip.
-
I think my ideal scenario next season would be to have both Gamel and McGehee on the MLB roster. I don't care who plays 1B and who plays 3B, as it might be somewhat of a wash who is better defensively right now. Like I said earlier in the thread, if someone is willing to give up a quality pitcher for McGehee, then great. I'm not convinced that will happen, though.

Francisco Rodriguez arrested for assault of family member
Invader3K replied to DannoMac21's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
It's amazing that MLB has two franchises in the top two markets (Dodgers, Mets) that both seem to be incredible messes financially. -
From everything I've heard, this was what Dylan Covey wanted (going to college, I mean), once he found out about his diagnosis. This wasn't his parents forcing him not to sign with the Brewers like some seem to be implying.
-
Well, hard to criticize spelling in an online chat that much. He did spell "hire" correctly in the same paragraph.
-
As an interesting side note, Haudricourt was on the D-List earlier today. He mentioned in 2012, when the current CBA is up, the owners will be demanding a worldwide draft and hard slotting. He made it sound like they won't budge on the issue either. Sounds good to me at this point.
-
Plus, the Brewers could be setting themselves up very nicely for a great haul in next year's draft (which supposedly will be more loaded than this one).
-
It's probably worth noting this is an 18 year old kid, not a grizzled veteran, we're talking about here (barely even a legal adult). It's understandable that he is probably scared, and wants to stay near his family if at all possible.
-
Well, from reading Haudricourt's blog posts, it sounds like the Brewers did everything they reasonably could to make something work out, despite the diabetes diagnosis. They had no way of knowing he had diabetes back in June, presumably. I am sure some will still find a way to blame Melvin for this, ignoring that the Brewers get an extra first round pick next season. Also, one other point to raise. I assume Covey is getting a full ride scholarship at San Diego. Yes, guaranteed money is one thing. But if he applies himself academically and graduates with a useful degree, he'll probably have connections to land a great job. Chances are he'll be able to earn much more than the $2 million he would have gotten from the Brewers; even without pitching a single inning of professional baseball. I think that makes his decision look a lot less "idiotic."

If JJ Hardy is non-tendered - Utility IF?
Invader3K replied to RyDogg66's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
"Huh? Hardy was traded for Escobar? What are you saying? I'm sure the Twins are esctatic they have Hardy instead of Gomez, as they're almost 2 wins better because of it. " No. I said that because you were comparing the two players in terms for WAR. I was comparing them in regards to reality, and their situations with each team. -
Unless the diabetes diagnosis somehow scared the Brewers off? I do agree that it sounded like he would probably sign by all accounts.
-
Yeah, love to hear what his dad says about this.
-
Brewers don't sign Covey I just spoke with Brewers scouting director Bruce Seid and he told me that first-round pick Dylan Covey has decided to go to the University of San Diego rather than sign with Milwaukee. Seid said I'd have to get the specifics from the Covey family and I have a call in to them. He did tell me, "It wasn't about money."
-
I wonder if he started demanding more if all these other guys are signing well over the hypothetical "slot?" FWIW, Keith Law tweeted he thought Covey would sign, but it was shortly before Haudircourt broke the news from Seid.
-
How serious is the competition level in that league, though? I do know a few MLB players have come up through there over the years.
-
I don't remember a ton of people around here panning the Arnett pick last season either. Hindsight is more than 20/20 when it comes to the MLB Draft, it seems.
-
Uh-oh...Haudricourt just tweeted that Seid told him "talks have broken off" with Covey.
-
If JJ Hardy is non-tendered - Utility IF?
Invader3K replied to RyDogg66's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Oh yeah; and I'm sure the Twins are glad they have Hardy at his salary and healthiness versus a cheap, young player with upside, like Escobar, right? -
My guess is he signs for the $2 million he was asking, or maybe just slightly under it.
-
I think Cobb may be somewhat underrated. Maybe because he was a huge jerk. But he probably could have put up more impressive numbers if he had tried to hit for power. He was regarded as fantastic defensively as well. I think Ruth probably was the greatest of all time though. Just an all around amazing athlete.
-
If this stuff only occurred occasionally, it wouldn't be an issue. But it's continual, and it occurs way more often in Witrado's work than anyone else's. Bingo. It's not even the typos that bug me the post. It's the blatant misreporting of the facts regarding the games. Stuff like, "John Axford's 18th save," isn't the first time he's completely flubbed a basic statistical fact. He seems like he just doesn't give a crap about his job. Does the Journal-Sentinel pay him peanuts, and consequently not care about the quality of the work he turns in? I would have to believe there would be a flood of qualified college graduates pining for his position. Maybe he has incriminating pictures of one of his supervisors or something? Those are the only explanations I can think of for his continued employment.
-
What an idiot. No save was recorded yesterday. Seriously, can they not find anyone decent to work when Haudricourt gets a day off? Unbelievable.
