    I chuckled a bit when I saw that "Yost, Ned - 3" is an option.

    Well, a low risk minor league deal certainly wouldn't be horrible either way. You are right. I mean, if Branyan can bounce back to be a very good player for the Brewers, Sexson could just as easily, I suppose.
  3. Invader3K
    RayGrill: Yeah, that combined with the fact that he's not performing at the All-Star level he did last year (though still playing respectably), is really not going to make people miss him that much if he does end up getting traded.

    Tavarez was quite mediocre with the Brewers, so no big loss there. Will be nice to have Riske back. Hopefully he is back to top flight shape.

    It would have to be MLB or MLB-ready talent. I'm not familiar with what the Cubs have in their system, but a couple top AAA prospects ready to start next season would be a good starting point.

    Tempting, but doesn't really help the Brewers as a team. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    Actually not the dumbest idea ever, but I really don't see any evidence that Sexson is going to become close to the player that he was at the beginning of this decade again.

    I really doubt they've "made no effort to lock Ben up". (I realize you're just saying it seems as if that has happened). Mark Attanasio made a comment early in the season (or maybe it was during spring training, I can't remember), that he "expected Sheets to test free agency, as that is his right." I would guess that means the Brewers did try to make an effort, and Sheets basically told them he wasn't going to re-sign before the end of the season, and weighing other offers. The other possible scenario is that the Brewers have weighed his injury history against other options, and decided that Sheets will probably be too expensive for them. I think it's more likely that Melvin has talked to Sheets, and found that pursuing a contract extension at this point would be a fruitless effort. Again, we have to remember that contract negotiations are a two way street. The Brewers can make all the offers in the world, but if Sheets isn't interested, what's the point?
  9. Invader3K
    What would the Brewers' asking price to the Cubs for Sheets start at? It's pretty funny to think about.

    The more talk I hear, the more I'm thinking Prince is traded either this season, or before next season. It just seems like it's inevitable.
  11. Invader3K
    There is a precedent for athlete tax problems being reported. It's not like Prince is being singled out here. Remember that flap a couple years ago about Rollie Fingers?
  12. Invader3K
    Yeah, I never want to hear anyone griping about how the Brewers "need to pay Prince" again.
  13. Invader3K
    I'm not happy when any player gets hurt. I actually, and I probably shouldn't admit this here, kind of like Carlos Zambrano. He's a complete ball player, and I think he's fun to watch pitch. Am I happy that the Cubs could now have a tougher time making the playoffs? Yes.
  14. Invader3K
    It seems like "He doesn't walk enough" is the ultimate cookie cutter argument when someone wants to criticize a player for his offense. I've even seen in levied against A-Rod on this board. Some guys just hit more than they walk. Not every guy can excell in every single offensive stat.
  15. Invader3K
    I don't know if Prince is too much to give up, if LaPorta and Gamel are waiting in the, and as good as everyone on this board makes them out to be.

    Running out of Klements sausage has killed several families. It's an epidemic...they're just trying to warn us.
  17. Invader3K
    Well, that is the weird thing, they are only one game under .500 and have won 3 of their last 4 games, IIRC, but they just fired their manager. Maybe without the Willie distraction, they will settle down and continue to play winning baseball.
  18. Invader3K
    You don't pass on an international superstar like Ichiro. To me, the benefits he would bring would outweigh the downsides (getting older and doesn't hit for power). Would love to have him, but it will never happen, since the Brewers typically don't land players like that.
  19. Invader3K
    no, the media was informed via email, not Willie himself. OK, thanks, I figured that made more sense.
  20. Invader3K
    Hank is going to make Yankees fans wish for the restrained and thoughtful public persona of his father.
  21. Invader3K
    I like the idea of doing it NFL style, personally. I mean by having a weighted system...not having it after the championship game when no one cares anymore and half the starters voted in elect not to play.
  22. Invader3K
    You guys who won't vote for Braun because of his OBP seem crazy to me. It's your right, I just don't get it.
  23. Invader3K
    Actually, just glancing at the stats, unless I'm looking at something wrong, Braun leads NL OFs in hits and home runs.
  24. Invader3K
    Well, if you feel that OBP is the most important stat for an outfielder, than no, I guess you aren't supposed to vote for him.
  25. Invader3K
    Is it true that he was notified of his firing via e-mail? They were talking about that on the radio this morning, but I have no idea if that part is true or not. Still, a completely botched handling of this whole thing that makes the Mets look like an even bigger joke.
