Yes he has been what we needed. I just hope we don't do something stupid like dump him the minute a couple of the wounded/injured come back from there rehab stints. That would be a huge injustice and ticks me off more than anything in the MLB. I wish they would just add a roster spot for a pitcher to the 26 man rule with all the injuries now days.
Why are physical measurements like height's and weight's on players always fudged?
Seen Kenley Jansen on MLB Network and he is listed at 6' 5" - 265 lbs, when he is every bit of 300 pounds.
Just wondering?
Capra started out like a house on fire but has been extinguished as of late. At least our cold big boppers got hits today, Yelich, Contreras, Hoskins. Hopefully a sign of good things to come.
I hope Contreras can get off the struggle bus in Colorado's thin air. We all know his potential but there has to be a point very soon where we start at least platooning him with Haase. Because 3 hits for the season batting .097 is one of the reasons we look kind of "blah" this season so far. We can't blame the pitching for every loss.
One thing I have noticed since David Stearns has left is a noticeable decline in pitching with the Brewers. Stearns had an ability to develop and acquire talented pitchers at a much better level than Matt Arnold does. But On the other hand I believe Matt Arnold is a little better on the offensive side of the baseball.
I never seem to get to excited anymore with any of these trades we make because 1/2 are players I have never heard of and the other 1/2 are players that I have heard of but were on the injured list with in the past 12 months or at the tail end of there career. At least he is a young pitcher, I hope he pitchers great and works out. JMHO
