    I'd like to applaud the Milwaukee Brewers for their fine work tonight. Zero men left on base.

    [ Why yes, I certainly want to trade a pitcher without even knowing what to ask for in return. ] Al, he asked about their farm system and options on who the Brewers might be able to get in return. This would go against our "Disrespect and/or condescension towards fellow posters" rule.

    Balfour's got the better K:BB ratio of the two, and lost a bunch of time to injury, so if I had to pick between the two, I'd take him. Personally, I think Gallardo's on his way to the pen and Spurling on the way to the waiver wire, so I don't see either getting a chance (barring injury).

    I guess I don't mind Counsell batting leadoff, as he's not a bad OBP guy. However, Counsell and Graffanino in the lineup in the same time just doesn't seem like a recipe for success.

    Ned's Nine: 3B Craig Counsell 2B Tony Graffanino SS J.J. Hardy 1B Prince Fielder RF Corey Hart LF Geoff Jenkins C Johnny Estrada CF Bill Hall DH Gabe Gross No Braun. Yeah. Good idea. Of course, this probably means the Brewers win by 15.

    In the future, I plan on having it as more of a feature of the site, and not just purely a function of the message boards... that way, you can sort by round, date added, etc, etc.... The plan is to have the next version of BF allow you to slice and dice everything just about any way you want it.

    [ If you can swing it, Merrimac Caverns in MO is pretty cool. I don't remember exactly where it is ] If you're anywhere in the state of missouri, you'll see a billboard for it.

    If you're stopping in Springfield, try heading a bit south to Lambert's Cafe. Funny, I'll be at the St. Louis Zoo this Saturday...

    5th rounder, Caleb Gindl is now Brewers property for $144,900.

    [ New Post Re: Draft Pick Discussion Thread, Rounds 1-5 I was hoping to come home today and see at least 1 top 10 guy signed... ohh well. ] Stay tuned, I should have something real soon.

    [ I have 2 DVR's boxes with 1 being an HD, and am splitting to 5 other TV's. ] The caveat there being that the 5 other TV's only get analog cable... So if channels above 100 have much importance to you (they don't really for me), it's something to consider...

    Woah, how did the DRays get away with paying Reyes $750,000?

    [ Not by my count. He's started 59 of 61 games (96%) including games at DH, and is third on the team in plate appearences just 15 behind everyday leadoff man Carl Crawford with 255. ] You're right, my bad. I counted up his games starting in the field without even thinking about the DH. [ My point was also that Wigginton was a full time starter at 3B for the Mets in 03 and half of 04, when he was traded to the Pirates to make room for David Wright. He then started at 3rd the rest of 2004 for Pittsburgh. Now he's a full time player for the D-Rays and Graffanino is not a full time player for the Brewers. ] Right, I feel like he's moving down the food chain, and is ripe for pickin's as a bench player on a team with playoff aspirations. [ The crux is that he is a key element of their lineup and they aren't going to give him away for an older less productive player who's faced mostly LHP this season. As for a "2nd tier" pitching prospect, exactly what is that? I'm sure the D-Rays are looking for pitching prospects that actually have a decent chance to be solid major leaguers and the Brewers don't want to give those guys up just to marginally upgrade their bench. ] I had a Zach Jackson in mind, and perhaps a Housman for grins... Basically one of those quantity-for-quality deals that the Brewers did when they were in the Rays' shoes.
  17. Brian the Automator
    I'll go with Soundgarden. Outshined and Rusty Cage still hold up, to me.
  18. Brian the Automator
    [ I don't think he'd be enough of an upgrade. He's a nice player, but I'm personally hoping that if the Brewers add another bat, it's someone with a little bit better average, or more power to help down the stretch (like a corner outfielder or something). ] Beggars can't be choosers... I really don't think the Brewers are going to want to give up much in the way of prospects to get a marquee player. I specifically targeted a minor upgrade for that reason.
  19. Brian the Automator
    [ any news? ] If there was even a hint of news, we'd be all over it...
  20. Brian the Automator
    [ Agree with you John. Unless the Brewers want to over pay for another bench player this deal not even goint to be on the radar. ] Think about the kind of trash the Brewers received in similar type deals though...
  21. Brian the Automator
    [ Wigginton may not have an everyday position but he's an everyday player for TB as evidenced by 236 AB so far. ] Yes and no. He's started in 85% of their games, but his position has been pretty evenly spread between 1B, 2B, and 3B. 2nd base is owned by Upton, 3B is owned by Iwamura, and Pena has a much better shot at being a starter at 1B. He's filling the "billy hall" role of the '06 Brewers without the flexibility of being able to play SS. [ Graffanino has never been an everyday player and is 5 years older. ] He started pretty much the same number of games as Wigginton has in Tampa Bay last year while with KC (both, being crappy teams). [ No way TB would have the slightest interest and the value to the Brewers does not warrant adding a pitcher that would interest them enough either. ] I would think if that the Brewers sweetened the pot with enough 2nd tier prospects, the Rays might go for it. Wigginton entered arby eligibility status this year. I can't imagine the Rays wanting much to do with him for much longer, given that they have legit starters at each of his positions.

    What color would be the most obvious?
  23. Brian the Automator
    [ yea ned just doesn't get it. He thinks that we can just keep losing and then start winning again without any changes. He is an idiot. I think hes a good manager but hes just full of crap right now. How can he not be pannicking. We were 14 games over .500 and they way its going right now, agaisnt the tigers and the twins on the road, we wo'nt be over .500 for very much longer. ] Do you really think what Ned says to the media reflects what he honestly feels?
  24. Brian the Automator
    [ I'm not trying to nit pick, I'm just saying. I understand bad and good halves, years, the whole nine. I just think he NEEDS to produce more, and consistently. ] What you said is streaks don't last two months.
  25. Brian the Automator
    Counsell has been a net loss regarding stolen bases over the past two years... Let's just hope ned doesn't get any funny ideas.
