Do you know something that really bugs me? People who stop moving the second the step off an escalator.

Cleveland will deal Shin-Soo Choo this winter, which does the Brewers no good. Cleveland will be considering the futures of several other players as well, as they decide whether they have a nucleus to build around, or whether they need to try again. Among the possibilities...Chris Perez. Age 28 next season, made 4.5M this year as a "Super 2", is arbitration eligible this winter, FA after the 2014 season. Career ERA, 3.17, WHIP 1.17. Perez had a dip in Ks last season, but rebounded this year to a K/9 of 9.4, and a K/BB of 3.93, which was well above his career average of 2.28. Perez has 75 saves in the last two seasons. Cleveland wants, "young pitching." If he is made available, I would think Perez is a target for the Brewers this winter.

The Brewers can hit more home runs than the other guys, and they can outrun the other guys too. This offense really is outstanding, I hope people can see how unique it is to be this good when the ball is carrying...and still be this good on cold nights when the ball goes nowhere. I tip my cap to Doug Melvin for building an offense that is so difficult to stop. The additions of Aoki and Segura have pushed the team speed to the top of the league, and somehow, the team HR count never missed a beat without Prince. Very impressive.
-
Most starting pitchers can't get by on two pitches, I doubt Peralta will be able to do so. If Wily comes up with a changeup, he could be outstanding, if he never does, he's probably going to be a streaky sort, who belongs in the middle of the rotation, not at the top of it.
-
I think Carlos has played himself into the starting job for next season.
-
If I know anything about Mr Attanasio, he sees his team nearing .500, and he's thinking, "We can do this next season." I'm betting the team makes some moves for bullpen arms, and maybe one veteran starting pitcher this winter, while returning the daily lineup intact, with Gomez starting daily in center.
-
I'm happy for Rogers right now. He certainly didn't look overmatched at the major league level, and he's squarely in the discussion for next year's rotation.
-
The free agent market isn't very deep this winter, so I guess the Dodgers decided to spend their money during the season. I think Gonzalez will help for a while, but if Crawford doesn't bounce back, this will be the worst financial move in MLB history.
-
Randy Wolf gave the Brewers all they could have hoped for over the first two years of his contract here, but this year, it just hasn't worked. I like him, and I wish him well. Thanks Randy!

The quick story...this is a kid who finished high school throwing in the high 80s with good command of multiple pitches...a nice little story that turned into a D-2 scholarship. The thing is, this kid was an August baby, the youngest kid in his class...and he wasn't done growing. Now six-two and solid, he's now consistently throwing 93 MPH, and he's hit 95. The real reason this is a story, in my world, is my connection to him. His father was one of my best friends...his father died 2 1/2 years ago. I had gotten this young man introduced to a few scouts, and I was able to get him invited to pitch in a big tournament in Jupiter, FL, where he was seen by dozens of scouts, leading his D-2 deal. His dad went with him to that tournament, calling me when they got home to tell me how proud he was of his son, and to thank me for helping him along. Before his dad died, this kid had already committed to his college, and his dad was beaming, calling me to tell me about workout regimens, strength-building, and the occasional call from a scout. Honestly, I thought the kid had a shot at a late-round draft selection coming out of high school, but it didn't happen. When his dad passed, I promised his mom that I'd be here if they needed me, and I made sure the kid new how to reach me, and that I was in his corner. This summer, he's pitching in a wooden bats league, and he's been told he'll likely be taken in the first ten rounds next June. We'll see what happens....

OK, I'll forgive your ignorance...that is my site, and I'm writing about a kid I've known since he was two.
-
I'm glad they're going to shut Fiers down in a few weeks, that makes sense, but I don't see any reason why he shouldn't go 200 IP next year.

The Bullpen - Would You Make Henderson the Closer
splitterpfj replied to slappzilla's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Let's see Henderson in the 9th inning role for a while, we need to know if he's part of the future or not. I'd use Ax in the 8th for a while, with K-Rod only pitching when someone needs a day off...he's not part of the future, and he's lost his role in the present. -
Rogers has 17.2 IP, 20 Ks, a 4.08 ERA, and a 1.13 WHIP thus far. I like him, I'm glad he's getting a chance to audition for next season at the MLB level.

I'd like to give a lifetime "bugging me" shout out to a couple of relatives. That's all I'm saying...

Depth, for lack of a better word, is good, depth is right...depth works.
-
Side note...Kottaras just took Greinke deep.
-
OK, Brewerfans...you tell me, has Carlos Gomez "arrived", or has he had a hot streak? We all know the skills...great speed, great defense, obvious power potential, and no idea what he's doing in the batter's box. Do you commit to Carlos as the center fielder on this team, do you continue to use him in a platoon, or do you trade him this winter?
-
Simply amazing. Whatever awards he does or does not win, Mr Fiers is amazing.
