    No, there isn't anyone I'd trade Braun for right now, including Tulo.

    I'm sure it's about money, but if they had taken Gallo with the third pick, I'd say the Brewers did extremely well. I like the first two picks, but honestly, I know almost nothing about Haniger, that pick surprised me.

    I can't argue against the pick, I think the two guys they took fit this spot in the draft...neither was a reach.
  4. splitterpfj
    I want Gallo.

    Moving up....Sandy Koufax, Bob Feller, Carl Hubbell Moving down...Gaylord Perry, Fergie Jenkins http://www.baseballintheblood.com/?page_id=451

    Dunn has one chance, and that's a big pile of home runs. The answer is the same as Konerko's...500 HR, or no chance at all.

    Yes, he is worth keeping, he's a solid MLB pitcher - why not? It's all about what Marcum is willing to take, I wouldn't give him a bad contract, but I'd certainly keep him here if a deal can be reached.

    The White Sox are actually playing Orlando Hudson at 3B right now, and they lead their division...and the Dodgers are using Hairston every day at 3B, with Ellis out at 2B. There are teams with a need every bit as obvious as the Brewers have, who are leading their divisions at the moment, Youkilis may cost more than it appears.

    Let's go Sar-ah (clap clap clapclapclap)
  10. splitterpfj
    MLB Network is discussing this right now, apparently, Youkilis has gone from "might be moved", to, "will be moved."

    That last part is where you and I disagree, Nottso. Yes, there is a lot of crazy stuff out there, and sometimes people get away with far too much...but Pete was convicted of tax evasion, for which he went to jail, and Pete is banned from baseball. Pete did not walk on this one...they nailed him. I just think tying all of that into the Hall of Fame, and the sentiment that voting him in would somehow help perpetuate society's ills, is reaching way too far. I'm with you all the way on most of what you say, I just think keeping a player off the ballot based on something he did off the field is like tearing up a kid's spelling test because he just flunked math. It's two different things...give him both tests, and both grades. I don't think Pete Rose deserves sympathy - not in the least, I just think they should have let the voters decide. If Pete ever does make it into the Hall, I think his plaque should list career hits, games played, etc, etc...and then say BANNED FOR LIFE FOR BETTING ON BASEBALL - 1989. Pete made his bed, I have a feeling, if he had admitted to betting on baseball from the start, the Hall of Fame would not have changed its rule. I think they knew they had him, and when he kept denying, it made people mad, so they made this move.

    Nottso, I don't want to "give Pete a pass"...he deserves his ban......I just think eligibility to work in baseball and eligibility for election to the Hall of Fame based on accomplishments as a player are two separate categories, thus, the rule change that was specifically aimed at Pete Rose is a mistake which should be reversed. Those signs that say they'll kick you out of baseball if you bet on the game didn't say anything about Hall of Fame eligibility during Rose's career...because players who were suspended were still eligible to be on the ballot. I think Rose should have remained on the ballot...given all that happened, who's to say he would have even been elected? This is Pete's own fault, and I'm still mad at him - he had been a hero - he no longer is. I get how serious the issue of gambling is, and I think reinstating Pete to baseball would be a horrible decision, I just think he has earned both HOF election, and his lifetime ban from working in the game.

    Jackie Robinson and Paul Molitor are now tied.
  14. splitterpfj
    Jim Callis had the Brewers taking Russell and Gallo...I don't know if it'll impact things or not, but I believe Russell is a Scott Boras client.
  15. splitterpfj
    Konerko's always been good, but he's never been the best...he's got to be among the all-time leaders in something sexy when he retires, which he won't be - I think he's got to get to 500 HR.

    Ryan Braun drives in twice as many runs as the Los Angeles Dodgers...
  17. splitterpfj
    jlau...never tell me that again...
  18. splitterpfj
    I think they're already World Series favorites.

    I'm glad the Rose memorabilia is there, for sure, but it doesn't impact my opinion on this matter in either direction. I can't imagine a reason why anyone would reinstate Rose to baseball, there's no reason for him to ever work in the game again. I also can't imagine a reason not to have a plaque on the wall of a museum that acknowledges Rose's place among baseball's greatest players - he earned that just as obviously. To me, the two issues are exactly that...TWO issues. I think the Hall of Fame made a mistake when they changed their rules, effectively removing Rose from the ballot. I just think the voters should decide this, the same way they decide for every other player. Rose got paltry vote totals when he was on the ballot before the rule change, if he was passed over by the voters and his name fell off the ballot...so be it.

    Ted Lilly to the DL with shoulder inflammation.
  21. splitterpfj
    With nearly every Brewers player you've ever heard of currently on the DL, I thought we might as well have some fun and track our own maladies through the course of the season. My stepson tore ankle ligaments yesterday, playing in a "bouncy house" at his HS graduation party. No word yet on a possible replacement child while he mends.

    Jered Weaver left his start tonight with a back injury too...this has been a terrible year for injuries all over baseball.
  23. splitterpfj
    Lucroy's hand is broken, 15-day DL, Maldonado up to take his spot.
  24. splitterpfj
    This week's winner is...Razor Shines! http://www.baseballintheblood.com/?p=508

    It was as simple as this, Capuano told the Brewers, "One year, one million, and give me a chance to win the 5th starter spot in the spring." They told him no, they told him Narveson was their guy for the rotation. The Brewers wanted Capuano back, as insurance in the bullpen in case of injury, but he wanted to be a starter. He would still be here, if they'd have given him the one-year deal and a chance to compete for the rotation last spring. Even if Narveson had won the spot, Chris would have lived with that and then pitched in relief, in the role Estrada filled last year.
