    Dear Cubs and Cardinals: We got CC Sabathia. Have you heard about that yet?
  2. splitterpfj
    Irish Brewer, I'm also in 215....Row 9.
  3. splitterpfj
    Who's going to Miller Park to watch the big fella pitch? I got my tickets last night.
  4. splitterpfj
    Durham would be a great bench option, and I would imagine he'd get some starts. His range in the field is positively gone at this point, imagine the reaction to Rickie Weeks coming in as a defensive replacement.

    Id love to see weeks gone and OHudson here...but i dont see how... as long as AZ is in the race.. why would they trade one of their best hitters for a guy that is hitting .210? Hudson is a free agent after the season. That may motivate AZ to deal him, but is also may stop the Brewers from pursuing it.

    Does anyone else think trading LaPorta possibly indicates the Brewers believe they can re-sign Prince? I don't know if I'd say that, but I do think they'll keep Prince here for at least 2009. They can afford to go the arby route with him, if he insists on playing hardball, and they've got plenty of time on their side at this point.

    I am also not looking at the draft picks as consolation for losing CC since it is doubtful we will pick players nearly as good as LaPorta or Green. Really? Why is that? At worst, the Brewers will receive a supplemental first round pick, and a second round pick when Sabathia leaves, more likely, they will receive a first round pick and a supplemental first round pick. LaPorta was taken in round one, Green was taken in round twenty-five. LaPorta should become a fine major league ballplayer, but he is limited to 1B, LF, or RF - positions which are currently manned by Prince Fielder, Ryan Braun and Corey Hart - you would really rather see one of the three best hitters on the team dealt for pitching, to keep the kid who's owned AA? Even if the decision is made to move Prince for pitching help at some point, the Brewers have Brad Nelson, and Chris Errecart in the high minors right now, or perhaps Mat Gamel becomes a first baseman at the big league level - there are options. Right now, after this trade, the Brewers may have a Top 5 minor league system, and next June they'll dominate the draft again. Ten AA All-Stars, not one.

    The only thing on the Orioles is, they seem to have their hearts set on adding a shortstop. I'm not sure that the Brewers would give them Hardy or Escobar at the moment, I think if one of those players is dealt, it will be for a pitcher, and likely after this season.
  9. splitterpfj
    One edit, Bando, Brantley IS NOT part of the trade, there's no maybe on that point.
  10. splitterpfj
    That makes sense, I could tell there was still a moving part, a PTBNL would explain things. For the record, I absolutely, positively hope it is not Green.
  11. splitterpfj
    I absolutely want a bullpen arm, and FYI, Erik Bedard is scratched from his next start with a sore shoulder, so I would imagine that's one "maybe" that won't happen.
  12. splitterpfj
    39, you're good with me, don't worry about it. It sounds like one of your clients has been involved in a trade - I'm sure that's a very stressful thing to handle, especially when there's a million people calling for confirmation. FWIW, the people I've heard from today are not members of the media. Nobody can nail down the remaining names, that's true, but Taylor Green is the one that keeps popping up. I'm sure we'll all know soon.
  13. splitterpfj
    Relax, 39. You'll notice I said it wasn't confirmed, and you'll notice that I wondered if Cleveland hasn't even decided yet. You have no reason to question me, either.
  14. splitterpfj
    I do not think Cain is in the deal, I do think Green is in the deal. It's a bit of an odd situation, I have that from a reliable source, but as soon as he said it, he pointed out that he couldn't confirm it. I get no indication that the deal is not done, but there do seem to be some loose ends - if that makes any sense. I almost wonder if Cleveland isn't still deciding which two guys to take.
  15. splitterpfj
    1. Get a bullpen arm. 2. Come on Rickie! If he gets on a roll, the offense will crush people. 3. I just bought tickets for Tuesday night....the big man had better pass his physical!
  16. splitterpfj
    Yep, absolutely, change threads please.
  17. splitterpfj
    Its nice to hear that the Brewers would get 5 of the top 35 picks next year if Sheets and Sabathia are gone Might, it depends on who signs them.
  18. splitterpfj
    Multiple sources emailing me to say there is no confirmation of a deal at this time. It does sound as though they are very close - but no confirmation as of now.
  19. splitterpfj
    Hardy visited a Witch Doctor when his shoulder was sore.....I am now convinced.
  20. splitterpfj
    I believe Cameron would not bring draft picks, because the Brewers would be declining his option, rather than having him declare free agency - this is what happened with Jenkins as well.
  21. splitterpfj
    I'm glad we'll hit last today.
  22. splitterpfj
    They've also flashed a graphic of Sabathia on the screen, and discussed his stats on the season, etc. Obviously, nobody in Milwaukee is trying to keep a secret, regardless of whether CC actually lands here or not.
  23. splitterpfj
    I believe they said he finished ahead of Fukudome in the voting.

    I'm rooting for the Cubs, so that the Brewers can catch St Louis, and pull into a tie for both second place in the division, and the current lead for the wildcard. I'm rooting for the Cardinals, so that the Brewers can pull to within 2 1/2 games of the Cubs, who were going to win the World Series easily, as recently as two weeks ago.

    On the Phillies' board, they're saying the offer is comprised entirely of players currently in Class A. Why would Cleveland do that?
