    Why didn't the Brewers have Capuano ready into the inning? Ridiculous.
  2. And That
    If he wasn't a first rounder, he would be a different pitcher.

    Serves me right for trying to remember things. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    IIRC, Haudricourt reported that Riske's contract was not covered by insurance.

    Greg Hopkins goes 6-6 tonight for Helena. That's the first time I ever recall seeing that from a Brewers minor leaguer. Heckuva game.
  6. And That
    Well, I'd still take those three over the 27 innings we got out of Linebrink. San Diego got the better end of the deal due to Thatcher alone. If they get anything out of Inman or Garrison, it's a bonus for them.

    Mat Gamel isn't going to come close to netting Shields. The other player would have to be significant, though I'm not sure why he'd be a PTBNL.
  8. And That
    I don't remember many people saying fielding percentage is "laughably worthless." To me, it is somewhat useful at the extremes (especially low extremes). If someone has played 100 games at third base with a .850 fielding percentage, I'm relatively certain they presently suck at playing third base (or official scorers have a vendetta against them). OTOH, if someone has a .950 fielding percentage at third, I'm relatively certain they aren't Ryan Braun bad there, but I need a lot more information to determine anything other than that. I think it's more of a point of entry stat than anything that should usually be used to make a determination about someone.
  9. And That
    While Gamel is a guy that would probably interest the Rays, the odds of Shields getting through waivers are low, as are the chances they'd have interest in Bush starting games for them down the stretch.

    Dickerson is a very good defender and I guess it can't hurt to get Cain some exposure in RF.

    I don't think this costs Gomez his job. If nothing else, it might provide the opportunity for Carlos to go down to AAA next year and you know, earn his way on to the big club. He's only 4 months older than Lorenzo Cain. He still has time to put it together, even if its a small chance.
  14. And That
    Trey Watten has a 6.25 (!!) GO/AO ratio over his last 10 appearances, 24.2 IP. His GB% for the year is now over 60%, and he continues to get better year over year in just about all areas except for K/9 (which is concerning, though not as concerning as it would be for a non-GB machine). Just sayin'.
  15. And That
    Great trade. Love it. Dickerson's ISO in AAA whilst playing in the International League is .189. He may not have prodigious power, but his power is certainly more than good enough against RHP for a center fielder/backup corner outfielder. He plays very good defense, though his struggles against lefties might well preclude him from being an everyday guy. And yah, he's a little older, but he was the Reds' 12th best prospect going into the 2009 season. He's a bit of a late bloomer. FWIW, he's a cousin of Eric Dickerson.
  16. And That
    Sounds reliever and budding cult hero Brandon Kintzler was activated from the 7-day DL. He missed the last few weeks with a strained oblique. To the Nashville 7-day DL goes lefty Chuck Lofgren. Lofgren started Wednesday and was lit up.
  17. And That
    The unemployment rate is still in the mid-9's. If people aren't working or are fearful of not working, they're less likely to buy tickets to a crappy team. If the unemployment rate was in the 4-5 range, I'd bet attendance would be down less than 5%.
  18. And That
    Luckily (or unluckily, depending on your opinion of the situation), Edmonds' achilles won't hold up to start every game while Gomez is out, so Cain should see at least a few starts.
  19. And That
    Think it is safe to lock this thread given Hart's extension.
  20. And That
    This is correct response.

    LCD Soundsystem is one if my favorite bands (even if their new album was a little on the sucky side) and I've never seen them. They're coming to St. Paul on 10/23, 3 days before our next child's due date. What to do, what to do...
  22. And That
    Words can not describe how much I don't want Weeks to sign with Boras. Stay away from Rickie, Prince.
  23. And That
    I agree that we're probably buying high on our own player, but it's really just a two-year extension for $19 mil. It shouldn't be concrete blocks to the payroll if he regresses, and there's a modest chance that Hart outperforms the deal, especially if he moves to first base. I was surprised to see the announcement, and hope to be equally as surprised by a Weeks extension in the near future.
  24. And That
    Fire [insert name of current manager and/or name of current general manager and/or name of current third baseman].

    Lucroy graduated off the Power 50 with his second AB on Saturday. Congrats!
