    Wesley Willis?

    And the Brewers are 1-4. But who's counting? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Edit: Oops, sac bunt, nevermind. 1-3. But... I just like keeping track of the score, so I'll stick to that.
  3. And That
    The Reds are 0-3 with RISP today.

    Counsell is so gritty, he'll try to move the runner over with 2 outs.
  6. And That
    Brewers 3, Reds 1.

    I agree.

    This is a friendly reminder to not simply post "I agree with that poster" and nothing more because it doesn't add to the discussion, and if everyone did that... well, you know.

    I want to see Counsell spot start for Fielder one day, just to see if Yost bats Craiggers 4th. I really do.
  11. And That
    1: Putting extra punctuation in the title will not get it extra notice. 2: It's already being discussed here.

    Everyone- Please stop being condescending. My "post delete" button is getting worn out. -Thanks
  13. And That
    Brantley playing LF, Cain playing CF. I was wondering how playing time in CF will play out now with those two on the same roster again.
  14. And That
    Gardner was claimed off waivers from the Reds at the end of spring training, used to be a top prospect of theirs, and the need hasn't arisen to take him off yet.
  15. And That
    I don't think Fielder's future with the organization is inextricably linked to Gamel's role on the field. If Fielder is traded in the offseason, I doubt Gamel will be moved to first base just to fill his spot... Gamel won't be on the opening day roster next year anyway. Brad Nelson could fill in for Fielder, as could any number of guys not currently in the organization. Gamel is at his most valuable at third base, and they'll keep him there as long as possible. Gamel's future at third may be more closely tied to what the Brewers decide to do with the Weeks/Hardy/Escobar triumvirate. If the team decides to keep both Weeks and Hardy long term around Escobar, Gamel would have to be shifted to another position (assuming Hardy slides over to third).

    If Catalanotto, who has been an on and off Brewerfan favorite since 2001, would clear waivers, wouldn't he be a logical target? -He's left handed. -He's used to not playing every day, yet is still a good hitter. -He's only owed about $1.25 mil over the rest of the season. -He'll make $4 mil next year, plus a 2010 option of $5 mil or a $2 mil buyout -He was previously acquired by Doug Melvin while in Texas. Cat isn't mind-blowing or anything, but he'd provide a good option off the bench. The only downside is that the logical move to clear a roster spot for him would be DFAing Branyan.
  17. And That
    Dominican right hander and 18 year old prospect-in-waiting Adrian Rosario looks like a logical candidate to start tonight for the Baby Brewers if he and Damon Krestalude continue to flip-flop starting assignments in the rotation.
  18. And That
    Does it maybe send the wrong message to Mat if you start moving him around the diamond a lot in practice? He needs to get comfortable and get more confidence at third base... taking flies in RF and grounders at 1B might detract from that, IMO. Like I said... I think he'd take to an OF position or 1B pretty quickly. No need to get it in his head that the Brewers are already thinking of moving him. And I don't think they are. Money and Iorg both seem convinced he can stick at third... while some of that might be organizational smoke blowing, I don't think they'd say it if they didn't believe it.
  19. And That
    Games of interest, centrally timed: 6:05 - Astros @ Cubs - B. Moehler (6-4, 4.23) vs. R. Dempster (12-4, 2.90) 8:40 - Pirates @ Diamondbacks - Y. Herrera (1-1, 9.00) vs. D. Haren (11-5, 2.62)
  20. And That
    Ryan Braun picked up left field pretty well, and they are pretty similar athletes. If the Brewers decide after next year that Gamel can't hack it at third, he'd have the AFL, maybe instructionals and all of spring training to make the switch to his new position. IMO, the only reason Gamel won't be playing 3B in AAA next year is if the Brewers trade for a long-term solution at third base who is already in the majors, say Alex Gordon.

    Wow! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    Spending time at catcher may be detrimental to Lawrie's development at 3B or 2B, but he has far more value as a catcher. So spending time at 3B or 2B would inhibit his development at the most valuable defensive position. I'm going to defer to the Brewers' scouting/development staff in that if they think he can stick at catcher, I have no reason not to believe them. If he develops as a catcher, he has more upside than Salome or Lucroy, yes? It's impossible to predict what the Brewers' catching/third base situation will look like in a few years, so if the Brewers think he can be a catcher, I'm willing to see how it plays out.

    Which "folks" do not like Brantley?
