The Brewers did the only thing they could do. They had to make the QO. The $10M doesn't really enter into the equation....its a fixed cost...its gone. Woody for a full season...or even 75% of a season is worth it in today's market. We saw how effective he can be even with reduced velo...what will he be like if he gets a mile or two back? And, remember, this will be his first "normal" off-season in 3 years. It'll be interesting to see what kind of pitcher shows up in the spring. Moreover, you have to trade Freddy if he isn't signed by the winter meetings. His market value is just too high...way higher than Willie A. I hate it, but that's just how it is. That makes Woody all the more important to the Brewers. I don't think they keep both...that takes innings away from their youngsters. BTW...I know I'm in the minority, but the compensatory pick doesn't impress me all that much. The Brewers draft well, but the odds of any pick making the big club and having an impact are way below 50%(more like 15%??) I realize that more bites at the apple is a good thing, but in the case of a player like Woodruff its not meaningful compensation...at least to me. Better than nothing, however.

I love Freddy. I especially love that he's been pretty much healthy. If you're ever going to give a longer deal to a pitcher, he's the guy. And...it seems he'd like to stay in Milwaukee. However, to do that he'll have to sign below his market value. Bottom line: if you cannot sign him by the winter meetings, its irresponsible not to trade him. His value is just too high to let him walk. Letting him go will hurt a lot more than the others, emotionally, but you have to do it.

No. There is only one name. Selig. The man that brought baseball back to Milwaukee...the man who kept it here...the man who got the stadium built. He was at the game Sunday, and looks ok for 91, but how long will we have him? Ueck was great...miss him a lot. Selig is the reason we have baseball here. Lets not forget that. Selig Field @ American Family Stadium. Lets do it sooner rather than later.
