    I'd imagine it's been a busy week for Josh, but I was just curious if the Brewers added any additional DDSM clients this draft?

    I could actually look out my window yesterday afternoon and look to the left and watch the clouds rotating to the left, then look to the right and watch the clouds rotating to the right. What I said at that point would be a strike-able offense here. Tons and tons of rain again this morning so far in the Madison area, with no end in sight today. With storms still expected tomorrow and Tuesday, flooding is becoming a serious concern.

    I have little doubt that the Brewers have personnel that read this board, little doubt that some of the players probably read it, and no doubt that relatives of the players read it (as we know from those that have even made themselves known here). But I highly doubt anyone with say so reads it- I'd be extremely surprised if someone like Melvin, Ash, or Yost has ever been here. Maybe Jack Z due to draft stuff, but that might even be out there.

    Am I just conditioned to worry about 1st round HS righties? Just keep reminding yourself that he was taken closer to where we took Gallardo than where we took Jones or Rogers. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    Major warnings everywhere west of Madison. Dew points in Watertown are 81- practically unheard of, and leading to fast developing serious weather. Be safe everybody!

    Holy moly, we're taking anything and everything that throws right handed.

    Even if Z thought he had a crappy day, he woud still be ecstatic about the picks on draft day. Yeah, no one is going to come out and say, 'boy, things just didn't work out like we hoped. We had a few guys targeted, but they were all gone when we picked and had to settle for these guys'. But that said, I think we added some serious talent to the system, which is exactly what we needed to do especially on the pitching side.
  8. PeaveyFury
    Yeah, main page is back up.
  9. PeaveyFury
    The main site is down as well, FWIW.

    Thanks FTJ, I stand corrected.

    Melvin wasn't 'motivated' to trade Turnbow either. I don't believe he ever dropped the 'not motivated' line on Turnbow. But the point is, he often says one thing and does another very shortly thereafter.

    From the JS: But general manager Doug Melvin is nowhere near ready to make a deal. "I'm not really motivated to do that," Melvin said. Ah, the dreaded 'not motivated' line- I predict Hall is traded before next week at this time. http://blogs.jsonline.com/brewers/archive/2008/06/03/hall-not-talking-melvin-not-ready-to-deal-him.aspx

    That was a pretty good example of Hardy's un-fastness.

    It's the fault of the American consumer. If everyone that bought a foreign pickup/suv had bought a GM product instead, that plant would be expanding rather than closing. No, it's the fault of the company for not shifting it's ways to the market sentiment fast enough. They've had three years warning that oil prices would be skyrocketing and become an increasing burden on the wallets of their target buyers, but instead of shifting away from gas-guzzling SUV's, Tahoe's and the like, they let the foreign makers sweep into the market with cars of a high quality that get great gas mileage and last a really long time. As others said, this was necessary to get the company back on track, but they got themselves off track in the first place. As I heard on the radio this morning, the American car makers are struggling like mad with sales and profitability, but the foreign makers are cruising right along- the consumers are buying cars, they're just not buying the ones that GM, Ford, and Chrysler thought/hoped/prayed they would.

    Don't get me wrong, it's definitely a big blow, and still very important to the city, it's just not going to make it another Flint, MI like I keep hearing people say. No, it's not going to be another Flint situation or anything like that, but as RoCo said, it's about more than the 2,600 employees- all the satellite companies leave as well, plus the potential impact to the restaurants/stores/etc in the area as a trickle-down is almost a sure thing.

    Holy moly, GM practically IS the Janesville economy.
  17. PeaveyFury
    For as bad as the Gagne move turned out, the Torres/Mota trades have been absolutely fantastic for the team to this point.
  18. PeaveyFury
    I'm saddened to wonder who the 3rd will be. . . Or Bo Diddley. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    We offered Lee a 4 year, $48 million deal that we knew he wouldn't take. Houston gave him a 6 year, $100 million deal. This isn't a Coco Cordero difference, the difference is over $50 million. To be fair, 100 million wasn't even on Carlos' radar that July- reportedly the hang up was that the Brewers wouldn't go a fifth year at 12 million per for a 5/60 contract. 6/100 only came after the wild spending happened fairly unexpectedly that offseason.
  20. PeaveyFury
    Few teams trade cheap players though. It's not usually about the cost, it's about the return. If they think his value is high(est) now, they'd trade him regardless of how much he makes.
  21. PeaveyFury
    Cook is a good thought, but as end said, they're not going to be motivated to move him so it'd take a pretty significant offer to get the Rockies to consider it. I'd probably prefer Cain at this point, personally.
  22. PeaveyFury
    Are JJ, Weeks, or Cameron really performing so well right now that having all three of them out of the lineup is actually going to hurt us that much?
  23. PeaveyFury
    They usually do a reasonably good job with the MVP's, save for Rollins last year. Prior to that mistake, they really hadn't screwed that up in either league in quite a while. The ROTY has been fairly correct as well. But Gold Gloves are a joke to absurd levels.
  24. PeaveyFury
    Yeah, this has worked out insanely well to this point.
  25. PeaveyFury
    I was going to have him sign my chest, but I thought it might creep him out. Eh, only if you were singing "Wind Beneath My Wings" while he was doing it. Which makes for a REALLY funny mental picture http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
