    As for no pitchers making it to the majors recently. Fine but the brewers haven't produced a lot of position players either Well, since 1993 in terms of position players, you have: Mark Loretta, Geoff Jenkins, Bill Hall, Ron Belliard, Corey Hart, Prince Fielder, JJ Hardy, Rickie Weeks, Tony Gwynn, Ryan Braun. In terms of pitchers, you have: Ben Sheets. Ouch. And just because we sucked at drafting and developing players in the past doesn't mean we are going to continue to be aweful at it. How about recently? Mike Jones, Manny Parra, Ben Hendrickson, Dana Eveland were all highly touted pitching prospects under this administration. Things haven't exactly worked out well in those aspects. And that doesn't even mention Mark Rogers, who's career never really got off the ground to the point where he was very highly touted to this point. What highly touted position players have flamed out? Dave Krynzel. I would rather stick with them and try to develop them than trade them away for instant satisfaction that won't really create that much of an upgrade. I guess that's where the conversation starts and ends, then. If you don't see Mark Buehrle as much of an upgrade over Claudio Vargas, or Adam Dunn as much of an upgrade over Jenkins/Mench, than I don't know what to tell you.

    That was only at your hairline JJ, don't feel bad for swinging. Ugh.

    Why is Wise still out there? So we can't have him out there tomorrow when we need him? With Wise's MO, he was already unavailable just because he pitched today.

    You watch, the Cubs are going to wake up this series and go on a tear. Seems like every scuffling team we face suddenly does.

    Is there a rule that Shouse can only pitch to a left-handed batter?? Why even have a player/pitcher on the team if his value is to only face one batter?? That's the whole concept behind a LOOGY.
  6. PeaveyFury
    Brian Shouse has been very not good this year.
  7. PeaveyFury
    Bush has struggled this year past the 6th, it seems. Probably got the hook a batter too late there.
  8. PeaveyFury
    Braun has been so anti-clutch so far. He's got two 2-out RBI's in 4 at bats. What more do you want?
  9. PeaveyFury
    Leaving Marquis in here was very strange and made little sense.
  10. PeaveyFury
    Wow, that's truly horrible. Who knows how many patients are also without the organs they had probably waited years to get as it was. "Unspecified organs" implies more than one, and with cardiac guys, at least one was a heart, you'd think.
  11. PeaveyFury
    Well then maybe Yost should reconsider his quote - which was my point. Unless there's a new position defined for a "left fielder" that doesn't have to hit. I thought the quote was perfectly clear in that context that he meant defensively.
  12. PeaveyFury
    If Yost really called Jenkins the "best left fielder in the NL", why the hell isn't he playing every day? Because he can't hit lefty pitching?
  13. PeaveyFury
    There is no way in the world that's an error. That's going to be changed before this one is over. Marquis wasn't even the closest to the ball!
  14. PeaveyFury
    Meltdown!
  15. PeaveyFury
    MVP!
  16. PeaveyFury
    What, Bush screws up at the plate and now he falls to pieces on the mound?
  17. PeaveyFury
    Game over. Thanks Ned. That's just absurd.
  18. PeaveyFury
    Jeebus..... we're going to spark the Cubs to life this series.
  19. PeaveyFury
    Unreal.
  20. PeaveyFury
    Billy, take a few pitches here before you ground into the DP, please. Or before you hit a ball that Jaque Jones misplays worse than Alex Sanchez.
  21. PeaveyFury
    Yeah, at this point in the season, I don't see a big difference between Estrada and Mike Rivera. Rivera is hitting .242/.295/.485 in Nashville. He's Johnny Estrada, but one level lower on the spectrum.
  22. PeaveyFury
    Were either Prince or Estrada actually running there.... it was like a freaking HR trot.
  23. PeaveyFury
    So what do you do stop drafting? Absolutely not. But hitters are usually easier to project than pitchers. The trade off is that if you hit on a pitcher, you've struck gold. Villanueva made the majors and has done well. Yo could probably be starting in the majors this year. Just because other pitchers have burned out doesn't mean these two will. Villanueva is not a home-grown Brewer prospect. And to answer my trivia question from before, if Yo comes up and is successful, then he's the SECOND Brewer pitcher to do so in the last 10 years. It isn't that they haven't produced a lot of pitching prospect success, it's that while they struck gold with Sheets, they've produced NONE besides him. And it might even be a longer period than that, but that's how far I looked back. EDIT: After going back further, you really have to go back to 1994 and Steve Woodard to even find someone that you could call a kind of success.... and maybe even back to 93 and D'Amico otherwise. Even he had serious injury issues.
  24. PeaveyFury
    Sounds like a corporate-type jet. 6 were reportedly on board. No reports of survivors so far.
  25. PeaveyFury
    i think i'd be furious if the brewers traded him for jermaine dye... I don't think anyone here is suggesting trading him for Dye, they're talking about trading him for the likes of Mark Buehrle or Adam Dunn. Though I agree the bullpen thing is a reach.
