    Why do they need to be MLB ready? Looking at the outlook of this team realistically, unless Melvin has a pretty amazing offseason, this team is probably not going to be in position to contend again until at least 2014, maybe 2015. I'd rather have someone 1-2 years away who has superstar upside than someone MLB ready who has the upside of being a solid MLB starter.

    I always like Sutton. Mostly because if I was out in the back yard and a Brewer hit a home run, I still was able to hear it from the television inside.

    Ideally you would like an elite SS, but I don't think that's a requirement. As has been said I don't think it makes any sense to limit your options. It would be foolish of Melvin to turn down an offer for an elite 2nd base prospect and potential ace just to accept the best SS prospect that he can get offered + an MLB ready reliever. That's why I shake my head every time Melvin talks about who he will talk to and who he won't listen to. Why??? Two years before he hit free agency, Melvin said they "would not listen" to offers for Fielder. To my, unless you're lying and actually listening and just trying to appease your fanbase, that's ridiculous. What is it costing you to listen and see if you get blown away?? If the Cubs' Theo Epstien called and said, "I want to make you an offer for Ryan Braun", I'm listening. Chances are awfully good that I'll be hanging up shortly, but what on earth do I have to lose by listening? Actually, I think I've heard Melvin say on a couple of occasions that his stance on player availability was something like "My house isn't for sale, but if someone offered me $1,000,000 I'd have to think about it." Man, I would have to think that with the money we're overpaying Melvin, he could afford a more lavish house.

    Pathetic AB's by Gomez and Maldonado.

    "Carlos Gomez is not going to get cheated up there, I don't care how hard Chapman throws." Yeah, good call Rock. Gomez may as well have been Enrique Cruz up there.

    Well, at least we need not fret about how we're going to afford Axford in arbitration.

    Ah, now this game is back to that normal feeling.

    I couldn't understand why the Diamondback's DFA'ed Ransom with such good numbers in AAA last year as a SS and great numbers at MLB this year. Now I do.

    Gotta love the "B" lineup with our returning from injury #5 starter in a must-win game.

    I have no problem with Estrada, but I have no belief in the old notion that "you can't lose your spot because of injury". I would like to think that guys who get a shot can have some control over their destiny and earn the right to keep that spot, and not have everything decided by the team's pre-determined agenda's.

    Wait, McClendon was still on the 25 man roster??
  14. adambr2
    If Greinke accepts, I think it could be the thing that allowed us to remain competitive during this era for our franchise. I also think that it could be the thing that we all look back on years from now after a painful rebuilding process as to the point where most people feel it began. Could go either way.

    I agree. It's hard to put so much emphasis on 2 games out of 162 but in this case, at this juncture of the season, I think it's justified. You win them both, you're 5.5 out and feeling pretty good about yourself. You lose both, you're 9.5 out and back to 9 under .500. At that point, you really have to consider moving in a different direction. It's a huge two games, no doubt.

    Jerry and Craig need to stop talking about how Aoki was "just being aggressive" and how that's a good thing. You don't make the 3rd out at 3rd base. You just don't do it.
  17. adambr2
    I don't really think we should buy, but if we don't sell, and we actually think we have a chance, we need a shortstop of some kind. The combination of Izturis/Ransom/Mayonset is an absolute train wreck.
  18. adambr2
    We can keep saying we're 5.5 out, 6.5 out, whatever, but every time we have had a chance to get back in it this season, we fail to take advantage.
  19. adambr2
    I don't agree. There's very little difference between Parra's RHB/LHB career splits. Now, if you just want to say he's not good, I can agree with that.
  20. adambr2
    "Can't check his swing there." Yes, he did...it was a called strike.
  21. adambr2
    I think we have all probably tended to have high hopes for Green over the last year that probably aren't ever going to come to fruition. I think he's probably a AAAA/24th/25th man guy.
  22. adambr2
    We can "count on it" that the game will end at some point? Talk about going out on a limb, Craig.

    Taylor Green has had a golden opportunity this year to make a case for more playing time and he just really isn't.
  25. adambr2
    Every called strike on us is infuriating to me because they are all much worse pitches than the 0-2 pitch to Dunn in the 8th. That pitch made me think that the umpire needed to prevent the 3rd out to protect the Queen. (Somebody please get the reference)!
