Cameron and Kapler- Let the debate begin
Greg Vaughn replied to FVBrewerFan's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I think we have a large enough sample size now. Cameron is exactly what I said before he started after his 25 game suspension. He doesn't belong in the two hole and to be honest I prefer Kapler right now, hands down. -
finally a "coast" game. We needed this in the worst way.
-
sure glad we got this AAA lineup going today. Everyone still want their refunds? I saw this lineup and got excited today....no lie.
-
I personally like the lineup. All the substitutes are for individuals who aren't "tearing it up". Joe Dillon leading off and playing for Weeks...I would like to see it more. At least he isn't benching Fielder, Hart or Braun.
-
I know very well it's an extremely small sample size. I just like to vent how bad Cameron stinks up the joint at times. 2-20 with 13 k's over 5 games is absolutely atrocious. I also just like to vent about everyone who always uses the line "small sample size". My point being, over these last 5 games Cameron has been horrid.

Cameron is 2-20 in his last 5 games.......13 K's. Are you kidding me? Good thing it's such a small sample size.

No choice now... (Sheets extension)
Greg Vaughn replied to Harold Hutchison's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Has everyone forgotten Ben Sheets career with the Milwaukee Brewers? He has always been injury prone and always will be. We need to trade him now (or later in the year) while his value is at it's peak. We can't afford to be throwing 10's of millions @ injury prone pitchers....period. -
Nice post and good points. I STRONGLY DISAGREE with "statheads" (not implying you socal) and the role a major league manager influences the W/L record. Not everything can be measured statistically. If that's the case...one day in the future we will have Robots managing the game. Yost is a bad in game manager and, I believe, a horrible motivator/psychologist. The managers/coaches job is to get the most out of your talent....day in and day out......Yost doesn't do that. Those who think everything about managing/coaching is X's & O's have probably never coached or managed a game outside of kick-ball in their life. He needs to go...it's called bad karma. He's a loser, plain and simple.
-
The thing that is bothering me with this whole "NED" ordeal, is how reactive the club is going about things. I don't care if we win 80% of our series the rest of the way....that doesn't hide the fact that Yost is a bad manager. I don't know why we have to sit around and wait for some magic number of loses....which will then trigger the dismissal of Yost. Show a little vision and dismiss the guy because it's obvious (to the vast majority of baseball minded individuals) he is hindering the cause. If we sweep the Pirates tonight, how many weeks does that buy ol' Neddly? Just drop the hammer already.

Top 10 best/worst Brewers trades All-Time
Greg Vaughn replied to jaybird2001wi's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I didn't do anything after I was traded? Have you looked at my career stats? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif -
I'm honestly concerned with Melvin right now.....the make-up of the roster this year has been atrocious. No other way to put it.
-
You make it seem like he's been hitting like Adam Everett for the last full four years. He has about 2+ seasons worth of at-bats, in which roughly half occured during poor health. Good hitters are good hitters.....excuses are getting old. I hope Rickie proves me wrong but he (IMO) doesn't have a future with the Crew. He's a streaky, high K, low avg., poor fielding, decent pop MLB 2nd baseman......just calling it like I see it. I dare you to prove me wrong Rickie.
-
bold is not the word that came to mind.....please don't compare Braun and Weeks again. I'm all for moving Weeks out of the 1 hole (actually moving him to AAA or trading him would be higher on my list), however, comparing Weeks with Braun is just a bad comparison. I would think the validity of Minor League numbers don't really matter much when you're in your 4th year of MLB service.
-
WOW.....sure glad we got Cameron in that 2 hole. He's tearing it up.
-
Yet there Weeks was, near the top of the heap in runs scored, entering the series tied for fourth in the Majors with 28. Both players with whom Weeks was tied -- the Cubs' Derrek Lee and the Pirates' Nate McLouth -- sported .411 on-base percentages, 85 points higher than Weeks'. "That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. That may be true, but doesn't the math make him an unlikely run-scorer? "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does." http://milwaukee.brewers.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080506&content_id=2650163&vkey=news_mil&fext=.jsp&c_id=mil Is Ned really this dumb?
-
We are 2-5 since Cameron's 25 game suspension was up.....He has obviously thrown this teams chemistry way out of wack.
-
ouch.....tough blow for the team and my sanity. The thing about an ACL injury it really depends on the severity of the tear. It could be partially torn or completely torn. I'm wondering if they only put him on the 15 day because they are debating on whether or not to have him pitch through it (highly doubtful). The thing that worries me about this issue is, I hope it doesn't alter his arm mechanics....due to compensating for the knee in the future....thus leading to arm issues. Last night I just had a bad feeling about this....I had a feeling it was to good to be true. I just hope this doesn't alter his future as the dominant starter on our staff.
-
You honestly don't understand why people feel sorry for him? It's not like he tries to do bad. I tried not to boo him last year at games where he collapsed, I mean it's not like he didn't know he was sucking. It seems pretty harsh to not at least feel bad for him. I'm sure glad he won't be on the major league team anymore but that doesn't mean you can't root for him. I don't feel bad for millionaires who don't perform. It's not like we just cut Robin Yount or something.....it's Derrick Turnbow. He's been a waste of a roster space for to long now....good luck to him.
-
Dale Sveum, I have my eye on you...
Greg Vaughn replied to tristarscoop's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
The cubs broadcasters said that he ran through the stop sign. -
I hope to never see turnbow in a brewers uniform again.....that would mean we are truly desperate. I honestly don't understand all the people feeling sorry for him....the only ones I feel sorry for is the fans that have had to watch him this past year.
-
Turnbow looking really good [bad]
Greg Vaughn replied to TuesdaysWithRillo's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif I don't care what he wants....he's never closing in the Majors again. Heck.....I want to close for a Major League club too. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif -
Thanks for educating me Gopher. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif I wasn't attempting to "just" use last years BA...to describe his hitting ability. I feel he's at best a .260 hitter at this stage of his career. In twelve years in the majors he's only hit above .270 once and .265 three times. I like is OBP and ability to take pitches, however, I'm trying to point out that his flaws, mirror many we already have on our team. That ='s high strike out, low avg. guys. I'm glad he's on our team and believe he makes us better, just don't think it's going to be quite as drastic as some would make it seem. I was being purposly dramatic with the "Albert Pujols" analogy, however, I saw numerous statements and threads talking about just basically "staying afloat" until Cameron comes back. I liked what I saw last night, I hope he and the team can keep it up offensively. Nice work boys.
-
I really hope Cameron can spark us....we need it.....something.
-
Fair enough......what do you think about my Hart alternative?
