    His BABIP was only .277 last year, so he was incredibly unlucky. RBI's are a function of number of runners on in front of you, not in your own performance. I could see him, very easily, hitting 2nd or 3rd in the Brewers lineup, if he put up that .400 OBP in the majors. Using the 'standard formula' BABIP ~ LD% + .120 (his LD% was 19%) his BABIP should've been about .310, which would've bumped his average into the .275-280 range. As for, why give up something for him now... if he can be had on the cheap, the question is, why not? He'd be a better PH than Inglett, and a guy who could step in for Prince if Fielder is moved this season.

    If you truly believe that they will continue to have both the 4th worst bullpen ERA and the 3rd worst starting pitching ERA, they have no chance this season. I don't think Doug Davis is the problem. The problem is everywhere, aside from Carlos Villanueva, Todd Coffey and Dave Bush so far.

    I'd love to see this guy in a Brewers uniform. He's a bit old, but is a solid 1B, who does one thing amazingly well: He gets on base. Maybe he's not the prototypical 40 HR 1B type, but for a pre-arby guy, who can't seem to crack the Royals lineup for some reason, I'd love to see him in Nashville as Prince-insurance (or replacement...) http://kingsofkauffman.com/2010/02/19/kok-prospect-16-kila-kaaihue/ Just curios what people would think it would take to get the guy?

    They finished 1 game, one Aramis Ramirez home run from winning the division in 2007. Cordero was a huge part of that. Mench was what he was, a lefty mashing corner OFer, the perfect guy to split time with Gross & Jenkins. Sadly, we had a dolt of a manager who gave him 200 ABs against RHP that year. You can give the kid the best toys, but he might still try to flush them down the toilet.

    So, the only thing that baffled me today, is why didn't they leave Gomez in the game for defense in the 9th? He's infinitely better than Edmonds or Hart out there.

    It's not their actual height & size, but how they play. Atlanta's guys will bang the bucks and bang the offensive boards. KG & Wallace are much more content to play 15-20 feet from the basket and shoot jumpers.
  7. Baldkin
    It also hurts him that the Nationals lone rep will probably be Zimmerman.
  8. Baldkin
    Yep. Atlanta is a horrible match up for the Bucks without Bogut. Too much height, too many guys who will bang down low. Garnett & Wallace can be handled by a smaller guys as they like to settle for 15 footers and turn arounds. Atlanta's bigs just don't settle like that.

    The problem is, 7 years is barely enough time to bring an organization up from the ground. None of Melvin's draft picks have hit free agency yet. How many guys who were on the team/in the system when Melvin took over have gone on to lucrative free agent deals or have been a major part of the winning turnover? 2 or 3? Sheets? Jenkins? Hall? The astounding lack of talent that the Brewers had both in the majors and the minors when Melvin took over is hard to fathom. Maybe Melvin can't get the team over the hump, but, in my opinion he deserves a bit longer to try to sort it out.

    Boot into safe mode with networking. Download the install files onto a USB drive and install while in safe mode. Be sure you do safe mode with networking so it can self-update the files and hopefully clean things up. If this fails, there are many places on the web (sorry, can't search right now) where you can find full virus scan boot disks that simply boot up a shell and scan your system.

    Bernie is peering into your soul. Searching for any Cubs loyalty. You should be safe from attacks, you may want to warn your coworkers though.

    The Rangers became a better team without Alex Rodriguez. I don't think you could find a single Cubs fan who wouldn't say they'd be better without Soriano. The Brewers are HUGELY better not having to pay Carlos Lee 18.5M 2010-2012 like the Astros do -- despite the uproar from the fans when he was traded and how much they 'needed Carlos'. Prince is an elite hitter, but (for example) Mat Gamel + $20M spent elsewhere can definitely make up for it.

    Sadly, MLB is horrendous when it comes to video's. The NBA got it right, "Let people post what they want, it's propagating our product."

    http://video.yahoo.com/watch/1806999/5964629 About 10 seconds in is the Ozzie Smith clip.

    Edmonds in CF again today over Gerut.... I'm not a fan.

    That catch was against the Cubs at Wrigley. http://milwaukee.brewers.mlb.com/multimedia/tp_archive.jsp?c_id=mil&ym=200704 April 23rd, 2007.

    I've always loved Endy Chavez's catch in the 2006 playoffs. Especially as it was against the Cardinals. http://mlb.mlb.com/media/player/mp_tpl_3_1.jsp?mid=200610191718380&vid=7758&gid=2006/10/19/slnmlb-nynmlb-1&v=2 You may have to click on "Endy's amazing catch"

    Was at the game.... just could not believe the route Braun took to the ball he dove for and dropped... if he would've broken correctly it's an easy catch. And what the heck was he doing even leading off against a lefty with a great move with Prince up? If this was two years ago, people would be calling for the closers head. Amazing what Hells Bells does for you.

    Okay... so my buddy suggested this tonight... and... just... wow... http://soul-amp.com/pics/damien_miller.jpghttp://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IjNQF5nWVWE/SxlmWKfZ3yI/AAAAAAAAASg/EV_Z9fjEdKM/s400/Gregg+Zaun%21%21%21.jpg

    It's not surprising, since they aren't coming off a playoff appearance. Also, the Brewers did open up 2009 at home on the weekend against the Cubs with 3 sold out games.
  21. Baldkin
    Tell me who they were supposed to sign as a stopgap considering Lucroy and Salome aren't ready yet to play in the big leagues. Zaun's OPS over the last 3 years is 100 points higher than Kendall's. .739 to .633. That difference is huge. He was in the top half of C's in OPS last year who started 90 games. You're greatly overestimating the offensive output from the C position around baseball.
  22. Baldkin
    And Braun's and Prince's slugging skills would be wasted with two guys OBPing .300 in front of them. You don't put your two worst hitters #1 and #2 in the lineup just because they are fast. This isn't 1986 anymore.
  23. Baldkin
    Who is Zahn? If you mean Geoff Zahn, then you should know he was a pitcher, not a catcher.
  24. Baldkin
    The YES network rakes in $400 million net every year. So, the Yankees payroll being $200 million is nothing at all. I don't know what the Brewers are getting from FSN but I doubt it's even 10% of that amount.

    Hart got booed today during pregame introductions. I was pretty shocked. It's opening day, give the guy a chance.
