  1. I want to see Zaun and Kendall in a Roadhouse style bar fight.
  2. Unfortunately for Zaun, you don't get an RBI on a GIDP.
  3. Haha. I was thinking about posting a picture of that shirt, but I was to lazy to dig it up. I see people wearing that shirt all the time.
  4. When the Brewers held their 60-yard dash in Spring Training back in 2007, Hardy posted the 5th best time in camphttp://milwaukee.brewers.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20070228&content_id=1820348&vkey=spt2007news&fext=.jsp&c_id=milbeating out both Braun and Weeks. Of course this was before his ankle injury. I think part of the reason he is perceived as being slow comes from how ridiculous he looks when he runs. He looks like if he pumps his arms hard enough he might escape the fire that's burning his backside.
  5. I hate arguing about who is less valuable, you can make a good case for Escobar being behind Gomez at this point. Escobar hasn't really had a lot of Major League at bats, so if you compare his minor league numbers to Gomez you will see that Gomez leads in OBP, SLG and wOBA. At best you can say that it is yet to be determined that Gomez is a worse hitter than Escobar. If you look at how the lineup tool projects the best lineup, it's very similar to how "The Book" would plan a lineup. You could argue that 7-9 might be changed a bit and the 3 spot might go to someone else, but otherwise it seems to follow how Tom Tango might plan it out. There are so many possibilities and variables, but I think the take home message from that chapter of "The Book" was to place your best hitters highest in the lineup, and we both agree that Gomez and Escobar are not part of the Brewers best hitters this year.
  6. While I think Gomez should be batting somewhere lower in the order like 6th or 7th, I don't think it's fair to call him the worst hitter on the team or even the worst starter. With the way the average manager fills out a lineup card, I think a good number of them would have Gomez hitting in the two spot.
  7. It looks like Adam McCalvy is going to win this thing.
  8. With Gallardo on the mound we're always in the game, but man Edmonds looks overmatched against Jimenez.
  9. Did it look like Zaun hesitated throwing to first in the Jimenez AB?
  10. Escobar is 53% GB/PA in his major league at bats and Gomez is 41% in GB/PA. Small sample size, but I think Escobar would be just as prone to the groundout DP.
  11. I took off work today to listen. Let's get this season started! http://images.yuku.com/image/pjpeg/fdc35bbc9f77837e63dccade324a7edc81c30e9.pjpg
  12. After Cameron walked Miller said that it was unusual because Cameron isn't known for his OBP.
  13. While the market isn't quite saturated with pharmacists yet, there are a lot of new pharmacy schools opening up and the days of signing bonuses are just about gone. I work in a retail pharmacy right now as a technician and they have told me that will basically pay for my schooling and give me a decent bonus if I agree to commit to them for X amount of years after I graduate. I haven't agreed yet, because I'm not sure retail pharmacy is the way I want to go. Some days I just don't enjoy getting yelled at about insurance problems.
  14. I got accepted in to Pharmacy School this week.
  15. The injury was due to an umpire discussion. They reversed a foul ball to an out on Rickie's dribbler up the first base line.
  16. Melvin on the other hand has watched Parra come up through the minors, where he posted excellent numbers topped off by a perfect game. He's also watched young pitchers like De La Rosa and Eveland put up decent numbers after he has traded them away. At this point Melvin is clearly hesitant to trade Parra without a good offer on the table.
  17. I was using my own projections to fill out the tool. I used a pretty pessimistic projection for McGehee and a more optimistic one for Hart. Also, this wasn't the top run producing lineup, just the one that I liked the most, especially the way 1-4 was spaced out. EDIT: I don't think it's too crazy to think that McGehee will have a lower OBP than Gomez and Escobar. Between the three of them McGehee has the lowest career minor league OBP (Yes really). And Zaun has a career SLG of .388, not to mention that his age has that number declining. I think you're too high on McGehee and Zaun.
  18. I wonder why someone voted for Prince and Braun to play 30-89 games. Neither of them have much of an injury history and they're in their prime years.
  19. Macha said in an interview that he was not going to bat the pitcher 8th. Here's what I would be interested in seeing (with a little help from the lineup tool): Weeks Fielder Escobar Braun Hart Gomez Zaun McGehee Pitcher
  20. That's what gets me. You can get a variety of Brewers caps in 100% wool, just not the models they use on the field. I even started to think about how I might bleach the flecks out, lol.
