    It was more like 800,000 and we paid him that money so we could try to trade him. We never had any intention of keeping him at his full salary or he'd be here given how well he pitched and the Cappy injury. It was a calculated gamble that didn't work out but didn't really cost us much.

    I don't see a throw in in that trade for the Brewers. Bush, Gross, and ZJ all filled roles (likely back end starter, reserves lefty OF, solid lefty pitching prospect they hoped to fast track). Here is the MJS story about it: http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=376038

    This is a list of the highest paid starters this year. Johan Santana, $22,916,667 (2008-13) Carlos Zambrano, $18,300,000 (2008-12) Barry Zito, $18,000,000 (2007-13) Jake Peavy, $17,333,333 (2010-12) Andy Pettitte, $16,000,000 (2008) Jason Schmidt, $15,666,667 (2007-09) Mike Hampton, $15,125,000 (2001-08) Roy Oswalt, $14,600,000 (2007-11) Mark Buehrle, $14,000,000 (2008-11) John Smoltz, $14,000,000 (2008) Roy Halladay, $13,333,333 (2008-10) Pedro Martinez, $13,250,000 (2005-08) Randy Johnson, $13,000,000 (2007-08) Chris Carpenter, $12,700,000 (2008-11) Bronson Arroyo, $12,500,000 (2009-10) Kevin Millwood, $12,000,000 (2006-10) I would think the market for him if he has a great year could be in the 14-18 million range.

    He's actually already 25.
  5. Ayt
    He turns 28 in a couple weeks. He definitively isn't young.

    LINK In fairness, it isn't the same person who wrote both articles. The above paragraph about the Cameron signing is indeed terrible. Reina's analysis of the Brewers is pretty solid.
  7. Ayt
    He's also a fantastic base stealer. He was 17/21 in AAA last year in only 36 games.
  8. Ayt
    Yep, I feel exactly the same way. It also doesn't help Parra's case that he's never pitched 140 innings in a year. I'm not quite ready to give a guy a spot in the starting rotation given that fact. What up, twirl? I agree, of course. Parra need to lengthen out his arm in AAA, at least at the beginning of the year. He'll likely be called up later in the season, unless he blows up in camp and we decide we need him out of the pen. I don't see any way he starts for the big club given his injury history and his IP number.

    Cordero isn't arby eligible. If he were, I'd guess we'd have no problem keeping him another year.

    How is this not fun? How many times in the last 25 years have the Brewers been relevant? There is another two months of baseball left and we will likely be neck and neck with the Cubs the rest of the way. That is drama on a daily basis and it is what most fans of playoff teams have had to "deal" with every year for multiple seasons. We've actually been fortunate in many ways, considering we had the second largest divisional lead in the majors behind the Red Sox for I don't even know how long. Look at some of the other divisions where the leader has flipped multiple times. As far as I'm concerned, this is baseball. There is nothing like the daily tension of a playoff race throughout the summer and into the fall. I'm glad the Cubs stepped it up because that makes it much more fun.

    Not surprising. He's a 27 year old rookie who spent the last four years in AAA. In his first 22 games up, he hit .400 with an OPS of 1.111. That is for games through June 30th. In July, he's hit .217 with an OPS of .501. Theriot is also basically a nobody minor leaguer. I remember a good friend of mine who is a big Cubs fan going nuts about him last year when he hit .328 with an OPS of .934 in 134 ABs. Then I linked him to his minor league page at baseball cube.
  12. Ayt
    Well, Braun can do both, JB12.
  13. Ayt
    The Suppan signing causing us to not afford Sheets would blow. Sheets and Gallardo as the 1-2 with Cappy and Soup as the 3-4 would be pretty darn good.

    I definitely agree with them about upgrading the forums here. The interface and not having the ability to simply quote a specific poster easily and respond to them in a thread to elaborate on their point or start a more specific discussion is extremely frustrating after using other message boards. I'd post here much more often if the forum were upgraded to something more user friendly.
  15. Ayt
    This doesn't surprise me. He gets some of the weirdest movement out of his change that I have ever seen.
  16. Ayt
    Gallardo could easily turn into the top option in the 8th if T-Bow is worn out. He will probably also be the top 7th inning guy. The kid should be great in the pen with his pinpoint fastball and great bender.
  17. Ayt
    Tons of movement and great location. Hitters eyes light up when the see a fastball, but most of the time his fastball is pretty far out of the strike zone. He really does toy with guys on most nights.
  18. Ayt
    The only things that could save Hardy are his current 2nd place standing in the voting as well as his HR and RBI totals which stack up extremely well to the other SS's. Ramirez and Renteria are his main competition, and Hardy is killing them in the HR and RBI departments. Of course, he's killing Reyes there as well, but Reyes is an all around freak and a lock to start.
  19. Ayt
    Gracias. That's what it looked like based on my search, but I'd never thought about it.
  20. Ayt
    I was able to find his batting stats for AAA and AA, but I can find nothing on what he did below that. Do pitchers not bat in A ball and below or am I looking in the wrong place. This is where I went to find his 2005 stats, but to no avail. web.minorleaguebaseball.c...525&y=2005

    As far as something can be proven statistically, the argument Ender made is one that is very compelling. What I typed was admittedly poor wording on my part, but I was tired at the time and just let it go.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Edit: rluzinski elaborated quite nicely above just how "unlucky" Bush has been so far.
  22. Ayt
    Ender, you should have left out the subjective opinion aspect of your post. It was only going to get you attacked for having memory bias in favor of Bush, even though you were simply using that as an addendum to a very good post. The BABIP and LOB% are the keys. That combined with his basic rate stats being completely in line with his career numbers proves as much as possible statistically for a pitcher that he's simply had some bad luck so far. Greg Maddux made a great point about this type of thing a few years ago when he was really "struggling" early in the year. He basically told nervous reports that he wasn't doing anything particularly wrong as a pitcher, the balls were just finding holes more often than they probably should have been.

    I love looking at the leaderboards for old timey players. Ty Cobb's leaderboard rankings are absurd. He did everything and he basically did it all better than any of his peers.
  24. Ayt
    ESPN.com has this. You go to team stats, then under splits choose which position you'd like to see. The stats for each team will be listed for players on the year at that position, then at the bottom it will list the cumulative totals for the NL, AL, and ML. For instance, the Brewers have the highest OPS amongst 1B in the majors. tinyurl.com/2u9d2q

    You can watch the 2 run bomb here and the one last night on the brewers.com homepage. milwaukee.brewers.mlb.com..._id=460075 He really destroyed both of those pitches.
