    Doesn't mean they still can't or that they didn't attempt to already. I have a hard time believing they haven't considered it.
  2. B2k1121
    The guy who made the decision not to start Green is still managing the team.
  3. B2k1121
    Is Green that much better than him? McGehee? What good defensive third baseman was available? I think the Gonzalez signing shows he cares a little bit about defense.
  4. B2k1121
    You thought it would be less? I'm not sure how we can complain about this. This removes any temptation to run McGehee out there every day, there's no guarantee Ron would give Green many opportunities. This should provide a substantial upgrade from 3B over last season to help make up for what is lost at 1B. It's also a little insurance if Ryan misses 50 games. I'd hate to see the lineup without him, Ramirez, or Fielder. Then there's the bonus that we don't have to see him kill the Brewers anymore (though Prince might take his place).

    The latest from Tom with texts from Braun combined with the latest we are hearing is making me think the test will somehow be proven false. He seems to be dying to get out in front of this and claim his innocence. Putting myself in his situation, if I was innocent I would be doing the same thing he is now, telling everyone I could. If I was guilty I would be preparing an apology.

    I'm assuming Rollins stays with the Phillies, Furcal stays with the Cardinals and the Brewers stick with......the man who shall not be named around here.
  7. B2k1121
    That's what I'm worried about. They would also be able to say, "Hey, we tried" to please the casual fan base in that scenario as well.
  8. B2k1121
    Don't like this tweet: @DKnoblerBrewers have strong reservations about Furcal, probably not enough money for Reyes. May actually stick with Yuni at short.
  9. B2k1121
    That seems crazy to me, 7 million for Barmes?
  10. B2k1121
    I don't see how that could be considered a good investment, sure he wouldn't cost much, but does it really matter when he's most likely not a difference maker? He's just a guy. If you aren't combining that move with several others that might be difference makers then it seems pointless to even sign a guy like Barmes. If he's the biggest move the Brewers make this off-season, they are in trouble. The Brewers should look at Reyes injury history as a chance to get him cheaper than if he had never missed a game. My opinion is to go for the home run, don't just sign the 'safe' guy. Sure, Barmes isn't going to cripple the Brewers if he goes down with an injury, but he's not going to provide much when he's healthy either unless there are some serious upgrades elsewhere on the team.
  11. B2k1121
    I really don't think he's going to leave New York, and if he did, it will be for more money or years than they are offering.
  12. B2k1121
    To me, Barmes is settling. We saw so much bad defense this year we are just dying for someone to come in that can be relied on for decent defense. But it seems like you could always get a guy like Barmes without giving much up. He should be a fall back option.
  13. B2k1121
    So many on here are so quick to point to injuries or a bad year for a player as a reason they don't want to the Brewers to sign them/trade for them. This is still the Brewers, if Sizemore never was injured they wouldn't have a shot at getting him, they need to take some chances sometimes. They need a Lance Berkman who comes out of nowhere. The topic probably came up on here for Berkman last year and I would assume many said no thanks after the year he had. Turned out pretty well for the Cardinals. I'm not saying Sizemore is the savior, but the Brewers sometimes have to take chances on these types of players. This is, of course, assuming they don't give him a crazy contract.
  14. B2k1121
    Obviously not the same situation or money, but there were many on here that didn't want to trade for Furcal because of his injury history. Would have possibly been the difference maker if they did. Sometimes you have to roll the dice.
  15. B2k1121
    You can't predict how the pitching staff will look in 2013. Gallardo will be around, Greinke may be extended, there will probably be a FA addition somewhere, Narveson might be around, a trade might be made, or a prospect may step up. There's no reason to believe it's automatically going to be worse.
  16. B2k1121
    I think the Brewers are going to be, at worst, somewhat competitive every year with Attanasio running the show. I'm really hoping they make a run at Reyes with Rollins as the fall back. Mark A is going to want to make a splash after losing Fielder, hopefully he they don't try to 'upgrade' first base.
  17. B2k1121
    He couldn't be any worse.
  18. B2k1121
    Just seems like the Cardinals bullpen will have an answer for every Brewers hitter.
  19. B2k1121
    What is Weeks doing?
  20. B2k1121
    Why does everyone act like the Cardinals bullpen is so horrible? They seem unhittable.
  21. B2k1121
    I for two love them as well
  22. B2k1121
    Seriously? Strike 1?
  23. B2k1121
    RR would NEVER do that
  24. B2k1121
    Wow, nice inning, I think they're in lets go back to Milwaukee mode.
  25. B2k1121
    Hairston and Braun swung at everything there.
