Woo Hoo!!!! Closer.... CHECK!!! Next up hopefully a call to Sheets to come back home!

Earlier today I was looking through some of my old issues of BA, and I came across a comment from a scout that said he felt Weeks would have to eventually be moved to 3B. Is that even a possiblity now, and does anyone out there think that could be a good fit for him? It was Issue no. 521 Oct.23, 2005, on page 22 if your curious and have it.

I think he'll inherit the Sheets jinx in the #1 slot and go 13-12-ish, with 190k's and a 3.00 era.

My Christmas wish list has Smoltz(starter or closer) and Sheets on it. Crossing my fingers!

Got it! Thanks for the quick reply!

I know the basic rules for draft pick compensation but I can't answer this one- What kind of compensation would the Brewers get if the Yankees turn around and sign both C.C. and Sheets this offseason? I don't think this is out of the realm of possibility, and I don't remember seeing this covered in the other posts.

My daily ritual begins here at brewerfan.net then on toMLBTraderumors.com next to John Sickels at Minorleagueball.com and ocasionally I'll hit up a little BaseballMusings and JSOnline I've been a member here for 3+ years and not much of a talker but I love soaking up all the baseball knowledge here!

I agree that he shouldn't be leading off anymore. I still think he's a #3 hitter even if the numbers don't show it. Rickie most likely won't get a chance to become one here, though. I think the reason I still believe in him is because everytime he goes to bat he seems focused, swings at strikes, provides power, speed and smart base running. In the field, he still needs some improvement but I can see him progressing, still. I can see his offensive game blossoming into somewhere between Brandon Phillips/Curtis Granderson. Neither are protypical leadoff type players.

I'd love it if they'd do the 2-Fisted Slopper!

Correct! I can't tell you how many times customers come in and say, " You're so lucky to have an extra day off this week!" It is one of the great misconceptions about being a postalworker. Another is the title Part-Time Flex. That pretty much means you're going to work 40+ at your Postmaster's discretion, granted you work in a large city.

Check your local post office for postings on the test being available in your area. Like I stated earlier, usually the test is given in April, so try looking in February or March for the postings. Hope I helped!

I currently am a Part-Time-Flexible Clerk at the Sturtevant Post Office. I applied to be a casual clerk(w/o benefits) back in Spring of 2001. I recieved a notice in the mail to work the end of the year hollidays and had to go for interviewing, physical, training and drug testing in downtown Milw. I worked 3 consecutive 89 day terms as a casual clerk. I pretty much just distributed the mail to the carriers and got the mail ready for dispatch when the carriers returned off their routes. After my 3rd consecutive term I went on unemployment for the summer of 2002, while notifiying the HR office to keep my name eligible for casual clerk work after a 3 mo. break. I went back to work in a different office in November of 2002. After that I qualified to take the Civil Service test in April 2003(typically the month the test is given) when my last term ended. I passed the test with a qualifying score and worked at WSI,inc. while I waited about 2 years to be contacted. I was contacted by mail first by the Burlington P.O. but rejected it and told the HR office I still wish to be considered for other openings. Couple weeks later, recieved another letter offering me a position in Sturtevant's P.O. I accepted it and had to go to an interview at Sturtevant by the Postmaster. I had to go to Milw. to do a physical and drug test again. My starting pay was $16.75 in 2005, currently I am $22.28, pay raises are fairly regular. As a PTF-clerk we have the option to be lent out to other offices, if needed, to get more hours and they have to work on most hollidays . Regular clerks are guaranteed 40hrs a week w/2 days off a week and w/ hollidays off. Regulars are nearly impossible jobs to get. I am somewhat fortunate because I work with 2 older Regular clerks who are close to retirement and since I am next in the seniority line I would inherit one of their positions, upon retirement. Well... that's my life story! Some of the benefits of the job include decently priced health insurance, an improving dental plan, Thrift Savings Plan w/ up to 5% matching, a great Union, optional life insurance and flexible spending accounts. I apologize for the wordiness.

It definately was an enjoyable ride. I'm looking forward to next season and seeing C.C. on opening day (fingers crossed)! Thanks a million!

Any idea if the Phillies are going to work on a 3 man rotation, too? Basically, I want to know if the pitching matchups will be the same if the series goes the distance.

Yeah, WaMu should've listened to them!

I dunno, I just don't like the thought of having a manager who never panned out at the Major League level himself, AGAIN!

Easy........... Massive Attack- Mezzanine. Wish they'd hit up Chicago again!

Wasn't Molitor a hitting coach, before?

I think Willie Randolph would be a great choice, former 2B and Brewer, who I think could be able to turn around Week's career and help right the ship from the top of the lineup. Just makes me giddy thinking about turning Rickie into another Jose Reyes on the basepaths.

Just found this on MLB Traderumors on the Sabathia deal. http://www.cleveland.com/...amp;coll=2&thispage=1

I used to work at Warehouse Specialist, Inc. and on the tags for the orders we picked would print my name as WESROB. Everyone called me that and it's a little easier than typing Robert Westmoreland all the time. The 1 is for originality, not to be confused with all thoe other WESROB's out there!

I didn't see My first, my last, my everything by Barry White!

Got it, thanks for your help guys!

First time going to Lambeau on Thursday, any info on where to and how much it will cost to park? Thanks for any input!
