    However this ends.. it is nice to be on the other side of the July trade table.
  2. Trowekamp
    For a rental and 2 #1's? Yes, probably.. For a world series? No.. As long as it is Laporta and not one of our other top 5 prospects I think you have to say no winners and judge in November..
  3. Trowekamp
    He probably figures he has until Monday night to maximize his deal. If I was Melvin I would ask the A's if they want Laporta for Harden... use some leverage the other way.. maybe add Maddux over the weekend to look less desperate..
  4. Trowekamp
    Yes.. I am sure we would have to part with Brantley and/or Braddock but I think both of those trades make sense for both clubs.. We keep 4 top prospects (Gamel, Escobar, Jeffress, Salome).
  5. Trowekamp
    This reminds me of the Randy Moss rumors... it better not end the same way.

    I think that Roberts for Weeks straight up makes sense for both teams.. from Milwaukee's side they get: - Upgrade defensively - A true lead-off hitter - Clutch player - 2 draft picks when Roberts signs with the Cubs in the off-season - Open spot for Escobar in 2009 - Extra money to attempt to sign Sheets, Hart, Sabathia, etc.. For Baltimore the get: - 3 years of arbitration - a superb athlete. I keep thinking Weeks could follow a Sheffield career path. - a possible middle of the order hitter at 2b. I think it is more risky from a Baltimore perspective which is why it won't happen but they need to take some chances to compete in that division.

    Brian Roberts... I keep hoping they do a Laporta / Errecart / Nelson trade for Sabathia and a straight up Weeks for Roberts..
  8. Trowekamp
    I am a little stunned people are trying to argue to that Gagne should have been left in.. if that is not 20/20 hindsight.. has anybody besides me watched him pitch this year.. when he came in I was praying they got out of the 8th up 5-4. Trying to get 2 consecutive good innings out of Gagne is like sending Dave Bush out for the 9th with a one run lead after he has thrown 130 pitches.. you may get away with it but you were probably drunk if you think it is a good decision.

    I wake up everyday hoping to see a weeks/gillepsie for Brian Roberts deal in the news.
  10. Trowekamp
    I can't believe they were .500 on this trip with Braun and Fielder doing absolutely nothing. Also what to do at 3b now that Branyan is coming back to earth? Not to mention 2b where the ongoing Rickie Weeks experiment is perplexing.. I wish everybody was as consistent as Hart..
  11. Trowekamp
    I'll try to be positive. It was a 5-5 trip and we are returning home. We need Prince to get going however. Yes.. hurts because they could have actually had a winning road trip but the held serve.. gained on the cubs and could make a push to the break to get into 2nd.. The series at the end of the month will be for first place... Hopefully this will just be one of the 66 losses we have to deal with this year.

    I am kind of disappointed we will not get to see hall look clueless for the 5th at bat tonight. I guess we will have to wait until the top of the 9th tomorrow down 1 with bases loaded and 2 out.
  13. Trowekamp
    Hall should just go up there and do the opposite of what he is thinking.. because whatever he is thinking is definitely not working..
  14. Trowekamp
    Reynolds is taking a beating over there at 3b.. hurts a little more when you are getting beat.
  15. Trowekamp
    Hardy has always been streaky... but it is nice when he is hitting well. now if we could get either Weeks, Cameron, or Hall to step it up..
  16. Trowekamp
    Seconded. He was used primarily against lefties in June and still could only manage a .476 ops. He needs at-bats to get out of his funk, but we can't afford to give to them to him in games that matter. I take this back. I think they should send him to Huntsville and bring up Escobar for 2 weeks and he can get well hitting in front of Gamel and Laporta.
  17. Trowekamp
    Plus they already had a full-time psychologist on staff there to deal with T-Bow and Gagne. Hall almost needs to dramatically close up his stance and focus on the outside corner to keep from pulling off the ball or take 2 days off and get Lasik surgery which he should have done during the offseason.
  18. Trowekamp
    I think it is time to send Hall to Nashville for a couple of weeks to discover his swing.. bring up Nelson for a cup of coffee..
  19. Trowekamp
    Are you talking career or this year? Green smoked Brantley's numbers at WVA - yes he was a year older. I think Green is a touch too high and Brantley a touch too low but I'd put them about 8 - 9 and probably interchangable. Just for fun.. I think the Brewers should promote Bell to AAA so Green can play 2b at Huntsville for the rest of the year: Brantley Escobar Gamel Laporta Salome Green Gillepsie Errecart They might average 10 runs a game.
  20. Trowekamp
    With everything else he brings.. Kendall hitting .270 is a bonus.. I would take .240 and be happy after the Estrada experiment.
  21. Trowekamp
    Everybody in the rotation has an ERA under 5.. YEAH!!!
  22. Trowekamp
    I'm not sure, but it has to be the first time that two MLB all-star closers were in the same AAA bullpen. Nashville's bullpen makes as much as the entire Marlins team.
  23. Trowekamp
    Well at least all the electric companies in Atlanta are saving electricity by fans turning off their TV's in disgust..
  24. Trowekamp
    it is mostly calculating that Gagne and Turnbox can't make it from Nashville by the end of the game.. do you think Nashville has a full time psychologist for their bullpen..
  25. Trowekamp
    Hopefully Bush finishes game with no hits 0-0 with 4 SAC
