    Most likely not but he played SS in college so I think he would be fine there a "slight" upgrade offensively over weeks.
  2. Trowekamp
    If Suppan could end the year with a 3.88 I would take it in a heartbeat.
  3. Trowekamp
    You would think that at 25 that you would have learned the "Don't make the 1st or 3rd out at 3rd rule".. Another example the Rickie "In Play, Out(s)" Weeks still doesn't get it. I am doubting if he every will. Edit: I have to add that he may have ran based on the 3B coach. My opinion above still stands but I have to allow for the fact it may not have been Rickie's Idea to go to third.

    There seems to be lots of talk about moving Gamel from 3b to 1b or the OF. Why not 2b? If Weeks doesn't pick it up this year, the Brewers have to consider pulling the plug on the Rickie experiment. If Jeff Kent can play 2b then Gamel has to have enough range especially with his bat. For that matter maybe they put Laporta in LF, Braun at 2B, Gamel at 3B, and try to trade Hall and Weeks. I cross my fingers each day that weeks and hall finally "get" it but every it seems less likely. So in an unrealistic dream lineup for 2009: Hart RF Gamel 3B Braun 2b Fielder 1B Laporta LF Cameron CF Hardy SS Kendall C Though I think the more likely scenario is Gamel platooning at 3B and Laporta in RF and Hart in CF. Also in the above scenariou you have potential 2010 replacements in Brantley (CF), Escobar (SS), and Salome © in AAA in 2009.

    The Batting averages in the lineup don't look quite as nice without the regulars in there.
  6. Trowekamp
    9K's in 4 IP for Braddock and HR's for Laporta (14) and Escobar(6).... Nice to having top prospects playing well again..
  7. Trowekamp
    Villy is so much more aggressive out of the pen.
  8. Trowekamp
    Yes.. you would think a catcher hitting .380 in a good AA pitcher's league would get some pub... I guess it is true what they say "Don't do drugs!"
  9. Trowekamp
    You have to respect McClung battling through a day when he can't find the plate with both hands.
  10. Trowekamp
    Torres 1 IP 0H 0R 0W Turnbow 1.2 IP 1H 2R 6W in AAA tonight which $3 million was better spent.
  11. Trowekamp
    No matter what happens.. Torres instills infinitely more confidence in me then Gagne.. what a difference between a calm presence and the head case jitterbug
  12. Trowekamp
    Huntsville is really must see viewing.. I haven't followed one team this closely since Prince, Hart, Hardy, and Weeks all played on the same team.
  13. Trowekamp
    ok.. that is a bad throw by Billy but that is a sunday bounce that Rickie missed to save him an error and get the out at 2b..
  14. Trowekamp
    Yeah.. getting relievers up is one of my pet peeves. to . however.. until Gagne can somehow instill a level of confidence it is nice to see the loyalty isn't totally blind. I would have ben more upset if he walks Pierre to load the bases and we have nobody ready to come in and he gives up a single to tie the game. I personally don't know if it worth the effort to try to get him on track rather than have Riske/Mota/Torres fight it out as closer but at least they are hopefully figuring this out in May and not in August.
  15. Trowekamp
    Why would Yost have talked about it.. to tip the other team off to look fastball? I am just happy we have 3 wins in a row and Gagne pitched in 2 of them and the starters pitched decent in all 3 and the bats are starting to come around. Long ways to the playoffs but things definitely look better than they did last Thursday.. I would add that if Weeks makes a good throw for a double play it is a lot less stressful.
  16. Trowekamp
    In fairness, Juan Pierre does suck. I'm just glad we're not the ones paying him. Hard to believe there were people who wanted the Brewers to sign him.. or Kenny Lofton..
  17. Trowekamp
    Why do you need a 1-2-3 save? Does it make you sleep better at night? Does it make you feel better about yourself?? The guy just recorded 5 outs in the 9th inning. They should give him credit for 2 saves after the botched DP and the strikeout of Andruw Jones before the walk. Not saying every save has to be 1-2-3.. just looking for one in the season.. say what your want but if your closer has 15 save opportunities and less than 3 1 - 2- 3 innings that is not a good sign.. the move by Yost to put in Gagne will either be the smartest or dumbest move of the season.. only time will tell. It definitely wasn't the safe move so you have to give him credit for taking a risk.
  18. Trowekamp
    Oh man. If GG was a Brewer we would be on a 9 game winning streak. Also, nice to see Yost won't talk about the adjustment Gagne made. Why? Because there was no adjustment. I assumed the adjustment was throwing more fastballs to get ahead and less changeups... personally the adjustment would have to put him on pitch clock..
  19. Trowekamp
    So I was going to parcel out my posts this year judiciously so I could make my 1,000th post "Brewers clinch the division"... however I have now discovered a more unique goal for the 1,000th post "Gagne with a 1-2-3 save"
  20. Trowekamp
    For an experiment, they should start Gagne.. with his cleaning his goggle.. playing with the rosen bag... adjusting himself.. screwing with his cap... they might set a record for a nine inning game with something like 8 or 9 hours..
  21. Trowekamp
    Is Huntsville's OF the best in the minors? At least the most of fire at the moment.
  22. Trowekamp
    Last time we called up a good bat no field 3b it seemed to work out pretty well.. also it seemed to work out well calling up our stud hitter to dh the AL games.. just saying we should learn from the past..
  23. Trowekamp
    I can't believe there haven't been any closed door players only meetings yet.. I believe they are a waste of time but you think that would be the next step..
  24. Trowekamp
    I was just going to ask who the yost haters would blame for leaving Suppan in.
  25. Trowekamp
    Yeah.. his patience has been weird but welcome.. Come one Hardy..
