    I know I'll be getting a CC jersey if he signs... that's $100 right there. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    That's too bad... if he had said talks didn't go well, Sabathia would have been signed by midnight.

    Bernie is my dad.

    That's pretty scary to say without a proven closer. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    I didn't add Dillard, Pena, or others because there are a lot of question marks still out there. Who else do we sign? What will McClung's role be? Will Capuano make an impact? I am happy with the depth and flexibility we currently have I must say.

    I'm about as big of a Weeks backer as there is and there are very few players out there that I would be willing to give up Weeks to get. Saying that, Kemp is definitely one of those players. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    So what does our pitching look like at this point? Julio Riske Coffey Stetter Swindle Villanueva (possible SP) McClung (possible SP) Difelice Rotation (currently) Gallardo Parra Bush Suppan McClung?
  8. zzzmanwitz
    double thread!!!
  9. zzzmanwitz
    Good to hear. Getting Coffey at this price is a great deal, even if he doesn't perform at a high level.

    I'd like to bump this topic up since it seems to make more and more sense witht he branyan signing by the Mariners.
  11. zzzmanwitz
    Predictions anyone? I'm guessing the Brewers offer 7.5 Million and Boras offers 11 Million. The two settle at 9.5 Million.
  12. zzzmanwitz
    does this mean they are looking to deal Beltre?

    wooted again... no carp for me

    for anyone that doesn't read Brew Crew Ball... very interesting view. http://www.brewcrewball.c...11/19/665498/cc-s-choices

    Alright, I'm going to play a little hypothetical here, but bear with me. So lets just say that the Brewers fall down to 4 years/100 Million and the Yankees go up to 6 year/150 Million. This is the exact same amount of money per year. Now, I understand that the yankees are offering 50 million more, but what if we look at his next contract? He's 28 right now, he'd be 32 at the end of the Brewer's offer. He'd be 34 at the end of the NY deal. He'd be in line for another 5 year deal at the end of the Brewer's offer and probably not so much at the end of the NY contract, more like a 3-4 year deal. If we take natural regression into account, CC should be performing better at the end of the Milwaukee contract than at the end of the NY contract. I guess the point i'm trying to make, is that if CC is willing to take the risk of him being productive over the next 4 years I could see him making more money over the course of his career if he starts with Milwaukee's contract. Just a thought.

    Then I would say it would come down which batters the pitcher had to face. But yes, it is higher leverage, but in my eyes, 3 outs is 3 outs.
  17. zzzmanwitz
    Its not that you shouldn't use your best RP as the closer if the situation calls for it. The argument is that your best pitcher should be saved for the most crucial situations. If you save a "closer" for the 3 run lead in the ninth with their 7-8-9 hitters coming up situation rather than put him out when your team is tied in the bottom of the 7th with their 3-4-5 hitters up to bat, then you aren't using him to your biggest advantage. 99% of the time, managers save their closers for the save and closers want saves because that gets them the big contracts. Edit: Its also saying that 3 outs in the 9th are more crucial than 3 outs in the 7th, when they are really exactly the same.

    signing Hoffman or Fuentes almost becomes absolutely necessary. God I hope they don't sign Fuentes.

    Weren't these awards already announced? I heard Nate McClouth won.
  20. zzzmanwitz
    Logan, that is a great data set. I've never seen that before. I mean, I believed it, but never saw it right in front of my face like that. Thanks!

    i really want to know how JJ can possibly be that low. Sure, he doesn't have the best range, that is a given. But to put his defense as a detriment to his offense is ridiculous. I just don't understand defensive metrics.
  23. zzzmanwitz
    wow, I really wasn't expecting to see a serious post to start out this thread. There is no way that Weeks compares to Hardy defensively. I am one of the few that believe that someday, Weeks could win a gold glove. He has the ability. However, today, at this very moment, Hardy is so far ahead of Weeks defensively, its not even funny.
  24. zzzmanwitz
    To compare him to Utley is ridiculous. We aren't saying he will be as good as Utley. Utley is the best 2B in the game. We are saying that there are recent examples of above average 2Bs taking a few years to develop into the players that they are (Utley, Phillips, Roberts). Also, the fact of the matter is, Weeks has pretty much been an average offensive player for his position. It seems like we are expecting him to be an allstar player every year, and that hasn't panned out to this point. He definitely has the talent to become a perrenial allstar, but it may take a few years still. Weeks also has the tools to be a great defender at 2B, and I personally believe that will happen. Utley never was a great defender until this year. Players have the ability to improve. Weeks is only 25.

    Utley had only ~500 ABs or so before he "broke out", Weeks has ~1675 -- I think this is an apples and oranges comparison. Actually, if you combine major league and minor league numbers, Utley had 2039 ABs before he broke out. Weeks has had 2386 ABs in his career (majors and minors).
