    Jim Callis says Joel Pierce is preparing to go to Coastal Carolina, rather than start his pro career. Obviously nothing official yet, but still disappointing to hear.

    Free Mat Gamel.

    The thing is, they have been retaliating, and it hasn't stopped. If I had to bet, Prince is probably going to get hit tonight after he went hard into second last night and took out Blake DeWitt in the 9th inning of a blowout.
  4. crewcrazy
    I think we can shut up about Prince with RISP now. That's got to feel good for him.

    6 IP 2 H 1 ER 1 BB 12 K. 95 pitches. Wow. Nice call on getting him out, though. No reason to push him past 100 with this lead.

    That gapper he hit for the bases-loaded double looked like it was about 10 feet off the ground until it split the outfielders. Incredible. Looks like another game Haudricourt will have to throw out the next time he wants to whine about run distribution.

    They could lose 20 straight and beating the Cubs would take a bit of that sting away. Let's stick it to them, guys.

    Money breakdown, according to a THweet: 2011: $6.5M 2012: $9M 2013: $10 Perks: - $1 million signing bonus - "Limited no trade" (guessing he submitted a list of a few teams)

    If it is 3/$25, I'd be pretty thrilled. It's not a ton of money, and it's a short enough deal that it makes sense for everyone involved. The Brewers buy out two years of free agency, while Hart will have this deal to prove that this season isn't a fluke. He'll be 31 when this is up and still would have a good chance to sign a "big money" deal. The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if this is a sign the Brewers not only know they won't be signing Prince to an extension, but won't be worrying about paying him $15 million+ next season, either. But that's a thought for a different thread.

    While I agree they'll let Macha go, they probably won't be "firing" him -- they'll simply decline his option for next season and let the deal expire. Accomplishes the goal of at least trying to sell fans on a "new direction" without having to deal with an interim manager.

    Atlanta may be his dream coaching job, but why take the risk of being unemployed again when you have long-term (at least for an MLB manager) certainty sitting in front of you? Once Fredi Gonzalez got fired, I think he became the early leader for the Atlanta gig, and Yost at least knows the Royals organization a little bit more due to being an "advisor" for the club for quite a few months before being named the manager there. I'll add another good luck wish. Kansas City has a lot of good young talent set to hit the majors in the next couple years, if the front office stops signing the Kendalls of the world. I'd like to see him get them back to respectability in that division, like he did with the Brewers. You could probably argue he has more immediate help coming in KC than he did in Milwaukee, so maybe this gig will end better for him.

    Kazmir is multiple injuries removed from those seasons, the last of which was in 2008. Since then, he's lost almost 2 MPH on both his fastball and slider. His K/9 has fallen from 9.81 to 7.15 to 5.85, and his BB/9 has gone from 4.14 to 3.67 to 4.78. The only way I'd be interested in Kazmir is if it was an Oswalt-type deal: the Angels give the Brewers a boatload of cash, and the Brewers only have to give up a couple of C-grade prospects. Parra's been better this season and would be the better option going forward.
  13. crewcrazy
    Worst part is that the grand slam would've been a flyout at just about any other park. I really hate those cheap LF home runs in Houston.
  14. crewcrazy
    I'll agree with Jordan Schelling here:

    Mat Gamel is playing right field tonight. Interesting, to say the least.

    Ed Price tweets: KC gets: P Jesse Chavez (a Brewerfan favorite) P Tim Collins (acquired in Yunel Escobar trade) OF Gregor Blanco ATL gets: OF Rick Ankiel P Kyle Farnsworth I get the feeling Ankiel isn't that power bat in the outfield the Braves were looking for, but I guess it's something for them, and they really didn't give up anything.
  17. crewcrazy
    Things might get VERY interesting in the next 35 minutes. Hank Schulman: "Just heard Corey Hart to Giants might be resurrected at the last minute. J. Bautista/Kelly Johnson/S. Downs also in play."

    Cubs also getting a couple of minor league pitchers -- Brett Wallach and Kyle Smit, according to Jayson Stark. Seems like a pretty solid deal for the Cubs, even if they're giving up on this season and practically ceding third place to the Brewers. DeWitt's not a bad piece to have on your roster...maybe another Mark DeRosa for them? If you want a good laugh, you can think about the Dodgers playing Scott Podsednik and Ryan Theriot in the same lineup.

    Doumit's currently on the DL thanks to a concussion he suffered in a collision with Rickie Weeks, but even before he got hurt it seems like the Pirates were souring on him quickly. He's probably the worst defensive catcher in the league, and one of the few (only?) players left from the pre-Huntington era. He's due $5.1 million next year, so I wouldn't be surprised to see him moved in the offseason.
  20. crewcrazy
    PIT gets: C Chris Snyder SS Pedro Ciriaco ARI gets: OF Ryan Church UTIL Bobby Crosby P D.J. Carrasco Snyder is still owed over $8 million through next season, and has a 2012 club option for $6.75M. Another big deal off the books for the D'Backs.

    Frustrating game. Happ wasn't very good at all, but the Brewers couldn't capitalize when they got guys on base. For future reference, let's avoid the namecalling in regards to Gomez. It's possible to talk about his deficiencies as a player without resorting to that kind of thing. Just a reminder from the Fan Forum Etiquette:

    Most of the stuff listed is hardly new. They've drafted guys with plus fastball velocity. They've drafted guys with great breaking stuff. It's not like they suddenly had an epiphany that they should be drafting guys with good stuff. The guys they've taken to this point have either gotten hurt or had other things disrupt the organization's plans, and they're far from the only organization to have those problems. I do think it's interesting (and good) to see that they're going to try to dig deeper to prevent these things from happening, though. I find the "Is he over 6'2"?" question to be a little odd, but I guess I can understand it with the recent trend of young successful pitchers getting bigger and bigger. I know a lot of people are upset over Rick Peterson's performance as the pitching coach, but I always felt that they hired him to change the entire organization's pitching philosophy, not just tell the big leaguers to keep the ball down in the zone like every other pitching coach out there. This "streamlined plan" has his fingerprints all over it.

    Merged the two topics that were created almost simultaneously.

    Sounds like it's almost a pure salary dump. Berkman's not requiring his $15 million option for next year to be picked up, so the Yankees are getting him purely as a rental. He's still a pretty good bat when he's hitting left-handed, and I'm sure moving to Yankee Stadium will help him boost his power production in that regard.

    According to Adam McCalvy, the Red Sox have called about Edmonds. McCalvy notes in a tweet that the Red Sox aren't the only ones interested.
