    Duh at me. For some reason I thought you meant 2010. Reading the whole post helps I suppose.

    It's his major league debut and he hasn't pitched in 11 days. Remember what happened to Gallardo when he didn't pitch for like 10 days?
  3. trwi7
    Butler has some pretty impressive stuff.
  4. trwi7
    That brings the HR total to 37. Looper has now allowed at least one HR in 26 of his 32 starts.

    It's not just you.

    Thank you! I'm glad someone finally said it. His play at second wasn't nearly as bad as some in the media would make you think.
  7. trwi7
    He drives in runs because he hits in the middle of the lineup. Almost any player who hits in the middle of a lineup can drive in 100. Not exactly impressive and not something you should be using to justify this trade since it really is awful.

    Once again, the number to be used for analyzing the cost should be $5.5M since the Brewers would have to pay a $1M to not pick up his 2010 option. Whatever. $5.5M, the point is you don't pay that for a below replacement level starter. I don't care how many depth problems you have on pitching, with limited resources, it's insane to spend that much. If we proceed via trade, it is possible the other team would take Looper back to fill the starter they traded away. Do you realize how unlikely that is? Remember back to the beginning of last year when we had to decide between Capuano, Bush and Vargas? We all thought, okay, we'll just trade the guy who doesn't get the rotation spot. Well we ended up releasing Vargas because nobody wanted to pay him the $3+M or whatever it was that he signed for. What makes you think any team is going to want Looper for his price tag if they didn't want Vargas for his? Once again, Looper, coming off a 4.16 ERA season signed for $4.75M with the mutual option for $6.5M if he reaches 30 starts. Now he has a 4.9 ERA season and we're just going to bring him back and settle for him because we don't have depth? Sorry, not good enough for me at least. We have four main stays in the rotation going into next year. Gallardo, Parra, Suppan and Bush. Look to make a trade using Hardy and McGehee and see what you can get. Sign a guy like Smoltz, Penny or Bedard. There's no reason to settle for Looper.

    I'm going to be extremely angry if Narveson takes over Gallardo's spot. At the very least get Butler some bullpen work.
  10. trwi7
    Did we hear anything like this in Texas? I think maybe all he needs is a quiet, laid back atmosphere in a smaller city. And to get off to a good start so the fans don't turn on you. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    If we could get the Cubs to cover most of his contract in 2011, I'd do it.
  12. trwi7
    If that's the case, this team is in worse shape than I thought.
  13. trwi7
    If it takes both of them to get Blackburn and we have to take Punto back, I'd rather look somewhere else.
  14. trwi7
    How about a walk to break the team walk and RBI record in the same plate appearance? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    Haha. Of all the times Fischer decides to hold a runner it has to be this time.

    [quote name= hawing]Just for one day, September 19, we should trade in our Prius and drive a Yarrrrrrris instead. It's the perfect name for a pirate car, for those landlubbing errands, don't you know. I could totally see hawing doing this on Pirate Day.

    Keeping Looper would be incredibly disappointing at his price tag. Yeah, $6.5M may not buy you much on the free agent market, but it's not like that's our limit to spend. You can combine that $6.5M and add it to other money we have to spend. Or you could offer that plus a little more for John Smoltz who has been good since he came back to the NL. I can think of a ton of things I'd rather do with the $6.5M than just keep Looper with it. If Melvin is just going to settle at Looper for $6.5M, then he should find himself a new job.

    Why can't Narveson pitch tomorrow? Go Narrrrrrveson.
  19. trwi7
    Arrggghhhh. Go Badgarrrrrrs. Beat the Terriarrrrrs.
  20. trwi7
    He can barely play an average left field.
  21. trwi7
    The Rays will get a much better deal than a 1 WAR corner OF in his second year of arbitration and a couple of relievers if they decide to trade Crawford. We shouldn't be looking at using our resources to acquire him anyways with our pitching in shambles.
  22. trwi7
    Can't see Texas trading pitching when they spent so much drafting and developing them.
  23. trwi7
    He was also in the bullpen most of those years. His ERA is 4.64 as a starter. As far as that a high 4 ERA pitcher pretty much getting $6M on the open market. If that were true then how come he only got $4.75M with a mutual option coming off a 199 IP, 4.16 ERA season? There is absolutely no reason and no justification for the Brewers to bring him back. Now if he really does want to come back here, then he can come back for less, but it's ridiculous to just settle for $6M of mediocrity.

    He was racing towards CF to cut it off and it went right under his glove. Belly flop slides are fun. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    They got the power, they got the speed. To be 8th place in the National League. Well this is the year you've come to expect. The Chicago Cubs are a complete wreck.
