Overall, I think the Brew Crew treated Heether pretty well. They gave him lots of ABs over the years. I was looking forward to seeing Gamel, Katin & the Heet in the Sounds lineup. That would have been some decent thunder.
The SF Giants have been the torchbearers when it comes to signing past-prime, overpaid, too much worn tread veterans. You can always see the train wreck coming.
A big part of McGuire's success was due to opposing pitchers refusing to pitch inside to him. They's just let him dig in. The few times that he did get dusted, he'd become unglued, just like the Princess.
Macha's disdain for the stolen base may come from his time with the Oakland A's. "Moneyball" preaches that the risk of running into an out is not worth the possible reward.
Pardon Peav, I meant the "Twins". These geriatrics hit in the .220s and .230s. Giving them roster spots is rewarding mediocrity.Can't wait for Counsell's annual home run.
Melvin's decisions are questionable at best. I hope he doesn't lock into the weak duo of Lamb and Counsell. The Brewers should allow a Spring Training competition that allows opportunity for others to earn these roster spots. These senior citizens were barely adequate at their peak. The Twins cut Lamb for being too lazy. I think Melvin is too enamored with left handed batters.
