Oops. 2007: .254/.315./.425 2008: .225/.293/.396 2009 (so far): .202/.264/.338 Big oops. That’s a move akin to the Jeffrey Hammonds pickup. Heck, they shared the same OPS in the first year of their big deals (.740). They divert from there, though. Hall is worse over the last two years than Hammonds was in the last two [...]
UPDATED BELOW!!!!!! With all the hubbub surrounding Roy Halladay I thought I’d chime in (again) on trading for him. As of right now the Crew is 2.5 games out of first place in the Central and 2.5 pitchers out of a halfway decent starting rotation. Getting Halladay would be pretty much exactly the same as [...]
Bullpen combined: 296 IP, 265 H, 254 K, 118 BB, 3.83 ERA, 1.294 WHIP, 2.15 K:BB That’s not too bad considering the sorry state the bullpen was last year. GM Doug Melvin did a good job over the offseason of signing and keeping the bullpen parts he needed and to jettison the parts he didn’t. [...]

In explaining the situation to a friend of mine tonight, I came to the same conclusion Jared did, one that I wasn’t quite ready to admit last night: “The more [...]
Some of this will be quite obvious to most serious Brewers observers, but I thought I’d jump in with both feet and take a peek at who the Brewers have under contract now, and who they’ll have in two years. The Halladay rumors have me interested to know whether it’s time to make a big [...]
Cody, you’re being modest. You’re doing a great job here, and I’m glad I can help. My name is Joe, obviously, and the JoeKnows name is one I’ve had for quite a while. It’s a play off of Bo Knows, which dates me a bit, but I was still born in the 80′s, for those [...]
The Crew traded two prospects for second-baseman Felipe Lopez; after the game on Sunday, hopefully solidifying their second base situation as well as their platoon at third in the process. Lopez should be a really nice addition to the team, as it gives them stability from another position on the diamond and also over the [...]
