Might as well separate this post into a few separate sections… A) BREWERS WIN!!! B) Gregg Zaun’s going on the DL, Jon Lucroy is going to get called up. Carlos Gomez will be back today, probably for Adam Stern. These are all acceptable moves, although I’m not anticipating seeing Lucroy get the starting nod over [...]
I’ve been out of the Brewers loop for the last little while, what with my wedding on Saturday and all that, but I’d just like to commend Doug Melvin for getting Seattle to pay even a little bit of Bill Hall’s 2010 salary. Any little bit helps.
With Mike Cameron‘s $10 million salary coming off the books at the beginning of next year, it’s unlikely the Brewers will offer him arbitration and he’ll get a two/three year deal with a team in need of a center fielder that has more money available to spend than the Brewers. This could be different had [...]
Numerous times I’ve pointed out on BPL that the Brewers made the right move by not making any major trades for a Cliff Lee or Roy Halladay since the Brewers were blowing smoke and mirrors during their hot stretch at the beginning of the year and they’re too flawed to justify overspending for a band-aid [...]
It’s been a tough weekend to be a Brewers fan. To keep things simple, I’ll just list off what made it so hard. 1. Losing a 7-1 lead to one of the worst teams in baseball. 2. Losing Corey Hart for a month just as he’s starting to come around. 3. Having Bill Hall return [...]
I can’t wait until the Brewers trade Ryan Braun. All kidding aside, this sounds just like Doug Melvin is trying to use the media to get his point across that players don’t need to be criticizing the management. Maybe he took it personally. I have no idea. I can only guess at what’s going on. [...]
Now that Doug Melvin has basically confirmed that he’s going to make some kind of move as the trade deadline comes to fruition and the pitching situation has become much murkier. If Melvin is going to make a move in the pitching department, it’s definitely going to come in the next couple of weeks when [...]
Brewerfan.net is reporting that Doug Melvin has a trade in the works for some starting pitching. The names most speculated on in that thread include Cliff Lee, Jake Peavy, or even someone like Dan Haren or Roy Halladay. The last two are totally unrealistic but would be exponentially awesome. The last update from the fan [...]
Last year, the Milwaukee Brewers sent Dave Bush down to AAA after stinking up Milwaukee with terrible pitching performances through the first few months of the season. At this point last year, Bush was 2-5 with a 5.49 ERA and it got worse in his next start, hovering his ERA near 6 before catching fire [...]
