Jose Reyes? That’s news to me, but I say go for it!

Dear Zach.
Basketball is fun to play, but your a baseball player. If you wish to play a pick up game, go to your local Game Stop and pick up the newest NBA 2K11 and play an exhibition game.

Why is there no mention of Prince Fielder’s rather massive $15.5MM price tag? That surely affected things a bit and leaves a question mark come 2012, does it not?

Not following…that salary was predictable probably years ago.

I think he is getting Off-Season Review and Contract Issues mistaken.
Guess Brewers can spend more money next year if raises don’t take all of that “massive” 15.5.

“Lawrie’s bat makes him a top 40 prospect in the eyes of most experts”
*Lawrie’s bat at 2B makes him a top 40 prospect. Not top 40 when they realize he’s likely an OFer.

And shouldn’t acquiring Yuniesky be categorized as a “notable loss”?

I agree there is no way reyes goes to milwaukee. There is a chance that some one like peralta/ heckathorn steps up, but a position player would be needed too and every one outside of gamel (who won’t be traded) is hurt. No way i would trade rogers as I still see this guy replacing wolf next year and with health becoming a dominant pitcher. As far as the bullpen, they’ll be fine with or without axford. Many options for closer in saito, loe, braddock, (or my personal favorite kintzler). Btw how is this team tied for first after 0-4, then a sweep from the nats?

You’d be surprised what can be had for cheap. Go look at the Roy Oswalt trade. Not saying those guys were that great, but it all depends on how the other teams are biting. Brewers can’t get in a bidding war obviously, but if they act earlier than anyone else they may have a chance.

Once again, BA had Escobar at 12 before the 2010 season. 12! The dude had one bad year at the plate in the Majors. He definitely would still qualify as a ‘top 50’ equivalent…

I do think we have the resources to get Reyes if we wanted to but I don’t think Melvin would spend what it would take to get him. But if the Brewers really wanted to upgrade the D at SS, we happen to be close with the GM in Seattle and we might be able to pry away Brenden Ryan by mid season being the Mariners would probably be out of it by then. Jack might want to dump salary. If your a (True Blue) baseball fan and have been watching it as long as I have, you’d see that this Brewers is no joke and when we address the SS problem and when (Morgan finally takes over in CF), the Brewers will no doubt contend for a World Series Championship!!! GO BREWERS……..

The Brewer’s defense is terrible. Their entire infield is below average at best and the outfield collectively have noodles for arms. I am afraid this will come and bite them in the long run. Melvin needs to think about shoring up the defense if he ever hopes to win the NL Central.
Andy Repinski
Once Hart comes back their outfield arms should be some of the better in the ML. Gomez is a gold glove caliber outfielder but he can’t hit. If he can put it together at the plate then outfield D shouldn’t even be questioned.
As far as infield goes, McGehee and Fielder have made incredible strides on D and should no longer be considered reliabilities. Weeks is better than average as well.

What about trading Prince now? Is Gamels ready now? Maybe swing a deal for Reyes and some prospects for Prince. I know that would hurt the power aspect but it would be a pretty sweet lineup:
Reyes
Weeks
Hart
Braun
McGehee
Gamels
Gomez/Morgan
Nieves/Lucroy
Pitcher
Andy Repinski
Trading a rental for a rental, and downgrading no less? I think Melvin is a little smarter than that.
Andy Repinski
If Jemile Weeks wouldn’t have gone to college we wouldn’t even be having this conversation.
