rollins doesn’t make a lot of sense. you either go for value with furcal or you go for impact with reyes
they’ve already shoved all-in. if i’m a brewers fan, i don’t want to see them skimping now. spend every available dollar and hope that you get a title out of it. the next few seasons after that are likely to be rough either way

Even considering resigning Bentancourt = Fail

Loll yeah get A-Gon. He’ll impact the team a lot.

He’s a massive upgrade over Betancourt. I understand as a Braves fan why you’d say that, but he’s like Honus Wagner compared to Betancourt.

This just in?

Furcal is the obvious best fit for the Brewers, however with the upside he brings tempting a lot of teams thin up the middle, the price might not be right. However, SS is the only real hole in a projected Brewer’s infield of Taylor Green, Rickie Weeks, Mat Gamel/Casey McGehee. That infield has enough upside and/or cost control to support overpaying for Reyes.
I think Brewers brass believe that pushing payroll beyond the previous few years is not that scary of a proposition, as attendance has been been ranked in or near the top 5 in the NL for 5 years running. That said, I agree with notsure, Brewers have to spend money to win now, as the window to compete is not particularly huge at this point.

I don’t think it’s obvious at all. Furcal is a DL trip waiting to happen and will be fairly expensive. I’d much rather have Gonzalez. Cheaper, better defensively.

I’d take Alex Gonzalez on a short cheap term deal, seed if he can get back to his former self when he bashed 23 dingers and 88 ribi’s.. but if you can’t get him at cheap cost then get Rollins, Brewers need more speed…
Simon
Not sure why the Brewers need more speed. They are not the fastest of lineups but I would hardly see it as a definite need, Braun gives you 30+ SB, Gomez/Nyjer platoon at CF gives you 25+, and other than McGehee, the rest of the lineup has good enough speed to swipe an occasional base.
