You know, even that's a stretch. However, there are two bits of MLB news that could affect how the 2010 Brewers shape up. Besides, on a slow day like today, what more do you want? Breaking out of San Francisco: Item 1: Would-be free-agent Freddy Sanchez re-signs with the Giants (2 years/$12 million). There are only a handful of productive second-basemen on the FA market, so it's a big deal when a 3-time...

Admittedly, I'm a fan of offering our Type A free agents arbitration. If they don't accept, you get the draft picks; if they do accept...well, you're getting a Type A free agent, so someone who's presumably pretty good. Yes, you have to pay him, but there are worse things than paying for a proven good player. (After all, a lot of good players rule out playing in Milwaukee out of hand, probably because...

We’ve had a lot of discussion around here about the 2nd base job next season. There aren’t any projection systems available yet, but I thought it might be a good idea if we come up with some numbers. The 4 players often talked about are Mike Fontenot, Jeff Baker, Placido Polanco and Felipe Lopez. Polanco and Lopez are free agents and could command a large contract. Fontenot and Baker are...

Since then his power has gone missing; even this year his ISO is only .118. The biggest difference between 2009 and 2005 is the amount of skill retention you would expect moving forward. His BABIP this season is a robust and almost certainly unsustainable .360. His career average BABIP is .323, and only once before has his seasonal BABIP finished above .330 – last year, .331. He is walking more...

A few highlights: Melvin feels that re-signing closer Trevor Hoffman early will aid the Brewers in attracting free agent starting pitchers. Melvin hopes to add two starters. When asked about trading Prince Fielder or Ryan Braun, Melvin responded, "I don't see that happening."...
