Sweet beard.
I guess it's good. So long as he can hit MLB pitchers...
I will miss Cris Carter. His presence as a big bat kept your attention especially with his smooth effortless looking swing.
Thames is cheap and he has the left handed thing.
Arb players will be revealing this week. Scooter era?
Have a GREAT day.

#Brewers getting three players for Thornburg: RHP Josh Pennington, 3B/1B Travis Shaw, SS Mauricio Dubon. Quite a haul.

Shaw's MLB .com bio says his nickname is Mayor of Ding Dong City. So he has that going for him.

Stearns confirmed Villar will mostly play at 2B. Said Gennett will battle for playing time.

Seems like a pretty decent haul, might have gotten more mid season if he performed like he did last year, but that's a big risk, and glad they didn't take that risk.
Chris Sale to the Red Sox.
The rich get richer. Hell just give the Cubs Harper and the Yankees Trout and get it over with.
3B platoon? Perez/Shaw?
It's early with David Stearns at the switch. If he gets anything other than a day old newspaper for Garza he will surpass Uncle Ted as my favorite GM.
I'm sorry did I say Harper to the Cubs? I meant the most dominant reliever in the game Wade Davis. Just give him to the Cubs.
I really liked Thornberg... hopefully the big hole at 3rd will finally be filled.
Teams receiving Comp Rd A picks in '17 @MLBDraft will be: @Reds, @Marlins, @Brewers, @Twins, @Athletics and @RaysBaseball

After reading more about the Thornburg trade I sense we really like young kids that play the middle of the field and pitchers that have a chance to rebound. At some point does the tent get too small to hold the circus?
never
#Brewers reportedly sign 6'8" LHP Andrew Barbosa, 29, & invite him to big league spring camp, plenty of details here https://t.co/OcbWf2hP8H

We go on a team winter trip in state they need to schedule basketball games with the locals.
Barbosa was a pretty decent backup PG for the Phoenix Suns. Oh that's not Leondro Barbosa my bad. Carry on.
Maldy traded for younger, white Maldy
