I'm Heather. I'm a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (education major). If I paid as much attention to my studies as I did to Brewers baseball, I'd probably be teaching the classes.

Which Brewer needs to step up the most in 2010
Rickie Weeks
Manny Parra
Carlos Gomez
I voted Manny Parra based on how badly we need pitching help, but apparently, people don't agree with me.

Rumorville: Kevin Gregg, Mike Gonzalez

Adam McCalvy writes that the Brewers internally discussing Kevin Gregg and Mike Gonzalez. Gonzalez would be a nice addition to the 'pen, but he would cost the Crew a second round pick. Gregg wouldn't cost a pick, but he would probably cost the Crew a few more games next year than Gonzalez.

BA's top 30 Brewers prospects
Not nearly enough love for Caleb Gindl, IMO. The link also has a list of those who fell off the top 30 list.

Dominican Prospect Signed
Brewers have come to terms with 16-year-old shortstop Santo Aybar. Aybar was named the 18th-best Dominican prospect in July.
EDIT: I found this description of Aybar at Brewerfan.net: "The wiry Aybar is an aggressive hitter, swinging with a high leg kick to generate above-average raw power. He's a free swinger who scouts say will have to tone down his approach as he moves up the ladder. Some scouts like his aggressive approach, but his all-out swing gets him caught out front against breaking balls. Aybar is an above-average runner, with scouts timing him anywhere from 6.7 to 6.9 seconds in the 60-yard dash, though he's expected to lose speed as he adds muscle to his frame. Aybar has some athleticism, though scouts say his throwing motion is unusual and his defense is erratic, which could lead to him moving to center field, though there's a chance he could also handle third base."
Reminds me a lot of Alfonso Soriano.

Win Expectancy Graph
SBNation Coverage
A game that started out painfully slow only got more painful as the night went on.
The Brewers picked up right where they left off last night, leaving too many men on base and missing countless scoring opportunities. Such as in the third when the they couldn't score with runners on first and third and only one out. Or in the fifth when Casey McGehee hit a rocket to left that Seth Smith caught, and was able to double Ryan Braun off first. Or how about in the seventh when Jason Bourgeois left the base loaded. Total left on base: 27
Of course not all scoring opportunities were missed. Prince Fielder hit his 44th homer of the year in the second. Jason Kendall added another run in that inning, driving in McGehee on a double that nearly went out. Mike Cameron hit one out in the fourth and Jeff Suppan drove in Alcides Escobar later that inning with an RBI groundout. Jason Kendall added another RBI in the seventh and McGehee finished the scoring in the ninth with a solo home run.
Jeff Suppan, who has had pretty good numbers at Coors Field in his career, saw those numbers take a big hit tonight, as the Rockies hit just about everything he had. Soup allowed eight runs, all earned (although a few misplayed balls added to his dificulties), in six innings. He also had three wild pitches, two of which allowed a runner to score. Chris Smith came in in the seventh and allowed a two run homer to Troy Tulowitzki. John Axford followed Smith and pitched a clean eigth.
The Rockies win and Braves loss tonight brought Colorado's magic number down to one.
