PECOTA Projections are out
They have the Crew finishing 5th in the Central...but they also have the Nats winning 82 games, and no one outside of the AL East winning 90. Crazy, or genius?

Looper Option Declined!
Our long national nightmare is over. There'll be dancing in the streets, drinking in the saloons, and necking in the parlor.

Prince Fielder, defensive asset
Lost in the shuffle of Prince's fantastic, MVP-worthy season is the fact that UZR actually has him as slightly above average with the glove. Granted, it was only half a run, and posted a basically average season with the glove probably isn't something worth getting too worked up about, but when it comes from a guy who is widely pegged as a future DH, and has never posted better than a -8.5 UZR, I think it's well worth noting.

Both McGehee and Gamel are on the bench tonight
Dude, WTF? I'm not on the fire Macha bandwagon, but this sort of stuff really makes me question. An argument can be made for starting McGehee over Counsell, but if you're giving McGehee the night off, you really need to be playing Gamel. It's the only thing that makes sense.

Braun ranked 5th most likely among young players to make the Hall of Fame
Longoria came out on top, and Braun only got 5% of the vote, but still, nice to see any sort of good Brewers-related news these days.

Interesting stat I noticed
So, I've been keeping a log of what uniforms the Brewers wear for the website Uni Watch (you can check the log out here if you're interested), and I was going through it. One of the great things about it is, uniform details aside, I've kept track of what pitcher started each day, and whether the Crew won or lost. So, with this information at my fingertips, I thought I might check out how many games the team has won with each pitcher. I've either watched or followed pretty closely every game so far this season, and I figured they'd have done best in games started by Yo, then games started by Bush, Looper, Parra, and Suppan, roughly in that order.
Much to my surprise, I found out that the Brewers actually have the exact same record of 6-3 in each of Gallardo's, Bush's, and Looper's starts. Suppan is basically neck and neck with them, at 6-4. And Parra has, apparently, been the whipping boy, as the team has gone 3-7 in his starts.
Anyway, I just found that interesting: first of all, that the team has strangely won the exact same number of starts for four of its five starters; and second of all, that while I always feel a huge burst of confidence on a Yovani day, the team has really been the same on every day that Manny doesn't start. I definitely would not have guessed that's the case.

Todd Coffey Theme Song
There was some discussion in the game thread about what Todd Coffey's entrance music could be, so I started thinking about it, and then I realized that there was an obvious choice everyone was overlooking.

BtB leaderboards in obscure pitching stats
Mark DiFelice is on a couple of these, and leads relievers in ratio of 0-1 counts to 1-0 counts; Gallardo also shows up.
