OK last year I thought he was pretty bad on the broadcast. I just reupped my Fox Sports package which gives me four teams, not the brewers wrong zip code, but I get the pregame and post game show. I swear Davey Nelson sounds MUCH better this season. Is he not talking to much? Or he seems to want to just talk and talk like he did last year but stops. I was pleasantly surprised, he is sounding great!!

as we head into the new year. are you happy with the roster as it sits today going into spring training? let's assume no moves will be made and then as teams start to look at pitching they'll call the crew for their excess. IF they go into the season with the current roster.are we better off than last year? Where do you feel we're looking a little thin. How does the team match up versus last years crew. Also, with some teams in the central adding some players how do you feel about the coming season?

I see on espn insider that kenny lofton could be handed for milwaukee. Does this mean he goes to left? Or do they move hall again and put him in left and lofton in center. Don't see lofton in center since his arm is more suited for a corner outfield spot. Or does this mean Bill Hall is about to be traded. He is 40 but had some steals and hit for decent average. OH yes the veteran leadership this team so needs. Or so the "experts" think from last year.

OK, The Brewers talked to the cardinals about Scott Rolen. One thing the brewers do is hit well. They score runs and hit for power. Yes Ryan Braun isn't very good defensively at third. But why would the brewers think about this deal. Or any consider doing this. Rolen adds, average which we're ok with. He adds power which we're ok with. Why would we spend $33 million on an often injuried third baseman. We need pitching, as does every other team. If Braun is so bad, after only one season, why would we add salary. If they don't think braun can play third move him to left field. I'm ok with that. Then move Hall to third. He can play infield, its' been proven. Then fill in the outfield spot. We have a few candidates to do that. The result, we still hit good. We just shuffled players around. Best part is we didn't Add any $$$$. Hall can probably field better than braun. I don't see any reason to add Rolen. Now take that money and go out and pick up another couple arms. Last i read the Rolen deal is dead. But some feel the others will drop and they cardinals will come crying to us.  

Remember this was peter gammons on XM today.Peter has a tendancy to make some things up in the past. He said Scott Rolen is heading to the brewers. Would/Could make sense with pay structure, he wouldn't be a huge contract since he's been hurt. Braun has said he'd go to the outfield if needed. PLUS, what a slap in the face to tony larussa if Rolen came to milwaukee. With the past problems they've had.

OK after this past season there seems to be some more teams thinking this way. tieing up $10 million for cordero is alot of money. He seemed to breakdown toward the end. Why is wrong with spreading the money around. Signing more middle or past closers,....ie wickman,etc. Then just using the hot guy. i know during the season i wondered why they brought Cordero in when Turnbow went one or two outs in the 8th. I know I know Turnbow might not be the answer. But to me it would help spread around the closing. Plus our middle relief didn't seem to bad. THOUGHTS???

I just heard on the cubs broadcast last night that the cubs announcers said Johnny Estrada had a 10% throw out percent. WOW didn't know he was that bad. Is he worth the money and the slow base running to keep around? I remember when they traded for Henry Blanco that they wanted a defensive cather. Wouldn't that be better than what we have now?

OK i have the Fox Sports Network package BUT i only get games close to me which isn't the crew. But I do get pregame with him and Nelson. I know Nelson was a player, coach, etc. He's ok but gets tripped up on his words. What's the story with Craig Coshun besides the pretty hair what else does he do?  Is he a late comer to this whole jumpin on the brewers band wagon?

just wanted to get everyones thoughts on our situational left hander. Has Shouses' ran his course? Do you think we need to get rid of him and replace him with someone. Or with the log jam in the pen is there a place to add another left hander. Here are a few names to ponder that could be available for not alot of scratch.

thoughts???????????

there are suppose to be rumors of the brewers possibly trading jenkins or mench while the value is high. what are your thoughts on this. will it hurt team chemistry? PLUS what do you trade for? I guess you never have enough pitching. You know jenkins/mench won't keep up the hitting clip they are on. Do you wait it out? Deal now?

thoughts?
