What's Brewing?

Too many infielders
Too many outfielders

Yikes, don't know where to start.
Odds that they are Brewers in April 07 (purely from my head)

In the "Who else is gonna take them" category...
  • Jenkins -60%
  • Mench -50%
  • Pitchers- Turnbow -60%
In the "We just got them, so for that reason alone, they might keep them" category...
  • Nix -80%
  • Graffanino -10%
  • Counsell -80%
  • Estrada -95%
  • Pitchers -Vargas-95%, Aquino -50%

In the "We might need crafty veterans around" category...

  • Koskie -30%
  • Cirillo -40%
  • Clark -30%
  • Miller -75%
  • Gross -80%
  • Pitchers -Shouse-95%, Wise -25%, Bush-95%, Cordero -95%
In the "We can keep bragging about AAA playoffs" category...
  • Braun -40%
  • Hardy -85%
  • Gwynn, Jr -85%
  • Hart -99%
  • Rivera - 20%
  • Rottino -15%
  • Pitchers-Sarfarte-65%, Capellan-80%, Villanueva-85%, Jackson -20%, Hendrickson -10%

"Should be the face of the franchise" category...
  • Hall -90%
  • Weeks-99%
  • Fielder -100%
  • Pitchers, Sheets -99%, Capuano -99%+,
So, this adds up to about 22-23 players, so I think the Brewers will make a trade or two to add the last 2-3. Note: I didn't include all the 40 man roster (+Braun), everyone else is 10% or less, although I'm sure I missed someone.

I will skip pitchers today. Ideal starters in '07:

CF - Gwynn, Jr.
SS - Hardy (moves to 8 when average gets to .220, everyone else up one spot and he finishes .270)
2B - Weeks, Jr.
1B - Prince
LF - Hall
3B - Koskie (replaced by Braun midway)
C - Estrada aka Ponch
RF - Hart (get a different #)

Starters once everyone gets hurt:

SS - Counsel
C - Estrada
1B - Prince
3B - Hall
RF - Hart
LF - Jenkins/Mensch
2B - Grafino
CF - Clark

*Now this is a blog that I want to be a part of. (not that there is anything wrong with the others)

Here are the big moves remaining for the brewers. 2 will happen during the winter meetings in the next few days, and the last will happen first week of spring training.

1. Mench and Turnbow are traded to Baltimore for another minor league outfield and Rodrigo Lopez starting pitcher.

2. Jenkins is traded to New York for a bag of baseballs and a New York style pizza. or two minor league players.

3. Brewers sign Shannon Stewart to play in the outfield and be another veteran that will coach our young guys.

Then in spring training.

Brady Clark is traded for a backup catcher to fill in for the hurt Damian Miller who hurt himself day one of stretching during pitchers and catchers camp.

Opening Day Lineup.
LF-Shannon Stewart
2B-Weeks
1B-Fielder
CF-Hall
RF-Hart
3B-Koskie
C-Estrada
SS-Hardy
P-Capuano
