Do you think he will be a guy who is trade bait or a building block?

I'm not against trading him...but I like players with his combination of speed and power that can also play multiple positions. A super sub.

Sub. I'm good with that. He can play a week here a month there. He's young I get that. He just had some real poopy at bats over the last couple weeks that I saw.

I'm not sure he is a 162 game starter for a good team, but if his OBP skills improve a bit and he continues being versatile in the field...he is a nice addition to a roster. And who knows...maybe he keeps improving and you can roll with him in CF for the future.

Is he DeAza?

Ramirez & Rondon are looking to be a nice 1-2 punch.

Yes, they are. Good to see young power arms in the bullpen that can get the job done consistently.

Am I missing something? Do .290 middle infielders grow on trees?????

I blame the steroid era. People still have steroid era expectations.

They dont realize how valuable a .290 20 homer short stop is

He sucks. Bad plate approach. Role player. Glad we saw it now though instead of next year.

Way too early to tell. Relax, Scooter

Yep, way too early to give up on a switch hitter with some pop who can play multiple positions.

He is always injured or not worth the money. Brewers wish they could have that deal back. Love it. Fuck that prick.

I like the way Soler brought his hands in and muscled that ball fair.

Baez looks good at short, too.

Yeah fuck him sideways. Another never was in the league with a big fucking mouth. Could not have been happier to see him get knocked around.

I took no small amount of delight as they recounted how he refused to take an offer call from the Angels because he was on vacation. :lol:

One can only hope someone in the organization sends him a thank-you-for-being-a-fuck basket when they clinch.

I hope Ricky lets Hendricks pitch bus out of this, no matter the outcome. Call it character building.

The brewers jumped out to a real hot start..like 19-4

They have been .500 since ..maybe a game or 2 under...they aren't winning the central or wc.

The Dodgers are like 20-4 in kershaw starts n 500 without him..they won't do any damage in post season . The Cubs right now are a better team than Milwaukee .

I don't know. Let Goldberg continue his undefeated streak for as long as he can; no reason to Scott Hall the thing for the fuck of it.
