Apart from this last August, 5-0, he's been Par at BEST.
CC said he would like to come back here next year too...ya alright. Take a HUGE pay cut from what you could be getting buddy if your that set on coming back.

I wouldn't count CC out completely for next year.
He likes the city and the team.....and the fans love him. For some players that enough to take the 2nd or 3rd highest offer on the table.
Time will tell...
^^^i don't think they'll be able to afford CC though....he's gonna wind up in NY (either NL or AL) or boston like all the big name free agents do
Chicago is what you would get if Milwaukee had sex with it's sister. Said by a co-worker of mine arguing w/ somebody on how Milwaukee is better then Chicago.
He's always said he likes the NL better because he can actually bat then...but I'm sure for the right money he'd give up batting.

Sheets can go for all I care. He sux too. Hart needs to get the boot TODAY. He is AWFUL!

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Hall as a top candidate for getting the hell out of town?!?!? He's right up there with Rickie in terms of people that we need to cut ties with IMO.
Can't hit a RHP to save his life to the point where he was hardly useful all season.
Another case of finding a nut at the right time a few years ago, getting paid for it, and now... nothin'.
Counsell was a monster with the bases loaded. He's not getting any younger. That's like saying Nolan Ryan struck out 5K people and threw 7 no-no's and expecting him to still be able to do it. Craig's glory days are behind him.
Hardy to 3rd, Escobar to SS, go find a 2B via free agency (Durham is getting old). Cameron goes, Gwynn in his place. Sign CC, show Suppan tapes of the 06 NLCS and tell him to pitch like that... don't change anything else and see you in October 09.

no no no....he had his time to shine. His hitting has been meager at best. His defense is SO SO if you ask me. We have more dead weight on this team than any of the other teams in the playoffs combined. Suppan needs to go though for sure. AWFUL. What was he like 6th in MLB this season with homers given up? Pathetic stat. Thats like saying you have the most shanks in professional golf.

he'd be a monster in L.A. I'm still holding out for him though. I think if they would cut Suppan, Sheets, Weeks, Hart and throw one more in the mix for good measure, he'd be worth throwing a good offer out. His wife and Fielder's wife are good friends, he likes the city, the fans love him...its a win win. PLUS not having to see Weeks in a Brewers uniform would be worth that alone!

So in your honest opinion, do you think they can retain/obtain enough players to make a run again next season or do you think this was their best shot for a while?
We bought tickets to Uecker's Winter Warm-Up and I hope there's some exciting news and discussions come mid-January when that event occurs!
The problem with cutting a bunch of guys and paying CC is that if CC gets hurt the Brewers are done and have nothing to fall back on. Brewers need a lead off hitter and a second baseman. If the Crew doesnt get CC then i can see Sheets staying. CC did say he will listen to what the Brewers have to offer him first. CC in interviews has said he likes it here but the main thing is he wants to have fun and play with a good group over being payed a ton. I know everyone is hopping he stays. Time will tell
IMO they gave their best shot for awhile.
If CC comes back next year...I think they have a better shot than this year.
Cut the dead weight, find some more pitchers, find a batting coach. Stop feeding prince fielder manjuice.....etc.

Unless CC is a complete BS artist, I think his feelings about wanting to come back are sincere, and to alot of players it's not all about the $$$$$$$. I personally hope he's back. I wouldn't even waste my time with Sheets, he's a walking mangina if I ever saw one. The amount of excuses that come out of his mouth is never ending. I was waiting for "I have hemmroids, I can't go today".
They need a closer, and a 2nd baseman, those should be the #1 priorities after CC. I mean a rotation like this:
CC
Gallardo
Parra
Bush
Suppan
isn't that bad. Hell, Villanuava is even back on track and could fill in if one of the above goes down. Middle relief is OK, but they need a CLOSER!!! Torres?? Really?? Svuem reminded me of Yost when he was talking about how Torres "got us out of it" on Sat. night. Got us out of it?? More like GOT US INTO IT!!!! He pitched the bases loaded for Gods sake!!!
And yeah, they need a 2nd baseman, BAD!!! I think with some of the talent they have to trade (Weeks, Hall come to mind) they could get a few young prospects or perhaps a decent younger guy with so-so stats. And I would take so-so stats if they could play some D. Watching Weeks is like watching a train wreck.
Dont the Brewers still have Capuano? Where the hell is that guy? If they keep Sheets they should make him a closer. he can only go a few innings before he gets rocked anyways. I really think Sheets would make a good closer.
