Default Your Official Milwaukee Brewers Thread

Early 2009 Brewer news:

NO MORE SKAALEN!


Oh yeah, no more Sveum either. And probably/hopefully new coaches all around.

Woot!

Trade talk time.

How about this. We trick the Padres into taking JJ Hardy & Rickie Weeks for Jake Peavy. Hell, toss In Bill Hall, he can be a vendor or something.

Then, sign Brandon Wood to play 3rd, Orlando Hudson to play 2nd.

Resign CC, and pretend we're a big market club.

CC
Peavy
Gallardo.

We win.

I didn't realize you were that anti-Sveum - anything against him, or are you just after full turnover for full turnover's sake?

Oh, I wasn't anti-Svuem. I was anti-Skaalen. That's the big news. The Svuem stuff was more of a "oh yeah, that happened too".

However, I think it's a mistake to bring back Sedar, Castro, and Maddux. I think you're more likely to attract a quality manager if you let him build his own stuff. (not that I have anything against those 3 coaches, they're not terrible, but, let the new guy have his way, instead of these holdovers, imo)

You'll be sorry we don't have Suppan if we make the 2006 playoffs.

Oh wait, never mind.

You already have your version of Suppan, Dave Bush. (the home/road disparity)
