Question

I’ve seen different stuff on Marshall and Gallagher.

Is it after today Lou will determine who stays in the rotation or is Marshall definitely in for at least now?

Maybe he thinks one Sean is enough for a starting rotation.

Being of the heritage myself I heartile approve of 2 irish boys. Sean is the Galeic spelling of the name also spelled Shawn or Shaun.

With the exception of one game recently Marquis has been nothing to write to your grandma about but he’s pitched 6 innings or so and kept the team in the game.

Cardinals

Give them their due but they can do no wrong according to the national media.

If the team went on a mass shooting spree tomorrow they’d somehow say they are the greatest thing in the world outside the Yanks and Red Sox.

The most nauseating example was after the 9/11 attacks people claiming McGwire showed class by saying the rest of the season should be cancelled to honor the victims and they shoulf just have the playoffs. Or not make up the cancelled games.

McGwire said it for purely selfish reasons. Bonds was about to break his record.

Oh and they and the Astros shook hands when their playoff series was over a few years ago and it was treated like they had just cured cancer, AIDS and the common cold.

it’s hard to hit playing once a week. It’s harder when you haven’t seen any RHPs in three weeks.

That said, he isn’t doing much to prove he belongs up here when Sori gets back.

I'd rather not.

Marshall seems to me like he was rushed to the bigs before he developed the endurance to be a full-time starter, and so I’d just as soon keep his innings down if possible.

The Brewers want the deal done before Tuesday

so that they can get two starts out of Sabathia before the All-Star break. If the deals is done, C.C. would start Tuesday and Sunday.

Pretty interesting...

Since most BCBers haven’t really seen DeRo play SS, they don’t think he can play there. But, out of the list that I posted, I would regard him as the second best defensive SS behind Izzy. (I’ve seen him play SS about 5 times in person and tons of times on TV.)

Most people would say DeRo has the best bat on that list.

So, I just find it interesting that he doesn’t get more love…

Here's the link.

Dodgers fall out of the running, says Ken Rosenthal. Then he SPECULATES that means the Brewers are “close”.

Pure guesswork, IMO.

For 3 prospects?

Are the Brewers prospects really that great? Seems like they got a bargain.

SS Alcides Escobar and 3B Taylor Green or OF Lorenzo Cain

are the names I’m hearing mentioned to go with LaPorta. All speculation.

According to MLB Trade rumors

4:54PM EST: Jon Heyman weighs in on the impending Sabathia deal, stating that the Indians have been trying to pry top shortstop prospect Alcides Escobar away from the Brewers as well. Heyman re-affirms that the Brewers would like a deal complete as soon as possible, in order to get two starts from Sabathia – one Tuesday and one Sunday – before the All-Star Break.

No mention of the unconfirmed report of the deal being completed from Heyman just yet.

This may be a stupid question but

why is there no mention of the cubs at the very least making a bid for CC?

impending sale

makes it tough to put big offers out there for new ownership to swallow up.

True, though. Hurts to see him move to Milwaukee. If that’s the deal. For Sure.

by Unrestricted View on Jul 6, 2008 4:18 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Mostly because the prospects don't match up

The Indians want immediate help in the OF and at the corners (unless they move Peralta to 3b, in which case they need a SS). The Brewers have those prospects, the Cubs really don’t.

They are stupid. Even Cardinal fans hate them.

They have called Rick “HGH” Ankiel the best CF in baseball many times. Declared the Cy Young to Adam Wainwright in April while he was shutting down the Giants. I have more examples, but I think you get the point.
