Coreyisarealboy's Board-To-Board with Niteowl049

Just stealing a base is something Estrada has never done in his whole career while Kendall has 163 of them. If Kendall can get Suppan to win more than 12 games it will be worth getting him...Was going to give you a plus for your comment...can't even comment on page so writing you this message.

Maybe the Brewers will make some deals at the winter meetings. With only two or three free agent pitchers having 13 or more wins there isn't much on free agent market and one of those pitchers is Andy Pettitte and he isn't leaving Yankees. Suppan is better pitcher than he was last season but Capuano has put two bad seasons together. Losing Cordero was major loss for the bullpen. Now they have to probably replace Linebrink and Cordero even though Linebrink didn't do much. Linebrink had 1 save and 7 blown saves when Brewers got him from Padres.

I know what you mean. I'm worried too, and I haven't heard any news yet about the Brewers going after anyone else. It's nice that the Brewers signed an upgraded game managing catcher in Kendall, but it's not going to mean much if they can't turn to someone who can keep the leads.

One time in 2006 when he was pitching so badly his wife went to my blog and wrote a scathing comment about me bashing her poor husband. He is getting paid the big bucks so that is part of the game. Anyway he is a shell of the 18 game winner he was a couple or three years ago.

Am really worried about the Brewers pitching with the loss of Cordero, the uncertainty of what Capuano, Sheets and Suppan will do in 2008. Sheets seemed to get hurt at the worst times last season...still hasn't won more than 12 games...wish he would break out and win 18 or 19 games.

Bill Hall is due for a comeback after having 35 home runs in 2006 then having 14 last season. He hit a home run every 15.3 at bats in 2006 then last year had a home run every 32.3 at bats. Just noticed Anthony Gwynn had no homers in 123 at bats so not much production driving in only 4 more runs than Gallardo and he batted 83 times more than Gallardo.

I think this will open up opportunities for the Brewers in the free agent market. I expect them to be heavily involved in Aaron Rowand talks, with the possibility of moving Bill Hall to left. Unless Melvin strikes a deal to bring in another left fielder, that's the way I see this whole thing playing out.

Who do you think is most likely to get more playing time with Jenkins being let go.
