Let me be a bit clearer - I think it's a good signing.  I actually think it's a very good signing for MIL and improves the BP. That being said, I think people are jumping the gun if they think they are getting the Hoffman that has been heralded for a very padded and overrated career.  He is in absolutely no way one of the games top closers (as someone said earlier).  He's lost too much speed on his fastball to hide what was...

agreed fondy, good gawd we paid gagme 10 million for a year!  at this price for hoffman anything over 25 saves is a steal.

1.  The Brewers were looking at Dunn, only if we were able to trade Mike Cameron.  2. I think the Ben Sheets - 1 year deal is a real possibility.  The Market domino effect is slowing down and guys like Perez, Sheets and Wolf are on the back end without a deal.   They all can be had for below market value.   If Sheets is going to get the same amount of money from another club as he would from the Brewers...I think he would rather stay...

" One aging closer close to breaking down and glorified DH who is just AVERAGE by which other sluggers are compared...... or one of the most lethal hitters ever still at the top of his game? I'd choose Ramirez over both of them. " And when the Brewers are up by 1 in the top of the 9th on the road, or bottom of the 9th at home, you'd trot out whom exactly to close out the game?  McClung? Hoffman converted 30-34 saves last...

I am not so sure.   I think the key question is....do the Brewers plan on trying to re-sign Fielder? I really dont know what their plan is.   I have feeling they want to hold on to him for one more year then trade him next off-season for pitching.  I personally dont like it.  If, we only plan on holding on to him for one more year, why not trade him away for a stud major leage ready #1 or #2 (Halladay, Cain...etc).  It could be that...

So overall Keith Law prolly didnt watch nothing but highlights on Gathright  so I dont see him as a solid scout. Too bad you're completely uneducated on who Keith Law is....   I know who Keith Law is and I know How Gathright played lastyear   he made very few mistakes in CF last year and most mistake he made was in LF just causer the Cubs got themselves a great 4th OF dont mean that you need to be trying to clown the move or...

I agree with most of the points, but I just want to add that Melvin is far from being down. Just like adding Hoff today greatly improved our bullpen we could do the same tomorrow or next week with our rotation and lineup... we could sign Sheets to a 1 yr deal for aprox 10 Mil and make a push for an Abreu or Dunn and our team would be looking really solid going in to next year. I guess my point is fans need to stop with the...

Yeah that is true I wouild love to see a good pitcher come to the brewers without having to get rid of fielder or braun

what would the giants have to give you guys? consider cain/lincecum untouchable. in your guys opinion what would it cost the Giants?    if those guys are untouchable, it would probably take sandoval, bumgarner, sanchez, and maybe another good prospect (in the top ten of the giants system).
