Poor Harry Teinowitz, boo hoo, he hates the Cardinals.

 

When I see him in Tucson I'll have to give him a St. Louis Cardinals beer mug or something.

 

We'll see if we get 1-2 White Sox calls with Harry running the show.

I think trading for your buddy podsednik and vizcaino for lee is considered a major move.

For Milwaulkee. :lol:

 

Seriously though, I think the Brewers have about 25 to 30% of their total payroll locked up in both Jenkins and Lee. Those guys need to perform, otherwise they'll be in trouble when it comes to locking up the likes of Ben Sheets long - term.

I didn't know that Spod and LV is a major move..

 

 

Yeah I remember those opening headline on Sportscenter, and USA today..front page material.

What else do you suggest then? We filled 3 holes with the Lee deal, getting a leadoff hitter, another reliever who's brutal against lefties in the pen, and another starter for the rotation so that we don't have to see Jason Grilli and his 8+ ERA again. And one time, you were in favor of trading Lee for Podsednik and Doug Davis I believe.

The CWS had 78 SB's last yr. Pods w a down year at the plate had 70 SB's. MIN had 116 SB's. The need was obvious. Moving Lee cleared over 16M/2yr.

 

That allowed them to sign El Duque to a 2yr & Uribe to a 3yr plus plan for Rowand.

So that trade affected no less than 6 players for the CWS:

El Duque, Uribe, Rowand, Pods, Viscaino, PTBNL

 

That certainly qualifies as a big move. ;)

They'd love to dump Jenkins contract, but no one in the right mind will take it. Lee will produce though, but there still going nowhere next year. They got some good young talent coming up though.
