Balta1701 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Big shakeup for the Brewers. That's the same Jason Bourgeois who was in our system a short while ago. He was hitting .316 and was 36/43 in steals at AAA Nashville for the Brewers. Brewers eating a ton of salary on Bill Hall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHizzle85 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 So do people on this board still wanna trade for Bill Hall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockren Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 As a resident in the Madison area...the Crew are kind of like my 2nd team. I look forward to watching Escobar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to watching Escobar. I wonder if he'll hit enough. He might be one of those guys that got insanely hyped but just doesn't end up hitting enough to stick. Kind of like a Pokey Reese or Cesar Itzuris (so to speak). I'd have traded him while the value was high. He has a very nice set of tools though.

I'd have traded him while the value was high. He has a very nice set of tools though. I think they held onto him because he has such a great glove. If you look at all the Brewers prospects...you'll read somewhere in the scouting report "his bat can carry the position"...as in you may have to hide him somewhere on defense because he can't pick a ball up. I think he'll hit for a high average while carrying a low OBP. His speed/SB numbers suggest he'll steal a lot of bases as well. He could be a gold-glove, base-stealing lead-off man for the Brewers down the line...which is what they need as much as anything other than any type of pitching.

knightni Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 So, what's wrong with Bill Hall? Just not producing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitting .201 with a .606 OPS certainly mustn't have helped his cause. Ever since 2006 the wheels have really just come off in his career.

Marky Mark Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Good for Jason, I hope he sticks in the bigs for a little while. I am still angry today that Bourgeois stayed in AAA while Andy Gonzalez was remaining in MLB during a certainly forgettable season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of 2000 and 2005, 2007 did more for the Sox than any other season since 1994. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, in investing in players who know how to take a pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
