JorgeFabregas Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Manny is unretiring. The strange thing is that he will reportedly have to serve a 50 game suspension instead of 100. Is baseball crediting him for going away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are people looking at replacing Alexei? We have him for the next 5 seasons at a pretty fair price, and we have literally no foreseeable SS talent in our minor league system that could take over.

It's not that people want to replace Alexei, it's that he's the most valuable trading chip outside of the young guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Aramis Ramirez signs with the Brewers. It's going to be a really nice to get to root for him after having to root against him for 8 years. He's going to be a monster in that park, as he lost more homers than anyone at Wrigley with the wind blowing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, there's good reason to believe the opposite, that Ramirez has benefitted quite a bit from Wrigley. .972 home OPS over the last 4 seasons, and if park dimensions are calculated alone (not accounting for wind) he'd lose 6 HR's out fo the 16 he hit at Wrigley last year just from the fence position.

I think McGehee was joining Braun in whatever he was taking. Career minor-leaguer for the Cubs, comes to Milwaukee, has huge season and a half, then forgets how to hit a baseball again.

And I'll use the good old "eye test" here, as in the games I watched, he was the only consistent Cubs player to fly out to the warning track when wind was howling in.
