SABATHIA TO BREWERS!!

Re: SABATHIA TO BREWERS!!

Well I would pretty much say Gutierrez is a bust, prob the same with Choo. I don't think Crowe will ever make it either. So hopefully LaPorta is the real deal and not another Andy Marte.

Crowe's batting .325 w/ 4 HR, 43 R, 26 RBI, and 9 SB through half as many games as LaPorta. He isn't the same kind of player as LaPorta, so he isn't going to have the same power numbers, but he's probably the best performing OF we have between Akron & Buffalo right now.

Yeah Crow is tearing it up right now, but this is first time he has hit like this in his career. If it lasts then great. I just don't see it. I remember last year he was horrible in Akron. Struggled to hit over .200.

He hit .259 in Akron last year, which isn't great by any stretch of the imagination, but its well over .200. The one thing that does worry me about him, though, is that he can't stay healthy for a whole year and basically hasn't since we drafted him

Thats true about the health. .259 is ok, but I was at some games last year where I remember he was hitting like .210 at the time. Don't get me wrong I hope he turns out to be a great player someday for the Indians.

Oh I know, I'm not trying to shut you down or anything, I would just like to see him do good...or at least get good enough to trade him for something good if there is a log-jam at OF in the majors

Re: SABATHIA TO BREWERS!!

You guys could also shift LaPorta back to first base.

Yeah, not as much competition at 1B, but he'd have to unseat Garko, as unspectacular as that he be

Re: SABATHIA TO BREWERS!!

Once again the ****ing Cubs sit on their hands. And please don't give me this, "the Cubs don't have anything to give" crap. If Sabathia can go for a AA stud and two other minor leaguers, the Cubs could've pulled this off.

But nope. Jim Hendry is a POS. We'll probably get Gil Meche, or better yet, we'll get Steak Fajitas, er, I mean, Steve Trachsel back.....YAY!!!!!!! Steve can then yell at some of his teammates to turn off the TV after HE gets pummelled with his 81 mph fastball.

This organization sucks. I guarantee any money, if the Cubs happen to blow this, everyone will look back at this trade that they should've made.

****ing losers. I'm pissed.

Anything short of giving us Soto, there isn't much the Cubs could have done. Your farm system is weak sauce...at least compared to the Berwers.

Jordan Brown is our 1st basemen of the future.

I heard this morning that we got Taylor Green in this deal as well, he's a lefty 3rd basemen. Looked up his numbers, and he makes Andy Marte look like Babe Ruth.

Agreed. Weak sauce farm system indeed. Best prospect to come out of their farm system was Pie and that man is amazing??

Re: SABATHIA TO BREWERS!!

EG, Taylor Green, if traded to the Indians is a 2nd baseman, which is why he would be the PTBNL. They want to see how he is at 2nd base. His bat over at 2nd would, as I believe Keith Law said, is Mike Lowell-esqe.

Yeah, Green would be a decent addition to the trade. It can't hurt to have a(nother) good prospect at 2B in the system.

Re: SABATHIA TO BREWERS!!

It's a done deal now. You can find it at www.mlb.com The indians got LaPorta, Zach Jackson and Bryson and the ptbnl.
