Get To Know The BBA: Bernie’s Crew
At the end of the award voting, I decided that since the Baseball Bloggers Alliance had come along so quickly, it might be nice to get an idea of who was actually in the group. To that end, I’m working through the roster and asking ten questions of each member. The first five [...][...]

Interview: Brewers’ Jonathan Lucroy
Jonathan Lucroy is perhaps the current favorite to start behind the plate for the Milwaukee Brewers in 2010. The young man hit .267/.380/.418 for the Huntsville Stars and just finished representing the Brewers in the Arizona Fall League. Jonathan was kind enough to be interviewed via email over t[...]

Milwaukee Brewers: BA’s Top 10 Prospects

Offseason Prospectus #4: The Milwaukee Brewers
Not too long ago I posted about the “I-94 swap” of J. J. Hardy for Carlos Gomez. At the time I presumed that Gomez would have another year prior to arbitration, but as it turned out, he squeaked into that magical “super two” class by the hair on his chinny-chin-chin. Of the [...]

JJ Hardy No Longer A Potential O’s Acquisition
I discussed the possibility of the Orioles trading for JJ Hardy previously, and it looks like that potential move is off the table now as the Brewers have dealt him to the Twins for outfielder Carlos Gomez. Is that an offer the O’s could have or should have beaten? [...]

Evaluating Jarrod Washburn
Jon Heyman and Tom Haudricourt both see the Milwaukee Brewers as serious suitors for Jarrod Washburn this offseason. Doug Melvin and the Brewers seriously pursued Washburn this past summer as a trade candidate, so the organization obviously believes he can augment the starting rotation (as if tha[...]

Milwaukee JS Player Grades
The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel recapped and graded the individual performances of every Brewer that saw significant playing time throughout the season. Grading is extremely subjective, so no “true” grade for any one player exists. Still, some of the grades doled out by the Milwaukee J[...]

Overpaying for a Closer
In perhaps one of the most organization-defining offseasons Doug Melvin has ever faced, the team attempted to solidify the back-end of the bullpen by resigning Trevor Hoffman to a one-year, $8MM deal. The contract also has a mutual option for 2011. Hoffman was previously unwilling to include an op[...]

A Trip to the Infirmary
Now that the Milwaukee Brewers have officially completed their 2009 season, news of more and more players with minor injuries continue to come to light. Casey McGehee will undergo surgery this afternoon to clean out some “loose bodies” from his right knee. The potential NL Rookie of t[...]
