All BF.net Discussion Team

[CheezWizHed]

After reading about Mr. 3TO in the minor leagues and a few other choice names in that thread, I decided it would be interesting to fill-out the "All BF.net discussion team".

 

These are guys that have generated the most discussion on BF.net. I'm going to throw out the "resign/extension" type discussions to be more in favor of:

"his elbow is too high"

"His defense isn't really that bad"

and anything rhyming with Man-yon.

 

So, basically, the ones that didn't add too much to the team, but added oh, so much to this board for discussion...

 

So, vote for your favs, just make sure he wore a Brewer's uni at least once:

 

DH: Branyon - the reason this idea exists

1B: Overbay - we will never know if he can play LF...

2B: Ginter - I was sure he was a diamond in the rough.

SS: Yuni - No (more) comments needed.

3B: Wes Helms - I thought about McGehee here, but they were nearly the same player...

C: WHOA SOLVVD - Legend

LF: Kevin Mensch - actually, no one was impressed with his play, but that big melon was worth a few words...

CF: Chris Dickerson - ok, it was a short but verbose stay with the Brewers; Including an avatar that stayed longer than he did.

RF: Gabe Gross - Looks like Josh Butler will top out at AAA, so looks like we should have kept Gross after all.

 

SP: Suppan - One for the ages.

SP: Wes Obermueller - yes, I'll admit to being a supporter...

SP: Ruben Quevedo - Thought we stole one from the Cubs.

 

RP: Joe Winkelsas - feel good stories always print well. Too bad we didn't feel good for too long.

RP: Brooks Kieschnick - he was like a Branyon that could pitch...

RP: Daniel Ray Herrera - only lasted 1.2 innings, but lots of MB used to store the comments on him last summer...

 

CL: Turnbow (remember the icons of the bow that spun back and forth?)

[Funketown]

I don't remember a Branyon .

 

Also, Kotsay.

[3and2Fastball]

Mark Kotsay. Centerfield. Definitely.

[thablingster]

Here are my votes:

 

SP: Manny Parra

C: Jason Kendall

1B: Russell Branyan

2B: Keith Ginter

SS: Yuni B

3B: Wes Helms

LF: Kevin Mench

CF: Mark Kotsay

RF: Gabe Gross

RP: Grant Balfour

 

An honorable mention to Jose Capellan for RP and JJ Hardy for SS. I feel like Mat Gamel needs to be in here somewhere because we've been trying to free Mat Gamel for three years now but I couldn't find anywhere for him. Maybe DH.

[giffted1]

Gotta put "King George" Jorge De La Rosa in the rotation. He's got amazing stuff. Lefties just take longer to develop.

[mothershipconnection]

Wayne Franklin and "El Duquecito" can round out the rotation unless bumped out by Ben Hendrickson.

 

Hernan Iribarren needs to be on that team, if only as the utility IF.

[The Mexican Weez]

The 'Pen's got a spot for Scott Linebrink

Utility Guy is Bill Hall

 

And all AAA team is Matt Laporta

[Dollarbill13]

No Dave Bush mentions yet? Also Matt Wise comes to mind.

[PKBadger]

Bill Hall - SS, 2B, 3B, CF....and pitcher.

[berniebrewer4life]

Ben Hendrickson, if only because his family(dad?) used to post here.

[RockCoCougars]

Ben Hendrickson, if only because his family(dad?) used to post here.

 

I received a personal private message from Mr. Hendrickson himself after I had the audacity to suggest that the Brewers may be better served starting a pitcher with the ability to break a pane of glass with his fastball.

[Dragonbait]

its a shame none of that made it into a WHOA SOLVVD

FWIW, I also got several private messages from him and he seemed like a genuinely nice guy.

I'm guessing that you were much more complimentary toward his son. He came off as an absolute moron to me, and I told him as much.... along with giving him some advice for possible better career choices for Ben. I used to have our exchanges saved, but I think that they've been lost to the ages with all the board changes.

[Invader3K]

Pitching coach would be Rick Kranitz and hitting coach would be Butch Wynegar.

[Oldcity]

I don't know, Rick Peterson sure made a splash in the one year he was here.

 

Mike Cameron for center, too.

[brettac1]

Brady Clark deserves a spot as the 4th OF.

[Funketown]

I'll also nominate Mike Rivera for backup catcher, although an argument could probably also be made for Kottaras.

[Invader3K]

Actually, you're right. I meant Peterson but typed out Kranitz's name for some reason.

[homer]

Brady Clark deserves a spot as the 4th OF.

 

Geno just rolled over in his easy chair.

[CheezWizHed]

Nyjer probably could get consideration just from all the fan interactions, Chris Carpenter, etc...

[bacon06]

Ned Yost for manager. Yosted.
