Discussing Segura, Hellweg, and Pena

[TooLiveBrew]

No, I definitely don't think it's pronounced like the mermaid. Like I said when I posted it, it was pretty weak.

I'm finding it very difficult to resist being hateful.

You know, that a grown man would go to the little mermaid for inspiration...

[TooLiveBrew]

Hahaha... alright fair enough. I'll see myself out...

[Harry Doyles JD]

surely its ar-ree-ell, not like the mermaid, right?

 

Ariel Speedwagon....write that down.

I don't know about TLB, but the Little Mermaid thing occurred to me right away too, because I have a five year-old daughter. I'm sure somebody else here can back me up on this: It's amazing how little my principled hatred for Disney princesses, fairies, My Little Pony, etc. matters when set against the realities of my day-to-day life. It's her world; I just work in it. For free.

Awesome

[pogokat]

well, that's settled

[And That]

I'm with gregmag and TLB... I have a four year old daughter. It's rare the hour goes by that I don't hear about at least two or three of the Disney princesses. The Little Mermaid is now and will forever be the first thing I think of when I see or hear the name Ariel.

I wish his same was Jim Hellwig, a.k.a the Ultimate Warrior it'd be frickin awesome to have someone come out to the Warriors music!!!!

[Mass Haas]

Perhaps the most offbeat twisted detour of a minor league thread here in ages, but I will add that it was my pleasure to tell the Mrs. that "it's OK, I got this, you rest here on this bench" while proceeding to wait in line at Disney World with the daughter years ago to gawk at (excuse me, meet) Ariel.

 

Apparently several other dads in line near me had the same idea .

[TheCrew07]

And I thought my never ending battle to watch something other than Nemo or Bambi was bad... haha.

I'm almost positive that Todd Coffey used the Ultimate Warrior's theme music.

Hahaha... Guilty of the same thing myself...only it was Jasmine!

 

As far as nicknames go, saw some great ideas. None of them will matter though, because RR will call Segura "Seggy"

[HiAndTight]

Might now be a good idea...I'd hate to think you caused yourself to stroke out. I think it better to go with what comes natural for you.

Awesome

 

This made my morning.

[faede]

That McCalvy piece has probably the best discussion of Segura's future at ss that I've seen. He manages to summarize all the important factors, pro and con.

 

People have probably said this already, but "Johnny Hellweg" is an awesome name. Add to that the fact that the other guys in the trade are named Ariel and Jean, which are cool and unusual first names, and I think this may be the best name return in any Brewers trade I can remember.

 

My last name is Hellwig. Therefore, Johnny has become my all time favorite brewer prospect.

[narwhalattack]

If and once Hellweg comes to Milwaukee, his entrance song should be "Highway to Hell" by AC/DC.

Fangraphs -- Detailed report on Jean Segura

[TooLiveBrew]

In four seasons, Jean Segura is the best shortstop I’ve scouted not named Jurickson Profar.

There's a whole heck of a lot more to the article, and not all of it is just gushing.

 

But yeah.

[TheCrew07]

I have to believe he meant the best athlete playing the position, and not the best "SS", or at least that's how I took it.

Well what he meant was that he only scouts the Sally League. At least that's how I took it.
