Pirate postgame: "Brewers rebuilding at hyper speed"

[QuevedosTongue]

@CespedesBBQ: Heard this mentioned on the Cubs broadcast: Pirates are 82-122 against the Brewers since Randall Simon clocked that Sausage in the face.

 

This might be my favorite stat ever!

I think at the point Brewers sign Zimmerman, I need to move my focus soley onto the minor league side of things. All we need to do is piss away another 14-18 million on a pitcher instead of just giving our own talented guys who make league minimum a chance. I'd be outraged if they chose Zimmerman over Lopez/Hader. Just because the guy was from Milwaukee doesn't mean we need to over spend during a rebuild....do it the right way, if anything trade for a true ace when time is right.

Don't worry. Zimmerman is not going to be playing for Milwaukee next year. The only reason people keep advocating for him is because he's from Wisconsin and they assume he's going to take a "hometown discount" to play here. Not gonna happen.

And when Jungmann, Nelson, Peralta, and two of Davies, Hader, Suter, Ortega, Cravy, Thornburg, and Lopez could fill out the rotation cheap... why spend $14-18 million on Zimmerman?

 

I'd rather trade for Prince Fielder if I'm gonna blow that sorta cash.

That too. IF the Brewers were going to spend big money on a player for next year, the rotation is one of the last places they should spend it. There are much more pressing positions of need.
