Brewers have signed Mystery Third Baseman

[liveforoctober]

Former Brewer? Easy to recognize name?

 

We are talking about Sal Bando.

 

If we are talking a Stearns guy.. high contact, etc then it is Cirillo I would think

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Casey McGehee

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Jose Bautista ... perhaps defense is optional at Colorado Springs

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Final guess - Aaron Hill

[CheezWizHed]

Jeff Cirillo!

[Fear The Chorizo]

Either Mark Reynolds or Lawrie

[JohnBriggs12]

I'll take a shot and say Conor Gillaspie or Gordon Beckham.

[Boomer5]

Anyone say Don Money yet?

[Eye Black]

I was going to pile on to these former Brewers third baseman jokes, and then I realized Casey McGehee is actually a legitimately decent guess at just 35 years old and coming off a successful season in Japan.

 

He is still listed on the team roster for the Yomiuri Giants, but doesn’t appear to have played in games this season according to their team stats.

[Montezuma]

I heard from a not so reliable source, Jim Gumby Gantner

[Ulice Payne]

I'll guess Roger Dorn.

Sub-.550 OPS in his last two MLB seasons. I doubt it's him. Hill and Lawrie are better guesses, but I hope it's Reynolds. He's perfect Braun insurance for when they inevitably have to DFA Aguilar, and he could take Perez's 3B innings as well. Good RHB complement to Shaw. I could even see him making the big club if they DFA Villar, who could have a very short leash at this point. Perez/Sogard at 2B would be adequate, with Dubon and Franklin available in case of injury.

Still quiet wonder if it's gumby

[SoCalBrewfan]

The only reasonable guess is "I don't know."

Is this some kind of weird early April Fools joke?

I loved the Sandlot video, but I swear if this is more cutesy social media crap ...

 

Or it could be Haudricourt just being his ornery self. Do you think we can trade Haudricourt and an undisclosed amount of cash to Tampa Bay for Marc Tompkin? Tompkin has regularly broken big news, and stays on top of things very well. Haudricourt is just kind of "there". He is better than Rosiak, though.

[DR28]

I really wouldnt mind Yunel... But why? Shaw isnt going anywhere.

[82brewcrew82]

Seriously ya'all. It's Easter Bunny.

[rickh150]

Casey or Brett

[Never Outhustled]

I'm hoping it's Lawrie, and I'm hoping he can get to a functional mental state. He still has serious untapped baseball potential, and is just 28 years old.

There is a cheese wedge on the top of Lawrie's Twitter page.

I mean, I guess it could be but Haudricourt doesn't seem like an April Fools kind of guy and it would be the lamest April Fools joke ever. I don't think a lot of fans are going to get too excited about guessing a 3rd baseman with MLB experience signing a minor league deal with the Brewers.

*Groan*. I wasn't a fan when I saw him play in Appleton before we traded him. Some things just aren't worth it.

So, it's not Kung Fu Panda?
