I may have already asked or mentioned this, but doesn't that seem like we got a great deal on Lucroy? It seems like a guy like him would have commanded more cash.

Well, somebody was arguing that point on draft day (I don't remember who, so don't you moderators accuse me of baiting http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif ), but I never saw the reasoning behind that argument...you'll see that Lucroy got slot money as did most of our picks.

based on what is available on the net, aren't these $$$ right about the slot $$$ throughout? These players might of demanded more, however, it seems to me that the Brewers gave out honest $$$.

When will LaPorta begin playing games for us? I've been watching the link reports, and he still hasn't played a game yet, to my knowledge.

 

I really want to see what this guy can do and I really want to see him push his ways through the minors and add yet another impact bat to our offense.

[uwisfan]

since he's injured, I'm certain there will be a big announcement before his first game.

[strawbossisevil]

Hmm, I must have missed some news about him. What is his injury? Anything significant that we should be worried about?

[uwisfan]

sounded insignificant and i think it was known before the draft
