... expensive quickly. When they were trying to contend, they signed a number of players ( Jeff Suppan in particular) to contracts that now would be mildly annoying to a team like the Mets or the Cubs , but are a big problem for the Brewers. Several of their core players ( J.J. Hardy , Bill Hall , Corey Hart ) stalled after putting in a couple of good seasons, and now Milwaukee is pondering...

The Rattlers just announced changes to their stadium that include an all-you-can-eat section, moving the bullpens to the outfield, a "boardwalk" that circles most of the park and a sandy beach area in the outfield.

... We’ve been giving him guff that any player he promotes leaves the team. We’re thinking of buying a Suppan shirt for him for Christmas. The Brewers are reportedly interested in ANYTHING THAT PITCHES. The following list are starting pitchers that have been named in rumors that the Brewers have interest in: Carl Pavano, Jarrod Washburn, John Lackey, Mark Mulder, Edwin Jackson, Randy Wolf, John...

PHOENIX The first thing everyone notices about Stephen Strasburg is the fastball. Really, it's not even fair to call it a simple fastball, as though it were some 92 mph four-seamer coming out of the hand of Joe Blanton or Jeff Suppan. No, this is a high-and-tight heater that regularly reaches triple digits, yet emerges from Strasburg's right arm so effortlessly that batters don't realize its...

... did the right thing in declining Looper's option, however argues that unless the Brewers dump Jeff Suppan , the Brewers will still suck at pitching. Along the same lines, Rob Neyer snips TH, and rips Looper , and wonders why Melvin just can't DFA Bush, Parra and Suppan. ( TH story ) FireDougMelvin.com reminds us, that while we put new Hefty bags on the windows on our double-wide by...

... what we can do with $7 million to the rotation. Right now, the Brewers have Yovani Gallardo , Jeff Suppan , Dave Bush, Manny Parra and Chris Narveson in their rotation. Talk about underwhelming. The Brew Crew needs a No. 2 and 3 if they hope to make the playoffs. While it's probably not feasible to do just that, let's give it a shot. Wild idea: Mat Gamel to the Detroit Tigers for Edwin Jackson...

... likely get this winter. That’s not only because he’s a younger, better-hitting version of Jeff Suppan or Steve Trachsel — essentially, a .500 pitcher whose main value is the ability to take the ball 32 times a year. It’s also because there’s something fishy about his aggressiveness in lobbying the Mets. Sure, he needs them to make an outlandish offer — and they will, once they miss out on...

... be +15 or so in right, so it would come close to evening out. 3. Outfield defense is important. Suppan is a fly ball pitcher. Looper is a fly ball pitcher. (Though most of his fly balls are out of reach.) If we sign Washburn, there's another one. If we're shopping for mid-rotation guys, fly ball pitchers aren't necessarily bad--IF we have an elite defensive outfield. It would make Doug Melvin's...

... Duke and Braden Looper and his 1.25 K/BB rate was second worst in the league to only gasp Jeff Suppan. Not impressive company if we’re talking fantasy baseball (and we are). The truth is, unlike Brett Anderson, Cahill could never consistently find the strike-zone. His 2009 pitches per inning average about 17. That should be just above league average. For a point of reference Scott Kazmir,...

This could be one of my all time favorite MLBTR posts. Tim Dierkes scoured all of baseball's contracts and cribbed together the worst of the worst , the contracts any GM would love to get rid of. Happily, only Jeff Suppan (1 year, $14.5 million) is listed under the Brewers , though there are some other familiar names, including CoCo (2 years, $25 million) and Scott Linebrink (2 years, $10.5...
