Yeah probably DL for Berkman. Might as well for now.

Wong reminds me a little of Jose Vidro. Gets the 'pro's pro' label quite a bit. Sound, compact, level swing with good gap power. Looks like he should be a plus defender (good range, not elite; same with his arm - makes up for it with quick hands).

At his best he should be a guy that gets talked about as a GG contender, but probably won't win one. Maybe a .310-.320 with 15 HRs and maybe 20 stolen bases.

Think of him as being a slightly more consistent version of Jon Jay as a hitter with a Tommy Herr style glove. Or hell, just call him Tommy Herr with more power.

He should be a fast riser; I'd expect him to man the pivot by the end of the 2014 season at the latest; perhaps even by mid 2013 if Descalso's bat doesn't come around and Wong hits his way into the picture in AAA.

That sounds good.


We need to do something up the middle. Furcal ain't getting any younger, and while I like Descalso, I think he's ultimately a utility guy.

On a positive note, **** this team can hit.

This years team is head and shoulders better than it was a year ago at this time. The intire lineup can hit, the bullpen is an actual strength and the starting pitching has been very good.


Waino gets the ball tomorrow and will shut down the reds again and then the Pirates and cubs. This team could have a 7 - 10 game lead in the NL Central in another week.

Milwaukee isn't going anywhere.

Another win.


Lynn threw the ball well. Again.


Although some tough news, Berkmann had to go onto the DL. Hopefully its just a 15 dayer.


We need Craig to get healthy soon.

Hard to believe that Wainwright has been tagged with three of our four losses. I'm sure he'll come around, though.

It would also be nice if he could get a little run support.

Its a process.

Small sample size but his peripherals look fine, either way you have to assume that that HR rate is unsustainable because its not like he's Ryan Franklin throwing BP fastballs to these guys.

The facts are most pitchers take 19 months to get back to normal. He still has 6 months to go.

You need to ease up on Holliday. He's not going anywhere. We are wed together, for better or worse.

Holliday is what he is, he will end up hitting a non-clutch .300/20/102.

He's A-Rod lite, minus the douche personality.
