Brewers going in on one of their top prospects who hasn't played an MLB game yet.

Anyone hear the interview on 610 this morning? ****ing Frank White is completely killing this. Dude needs kicked to the curb.

Actually dude saying it sounds like he's just trying to politically assassinate some guys. He's obviously Fescoe's only source and he comes across pretty sleezy. Coming out running his mouth trying to throw everyone but himself under the bus.

From the MLB Network documentary on George Brett that airs next week.

Ooohhh sheeeit. LMAO

Brett saying exactly what Bill James said in the 1986 Baseball Abstract.

I pulled out my copy (I have all the Ballantine ones, 1982-88, followed by all the Bill James Baseball Books and Player Ratings Books from 1990-95) and re-read the EPIC essay in the Royals section for the first time in ... decades.

"The Cardinal fans did not universally accept the fact that their team had been fairly beaten, and to help them gain this acceptance, let me point out a number of facts:"

"The truth is that the Kansas City Royals kicked the holy crap out of the overmatched National League representatives. By a run of extremely good fortune in the close games, the Cardinals were able to keep the result in doubt for six games and three innings; they should be quite grateful for this."

Salary dump? Giving up Kelenic seems really ****ing dumb, especially after he showed a bit of life this year. He will only be 24 next season.

Well shit, that should get us a couple more utility players, a shitty corner OF, and at least 1-2 middle of the road relievers. Hell, throw in another "innings eater" while we are at it. This franchise ****ing sucks.

At least in the top six
