Milwaukee Brewers

By KLSnow Between the Brewers and D-Backs last year, Lopez posted a .383 OBP. Only fourteen players in Brewer history have done better while getting enough plate appearances to qualify for the batting title. How many can you name in five minutes?

By KLSnow On this day in 1971, the Brewers acquired Jim Colborn, Brock Davis and Earl Stephenson from the Cubs for Jose Cardenal. Colborn won 20 games for the Brewers in 1973, pitching 22 complete games and logging 314.1 innings. He's the only Brewer ever to pass 300 IP.

By KLSnow After reading today's news, I'm sure you're itching to run down to Miller Park and give the Brewers more of your money, right? Well, you're in luck: the Clubhouse Sale is this weekend, giving you the opportunity to check out some discounted Brewer items and game-used memorabilia. You prob...

By KLSnow Kevin Millwood: 2010 Brewer? Where does Prince Fielder's 2009 season rate among the best in Brewer history? In-Between Hops has it at #4, behind Robin Yount's 1982, Paul Molitor's 1987 and Rollie Fingers' 2001. Notably absent from the top ten: Ryan Braun's 2009.

By KLSnow Kevin Correia: 2010 Brewer? Speaking of Brewer charities, a while back I mentioned the Brewer Wives' 2010 Pet Calendar, but we weren't sure if it would be available online. It is, as it turns out, so you can help support the Wisconsin Humane Society, even if you can't make it to Milwaukee.

By KLSnow Ryan Braun played in 158 games last season. Can you name the ten Brewers who have played in 160 or more? Actually, players who don't take days off are today's featured topic. Ten players have appeared in at least 160 games in a season as a Brewer. How many can you name in five minutes?

By KLSnow Adam McCalvy has two more names for you to consider as the Brewers head into hot stove season: Justin Duchscherer and Kevin Correia.

By KLSnow Brewers claim George Kottaras off waivers from Boston Via Anthony Witrado: The Brewers also claimed catcher George Kottaras off waivers from the Boston Red Sox. Kottaras, 26, batted .237 with one homer and 10 RBI in 45 games with the Red Sox last season. The 40-man roster stands at 36.

By TheJay As noted in my FanPost of Sunday night, the deadline for filing major league and minor league reserve lists is fast approaching.  Eligible players not added to the major league 40-man roster by November 20 can be selected in the Rule 5 draft.

By KLSnow by Al Behrman - AP Some things to read while Doug Melvin works the phones. On this day in 1997, the Brewers traded lefty reliever Mike Myers to the Rockies for Curtis Leskanic. The deal worked out pretty well for the Crew: Leskanic posted a 3.01 ERA in 169 games as a Brewer.

By Jordan M The stuff he has shown indicates that with health and time he easily has the upside of a high-quality major league starter. It's going to be a while, but he'll probably start next year with a cautious schedule in AA and the Brewers will have to see how things go from there.

By KLSnow Ryan Braun became just the third Brewer ever and the first since Paul Molitor in the 80s to take home back-to-back Silver Slugger Awards.

By KLSnow On this day in 2007, Ryan Braun was named the NL Rookie of the Year. Braun has posted a .937 OPS in his first three major league seasons: Among players with at least 1500 PAs as a Brewer only Braun, Prince Fielder (.931) and Richie Sexson (.902) are over .900.

By KLSnow Speaking of oft-injured pitchers who could get a phone call from Doug Melvin, FanHuddle thinks the Brewers could sign Brad Penny. And, of course, as the Brewers look to spend their free agent dollars this offseason, one massive mistake overshadows all other deals: Jorge Says No! has a loo...

By KLSnow How about a game thread for a Brewer replay? FS Wisconsin is replaying the September 6 Brewers-Giants game tonight. If you've forgotten the game, I won't spoil it for you, but be on the lookout for multiples of three and shock waves.

By KLSnow Before the season we were pretty optimistic about Bill Hall, with six of the nine projectors giving him an OPS of .780 or above. Instead, he played his way off the team and got to the point where the Brewers ate most of his salary and traded him to Seattle for a low level pitching prospect.

By Lange Here are Five Predictions for the Brewers in this Hot Stove League. The Free Agent Rankings are out, and the Brewers have five Type B players, Bernie's Crew has a good Breakdown. Craig Counsell and David Weathers have officially filed for free agency.

By roguejim Before I head out to the airport to meet Zach Grienke, I thought I'd pass along some Brewers professional sportswritery talk from Bob Wolfley, brought to you by the employers of Tom Haudricourt and Tony Witrado.  (Ahh, read it anyway.) There are some interesting nuggets, such as:

By YearofRottino Brewers Miller Park Drunk is my favorite Brewers blog. It doesn't always write about the Brewers, but it's hilarious and has balls. Some math thing about Warren Spahn that I didn't read. Not a Brewer, but a former Milwaukee player. Other Could the M's be in on Ben Sheets?

By KLSnow I'd say this is pretty self-explanatory. While all of us expected Fielder to play close to full time, none of us expected him to take every plate appearance by a Brewer first baseman this season. Brad Nelson was off the roster early, Mike Lamb didn't even make the team out of spring training an...

By DWalsh Over at MLB Trade Rumors they look at the Center Fielder trade market. It's the biggest non-pitching question mark that the Brewers have besides catcher this offseason. The general consensus is that Mike Cameron is gone and the Brewers are going to give Jody Gerut a shot at the CF position un...

By KLSnow It looks like most of us expected the Brewers to try out some other options at catcher this season. Both Kendall and Mike Rivera gained playing time over our expectations, mainly at the expense of Angel Salome, who some of us projected to play as much as 40% of the time.

By KLSnow Meanwhile, Milwaukee may not be the first choice for Wisconsin native Jarrod Washburn, who told a reporter he'd like to return to Seattle. Hopefully the front office won't overspend to convince him otherwise. On this day in 1981, Rollie Fingers was awarded the AL Cy Young and a year later, P...

By KLSnow On this day in 1974, the Brewers acquired Hank Aaron from Atlanta for outfielder Dave May and minor league pitcher Roger Alexander. Aaron would go on to hit .232/.326/.360 in his final two seasons as a Brewer, make the 1975 All Star team and hit 22 home runs.

By roguejim Item 1: Would-be free-agent Freddy Sanchez re-signs with the Giants (2 years/$12 million).  There are only a handful of productive second-basemen on the FA market, so it's a big deal when a 3-time all-star signs early.  Of the FA 2Bs left out there, none of them is appreciably better than th...

By KLSnow Up for more MVP talk? Quevedo at the Buffet has Prince Fielder second and Ryan Braun ninth on their MVP ballot. Happy birthday to two long time Brewers born on the same day: 1982 AL Cy Young Award winner Pete Vuckovich and four time 12-game winner Bill Travers. Both turn 57 today.

By KLSnow More photos » by Al Behrman - AP Keith Law says the Brewers spent too much on Trevor Hoffman. We won't know the actual results until sometime after the World Series, but Baseball Digest Daily had Prince Fielder third in their balloting for NL MVP, and Braun fifth.

By KLSnow Former Brewers manager Ned Yost looks great with someone else's logo behind him. On this day in 1982, the Brewers scored six runs in the seventh inning en route to a 7-5 victory over the Cardinals, evening the World Series at two games apiece.

By KLSnow If Doug Melvin meant what he said about making a serious splash in the pitching market this winter, this might be a trade possibility: The Braves are reportedly looking to deal Derek Lowe, just one season after signing him to a four year, $60 million deal. The Braves would likely have to take...

By KLSnow Jeff Suppan started today's game and went just two innings, allowing one run on two hits, but Chris Narveson picked things up from there, allowing just one additional run over 4.1 innings of work, giving the Brewers an opportunity to run out to a 6-1 lead. With Hoffman already having pitched...

By KLSnow MVP: Ryan Braun (+.273) LVP: Braden Looper (-.271) Ryan Braun went 2-for-5 in the game, picking up hits #198 and 199 on the season. Felipe Lopez, Alcides Escobar, Craig Counsell and Jody Gerut all also had multiple hits. Prince Fielder went 0-for-2 but walked three times.

By KLSnow Nearly every projection for the 2010 Brewer roster includes Parra in the rotation, and certainly, if he can bounce back from a rough season, he would be one reason to predict a major improvement over 2009. The problem is, Manny Parra hasn't just had a bad season, he's had a historically bad s...

By KLSnow At the plate, Alcides Escobar picked up his first major league triple, and Frank Catalanotto (who briefly played second base) also tripled in the ninth, but the Brewers managed just six other hits, with no Brewer collecting more than one.

By Jordan M The answer to the question? It is zero. Every time a batter has decided to swing at a Jeff Suppan fastball, they have made contact with it. Even batters who played for the Giants. Batters have swung and missed 8 Jeff Suppan pitches this year-- a curveball, 3 sliders, and 4 changeups.

By KLSnow But, with Sabathia having been acquired by trading a first round pick, and Fielder, Braun, Weeks and Ben Sheets all having been #1's as well, the Brewers are getting more performance out of their first rounders than all but one team in playoff contention.

By Jeff Sackmann Long story short, we're looking at two great starting rotations.  It's no surprise that these teams have the two best records in the National League, and are among the top five in baseball.  Looking solely at simple peripherals, the Brewers guys may have the edge, and as I mentioned, anothe...
