Looking back at Community Projections: Catchers

03 Nov 2009 09:32:33 PST

Written 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.

What should the Brewers do with Manny Parra?

30 Sep 2009 12:31:09 PDT

Written 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...

Brewers games: better at home or at Miller Park?

12 Aug 2009 23:51:00 PDT

I've been wondering if I actually enjoy watching the Brewers on TV or listening to them on the radio more than I do seeing them in person. For some reason, I've had a really hard time lately concentrating on the action when I'm at Miller Park, and maybe it's because I'm so distracted.

04 Nov 2008 10:17:35 PST

Written by Ken Rosenthal
The losses of Fielder and free-agent pitchers CC Sabathia and right-hander Ben Sheets in one offseason would be too damaging from a public-relations standpoint, particularly when the Brewers are coming off their first postseason appearance in 26 years.
