Brewers wanted a pitcher or a CF. Twins didn't want to trade a pitcher. Brewers wanted Gomez. J.J. whined, okay that wasn't in the article but it almost certainly happened.

Hardy just comfirms what we already knew

J.J. Hardy was a good shortstop for the Brewers. But he was a whiner. He whined about hitting in front of the pitcher, he whined about being demoted for hitting .219. He's whining some more to the Minnesota press. His latest installment? He's complaining that he didn't get enough off days. Better yet, he had too much pride to ask for a rest. If only we were all as good of a person as you are J.J.

Two former Brewers platooning?

Potentially Russel Branyan and Matt LaPorta, yes that Matt LaPorta, could see themselves in a platoon with one another. An interesting thought for Brewers' fans, as LaPorta was the dynamic prospect that was involved in the CC Sabathia trade, while Branyan played a big role on the 2008 team in his platoon with Bill Hall at 3B, including his memorable shot in the bottom of the 9th against Joe Nathan and the Twins to send the game into extras. A far cry from last season for Branyan, as he had a huge first half before finishing with 30+ HR in his first real shot at full-time ABs for Jack Z's Mariners.

Horrible Hardy pouting, I mean, putting last season behind him

J.J. Hardy was horrible last season for the Brewers. There is no way around that, even his mother would have to agree. What’s worse is how he handled it last year, being so carefree and basically whining every chance he could. The man didn’t want to hit in front of the pitcher even though he hit like a pitcher. He had to hit #2 so he could get those juicy fastballs hitting in front of the best 1-2 punch in baseball. Hardy, your tired act ran dry in Milwaukee, and we are glad your weak mental state in across the border in the Twin Cities. In Escobar we trust.
