After reading this captivating interview, I have decided to forgo the nickname McClunk. Really a great read. Seth seems like a great guy to have in the bullpen over a 6 month span that can get grueling for anyone. Perhaps the most interesting piece stems from his comments, or perhaps more accurately, omissions about Ken Macha. Apparently, the two were just short of feuding. Hopefully, this is something that doesn't happen with other players. Macha, who I feel like is a good enough manager, isn't good enough to continue to keep around if he will do nothing but be-riddle and ultimately upset players.

List of Non-Roster Invitees
http://monozygotic.wordpress.com/2010/02/08/2010-consolidated-list-of-non-roster-invitees/
This is what happens when you finish last in the National League in pitching, you sign 6 trillion pitchers and hope 3 of them stick. I like the strategy. Which name do you like the best?
Milwaukee Brewers
Pitchers B/T Ht Wt DOB
67 Eric Arnett R/R 6-5 230 01/25/88
70 Zach Braddock L/L 6-4 230 08/23/87
39 Chris Capuano L/L 6-2 225 08/19/78
48 Tim Dillard R/R 6-4 225 07/19/83
50 John Halama L/L 6-5 215 02/22/72
68 Kyle Heckathorn R/R 6-6 240 06/17/88
73 Kameron Loe R/R 6-7 240 09/10/81
76 A.J. Murray S/L 6-3 220 03/17/82
77 Scott Schoeneweis L/L 6-0 190 10/02/73
52 Chris Smith R/R 6-2 200 04/09/81
Catchers B/T Ht Wt DOB
87 Jonathan Lucroy R/R 6-0 185 06/13/86
79 Martin Maldonado R/R 6-1 210 08/16/86
20 Matt Treanor R/R 6-0 210 03/03/76
Outfielders B/T Ht Wt DOB
15 Jim Edmonds L/L 6-1 210 06/27/70
65 Trent Oeltjen L/L 6-1 190 02/28/83
66 Logan Schafer L/L 6-1 180 09/08/86
63 Adam Stern L/R 5-11 185 02/12/80
I think that Jim Edmonds easily has the best chance to play in Milwaukee this year. Maybe Lucroy and Capuano if he can recover. Man do I miss Cappy. Such a good, tough pitcher. Was always in Sheets' shadow, and never got to pitch for this team in a playoff push. Best of luck to him

Brewers sign some Dominicans
http://brewersbeat.mlblogs.com/archives/2010/02/brewers_ink_dominican_trio.html
I honestly have no idea about these guys from a players perspective, but it is nice to see the Brewers delve into the international market. Perhaps even venture to Europe or Africa? I feel like the talent in the Caribbean is covered very well by the big market teams, and I would say that about 70% of the globe is relatively untouched by professional scouts.

Great Packers' seasons recap
If you can get through all the trash, this guy is doing a fantastic recap of the history of the Green Bay Packers starting with the modern era in 1959. Check it out:

Brian Butch wins D-League All-Star game MVP
Brian Butch was a disappointment, and then a charm for Badgers' fan during his time in Madison. As a local McDonald's All-American, a lot was expected of him early on, and quite frankly, too much. But as his time in Wisconsin continued, he drastically improved and became a valued contributor. Congratulations to Brian, as he will likely find himself on at least one NBA roster before his time is up. How can anyone forget his buzzer-beating, banked in three at Indiana?
Brewers resign Chase Wright
http://twitter.com/jonmorosi/status/8865346105
Brewers retained some nice pitching depth. Although Chase of one of those pitchers that you hope will never have to make an appearance in Milwaukee, he has to be better than Ben Hendrickson, right?

Marquette wins 5th straight vs. South Florida
Sloppy game by both teams quite frankly, but this was a game that was important for Marquette's tournament hopes. Can the undefeated month continue? Darius Johnson-Odom played fantastic defense on star South Florida guard Dominique,no not Dominic James, Jones. Lazar Haywood played another strong game, with 18 points and a key 14 rebounds. Overall, Marquette was brutally out-rebounded, but hit key open threes down the stretch to pull out the much-needed victory. On to Pittsburgh.
Badgers destroy Loosiers
Indiana is horrible. Tom Crean is overrated. Wisconsin was at home, and was coming off a bad loss. Not much to say. Bohannon was lights out, and probably wasted a white-hot game against the hapless Hoosiers.
Q & A with Bruce Seid
After Jack Zduriencik left for greener pastures in Seattle, he was the Brewers' Scouting director. Bruce Seid has a lot to live up to, especially with a lot of Jack Z's former players, i.e. Prince Fielder, Yovani Gallardo, and Rickie Weeks, are essentially graduating from the Brewers and slowly but surely getting close to free agency. Seid will be a pivotal member of the Brewers franchise in the coming years, and whose drafts will be required to keep the Crew in contention.
Karl never ceases to amaze me
javascript:newwind('http://www.denverpost.com/sports/ci_14390139','156')
George Karl says that his contract extension is important to the team. Really, George? I feel like a certain someone benefits a lot more than your team. I have a sneaking suspicion that a certain obese old man benefits a lot more than they do.

Lopez fires Boras
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4910475
Felipe Lopez played well after coming over from the Diamondbacks last season for Cole Gillespie and Roque Mercedes, but because of his agent and his career season seemed destined to start the season in another uniform. Now, Lopez still finds himself without a job, and Boras is probably to blame for that. Obviously Matt Holiday was higher on the pecking order than Felipe, and he paid, or should I say wasn't paid, for it. That's what happens when you are greedy, sometimes you get burned.

Brewers sign, another, lefty reliever
http://twitter.com/AdamMcCalvy/status/8868176634
Scott Schoeneweis is a decent lefty reliever to back up the dominant Mitch Stetter for the prominent LOOGY in the Brewers 2010 bullpen. Was horrible last year, but his wife's death certainly couldn't have helped that at all. Was on the Mitchell Report, but I think we can safely assume he's off the stuff, HGH.

An old friend gets a job

Before I became aware of sabermetrics, I remember Jamey Wright’s breakout season in 2000 and subsequent Opening Day start for the Brewers. Although he never had a season approaching 2000, he was a nice guy, but a wild pitcher.

Bucks want Mo Evans? For Kurt Thomas?
javascript:newwind('http://my.journaltimes.com/post/woelfel-world-of-sports/bucks_trade_talks_heat_up.html','107')
This trade makes no sense. Evans is 30, and can't shoot worth anything. Just another perimeter defender, but the Bucks have two such players, Luc Mbah a Moute and to a lesser extent Charlie Bell. Kurt Thomas has some value to a contender, I should hope more than that. Hogwash I say, Hogwash.

Karl gets his money, but . .

A one year contract extension? Someone is greedy. Is it Karl? The owner of the Nuggets. $4.5 million is a lot of money, but the one year shocks me. I guess that we will find out when the Nuggets implode. Perhaps the Nuggets owner knows this, in which case he is smarter than he is given credit for.

Knicks very interested in Ridnour

Well guess what New York, your team is terrible, and there are no matches between the up and coming Bucks and the We want but won't get LeBron Knicks.

Haskell rejoins Holmgren
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/02/10/haskell-rejoins-holmgren/
Gil Haskell coached running backs from 1992 through 1994 and receivers from 1995 through 1997 in Green Bay, where Holmgren became head coach in 1992. Just amazing that Holmmy just keeps rehiring his own buddies. With their be any disagreements on that entire team? I'm not familiar with how Holmgren built the Packers, but if he is simply following the same model, he is in for a wake-up call. The NFL is different, and a franchise QB named Brett most likely won't fall into your lap again, unless of course they choose Jimmy Clausen #7 overall.

McGowan could be traded. I’ll take him.
http://toronto.bluejays.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20100205&content_id=8026924
The Toronto Blue Jays have a ton of starts in camp this season, and they have some talent. Should/When the Blue Jays fall out of contention, McGowan would be on my list of players to acquire at the deadline, if not sooner.

Former Packers WR coach coming back to the NFL?
http://www.stltoday.com/blogzone/around-the-horns/around-the-horns/2010/02/cromwell-among-rams-wr-coach-candidates/
The Green Bay Packers' special teams coach from their incredible Super Bowl run is interested in the Rams Wide Receivers' job. Question, why don't you become our special teams' coach again? We need all the help we can get in that department, but then again, the Rams need help, lots of it.

Blue Jays acquire Dana Eveland
http://twitter.com/MLBastian/status/8744729040
Another former Brewer signed recently, this time Dana Eveland. A mountain of a man, Dana will sign to compete for a spot in the Blue Jays rotation. Overall, a good signing for the Jays, no risk, and they won't be competing in the AL East for the next couple of years. At least Dana can probably become a serviceable lefty out of the pen.
