Beer Makers to Get A Ram

They may not suck as much as we had hoped.

They also added former Giants 1B Travis Ishikawa.

i’m not bothered by this in fact rather encouraged. Fielder is gonzo. A Ram put up 3.6 WAR last year which is good yeah but not like holy crap good. He’s getting older, he’s getting fatter, and he’s regressing. Carlos Lee style in year 3 of this contract.

This is a deal i’d be FURIOUS if the Pirates made for example

I agree

This is he kind of move I do hope the Pirates can make when they get closer. I think maybe the Brew Crew may look at moving McGehee to 1B

Yep

this just ties up money. The only down-side I can see from a Pirates perspective is if the Brewers suck this year and then trade him at the deadline to help them replenish that awful farm system.

Good move by Milwaukee,

but the Braun controversy will be tough to overcome. I see a dropoff in production for Braun as well in 2012., and that wil hurt, since Fielder may be gone.

The 2012 NL Central winner may only have 88 wins.
