I saw that coming...I knew that he was talking about two different things but that wasn't really the point.
In the beginnin of May, Hunt said, forget that guy we don't need him.  Today he says, this is guy is great.  
That is ridiculous. The May 3 articl was uninformed and wrong.  He tried to cover it his ass with the..if we would have kept on going like we did we wouldn't have needed him.  
He threw Braun under the bus, came back a month and a half later said sorry, I didn't mean it.  Just some stupid homer/company line bs.  That is what has gotten me all fired up.  

It's true, the two quotes are apples and oranges, but I think Kocchatollah has a point.  In May, Braun wasn't good enough to beat out two light-hitting journeymen at third base because his defense was just that atrocious.  In June, suddenly, he's an all-star.  

Now, admittedly, I'm too lazy to look up the original quotes and put them into context, and I really don't disagree with having Braun start the season in AAA (last year, his defense was so bad that there was talk of moving him to left).  Still...c'mon.  That Counsellino would give us one of the least productive third basemen in the league was pretty predictable even then.  Are you telling me that the beat writer for the J-S couldn't see this coming in May, that Counsellino (who don't even form a Menchkins-like platoon, in that their L/R splits are equally mediocre) wasn't an acceptable option for the whole year?  

In May, he could say that Counsellino is keeping 3rd base warm while Braun gets a few more games under his defensive belt; instead he implied (and affirmed in the later article) that Braun spending the whole year in Nashville was a good idea.  No one except Craig Counsell's mother could think that.  That's some pretty lame analysis there.

Still (in all), I really don't expect someone in Michael Hunt's position to stir up much dust in his articles.  If your job is to cover the Brewers, you're not going to be overly critical of any move they make, lest you get on Moustache's bad side.  The Brewers send Braun to AAA to start Counsellino?  You say that Counsellino is an acceptable option at third, and that even though they'll make an out three-quarters of the time, they'll be veteran, productive outs.  (Or that Graffanino "made a nice defensive play to his right.")  They start Braun at third?  You say that Braun has paid his dues and it's a good sign that the Brewers are offensively sound that they can start a highly touted but unproven rookie at third base.  The Brewers could start Ike Turner at third, and he'd say, well, at least no runner is going to make it from second to third unchallenged.

It's the nature of the beast.  You want hard-hitting analysis, best to stay away from the newspapers and stick to the blogs.

one of Hunt's spring notes articles where he said something to the effect that Braun is still has a lot of maturing to do.  I was trying to search for it on the MJS site; with no luck.

By the way, Braun has looked pretty good defensively; great play last night by the foul line where the grass meets the infield.

Has he ever broken a story?  He just seems to repeat the basic drivel. Has anyone in the Milwaukee sports media ever gotten a scoop on anything or even cared to try and get it published?
I don't what he is paid for.  
The Milwakee media is terrible as a whole.  I'm glad I moved to AZ where were sports media icons like Kevin Hunt hit me with the hard hitting sports coverage I need.  

When I turned on the TV and Kevin Hunt was on I almost bought a plane ticket back so I wouldn't have to live with him again.
