Around SBN: Steve McNair Dead - Former NFL QB Shot and Killed


Gabe Kapler is a Ray

Another year, another free agent outfielder who would rather play alongside Pat Burrell than Corey Hart. Coincidence?

Another year, another Gabe leaves the Brewers to join the Rays. Coincidence?

Nice deal for only $1 mil, apparently

Scored three times and detonated an indisputable in four visits to the batting box.

Glad he was a Brewer

My favorite post here included the picture of Kapler’s wife

Good luck to him… helped the team a lot last year

The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.

"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"

Best of luck to Mr. Kapler

Too bad he’s not going to be rejoining the Crew.

To bad he

wasn’t left handed…would have loved to have him back with the Crew. Best of luck to him.

I am glad to see him go

Not because of any animosity or because he didn’t do a fine job last year, but rather because I believe he was tempting fate with the year he had last year. The way he came out of nowhere after what…6 or 7 putrid years made me nervous that the roof was going to cave in on him at any moment. We got a big year out of him, and that is enough for me.

The OF depth still needs to be addressed however.

Outfield Depth??

There will always be the savior of Tony Gwynn Jr….

Depth will come from young guys, Iribarren, TG, Bourgeois and/or Nixon or maybe a pinch of Thorman or a dash of Duffy.

That is what I am afraid of....

Aside from typical needs off the bench, you can’t presume that our 3 regulars are going to remain as healthy as they were this past year. Guys are going to miss games and I would obviously like better options.

I think someone will emerge

just as Kapler turned out to be MUCH better than expected.

Aww man

No more Kapler? It’s a good thing Braun can’t leave so I at least have a little eye candy :)
