Non-tender deadline in just about 5 hours

by roguejim on Dec 12, 2009 6:02 PM CST

And still no word on the fate of Dave Bush, Jody Gerut, et al. I wonder if the front office is waiting to see who else is non-tendered --- what the free agent replacements might be if they non-tender their own players. Jonny Gomes and Ryan Church have already been made available --- would they have any impact on the decision to keep Jody Gerut or Corey Hart?

Here's the list, per Adam McC:

That list is made up of starter Dave Bush ($4 million salary last season), relievers Todd Coffey ($800,002), Seth McClung ($1.6625 million) and Carlos Villanueva ($447,000), outfielders Jody Gerut ($1.775 million), Carlos Gomez ($437,500) and Corey Hart ($3.25 million) and catcher Mike Rivera ($415,000).

Call this your non-tender open thread.

Tom H tweets re non-tendered Brewers

McClung, DiFelice, and Rivera. we already knew about one, figured the other…

(working on the weekend Mug now, I am, so I’ll try to get all the info I can off the interwebs before I go zzzz)

I wonder if that means those are the only Brewers non-tendered, or just the ones they’ve announced so far.

the only ones

followup tweet clarifies that.

Rivera? Really?

Guess that means they’re planning on Lucroy making the roster

No

Kottaras.

at least i hope...

don’t want lucroy on the bench all year

I'd guess

they’ll let him catch in AAA with the hope of being the everyday guy in 2011.

Then again, I thought they’d offer arb to Felipe Lopez.

I suppose it wouldn’t make much sense given the Brewers already have Hart/Gerut as options, but I’d like to see Ryan Church on the team. Great defense in RF and good offense if he gets a chance to play everyday.

Ryan Braun: He loves it.

Or Jonny Gomes, maybe.

If the Brewers could move Hart for something decent, I think it would be interesting to see a platoon with Gerut and Gomes (who’s pretty good vs. LHP).

But I do like the idea of Church. He made $2.8mil last year, which means that $3mm could land him. This would be a over $1mil in savings over heart, and maybe even more if they non-tender Gerut, too.

*over HART, not heart (they could probably do your bar mitzvah for like $5k)

He can still be traded...

I’d love to see Hart for Maine followed by signing Kelly Johnson or Ryan Church.

E: George 4 (5, throw, throw, throw, throw).

by Jordan M on Dec 12, 2009 8:44 PM CST up reply actions

Agree on Johnson

Wonder what the prospects would be for him to play RF. Sounds like the Cardinals are honing in on him right away.

by backtocali on Dec 12, 2009 9:15 PM CST up reply actions

I've always loved Johnson

but at this point you really can’t expect an OPS of much better than the .760 that Church would be sure to provide, and Church can play above average D, too.

Well above average D, if you take his very impressive 14.2 career UZR/150 in RF seriously (210 games, 175 defensive games). And he can actually hit!

Ryan Braun: He loves it.
