This Year vs. Last Year

I don't post often (because I don't know much), but I thought it would be fun to share my quick-hit thoughts on this year's Brewer team vs. last year's team.

Prince Fielder
Last Year: Man, I hope we can sign this guy up long-term.
This Year: It will be fun to watch this guy play until he leaves for big bucks.

Ryan Braun
Last Year: It will be fun to watch this guy play until he leaves for big bucks.
This Year: I'm so glad we signed this guy long-term.

Corey Hart
Last Year: Maybe we should lock this guy up for years to come.
This Year: Maybe we should lock this guy up in the clubhouse until he agrees to take a freaking pitch every now and then.

Yovani Gallardo
Last Year: I hope this guy has what it takes to become an ace this year.
This Year: I hope this guy has what it takes to become an ace this year.

JJ Hardy
Last Year: His hot start last year was a fluke; he's not that good.
This Year: His cold start last year was a fluke; he's pretty freaking good.

Closer
Last Year: Gagne may be in the steep downward arc of his career, but maybe he can put up some pretty solid numbers.
This Year: Hoffman may be in the steep downward arc of his career, but maybe he can put up some pretty solid numbers.

Rickie Weeks
Last Year: This might be his breakout year.
This Year: Well, we could definitely do worse.

Dave Bush
Last Year: He had terrible luck last year; he'll be alright this year.
This Year: He had incredible luck last year; he won't be as good this year.

Ned Yost
Last Year: Should be history
This Year: Is history

Cubs
Last Year: Suck
This Year: Suck

Those really are good

perceptually and expressed well. The only one I’d quibble with is Hoffman. I wouldn’t say he’s on a steep downward arc.

Good stuff

I like Hart’s the best.

Excellent

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

Nice

If I may, Ben Sheets:
Last year: Let’s hope he finally stays healthy, has a good year, and we’ll see what happens in the off season. At worst we get two draft picks.
This year: CRAP!
