Brief Thought on Potential Braun Suspension

We still don't know anything, but assuming Braun is suspended I've been hearing a lot of people talking as if this means the Brewers' 2012 season is over. The fan projection at Fangraphs currently has Braun at 6 fWAR over 152 games, which seems reasonable. A 50 game suspension reduces that by about 2 fWAR if his fill-in is replacement level. Gomez/Schafer/Morgan/Gindl are above replacement level, so it's probably a t think the season is over...

Threesome of Brewers Prospects

Best Spot to watch opening day in Milwaukee?

I just moved back to Wisconsin after a 10 year absence and was looking for a spot to watch opening day in Milwaukee? I prefer something with a decent beer selection and don't really want the headache of the Friday's at Miller Park. Any recommendations?

Fire Doug Melvin

We need to fire Doug Melvin and find someone else, he just doesn't know how to build a pitching staff.

3rd place magic number

When will we be able to easily figure out what the Brewers Magic Number will be for locking up 3rd place? Since we that is the best we could hope for this year I thought it would be fun to have a 3rd place magic number but being the most math challenged person here I was hoping one of you math guys could make it work :) Hey Pags is it ok to put this here?

Neighborhood scouting report: Craig Counsell

From my dad: "CC was out cutting the grass this morning. I would think if I had a 2 Million set of hands and back, I would not be bouncing them on a riding mower. I used to do 2 acres at my folks house and sometimes I couldn't walk when I got off the mower. Power mowers also occasionally eat fingers and toes. I just wouldn't take that chance if I was making that kind of money and needed all my digits and a functioning spine to do so."

Reminder

The Arizona Fall League Rising Star game is on MLB Network tonight at 7 p.m.

Prince Fielder, defensive asset

Lost in the shuffle of Prince's fantastic, MVP-worthy season is the fact that UZR actually has him as slightly above average with the glove. Granted, it was only half a run, and posted a basically average season with the glove probably isn't something worth getting too worked up about, but when it comes from a guy who is widely pegged as a future DH, and has never posted better than a -8.5 UZR, I think it's well worth noting.

Wait, Kendall's batting leadoff tonight?
