YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a great day.
This may, in fact, be the happiest day of my Brewer fandom. (Not that there's been a lot of competition in the last few years.)
Bill Hall will be a Brewer through 2010, and probably through 2011!
What wonderful news.

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
I'll just post this blurb I found interesting at the end of the article:
With Hardy expected back from ankle surgery to play shortstop, plans are in the works to move Hall to center field.
"I think that's going to be my position for the rest of my career," said Hall. "I'm excited about it. Next to shortstop, center field has the most action. I've always liked running around and diving for balls."

well, there's a fine line

I know......
Still, a player has to have the mentality that he will do whatever it takes to make a play. I like guys who play like Aaron Rowand, not Roger Dorn.

Yes What a Great Monday
I am impressed they were able to do this without the Jenkins money being freed up.
A very good day to be a Brewer fan

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What I like best is that we have the club option for the fifth year, which we obviously will take and have him locked up for 2 of his FA years.
Just great news.

Wait
So Moustache comes in and orders a pastrami on rye, and you're giving him the hairy eyeball, thinking "oh, you rye-eating bastard."
Crazy.

very accurate
as much as i'd like to comment about business to him, i keep it positive as it helps to keep other local celebs coming in (michael redd, terry stotts, counsell was every day before he moved). normally we just small-talk some recent baseball news until another customer comes up. sometimes he'll keep talking as if nobody else is there though.

billy m-f'n hall
bill hall...what a loyal guy. if he would have tested the free agent market, he probably could have made a lot more money. just another reason why he's my favorite brewer.
for griswald...good way to start the day off (been behind so just hearing about it now).

pumped about the deal!!....
That being said, Melvin and company have always projected Weeks as a #3 hitter. It appears that Billy will patrol center for the next 5 years, so how is the crew ever going to get their "true" leadoff hitter? Left fielder? Hardy? Gross? Hart if his power never really truely arrives? What does the future look like for Gwynn, a name I'm glad is no longer being circulated as the crew's cf'er this year and years to come..

Excellent questions!
The Billy signing to a long-term deal does ask a few questions:
- Is Rickie now our leadoff guy for the next five years? Please tell me we're not going to be having him bunt for base hits. I don't think anyone else (including Hart) has the speed; then again, I don't see us sending Weeks without a high-contact guy behind him. I wonder if we'll be last in the league in SBs.
- Assuming we don't move Hall from centerfield now, what happens to the likes of TG Jr.? Even if he kicks butt in AAA, he won't have a spot on the team other than on the bench. I wonder if a good season in AAA will get him traded.
