Turnbow Expectations

Brewers_logo_tiny by MadJimiBrewha on

Ph_276913_medium
After coming across Turnbow's name in the SI article on Attanasio, I got to thinking what my expectations are for him in the future.




Poll
What are your expectations for Derrick Turnbow?
  • Washed Up HGH user who has seen his finest days gone (i.e. out of baseball in a few short years)
  • Chronically wild-challenged pitcher whom caught fire, but whose flame has now burned out (i.e. will toil in the minors for years trying to regain that lightning in a bottle)
  • Talented pitcher that has previously harnessed his "fire" and is only a matter of time from doing so again (i.e. only a matter of time before he figures it out and is back on the big stage)
  • alternative option explained below.

Jeremy Jeffress suspension up this Thursday

Hopefully the organization banned him from going to see the new Harold and Kumar movie.

Caught some Brewers BP before Tuesday night's game. I swear it looked like Sheets was hitting up Simmons on hitting advice the entire 45 minutes they were out there.

Parra's Workload

Brewers_logo_tiny by MadJimiBrewha on

After another stellar outing by Parra yesterday I got curious about his past workload. Here are his yearly IP according to The Baseball Cube:
2002 - 49.2
2003 - 138.2
2004 - 73.1
2005 - 91.0
2006 - 86.0
2007 - 133.0

Assuming he is past his arm problems, it is conceivable that even if he makes the team out of spring training we are not going to have a full year of him. If you use this law of 30 that everybody was referencing with Gallardo, we probably shouldn't expect more than 160-165 innings. That being the case, what is the best way to distribute those innings or do we consider him a special circumstance that isn't bound by that 30 inning rule because he is older than Gallardo?

Poll
If limited by his IP totals, how would you prefer Parra's innings be controlled?
  • ride him from the start of the season right up till he hits his limit
  • start him off in the bigs, shut him down mid-season with an allotment of innings remaining so he could be used down the stretch
  • throw IP out the window and ride him all year long
  • other
  • aaa to start the season to keep his IP down before a mid-season call up

Spring Training Tips

Brewers_logo_tiny by MadJimiBrewha on

Depending on how things lay-out, my friends and I are toying with the idea of driving down to Spring Training in Arizona the third week in March. I would appreciate if anyone could share with us any pointers, ideas, tips, or any other useful information we could use for the drive down and for our time in AZ. Anything goes, it can be local establishments you recommend to sights that should be seen, just about anything that come to mind. We plan on attending a couple games, at least one Brewer Game and one Cubs game (gotta keep the roommate happy) so feel free to recommend other teams events and set-ups that you recommend experiencing. Thanks for your input.

Yost Teaser

Brewers_logo_tiny by MadJimiBrewha on

So over on the JS Site Tom gives us a little teaser of a "candid and revealing interview" he had with Yost that will be published in Sunday's paper. It covers the events of the final week of last season including the Pujols plunking, which Tom promises to reveal new information regarding. Should be an interesting look into the mind of Ned Yost...hopefully it won't be all rainbows and leprechauns. Anyone have any speculation as to what the new information regarding the Pujols/Fielder incidents will be?
