this was bound to happen; let's just hope he doesn't kill us...

[ELCABALLO45]

Yeah, he has been awesome this year for Milwaukee.

 

He has like a 23 LD%. He hits everything hard it feels like. He has really picked up the slack when Rickie went down. I hope he can keep this up. (Obviously he won't hit .340)

[JonJayCutler]

We should let them have Aaron Miles and watch him OPS .950 :D

[SouthSideRyan]

It's a fluke. He's a terrible baseball player.

[Outshined_One]

Brewers pixie dust, amirite?

And your favorite terrible baseball player, mirite?

[17 Seconds]

just hit a grand slam for the crew. OPS now at .964 through 110 ab. GTFO

[Clem Fandango]

Ryan Braun must've turned him on to Affliction clothing. Those clothes increase your confidence and d-bagitude by 110%

[BCVM22]

Adds an RBI double to deep center. :-s

By the way, topics like Casey McGehee often annoy the heck out of me.

 

A guy goes through a really nice stretch, and people start getting all hot and bothered (not here, just in general). See me two months from this date. If Casey is still doing this after scouting reports began to circulate, after he goes through a bit of a slump, after he gets a bit tired, etc., then I will give him credit for having a better single season that I ever would have predicted or imagined possible.

 

But I had to listen to a lot of Brewers fans act like Jason Kendall had found the fountain of batting youth early last season, only to tell them to sit back and wait while I had to be annoyed listening and waiting until it happened. And it happened. Same thing will happen to McGehee.

Yep, happened to Kendall so it must happen to McGehee.

I guess he didn't use good logic, but Casey McGehee is still awful.

The Kendall example was just that: An example of how people get all hot and bothered over a hot streak instead of realizing the type of player that is currently hot and why they likely won't keep it up.

 

Just because Kendall did it doesn't mean Casey will. Of course. But my point remains the same, and quite honestly, I think you understood that before you even posted.

Kendall has been around for awhile and he's old and way past his peak. If you predicted he wouldn't keep up his hot start last season, it would be for those reasons. McGehee's still 26 and could very well still be developing. Why isn't it likely he won't put up, say, a .800 OPS?

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I agree with that part. That Casey is younger and quite possibly could still be developing. But I saw him in his brief stint with the Cubs last season and have watched him with the Brewers this season: I'm just not impressed.

 

Heck, even the Brewers started playing him only because they had to. They also were looking at Mark DeRosa, which means they had to at least be thinking themselves that Casey isn't going to keep this up unless they were going to get DeRosa to bench both the crappy Bill Hall and also Mat Gamel.

 

Like I said before, if McGehee is still hitting over .300 two months from now, when pitchers have a better idea of who he is when he comes to the plate, I'll give him all the props in the world.

My point would probably be that it's absolutely ridiculous that we just cut a guy like McGehee loose while giving big money to a guy like Aaron Miles.

 

Look at the horrific back up choices the Cubs have had this season after the Aramis injury. After cutting loose McGehee and Matt Craig, the options at 3rd base became almost as bad as our options at SS.

 

The GM of a baseball team should never let a situation get as dire as it has gotten with this Cub team. It's like Hendry honestly thought he had Superman at 3rd base, and no back up was needed. Let's just get rid of all of our minor league 3b's. We don't need them now that Aramis has a long term deal. :blackeye:

Now we are seeing that Blanco and Scales would have been better/cheaper options, I'm sure that even Hendry would agree that signing Miles was a mistake.

It wasn't just a mistake. It was ridiculously stupid. Hendry just watched a couple of marginal prospects (at best) make the big league squad and earn significant playing time with the big league club in Fontenot and Theriot.

 

Do you know how much more money Aaron Miles earns this year and next than Fontenot and Theriot combined?

 

It was a ridiculously stupid move on Hendry's part. He deserves everything he gets for such a huge waste of resources.

if you want to get pissed about somebody, it should be gaudin or wuertz.

Further proof that it's time for a new front office.

[Derwood]

I watched Wuertz last night and he made the Tigers look terrible. Ugh

[Old Style]

I watched Wuertz last night and he made the Tigers look terrible. Ugh

Gaudin destroyed the Rangers the other night. I think he gave up 2 hits and no runs through 7 innings.
