Prince Fielder Continues To Stay Hot!

Prince Fielder has been hitting the ball well for the Milwaukee Brewers as this could be the last season he plays for the Brewers. Fielder has super agent Scott Boras representing him, so you know Fielder will get top dollar. The interesting part for Fielder will be what kind of market will there be for him when he becomes a free agent. If he continues to hit the ball the way he has been the market could widen to include other teams as well.

An interesting side note to all of this is the Milwaukee Brewers drafted Scott Boras son in the draft this week. Could that have an impact on the discussions when it comes to a new contract. Only time will tell if that will have any bearing at all. A good move though by the Brewers if it helps I guess. Fielder will command somewhere between 120-150 million dollars, and that is probably too steep for the Brewers.

It will be interesting to see what the Milwaukee Brewers do with Fielder at the end of the season. Will they offer him a good contract or let him walk. If starts to struggle they may trade him, but that seems unlikely as he is playing very well. For the Brewers and their fans it is a wait and see approach with Fielder.

Brewers Bullpen Gives One Away

The Milwaukee Brewers bullpen has been great for most of the season, but last night they let one get away from them. Brewers starter Shaun Marcum deserved a better fate then he got last night. Marcum pitched six innings and gave up no runs and two hits, but threw over 100 pitches. Brewers manager Ron Roenicke decided to go to the bullpen and they could not hold the lead. Marco Estrada came in and it fell apart for the Brewers and they eventually lost 2-1 to the New York Mets.

Prince Fielder went deep for his 15th home run of the season, but the Brewers really did nothing else against former Brewers pitcher Chris Capuano who pitched real well. His only mistake was to Prince Fielder. This is a game the Brewers let get away and it should not have happen, but it did.

he Brewers drafted 3B Trent Boras in the 30th round of the first-year player draft on Tuesday. He is the son of agent Scott Boras, who represents Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder. … One round earlier, the Brewers selected right-hander David Lucroy, the younger brother of Lucroy. Tonight the Brewers will send Randy Wolf to the mound and try to get back on track.

Rickie Weeks Could This Be His Last Year

The Milwaukee Brewers are working on a contract extension with Rickie Weeks, but it has been a slow process so far. Weeks is a vital part of what the Brewers want to get accomplished. Rickie Weeks knows that he has a lot of bargaining power right now. He had a banner season and knows if the Brewers will not give him what he want someone else will. This is just how the baseball market is and the Brewers need to realize this.

Weeks does have some shortcomings as a player though. He has a high strikeout ratio and does have a high amount of errors as well. Even with that said the Milwaukee Brewers still need to add Weeks long-term if they hope of keeping the nucleus of this team together. Weeks is a great lead-off hitter and gets the offense going quickly.It will be interesting to see if the Brewers give him the money or decide to go in a different direction.

Brewers Crush Cubbies 18-1

The Milwaukee Brewers struggled this past weekend against the Houston Astros. In 27 innings the Brewers could only managed 2 runs. Against the Chicago Cubs tonight though it was a different story as the Brewers crushed the Cubbies 18-1. Yovani Gallardo started the game for the Brewers and went six innings allowing just one run and striking out 12 Cubs.

On the offensive side of the game the Brewers pounded out 26 hits against four Cub pitchers. Ryan Braun, Corey Hart, Casey McGehee and Prince Fielder went 16 for 26 with 11 runs scored along with 12 RBI's. The Brewers have a good offensive club and this does not surprise me at all. Gallardo is the only pitcher the Brewers have they can count on these days. It's too bad the Brewers cannot get better outings from other pitchers.

Corey Hart Gets Contract Extension From Brewers

For the longest time the Milwaukee Brewers have been known as an organization, that has not taken care of their players. For once, the Brewers did the right thing and gave Corey Hart a three-year extension. Hart will get 26.5 million over the next three seasons. Hart who was the talk of many trade rumors is having the best year of his career batting .288 with 23 home runs and 72 RBIs. Hart’s 23 home runs is just one shy of his career high of 24, which he should easily pass this season. He was named to the 2010 National League All-Star team on the players' ballot and started the game in place of injured Atlanta Braves rookie Jason Heyward. He also was a member of the 2008 NL All-Star team.


This is a good signing for the Brewers and leaves Prince Fielder one person the Brewers must figure out what to do with. Many people think he will be traded eventually most likely in the off-season. The Brewers are desperate for pitching and he could bring some pitching for the Brewers. His bat in the lineup would be missed, but unless the Brewers fix the pitching problem, they will continue to lose games. At least by signing Corey Hart the organization is showing they will pay their plays and committed to winning baseball games.

Could Corey Hart Be On The Move?

Corey Hart will take part in the Home Run Derby Monday Night, but could he be traded over the break. The Brewers have struggle of late and many people feel Corey Hart, Prince Fielder, and Rickie Weeks could be traded. Today, Hart hit a home run in the bottom of the ninth to give the Brewers a 6-5 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Brewers seem to have no trouble beating the Pittsburgh Pirates it's rest of the league that they struggle with.

Corey Hart wants to stay a Brewer, but the way he is playing right now he might be the first to be traded. San Francisco is one of the teams that have expressed interest in Corey Hart. I hope the Brewers think twice about trading Hart, but you never know. The Brewer fans may have seen Hart for the last time. I guess only time will tell. I do look for Prince Fielder to be traded real soon though as the Brewers will probably not make an effort to sign him.

Brewers Need To Look Into Trading Some Guys

So far this season the pitching has actually been worse this year than last year. I think it is time the Milwaukee Brewers need to consider trading some players. Two players who have been talked about in trade talks is Prince Fielder and Corey Hart. Both players could bring in some pitching talent which is what the Milwaukee Brewers need right now.

The Brewers should see what it would take to get Cliff Lee from the Mariners. I would be willing to give up Fielder and Hart to land Lee if he was willing to sign a long term deal with the Brewers. If not than no way I would give both players away. The bottom line is until the Milwaukee Brewers get better pitching they will continue to struggle to win baseball games. The Giants series was a good indication as the Brewers pitchers were battered around all series giving up 15 runs in one game. Of course the Brewers helped in the process with errors as well. Unless the pitching gets better it will be a long second half of the season.
