2009 was a lost season for Mat Gamel with the shuttling between Milwaukee and Nashville. Winter ball wasn’t a success either with a batting average just over .200 in limited action. Spring training 2010 isn’t looking too promising at this point with a sore right shoulder causing him to miss games. The injury popped up last week and he was held out of Cactus League games. Then he returned for Monday’s game against the Mariners and had to leave in the 3rd inning. With Casey McGehee locked in as the starter at third I was hoping that Gamel would get sent down to Triple-A regardless of this spring’s performance. Gamel needs to be able to play everyday to improve in the field. The injury may set him back a little this spring, but is an opportunity for Adam Heether to show what he can do.

One of the biggest problems I see in the fantasy leagues I’ve played in is owners not fully knowing the rules of their league. One category players that get steals have significantly more value in categories leagues than in total point’s leagues. So first off you must know the rules of your league before formulating a plan of attack. The most important thing in fantasy baseball is consistency. Teams that win league championships are often the most consistent scoring teams in the league. Track records are the most important thing to me. I’m the type of drafter that will take guys with proven track records over the hot prospects. I’m often mocked in drafts for having a collection of older players, but I know what I’m getting with established players. You don’t get points for their minor league stats. Matt Wieters and Cameron Maybin didn’t justify the draft spots last season. Read the rest of this entry >>

The Brewers will add a statue of Bud Selig at Miller Park later this summer. Hank Aaron and Robin Yount already have statues out in front of the stadium. After Commissioner Selig, who else is worthy of a statue? Paul Molitor and Bob Uecker are the only two people I can think of that are worthy of such an honor. “The Igniter” was a first ballot Hall of Famer that spent most of his career in the Brew City. He was an integral part of the 1982 World Series team, had a 39 game hitting streak, and his number 4 is retired. Some fans may not have the same sentiment for Molitor as they do Yount, because he played for multiple teams. Molitor was a 5-time All-Star as a member of the Brewers. Read the rest of this entry >>
