How is this team 31-22 (topic) I was looking through the stats yesterday and couldn't believe this team is 9 games over .500 as we approach the end of the first 3rd of the season. I went through the lineup and there are only 2 positions that are exceeding expectations CF (Cameron) ... |

Braun a good/bad fielder (topic) I have seen a lot of discussion over at NSBB about how Braun is a poor fielder in left and that Soriano is better. The eye test would make it seem that Soriano is the worse OF (aside from his OF assists) as he takes absolutely horrible routes on the ball ... |

Is baseball changing? (topic) Are we entering an age of more focus on defense, and less on power hitting? I think we are. Here are my 2 reasons: 1. The steroid era is over. Or so they tell us. But I can't think of anyone in baseball that could hit 60 homeruns. Maybe Howard, ... |

Weeks weakness---The side-arm sling (topic) We are pulling for Rickie Weeks, especially these days. We hope he is the answer at the top of the order, and in large part has done average to above average work at the plate this year. Even last year his OBP was respectable. What worries me about him ... |

JJ Hardy in the field (topic) I've read a surprising amount of comments on this board that JJ is merely an average fielding shortstop with suspect range. I disagreed. Watching JJ in the field, and without using metrics, I was convinced that JJ is a well above average fielder. ... |

Hardy vs Weeks defensively (topic) The general consensus seems to be that Hardy is a better defender than Weeks. I wouldn't disagree with that. My question is, how much better is Hardy than Weeks? In my opinion they are pretty close on defense. I think that Weeks is still held back by ... |

Braun's chances for a Gold Glove (topic) I know it's a long shot for a couple reasons: 1. It's his first year in the OF 2. In an absolute case of outmoded ideas, it usually goes to CF's But, according to what I've read he led MLB OF's with a 1.000 FP, led NL OF's with 275 putouts, was 2nd in ... |

Could Escobar or Hardy play 2B? (topic) This has probably been discussed but I think if the Brewers could move one of these guys to 2B it vastly improves their team. At the very least they don't have to get rid of Hardy and they can get Weeks out of the lineup. Pick up Cameron's option and ... |

Should Corey Hart be moved to 1b? (topic) This is a thought that just popped in my head and I was wondering what others thought. If Prince is here next year, obviously Hart won't be moved to 1b. If Prince is moved in a trade, 1b has a huge hole to fill. I've never really been sold on Hart's ... |

Fielder straying from the bag (topic) Falling under the topic of Brewer problems not talked about, Fielder straying from the base needs to be corrected by coaches. On many of the bunts that are fielded by the pitcher, catcher, or 3B, Fielder needlessly keeps coming to the plate. This seems ... |

Prince's defense! (topic) I have been watching his d fade for awhile now and it is not just because he is short but for ex: Watch JJ and Billy get ready to defend. They are relaxed and take the two little steps to get on their toes when the pitcher throws the ball. Perfect ... |

Can Durham not play at least a "decent" third base? (topic) I would think Ned would give him at least a game there by now. Not trying to turn this into a third base thread, but does anyone know why Durham can't handle a game a week there. Especially with Rickie starting to play basically every day at second. I ... |

Importance of Defense at 1B -- underrated? (topic) I saw a poll in JSOnline about who one would rather have at first base, Fielder or Lee. This got me to thinking about how much better Lee is in the field. Now, I know that quantifying defense based on statistics can be sketchy, so I wanted to know what ... |

Braun's 3B Defense vs. Gamel's 3B Defense (topic) As many know, I wasn't a fan of moving Braun off the hot corner and believe over time he would've been at least an average 3B. This was confirmed by those in the Brewers organization in the discussions I had with them. The Brewers are in a win now mode ... |

Is Ryan Braun a Gold Glove Winner in 2008? (topic) So far He is among the league leaders in outfield assists and FPCT. I understand his range is smaller than some other outfielders, and that gold gloves don't always go to the players with the best FPCT. I still think that Braun has to be a contender for ... |

Branyan and Hall in the field (topic) When I was complaining on a different thread about Branyan, none of you Branyan lovers put up the fielding numbers for Branyan and Hall (although you were real quick with their OPS). In consecutive innings today, I saw Branyan: 1) make a decent pickup, ... |

Why can't pitchers throw to first base? (topic) It amazes me how often pitchers make flat out terrible throws to first base after a bunt or infield roller to them. I understand that they don't do it all that much, but these are guys who throw a baseball for a living. Anyone have a theory as to why so ... |

The Defense Thread (topic) Maybe no one else will find this interesting, but I couldn't find a thread to post in without feeling like a hijacker. It'd be interesting to see if Brewerfan can track defensive performance on a 'what we saw' basis. Since there really isn't a way (yet) ... |

Fielder's defense? (topic) For years now I have defended Prince. He's rather agile for someone of his size. But has anyone seen a worse defensive 1b? He's made at least 5 mistakes in the last week that have been ridiculous. Today the routine grounder that McClouth hit was yet ... |
