Did I fall asleep for three months? « Brewers! Brewers! Keep Turnin’ Up the Heat! (http://danandsteve.com/2008/01/03/did-i-fall-asleep-for-three-months/)
Or did we somehow skip January, February and March and jump right to opening day? It must be one or the other, otherwise why would John Donovan write an article rating teams’ off-seasons in early January?
Donovan lists the Brewers number two on his list for worst off-seasons so far. I’ll get into why I think this is totally wrong, but first I’d like to dwell some more on how stupid it is to write this column when there are still two months before spring training begins.
Sure, teams have been pretty quiet lately. There aren’t many new rumors, which, incidentally, is why I haven’t posted much lately. But it seems obvious that the Brewers are not done making moves. I believe they will still find a third baseman, but even if they don’t, it seems obvious that the Brewers will not keep all of Ben Sheets, Yovani Gallardo, Jeff Suppan, Carlos Villanueva, Dave Bush, Chris Capuano, Claudio Vargas and Manny Parra, all of whom are worthy of starting in the big leagues. Surely many teams are in similar situations, so why pass judgment when more moves are certain to be made?
