Estrada to Brewers
November 26, 2006 at 03:49AM View BBCode
[url=http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20061125&content_id=1745907&vkey=hotstove2006&fext=.jsp]Johnny Estrada joins his fourth big league team[/url]. I think its a good deal for the D-backs. Adding Davis to go with Webb and Livan gives them a legitimate pitching staff now.

Pretty good news for the Brewers since Davis was going to get more then we wanted to pay. Our catchers have been a Black Hole in the line-up for years so maybe we can get some prodution there. I hope Krynzel gets a chance in Arizona he seemed like he could be a solid player with enough PT.

I know it's lame, but when I read that headline, the first thing that came to mind was this picture:

if the Giants get Manny and re-sign Schmidt, then they're the favorites. Arizona is still a few players and a couple years away.

Looks like the Crew brought Counsel back today so when the youngsters get hurt we have a huge bat to fill in.

You know when Estrada was in the Braves farm system he was regarded as the #3 catcher prospect in the organization. the other two are McCann who starts for the Braves now, and Saltamachia<spelling is bad> who hasnt dont anything.

Estrada was a minor leaguer for the braves for one season-at age 27 (a little old but many catchers develop later). at the time jarrod saltalamacchia was an 18 year old catcher who played 46 games in rookie league ball batting a robust .239. McCann was a 19 year old A ball player who played well for Rome in the South Atlantic League. Both may have been highly regarded for their age and position but there are tons of A ball and Rookie ball players who never progress and to claim that Estrada was considered number three behind either, much less both, is a little over the top there scaff.

yes, but he was aged by then, and when McCann came up and performed you see how fast they dealt him..Pages: 1
