I also want to quickly weigh in on the Roy Halladay situation. Personally, I feel the Brewers should go after him. He’s just the type of linchpin our starting rotation needs to fall in place.
Also, another veteran arm, especially one of his caliber, could help mentor the likes of Manny Parra, and even make the likes of Yovani Gallardo better.
As for whom to trade, I think any talks have to start with J.J. Hardy, not Alcides Escobar. I think that if you package Hardy together with Bill Hall, you don’t have to part ways with as many prospects, which is the new concern for most clubs.
Also, you get more of your top prospects (Escobar and Gamel) playing time, which, in a small market like Milwaukee, is necessary to win in October.
It’s all about the right balance, and I think now is the time to make this move.
Personally though, I feel the heart of this issue lies in us letting Mike Maddox go to Texas.
While he was very loyal to Ned Yost, he was also an amazing pitching coach, and so far this year we’ve suffered there most.
That wasn’t the case in years past.
While Bill Castro is a solid coach, I don’t feel he’s getting the job done the way Maddox would have.
