re: JJ Hardy sent to Minnesota for Carlos Gomez

This is a great move for the Brewers. It fills a need for centerfield, also it gives the brewers options at the top of the order, and with Hardy gone we no longer have a logjam in the infield.

Don't be surprised if Gomez starts to be a good hitter because when you get a fresh start with a team that actually wants you it can do wonders ask Tony Gwynn JR

I think the move opens the door of possibly acquiring John Lackey. He's going to demand a $12M minimum, which is a lot, but with Jeff Suppan's contract expiring after next season, there's still financial flexibility in 2011 especially if the Brewers find the playoffs in the process.

I can't wait to hear about Looper's option.

First of all, statistically, Cameron has never bested a +14 UZR while Gomez posted a +16 UZR in his first full season as a professional. That is impressive in itself.

Secondly, the Gold Glove award is as much based on offense as it is defense. Although he wins Fielding Bible awards and the like, you'll never see Jack Wilson win a Gold Glove award for defense at SS because he doesn't have the bat to go with it.

I mean...Bobby Abreu won a Gold Glove award in 2005. Really? It had a bit more to do with his .285 average and 24 home runs than his -4.8 UZR.

How can you say Cameron "Has never posted a superior defensive season in his career"?!?

The guy only won 3 Gold Gloves and was runner-up for another 3...
