A source told SI.com that Attanasio is speaking to Brewers great Paul Molitor about a possible return to the club. However, one higherup insisted that discussion is unlikely to be for the managerial job, and that Molitor is more likely instead to wind up as a coach, scout or consultant.

What do you think?

What do you think?

But if Molitor agrees to return to Brewers from Twins ( I don' t know why...) then I would offer that position to him if I was GM Melvin.

Then and only then I would  re-hire Dale Sveum and bring back Robin Yount if he so chooses. If Yount says no, then bring in JIm Ganter to be a coach.

I would then Fire Skaalen and Garth Iorg and then put Jim Gantner as a third base coach or promote minor league manager Don Money if they elected to keep it in the family.

The batting down the stretch was atrocious as was the baserunning and coaching decisions at third this year late in the season. We ran better when Davey Johnson was a coach! But you can't hold every hitter accountable and move them, so you have to let go the coach unfortunately..

But I am on record as saying if we go outside we look to bring in a guy like Willie Randolph who was a final canidate if I am not mistaken of GM Melvin's before he chose Ned Yost. You had Bob Melvin, Ned Yost, the manager for Oakland whose name escapes me right now and then there was Randolph. 

But you bring in Molitor and you would have Dale Sveum as Manager, Robin Yount as his bench  coach and Paul Molitor as the batting coach and Jim Gantner at third base or Don Money.Not bad for us old time fans to see.

Now wouldn't that be great?  You would not move away from the 1982 aura we got going but you would have two Hall of Famers on your staff which can never hurt...

That would be great to assemble them all together for a run at this thing next year. If the Rays did it, why can't the Brewers?

Gabe Gross and Balfour  left here and really turned it up in Tampa. Grant Balfour is one who we let get away.

But Book it with Paul Molitor...and get Skaalen out of here! Nice man, but no major league experience to help these guys develop along in their careers. This is not the minor leagues. They need a former player perspective. 

It should have been him who was let go and Yost should have stayed! It was the hitters who gave in not Yost!

Nooo way in hell...well, maybe шооблончег

Hopefully, as our leadoff man and third baseman

HELL NO.  Let's get away from the 82 mystique and concentrate on 2009.  I say cut ALL ties with the 82 team and get someone outside of the organization.  I am done talking about 82....I want to talk about this team right here.

HOORAH''

Amen brothers. I am sooooo sick of everything being about a team that didn't even win it all. It is beyond pathetic.

I agree.  Time to move on... keeping the logo would be cool though.

The BEST way to put 1982 to rest is to WIN NOW.  The World Series run in 1982 was a great part of our team history as was the 92-93 win season of '92 (?).  We should embrace that history.  I was 12 when they made that run... and remember it well.  Unfortunately, there hasn't been much to get excited about over the past 26 years.  These past couple years have been outstanding.  It makes following Brewer baseball exciting again.  This team is fortunate to be in a position that it can be successful for many years to come. 

 I'm sure the powers that be will make the right decisions and do what will make the Brewers contenders again next year.  They need to be mindful f what the Cubs are doing to.  A couple tweeks in that lineup and they will again be 'the force' of the NL Central.  We need to compete... and we will!!!

Thanks for this year... BUT... we're aleady looking forward to next season!!!!
