I know there has been some talk on the threads about this, but has anyone heard any rumors or at least some sort of list who we are looking at?  I know some people have stated who they want but I would like to know who are the real possibilites.  I dont have much faith in any significant player changes so this is proabably the biggest story this offseason

No.

The season's only been over for six days.  I doubt we'll hear anything about it before the World Series.

The most recent news I've seen was an article last Tuesday on the Brewers website, but that was more just about Sveum waiting to hear about his future, and in Haudricourt's blog on a Melvin extension on the same day.  It seems the intention is to extend Melvin's contract first before a decision is made on the manager.  I have to wonder, though, if Melvin is considering whether or not he wants to stay with the team after what happened with Ned Yost, and perhaps with how Attanasio may or may not feel about re-signing Sabathia.

 Nice post, Mikey.

I'd be willing to bet Melvin and Attanasio work out their differences.

As far as ownership coups go, that's not necessarily the worst. 

Although the CC issue is certainly interesting and compelling -- Melvin has stated in the past that he has distinct feelings about not signing certain types of pitchers after age 28. I wonder if/how CC changes that....

Im just surprised some reporter, etc hasnt come out with a reasonable list of names.

I don't think Melvin should be extended. The offense he built has collapsed the last two seasons. If Mark is adamant about having Melvin here next year, then tell Melvin he has one more chance to fix the problems on the offense that he has now failed twice to do. If the offense collpases again, Melvin's gone.

We know how you feel.

How would you of done this?  Last year we spent more than we wanted to with 5 guys who are 25 or under.  If you dont think our young guys are any good, fine.  But I dont see what anyone could of done other than say Hart quit sucking in Sept.  In your mind who do you get?  Any money spent would of been less money for CC, etc.  Im sorry CPK but you need to worry if our young guys can cut it offensively, because no GM is going to greatly improve our team with this payroll

I agree.

I think Melvin needs to trade Braun, Hall, and Hart, and build a more disciplined offense with guys that get on base and play situational baseball.

Hmmm, could the lack of news/talk about a manager be because our owner is contemplating getting a new GM?  If Melvin is on the way out wouldn't a new GM want to hire 'his own guy"?  Of course all this is speculation on my part.  Melvin may be waiting cuz he has his eye on an assistant on the staff of one of the 4 teams still playing....!

And of course a comment from Doug Melvins gay lover. A poster who is content with the team offense collapsing on a yearly basis. You and Einy just finish your 3-way with Melvin?

Why, exactly, should anyone give two sh!ts about anything you say when you throw out sophomoric insults like this?
