Talk about a steal. He came in here and dominated in his 1st game! Yup, last year, he came in for Buehrle on opening Day in the 8th and struck out the side. Thats when I knew that he was for real. We won that game 1-0!

And then we gave them wells and fogg for ritchie :huh:

ritchie and royce are not having bad years thus far for mil.

It's too bad we don't support the Brewers...ritchie didn't do anything here

Oh well, that was then this is now. We have moved on and unfortunately the Brewers have 2. (Royce and Ritchie)

I believe I'm correct in saying we also got Ruddy(Edwin) Yan in the deal as well and didn't he steal a record like 88 bases in Single A.

i think his arm was really hurting. i wish him luck.

That and the fact that everything he threw was down the middle of the plate

and how old is he now does he have chance of making it on this team ever.

Baseball America lists him as 21, he broke camp with the High A team of Winston Salem. I have got to imagine if this guy can hit .270 and field for anything, he has got to be able to find a home somewhere. I don't know his scouting report though. :usa

As a resident member of the Soxnet.net Minor League Staff.......... I know a litte bit on good ol ruddy....

 

He can field excellentely, and run like no-other.......... but scouts believe that his hitting is too weak to last in the majors...... So he might be Royce with speed. However, I think alot of it has to do with him still developing as a man...... he's definitely gotta hit the gym though......

i think every player needs to hit the gym it can only improve you, if you do it right.

I think it was a good deal for us, but..... I believe that Marte was going to be placed on waivers........ so KW could have gotten him for nada.... so the deal was actually Ruddy for Matt Guerrier.....Guerrier was I think like 19-4 in the minors that year so... I dunno, right now it's damn good though.

But if I remember the deal well enough Marte wouldn't have slipped down the waiver wire far enough for us to get him. So if we really wanted him, we had to deal for him.

It doesn't matter now. That could be one of KW's best trades!

If you guys continue talking up this trade as a steal, or whatever, then KW is likely to read this s***, and it will all go his head and he will think that he is the world's greatest General Manager and he will start calling other GM's and we will all become Detroit fans.

Thats taking it to the extremes! :o

You guys rip him to shreds when a deal goes bad....heaven forbid we compliment him on a great trade

when he makes a great trade that doesnt bit us in the ass later on then we can compliment him all you want... he hasnt done that yet though.... most everything was a bust or is about to bust..........

Put that crack pipe down.

ok so what hasnt busted thus far..........can only think of one trade which hasnt gone belly up just yet .. but give it time it will fall in line like the others did...........we were in second place two years in a row under kw... we will remain there or worse if hes not gone soon............

What game were u watching last year? Not only did Marte struggle. The entire bullpen nearly blew a 5 run lead as we were barely able to hang on 6-5.....

That's what I was thinking. Opening Day where? Spring Training? I can't believe you didtorted that game so much.

Well, the Marte trade hasn't been a bust, so I'm gonna guess you're calling the Colon trade a failure.

 

If that's the case, we disagree completely.

 

And we've had the players to win the crappy AL Central each of the past 2 seasons, but underachieving and injuries hindered our chances. If underachieving and injuries are KW's fault, then I guess he'll never win with some of you people.
