Best Brewers Off Season Pick Up? 

Post#1 » by Ruben Douglas » Wed Apr 4, 2007 12:55 am

Johnny Estrada gets my vote.
Best off-season pick up for the Brewers already. Guy can hit...and it sounds like he's got a good head on his shoulders as well.

Too early to tell, but Estrada is the type of hitter that the team needed in this lineup, and I loved that pickup

Estrada.

He is going to be what Pudge was like to the Tigers.

IMO it has to be Estrada. He is an allstar IMO and will have a career year. I also really liked the fact we resigned Bill Hall Long term. He sets us up for a great amount of HRs RBIs and Hits. He is also a gold glove caliber defender too. They can still make a good move by bringing up Ryan Braun too.

I'd say Estrada too, right now. We needed more offense behind the plate and he can deliver.

Suppan was a great addition as well. I think he'll make this team better with his World Series experience alone.

I think it will end up being Suppan when it's all said and done. Innings eater who bumps Bush down to #4 (where he will be one of the best 4's in the NL), and he also brings a lot of experience/big game pitching to the table. He's the reason the Brewers will have the best rotation in the Central.

Right now, Estrada. He has a solid stick and appears to do a fine job behind the plate. It also allowed us to move Miller to a backup role, which is perfect for him at his age. It keeps him fresh and he can come in and produce on Estrada's off days like today.

Suppan is obviously up there as well.

Its funny how little love this guy gets. In the off season people wanted him gone for next to nothing so Bill Hall didnt have to change positions. Frankly so far he's been much better than Billy. I hope Mr. Hall can turn it around a bit.
