BP Chats

DateQuestionAnswer
2014-05-15 20:00:00 (link to chat)Is it smart to trade Iwakuma for Wacha and one more strong guy? Is that enough?
(Steve from SF)		I mean, Todd Coffey is a strong guy. Need a little more perspective than that. (Bret Sayre)
2010-05-24 14:00:00 (link to chat)Are you as excited as I am with the Brewers recent infusion of bullpen talent?
(Jeff from Topanga)		I think it's a matter of relative improvement. The Brewers have been getting by for so long by retreading journeymen--Brian Shouse, Todd Coffey, Claudio Vargas, Mark DiFelice--that seeing actual upside-oriented prospects like Axford or Braddock enter the picture certainly brings new meaning to the term 'sweet relief.' How effective they are is something we'll have to see, but it all beats Jeff Suppan. Not that everything doesn't beat Jeff Suppan, but you know what I mean. (Christina Kahrl)
