| Date | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 2013-12-03 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Do you see any non-tendered players that might be worth a look as LHH platoon partner for Gaby Sanchez? Mat Gamel, maybe? (mblthd from PIT) | Nope. Gamel is interesting, but health is a skill and he doesn't have it. I think the Pirates sign someone like James Loney. (R.J. Anderson) |
| 2012-05-01 13:00:00 (link to chat) | what are your expectations for Matt Gamel and Zack Cozart ROS? (Pablo from NJ) | They'll earn far more money than me while traveling around the country to play a game most play for free. Also, Mat Gamel will eventually hit more like Triple-A Mat Gamel (winding up at 267/341/434), and Cosart will finish up at 275/338/415. How's that for false precision? (Ken Funck) |
| 2012-01-20 14:00:00 (link to chat) | Mat Gamel or Matt Adams? (Mario66 from Milwaukee) | Adams. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2011-10-04 13:00:00 (link to chat) | what role do you see Mat Gamel having next year? could he take over for Prince Fielder if he leaves next year? (gerrybraun from SD) | He could, but it wouldn't be all sunshine and roses. (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-07-13 12:30:00 (link to chat) | I would hate to see Prince leave Milwaukee and, even as a Cubs fan, I do not want to see the Cubs sign him because it is another reminder of their need to cherry pick and overspend on FA's to make up for their inability to develop from within. For me, there is a lot to like about a guy staying with the team that drafted and developed him, and Milwaukee has done a great job of building its team organically. I know there are economic challenges for the Brewers in signing Prince, but what do you feel the odds are that he stays, even if it means giving them a hometown discount? (MJ from Work) | I'd say they're pretty low, but we might have to wait for the Pujols saga to conclude before we get any closure with Prince. And hey, Mat Gamel is every bit as exciting as Prince Fielder, right? (Ben Lindbergh) |
| 2010-01-28 14:00:00 (link to chat) | Is there any way the Cards could get Mat Gamel away from the Brew Crew to fill our void at 3B? Can Gamel handle the position defensively or would TLR bench him after 3 games? (Kingpin from Grinnell, IA) | I don't think anyone believes Gamel can handle third base for any great length of time. Better to see what the Cards do with Freese and Craig in the meantime, which isn't so terrible. (Christina Kahrl) |
| 2009-05-21 14:00:00 (link to chat) | How long is it going to take Mat Gamel to be an everyday player for the Brew Crew? Or will they settle for a platoon with Hall so they suffer through Gamel's fielding antics as little as possible? (mikeduin from Seattle) | Bill Hall has to play against lefties, at second or third. Gamel is, by all accounts, laughingly bad at third, so a platoon isn't the worst idea. (Joe Sheehan) |
| 2008-11-03 13:30:00 (link to chat) | Where do you think Mat Gamel ultimately ends up playing in the Majors? Trade Cameron for a 3B or SP and go with Braun/Hart/Gamel in the OF? Trade Fielder and put Gamel at 1B? Suffer the horrible defence at 3B? Trade Gamel for 3B or SP and let someone else make the decision? (Aaron from YYZ) | I just don't think Gamel can handle third convincingly enough long enough to be tolerated at the big-league level; there just isn't enough Maalox in the world. A Gamel/Hart/Braun outfield would give life to way too many flying things (much as I enjoy the spectacle of seeing Hart in center, it doesn't really work), and Fielder would have to fetch you top-shelf pitching talent *and* perhaps that third baseman to be remotely tolerable, setting aside whether you replace him with Gamel. Gamel to somebody else for a starting pitcher or starting third baseman is sort of like all the talk about Billy Butler: you're limited to the DH-league teams, because everyone's aware of the unglovely downside that goes with these cats and their limitations as fielders. (Christina Kahrl) |
| 2008-09-15 14:00:00 (link to chat) | Love your work and thanks for taking the time to chat Bro. My question is about Mat Gamel, I know in your last chat you said he was very unlikely to stick at 3b and even compared him to the Ryan Braun disaster in the big leagues. I look at his stats at AA and I say that if someone starts 27 double plays it is almost IMPOSSIBLE for them not to have some skill over there. Knda like someone stealing 40 nases without them having some speed. I think minor league fielding stats are more reliable than scouting reports in evaluating minor leaguers. They tell you facts where the reports are sometimes all over the place... Jed Lowrie ring a bell? Any scouts appologize to you for misleading you and, us, about him? (Casejud from Bothell, Wa) | Sweet! I get to start off totally cranky! Number one: You think fielding stats are more reliable than scouting reports and that's dead wrong. Basic fielding stats are a horrible way to evaluate a defender at any level. Number two: You want to talk about how great fielding stats are in support of Mat Gamel? Did you notice the fact that the guy has made 119 errors in the past three years? ONE HUNDRED AND NINETEEN. Number three: I was not misled, nor did I mislead anyone on Lowrie. I don't remember exactly what I wrote coming into the season (and I ranked him HIGHLY, mind you), but it was something to the effect of him being a fundamentally sound defender who makes the play on every ball he gets to, yet he's not especially rangy. I haven't seen anything to change my mind about that, and I certainly never criticized his offense. Next! (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2008-08-20 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Who's the more viable defensive third baseman? Brett Wallace or Mat Gamel? (Amos from New York) | What's the fastest car? Yugo or AMC Pacer? So how the answer to that really doesn't matter? (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2008-08-13 14:00:00 (link to chat) | Mat Gamel's recent slump - nothing to be concerned about or was his first half more of a fluke? (HuntsvilleFan from 'bama) | I wouldn't be too concerned, but at the same time, I do think Gamel was over his head in the first half, and I think he's a very good, but not elite prospect. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2008-07-22 13:00:00 (link to chat) | In a radio interview yesterday Doug Melvin said the Brewers had some prospects that were untouchable. If LaPorta wasn't, who is? (denny187 from WI) | Mat Gamel, Alcides Escorbar and Jeremy Jeffress from what I can tell. (Kevin Goldstein) |
