Keeping up with the trend of a thread per trade...

Getting rid of Obermuller is a good thing for the Brewers. Watching him pitch made me vomit every time.

Swan · 12-08-2005, 05:53 PM

I understand that Kolb will be used in a different role than closer coming back. Thank goodness.

Bullpen catcher, maybe?

Anyone is better than Obermuller... and I don't care all that much... I only go to Miller Park because a) it's the closest park and b) A buddy of mine who is a big-time Brewers fan always wants me to go to games with him.

You obviously didn't watch Kolb pitch at all last season. I think he walked the first batter he faced more often than he got him out.

And FWIW, I was impressed with Miller Park. Great place to catch a game.

You're right, I didn't watch him pitch at all last season. I know he sucked, but I just figured his level of suckitude couldn't possibly exceed Obermuller's.

And yep, Miller Park is a fantastic place to catch a game. I just wish the Brewers were still in the AL so I could go to Brewers-White Sox games.

I liked Dan Kolb. He was very impressive in his outings against the Phils, and I would have liked to see him a lot more against the Phils.

Yeah but he was a completely different pitcher in Milwaukee. If there's even a slight chance that he gets decent again, he's better than Wes Obermueller, a pitcher better known for his hitting.

So, the net trade was

Brewers send:
Obermueller

Braves send:
Jose Capellan and Alex Zumwalt

Jonzard · 12-09-2005, 01:53 PM

maybe the brewers paid kolb to play bad last year so they could get him back cheap........ maybe not
