Can the Braves move to Milwaukee mid-season?

kreitena · 02-22-2005, 02:14 PM

When is Joe Kreitenberg gonna get called up to AA or AAA. Looking at the A leaders it looks like is playing with kids. I'm sure he would help the AAA squad that way Dan Shoup with his horrible ratings could go to the position he deserves: LEFT OUT.

m0ng00se · 02-22-2005, 02:24 PM

Looks like Mike Kreitenberg is tearing shtuff up too.

He hit .541 in ABall and is hitting .320 in AA. His AA coach hasn't recommended a promotion yet, but I don't think I can keep him in AA for very long if he keeps hitting the way he is.

DamnYankees · 02-22-2005, 02:26 PM

Matt, might I add a suggestion? When we add ancestors, some of us add quite a few. Would it be possible to signify specific people, such as ourselves or our fathers (the two people I assume most of us would most likely want to succeed in TWB), and you could make sure they are relatively better than whatever other ancestors we have? While it's nice for my great-uncle to be in the game, it would be silly and disappointing if he was better than my dad, for crying out loud.

Thoughts?

Vris · 02-22-2005, 02:54 PM

Sorry Yankees. I don't agree with that. It should be in the order you put them in, just like how Matt has it now. The early ancestors were just incredible, why have them get better?

Same. If that was the case my closets relations presently playing should be doign the best. Right now they're riding the pine for the Pirates (Cecil Reed), and being bounced around in the Sens rotation (Eric Slater).

Persoanlly I like the uncertentiy

ifspuds · 02-22-2005, 03:01 PM

Likewise. I won't mind too much if it's my wife's grandfather that has the great career while my dad becomes a career backup. He'd find it funny, honestly.

When he learns 3b he will be called up

and Dan Shoup has 200 ML Career HRs! lmao

canadiancreed · 02-22-2005, 03:08 PM

maybe he can tell his younger brother how to hit liek that

kreitena · 02-22-2005, 06:20 PM

If by saying younger brother you mean Sam Kreitenberg, give him a break, he is much younger then his older siblings and plus he is my grandfather.

so I expect the best from the prospects

kreitena · 02-22-2005, 06:25 PM

Dan Shoup. 200 career minor league homeruns. Good stuff. Too bad he has never bat better then .255 in any year in any of the minor leagues.

kreitena · 02-22-2005, 06:31 PM

If I may interject, why do you want to move Joe Kreitenberg to 3B rather then keep him at his position as catcher.

Look at his IF arm...a bonus which is why I drafted him

And even though he is hitting .300+, look at his EBH and K's...not exactly AA worthy.

Do you want me to rush him and burn him out?

canadiancreed · 02-22-2005, 11:22 PM

if he wanted that you shoudl trade him to the Dodgers

tward13 · 02-23-2005, 12:08 AM

also think that it should be the luck of the draw with ancestors. If you sign up a bunch, you get the fun of having them all over the place. If you sign up a handful they only show up every generation or so, but they're more likely to be decent players.

Matt doesn't do it in the order you put them in. He gives priority each year to people with less ancestors, so if you happen to luck out and debut in a year with only 3 ancestors, rather than the usual 14, your ancestor has a better chance of having good talents.

I do think it would be cool if our alternate selves would be top picks when they debut, however. Otherwise, I'll be drafted in the 6th round and creed will be an undrafted walk-on.
