Quite a bit to talk about in the aftermath of the J.J. Hardy trade.  This off-season will really be all about starting pitching, so that&#8217;s what I&#8217;ll largely focus on here.
Before we get into that, though, the Brewers made the correct move in declining the $3.7 million option on David Weathers in 2010. [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=danandsteve.com&blog=731895&post=1127&subd=stevealtstadt&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Brewer fans are already lighting up message boards with anger over the newly announced trade: J.J. Hardy for Carlos Gomez.  If you listen to them, Doug Melvin just mishandled the Brewers most valuable trade chip.
I suppose he may have, but I&#8217;m not convinced.  Since Hardy laid an egg this year, I&#8217;ve been saying [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=danandsteve.com&blog=731895&post=1124&subd=stevealtstadt&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Posted by Steve
Multiple sources have indicated the Brewers will have interest in signing Jarrod Washburn.  The fact that he is from Wisconsin makes it a plausible match, apparently.  This doesn&#8217;t excite me at all.
Washburn was decent enough last year, though not as good as his 3.78 ERA suggests.  Granted, it was the best year he&#8217;s [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=danandsteve.com&blog=731895&post=1121&subd=stevealtstadt&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I just wanted to pass along this pretty timely article from the Wall Street Journal written by Jonah Keri.  I&#8217;m encouraged that this idea is really starting to catch steam.  It will probably take a few years, but I really expect to see the roles of umpires diminished&#8211;and that&#8217;s a good thing.

First things first.  The Crew put a nice cap on a disappointing season by sweeping the Cardinals in St. Louis.  If that in any way has a negative effect on St. Louis as they head into the playoffs, I&#8217;m [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=danandsteve.com&blog=731895&post=1113&subd=stevealtstadt&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

As recently as five years ago, defense in baseball was not examined half as much as it is now.  Moneyball had recently hit the shelves, and on-base percentage was all the rage.  As you recall, the book described how the A&#8217;s willingly sacrificed defensive prowess if a player got on base at a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=danandsteve.com&blog=731895&post=1111&subd=stevealtstadt&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I can only discuss one thing for so long before people probably get tired of hearing about it.  Lately, it&#8217;s been Macha&#8217;s refusal to play the Brewers&#8217; young players on an even semi-regular basis.  This doesn&#8217;t look like it will be changing soon&#8211; Gamel has one (!) plate appearance since being called up, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=danandsteve.com&blog=731895&post=1106&subd=stevealtstadt&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Ken Macha&#8217;s propensity to play veterans over young players bugged me at times this season, but now it&#8217;s reached a different level.  Did Mat Gamel kick Macha&#8217;s dog?  Do Casey McGehee or Craig Counsell have incriminating photos of him?  Because something like that would be the only explanation for not playing Gamel at [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=danandsteve.com&blog=731895&post=1104&subd=stevealtstadt&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
