shaun marcum
the brewers made a deal over the weekend for shaun marcum. i had heard rumors of this deal at the trade deadline last year and really liked it then. i love it now because:
1) he had great stats last year coming off of tommy john surgery (and pitching in the toughest division in baseball). year 2 is always when they are the strongest after that surgery.
2) he is a bonafide #2 (and may be a low 1 in the national league). between him and yo they have two very similar talents on top of the rotation.
3) if they go out and get another #2 type starter they'd be looking much improved in the pitching rotation. maybe then you could live with keeping prince knowing you'd lose just have one more shot at making a run. or, with rumors of lorenzo cain being available, i could almost envision a scenario where they do a three way deal with fielder/cain to get zach greinke. far fetched? maybe...but i really think it could happen.
we went to the packer game over the weekend. it was fun to see the throw backs in person. the first half was tough to watch (tons of stoppages/sloppy play) and it was cold but it is always cool getting to lambeau.
i ran at lunch last friday and loved it. this could be the beginning of something 'special.' then, i followed that up with legs and back at night which is one of my favorites. robin wasn't feeling well so she shut it down after about 15 minutes...it was the right call but i missed having my training partner. tonight we'll get back at it.
happy monday.
