	Brewers are expected to announce a 7 year deal with Ryan Braun. This is very good news for the Brewers 1 down at least 1 to go in Fielder. http://www.jsonline.com/watch/?watch=1&date=5/15/2008&id=39743

	If you think we are going to pay both Braun and Fielder you are crazy. There is only room for one high paid player in this town. Personally I am glad it's Braun and not Fielder.

	I would love to keep them all, but if push came to shove I would chose Braun, Gallardo, Fielder, and Hart in that order. I put Gallardo ahead of Fielder just because Fielder's agent is Boras and I know he's going to be a pain in the azz. I can see the Brewers seriously retaining all of these except for Fielder.

	And in this thread, a guy said he had "inside info" about a week ago and some people were calling B.S. on him because he wouldnt reveal his source. http://www.sportsline.com/mcc/messages/chrono/8245821

	Hey Fordy as a fan I have to believe they will try to keep Fielder as well so if you want to be a negative nancy and think it can't happen fine I feel sorry for you. The biggest trouble in getting Fielder signed is his stupid agent Boras so hopefully something will get done & if not they should be able to get great value(hopefully some pitching) for him in a trade.

	GvShts I did see that thread and we have to give mad props to stub00 for that info. I spread the rumor around but didn't think much of it because it wasn't official.

	Yeah, it is hard to decipher fact from B.S. these days. Luckily it looks like this one is going to be fact and I for one am glad. Not only did Braun lash out to the media to show a take charge attitude, but his bat woke up as well.

	I would like to be more positive about Fielder, but the biggest trouble IS his agent. The only chance I think we have is if Fielder continues to flub plays and in the words of Lou Brown, "HIT LIKE SH*T" this year so his value goes down a little. Even then, I just sense that Fielder got ticked before the season with this organization and he is just doing his time.

	I agree that Fielder is going to be a hard project to get resigned. You know Boras would rather see him in a big time market, like NY, Boston, or Chicago. I would say right now that getting him to remain a Brewer is at slim odds. I am glad that the Crew are able to get something worked out with Braun. Maybe if things don't work out with Prince, they will move Matt LaPorta back to 1b.

	The deal is actually a 7 year extension that starts after the 2008 season. So the Brewers have him at least until after the the 2015 season. Hopeufully we can see a championship at some point in there Maybe this will open Prince's eyes that the Brewers are willing to pay big bucks to those players who aren't demanding salaries that they don't deserve. Ryan has surpassed Prince as the best offensive player on this team and really needs to get him butt in gear if he wants to make anything close to what he wants in this offseason's arbitration hearing.
