Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Corey Hart was scheduled to undergo right knee surgery Tuesday, but he didn't go under the knife. Instead, Hart postponed the operation so he could seek a second opinion, MLB.com and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. The MRI of Hart's knee will be sent to Dr. Richard Steadman in Vail, Colo. "Until we get past this step, we don't know what the next step will be," Brewers assistant general manager Gord Ash said, according to the Journal Sentinel. "Time is of the essence, so we're hoping it won't be delayed that long. It's hard to say right now." If Hart isn't ready for the start of the season, his likely replacement at first base would be Mat Gamel. Hart had surgery on the same knee last spring to repair cartilage damage. According to the Journal Sentinel, Hart's knee swelled during offseason workouts and a recent MRI found a problem in the joint surface. In 149 games last season, Hart...

Looking at the Brewers in 2013

Via Off The Bench  |  January 23, 2013
Year one without Prince Fielder for the Milwaukee Brewers ended a little sooner than most had hoped. After making the playoffs in 2011 and winning a total of 96 games, they only managed 83 wins in 2012 while finishing third in the National League Central. The question is, have they made enough moves to contend for a playoff spot in 2013? The biggest loss for the Brewers this offseason...

Carlos Gomez has Twitter all figured out

Via The Rhino and Compass  |  January 22, 2013
Do you remember Carlos Gomez? Lanky kid, fast, played center field for the Twins? He was supposed to be a key element for the Twins outfield going forward. Then Denard Span and Ben Revere came along. Anywho, I was recently introduced to his Twitter account, @C_Gomez27. When he tweets, it is in Spanish, which is important if you want to learn a new language. More importantly, Gomez...

Marco Estrada: 2013 Fantasy Sleeper

Via Baseball Professor  |  January 23, 2013
Last year, there were only three pitchers who started at least 10 games while averaging more than 8.00 K/9 and fewer than 2.00 B/9. It’s easy to understand why striking out more batters while walking fewer means more value, however, those three players’ current ADPs on MockDraftCentral sit at 31st, 77th, and 226th overall. Just to back that up (the ADPs on MDC can be a bit weird...

Via Mets Merized Online  |  January 24, 2013
The Mets have signed free agent starting pitcher Shaun Marcum to a one-year “major league” deal with the Mets, reports Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. The deal is pending a physical.
