I understand Milwaukee Brewer fans. You are still grieving because Prince Fielder is officially gone and Ryan Braun could still serve a 50-game suspension. All seems to be lost right now but it does not have to be that way. The Brewers are still going to have a very competitive team this upcoming season with the additions of Aramis Ramirez and Norichika Aoki, plus the re-signing...

There seem to be two schools of thought when it comes to Mat Gamel. Generally, one camp believes that the Brewers organization has a history of being consistently inconsistent with Gamel, jerking him around and never really giving him a shot.

Once viewed as the third baseman of the future for the Milwaukee Brewers, Mat Gamel has been optioned to Triple-A for the third consecutive season.

Overall, he has hit .302/.376/.489 in about 2700 minor league plate appearances...

Mat Gamel is one player the Milwaukee Brewers have been trying to get in the lineup, but it has been tough. He has been injured a few times, but his primary position is third base and Casey McGehee has that locked down. What to do with Mat Gamel? The Brewers have to get this guy in the lineup everyday as his numbers are decent and over a season I think they could be real good. One...

Once again it is collaborative post time here on Call to the Pen.  This month’s topic is September call-ups. To get the ball rolling, I posed the following question to each of our Lead Writers, “Which player do you want your team to call-up in September and why?”  It is a simple question but I think you will find the responses to be very diverse. Taking the path less traveled...

For their 10th pick the Yankees went with a high school product out of Florida, Ben Gamel. Gamel is 5′10″ and 180 lbs., he’s a left handed hitting center fielder. He’s also the younger brother of the Brewers’ Mat Gamel. I had a chance to interview Gamel the day of the draft and he was a very polite kid who is excited about...
