What Will Jackie Bradley Jr Bring To The Brewers?

 Many people wonder why the Milwaukee Brewers signed Jackie Bradley Jr and I will admit I was one of those people as well. I figured the Brewers were set in the outfield with veterans and young talent, but signing Bradley was interesting, to say the least. Let's look at what Bradley Jr will bring to the Milwaukee Brewers this coming season.

Based on his Major League averages were looking at around 120 hits, 18 home runs, and 70 RBI's for a season. His average of .239 will not wow you by any stretch of the imagination that's for sure. So what does Bradley Jr bring is it's just average numbers by MLB standards? It's simple he brings defense and a lot of it. With the outfielders, the Brewers got he will help cover even more ground in the outfield. Bradley Jr will be able to help you offensively, but he is a gold glove outfielder.

Milwaukee didn't sign Bradley Jr for his offense he was signed for his defense. The Brewers were probably thinking they didn't want what happened to them last year when they lost Lorenzo Cain to Covid. They are covering there bases by having an adequate supply of outfielders this season. Bradley is a great addition and the Brewers should be applauded for getting another great outfielder to add to the mix.

Kolton Wong Becomes A Milwaukee Brewers Player After 8 Seasons With Cardinals

 The one thing I do like about the Milwaukee Brewers they always looking to improve on things and with the signing of Kolton Wong they did just that quickly. Wong has won two consecutive Gold Glove awards and is a good hitter as well. He will not overwhelm you with his offense but is solid and consistent. Defensively is where Wong excels and that is something that you can never have enough of that's for sure.

By adding Wong Milwaukee will probably move some guys around and put them in positions that are better suited for them. The only real problem with this signing is we need to find a spot for some other players. Could Milwaukee be looking to trade away some guys? This is a possibility but I would not look for that right now.

Depth is something in baseball you can never have enough of as injuries can derail a season very quickly. Milwaukee will find places for everyone and once the season gets started you will have guys who play better than others. This is why depth is so important to baseball teams. It's getting harder to find quality players at a good price. Teams that watch how they spend is going to very important this season. Money is tight in baseball after the 2020 season and teams must watch payroll. Milwaukee is no different than any other smart market team.

Tom Brady Playing With House Money Right Now

  When Tom Brady decided to leave New England many people felt Brady was making  a mistake after all, could he actually win without Coach Bill. Brady was betting on himself when he went into free at agency. Eventually, Brady ended up in Tampa Bay a team that hasn't sniffed the playoffs in a number of years. Brady thought he was the missing piece this talented Buccaneers needed to be a winner.

Brady went through growing pains as he tried to get his teammates to understand  what it takes to be a winner. During a stretch Brady and the Bucs struggled but he kept preaching  patience and commitment to the process. Slowly, the Buccaneers started to gel  and his dream of another Super Bowl was a plausible reality. Once the Buccaneers got into the playoffs Brady knew anything was possible.

Winning three road games would not be easy but we are talking about Tom Brady. After Brady completed the win over the Packers Brady could feel a sense of accomplishment as he now completed  part of the mission. Getting to a Super Bowl is tough and winning it is even harder. We are talking about Tom Brady so nothing should  surprise us anymore.

Hank Aaron Passes Away At 86 A Legend Without A Doubt

 Today we lost one of the great ones as Hank Aaron passed away at the age of 86. Aaron was one of a kind and a true legend. One of the things you hear people say about Aaron is how genuine he was on and off the field of play. He always treated people with great respect throughout his life and he will be missed. 

I did not get to watch him a lot until he became a Milwaukee Brewers player. I did see his highlights and I knew he was a great player. One of the first things I noticed about Aaron is he did not use batting gloves when he batted. He just swung and magic happened. When he arrived in Milwaukee there was a lot of fanfare and well deserved. Even though he wasn't the player he was earlier in his career moments of greatness still happen as a member of the Milwaukee Brewers. He still hit home runs and was a fan favorite.

Taking a look at his stats anyone can see how efficient he was as a player. Over 700 home runs and over 2000 RBI's is a testament to how good he was as a hitter. One thing I could not believe is he wasn't a unanimous choice for the Hall Of Fame. He got 406/415 which kind of shocked me. A player as great as Hank Aaron should have gotten every vote.

Arron dealt with racism throughout his career and rose above it. No matter what anyone says about Hank Aaron the one thing we do know he was a winner. From life to baseball he will never be forgotten as his legacy will live forever. Thank you Hank Aaron for letting us enjoy your greatness.

Tonight's NBA Schedule has some interesting games on it. Below is the whole schedule. The Nets take on the Cavaliers and we will get to see the return of Kyrie Irving. Can Brooklyn keep winning with the Magical trio? Another interesting game is Celtics vs 76ers. These two teams will battle for the Division Championship and could represent in the NBA Finals this season. Another game I have my eye on is the Warriors vs Spurs. It will be interesting to see how much the Warriors have left after a comeback win against the Lakers.

Kyrie Irving One Of A Kind Guy

 Kyrie Irving is one guy I cannot really figure out. He is very talented, but it seems he always has issues. When he was paired with Lebron James in Cleveland they created a duo that was tough to beat. They won a NBA Championship together, but it seemed that wasn’t enough for Kyrie. Irving and Lebron seemed to have friction in Cleveland towards the end and Kyrie asked to be traded. He was traded to Boston and it was a disaster on many fronts.

In Boston, Kyrie got hurt and he did not seem to gel with his new teammates at all. He was not in Boston long before he moved to Brooklyn and he said he was glad to be there. Kevin Durant signed with Brooklyn and it looked like Kyrie had the perfect running mate. Kyrie got hurt again in 2020 and played limited games. Fast forward to 2021 and it seems Kyrie has lost interest in playing basketball. He seems to be focused on other things, not basketball.

The one thing that we can make from Kyrie is no one really understands him but himself. When it seems we got him figured out he changes the rules once again. Kyrie without a doubt is very talented and can carry an NBA team. Getting his head there for 82 games seems to be a real problem these days.

No matter what people think of Kyrie Irving he is super talented and all we can do is hope he gets his life together real soon. If he doesn’t the NBA has lost a very good talent way too soon. Only Kyrie really knows and he is not telling anyone it seems, so I guess we will just have to wait to see.
