He might... That's a big might though.
Baseball  Weekly says he's out indefinately.

Now As for Gantner, this is his last season playing for the Brewers.
No doubt on this. He's been offered a managment postion, he has
refused or accepted. Either way he's leaving. 

Listach has wrapped up shortstop. It's his to lose now.

Sietzer, 3b is his also, and all Brewer fans spit at the mention
of Shefeild(spit!).

Rumor has it 2b will be split up between Fletcher, and Spiers.

Stubbs(1b) is currently packing his bags, he's out of here.
Jaha and Molitor are playing this position.

Rumor has it Surhoff and Jaha will play 1b with catcher being up for 
grabs. McIntosh has hit poorly, but is ok defnsively.
       Surhoff hit better, but his defense sucks, no arm.
       Allanson good hitting, but iffy arm ,and has had injuries.
       Nillison great arm, but no hitting again.

Nilsson is back up, McIntosh is on 15 day DL.

Yount and Molitor both have contracts up. Yount may retire,
and Molitor may be off for Minnesota.

Plesac may be gone also, along with Ruffin.
Ruffin got beat up against Toronto 5 runs 1st inning, and no outs and pulled.

Eldred is up for good, he's been hot!

Maybes:
Diaz OF in Denver, has been up once this year.
Tatum 3B Denver, awsome hitting.
Allonson C, depends on catching situation.
McIntosh C, dito.
Olando OF, just up to Denver, but playing well.


Hope this helps...
But it looks like you lose Spiers, huh?

I just read in the S.J. Mercury News that the Phoenix Firebirds are 
trying to convert John Patterson from a Second Baseman to a Centerfielder. 
The reason being that the Giants want to put him in Center Field some
time in the future. 

Also Giants Traded away Heredia to the Expos for an infielder from
the lower minors. I don't know the name.

Does anyone have an update on Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Billy Spiers?
I know he had back surgery in the off-season, and hasn't played at all
this year.  

Is there any chance Spiers will play at all this season?  I've got him
in my PBM Strat league and I'll lose his rights if he doesn't play
in the bigs at all this year.

Even if he does return, where will the Brewers play him?  With Listach looking
like a ROY contenter in the AL, would the Brewers move Spiers to second, and 
replace Gantner-Fletcher?? 

Thanks in advance for any updates...

I would like some/anyone's suggestions on computer programs for BB simulation.
I own the following system:

        Apple II (gs to be specific)
        1 3.5" drive
        1 5.25" drive

I'd like a program that uses real stats, has the capability to enter stats,
and doesn't need input during the game run. Also prefered is 3.5" media or hard
drive copy ability.

Comments on >any< Apple II program is welcome. Thanks.

Harnisch was hit on the right arm by a line drive off Willie McGee's
bat; the ball bounced right to Bagwell at first for the second out of
the inning.  Pete was miffed to be taken out -- slammed his glove down
as he entered the dugout.  He's got a bruised arm and may miss one
start.

According to a posting on clari.sports.baseball a few days back, Harvey
has tried to throw on the side the past few days, but experienced a lot
of pain, and , I think, is going to get an MRI scan on the elbow, so it
does not look good.  Grahe seems to be doing OK, although his K/BB ratio
is anemic compared to the Harvey of old. (I lost Harvey and picked up
Grahe too).

I hate to respond to my own article but...

Thanks to everyone who responded to my post; unfortunately, I got conflicting

today's USA Today.  

Apparently, Bill started a rehab assignment at Class A Beloit yesterday.
Hopefully, things will go well for him.

	re: trades, etc - You've got a roster for each team. Up to 40 
players on a team, and some can be "inactive", i.e. they don't show up
on the roster when you play a game. At any point (except during a game, 
of course) you can make whatever changes to this roster that you want.
A trade would involve releasing the players from their old rosters and adding
them to their new rosters. You could zero out their simulation stats so 
far, or not. 
	For a league, I'd suggest drafting 40 players, keeping 25 "active",
and dipping into the inactive players on your roster in case of injury or
whatever.

	And there isn't much of a "rulebook" you'd need. Just agreement on
how many players on a roster, etc. The computer keeps track of pitcher 
fatigue quite nicely, and that's always the hardest part. 
	Sorry if anyone's getting tired of this, but I figured there might
be a number of people who could use the info. Besides, that's what kill
files are for. :)

In short, give me the best possible combination of outfielders and infielders

    Wakefield, a knuckleballer, has done well so far and probably will stick
    with Pitt for the remainder of the season. Militello had a 34-8 career
    minor league record and since the Yanks are out of the pennant race he'll
    probably stay in the rotation for the rest of the season. The Braves are
    very high on Smith (wouldn't trade him even though they had several offers)
    but they have such a great pitching staff that it's possible that he might
    not stay in the rotation. Wakefield, being in the rotation and being on a
    top team, would be my pick.
