Let me be the first to predict 2 of those 4 HRs will be against the Cubs.

I'll endorse that prediction, as your predictions vis a vis the Cubs and Brewers always turn out so accurately.

The only current Cubs pitchers Durham has hit very well are Dempster and Wood. On July 2 he hit a 3-run shot off Marmol.

How will this affect his Hall of Fame chances?

Durham's career performance against the Chicago Cubs will have little bearing on his Hall of Fame chances, as it is not representative of his career as a whole. Moreover, his career performance, though noteworthy, falls somewhat short of even the minimum threshold for consideration.

Weeks is hitting 263/440/526 since the all-star break.

As for my predictions #2. My prophecy on the 7/8 Rich Harden traded to Cubs thread:

Zambrano
Wood
Marmol
Harden

Each have arms hanging by a thread. It is a long season.


So far, I am off to a quick start. Wood (out). Marmol (showing serious signs of fatigue). It is a long season indeed.

So "blister" = "arm hanging by a thread". Yeah, you're feckin' Nostradamus.

Again, call me when Parra or Sheets makes it through an entire season healthy.

I will, however, give you credit for your "long season" prophecy, as the season is, in fact, still 162 games long.

Oh, and your Zambrano prediction's looking a little shaky. 5 runs allowed in 3 starts since his DL stint. And Harden's looking, uh, not too bad.

Weeks is still the Brewers' long-term hope


Perhaps not, with Escobar likely to need a place to play soon. I expect Weeks to be traded.

MWE,

I'd rank JJ as slightly more likely to get traded.

Although I'd personally deal Weeks over JJ, slide JJ over to 2nd and aim for a superb D in the middle. I think the Brewers hope they can turn JJ, or Weeks, into a starter on the caliber of Parra/Gallardo. I think that is possible.

How many legit SS are there in baseball? Maybe 15? How many are also a little above average with the bat like JJ? I'd say less than 5. JJ is underrated.
