All Things Yuni

[JohnBriggs12]

I don't mind Betancourt the bench guy actually, I just hated the idea of him starting. He can hit lefties and there are situations where he makes a decent PH option.

 

You have a guy on third and less than two out and need a SF, Yuni's your guy.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?

YUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNIBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

 

He will be the toy that RR can't keep himself from using.

[monty57]

are we sure its a major league deal? Ive seen conflicting reports

 

Major League deal per mlbtraderumors.com

They'll let him play until he goes 0-for-4 one day or has an error at SS. Then, it's Yuni time.

 

Honestly, the thought of Yuni getting any starts at SS with Segura and Gonzalez on the roster sickens me.

The dude just cannot decide if he likes KC or Milly better

And as usual, the JS is always last to the party (the "teeth gnashing" has already long begun, Tom):

So, someone please explain. If you are on the 40 man roster does that mean you have a MLB contract? The roster is only at 25 April-August. So couldn't you have a MLB contract and still be in the minors (if you are on the 40 man roster)?

Why is it that Haudricourt/JS consistently get scooped on FA signings for the Brewers? Doesn't make any sense to me.

Yes, but only if you are waived and designated for assignment, clear waivers, and then are outright assigned to the minor leagues. In MLB, they mostly have split contracts for situations like this.

Nice gif's TLB and DLK9 ... we should make a contest on who can find the best gif to go with the statement of "Brewers sign Yuni B to a Major League contract"

[Warning Track Power]

Man that Kyle Lohse signing looks really good now!

[Patrick425]

Anyone know what his pay will be?

maybe that's why they did this....

[Dollarbill13]

Who is starting against us on opening day? Whoever it is, I bet Yuni is 3-5 against him, lifetime.

[GenoSeligPrieb]

He didn't cost us a player or even a draft pick. Minor league deal, so no guaranteed $ so that's good too. And he's a veteran bat for the bench, which is what I said we needed anyway.

 

As long as RR doesn't feel compelled to play him over Segura - as long as Jeano has an OBP > .300 - then I see no harm. Just wish he was a first baseman, but hey...

1000% my reaction when seeing this.

Just when I was starting to get over the Lohse signing the pull this on me?

 

You are killing me smalls.

 

He better be the 25th damn guy on the roster and he better get like .5 starts every stupid week. I swear on all that is holy if he takes away starts for Segura other than occasional rest I am going to be so pissed.

 

It seems like Melvin is just going out of his way to make internet message boards go ballistic

TLB's is one of my all-time favorite .gif's, though. I should've had that one queued up.

I believe it's Jhoulys Chacin for the Rockies on Monday.

[Lee16]

No, I am not kidding...minor league contract.

Yuni has never faced Chacin.

 

The Brewers have fared well overall against Chacin. Braun, though, has been owned. 0-6 with 3 K's.
