Sounds like Khris Davis knee injury is bad.

two fold issue we will not be able to move Parra at the deadline now.

maybe we see another Minor league player getting there shot.

Why the hell not? Just call someone up if Parra is traded. Sucks for Davis but has no impact on whether or not we'll trade Parra.

I just saw he's having knee surgery and came to post it.

[SoupTown]

Wow. Surgery already scheduled for Tuesday. Who would have thought Lind would be our MOST HEALTHY starter.

 

Lucroy, Gomez, Segura, Scooter, Davis all DL'ed. Braun needing the odd game off. ARAM needing a LOT of days off. That is SEVEN of the EIGHT starters not in good health so far. Number 8, Mr Lind, well, he is model of non injury.

 

I guess Peralta just is salt in the wound.

 

And you KNOW the Front Office will be saying 'if only it were not for the injuries'. Heck, it may even be true. With no injuries at all maybe we were a .500 team. Hooray.

[torts]

Did he tear his acl/mcl?

 

Please dont call up logan

[pogokat]

Add Shane Peterson and give him a try. Parra should still be traded.

[JohnBriggs12]

Lets see Michael Reed. Otherwise put Jason Rogers out in LF.

[jw5511986]

Honestly if we are going AAA then I'd prefer to see Shane Peterson at this point. I wouldn't hate Michael Reed either but I'd probably lean Peterson at this point. I'd move Reed to AAA and then if they trade Parra, which they should, I'd give Reed the call at that point provided he acclimatizes well to AAA.

[Austin Tatious]

I'm intrigued by Michael Reed. Correct me if I'm wrong, but he may actually have plate discipline.

'zactly. Peterson, Reed, Schafer, Clark, Guez, hell give Gennett a try in LF. Got nothing to lose at this point.

[folly412]

Trade Parra, get prospects, move current prospects up. No biggie. The only secondary consequence of the injury is that we might have to see Schafer again.

[igor67]

Nothing wrong with playing the kids, but it also seems potentially shortsighted to rush a bunch of them up and burn 2 or easily even all 3 of their non-arby years on bad teams. Reed is looking very exciting, but he hasn't even hit 200 ABs at AA yet. Peterson makes some sense.

[DocLuna7]

Let's see if the Wagner call up is an indicator of things to come or if they will go for the same old mentality and call up Schafer. Should be very interesting.

[torts]

As long as we all agree no schafer...

[trwi7]

I wouldn't even care if it was Schafer. We're calling up a guy to play backup for half a season when we're terrible and losing would probably help us more than winning.

[And That]

I'd rather see Peterson and Long before Reed. He's a couple years younger than Wagner, so it's not really the same thing to jump Reed up to Milwaukee.

[brewmann04]

I agree if the brewers promoted Wagner bases on him being the best pitcher then there is no way Logan should be called back up.

Saw him play last week. He looks like a future big league regular to me. Better than Tyrone Taylor, although not likely an allstar.

 

Good plate discipline and swing with very few holes in it.

 

His .407 OBP at AA is not a misnomer. The kid is good.

[Matt Breen]

People need to work on headline writing. Seriously, just say Kris Davis is injured.

[Matt Breen]

Bring up Peterson. He's on the 40 man roster, so no issues there. Move Braun to left, put Parra in RF. peterson can back up all the OF slots. Problem solved.

[brewmann04]

why put braun in Lf when Parra already has split time time with davis in LF

[Matt Breen]

Brain is a poor RF. He is adeqete in LF. Parra is good in either spot. That's my opinion.

[SoupTown]

If it is true that Braun is not good in RF and ok in left, we might as well start the retooling now. BUT!, when Davis is back, either later this year or next, he is only a left fielder.

[brewmann04]

everyone is entitiled to their opinion which i respect .

[Boomer5]

This doesn't change Parras trade chances one bit. It wouldn't matter if Logan, Peterson, or Matt Garza was put in left. The team is a joke regardless of the OF configuration. Losing only helps our draft status.

 

If anything, this should speed up the trade process of any of our OF since this injury highlights how quickly an assets value can fall to zero.
