I had a three minute phone call that required me to step out of the room. How many Brewers homers did I miss?

LOL, get back on the phone.

Adames is 19th in the MLB in fWAR. He's an incredibly valuable player based on ability despite people here hating on him all the time.

Just a suggestion ... It might be good to let Ortiz play regularly

What's even more dumbfounding in that Oakland basically flipped us Contreras and Payamps for Esteury Ruiz. That's crazy. They could have just kept those guys. Also, we even got Justin Yeager as a

Two guys who will be shooting for a cycle in the 8th inning (if not before).

I'm not saying Joey Ortiz is a superstar, but he absolutely has superstar potential. His power is very real and he seems to be learning how to better tap into it this year. The ceiling is super high for the kid.

I'm sure I'm in the minority - but I'm ready to trade Adames for a starting pitcher & let Ortiz & Turang handle the SS duties moving forward

But what quality of pitcher can a team expect for .250 hitting SS?

Today is the 6th game of the season the Brewers have scored double digit runs.

They had ten such games all last year.

We are a hot and cold hitting team.

I have mixed feelings about that.

It depends on how much he would cost, and what they could get for him, but I like him as a team leader.

The National PPP Institute has issued a Position Player Pitching Watch starting in the 8th inning of today's game.

Put me in coach! Put me in!

He is. But is he more valuable than a starting pitcher?

Been a lot more hot than cold, 3rd in runs per game and 3rd in OPS for all MLB before today's ten spot.

Right its technically the correct move long term.  Especially considering the juggernauts of LAD, ATL, Phi but its tough to do if you're leading the division and he's still playing well overall.    Think you'd be irresponsible not to at least listen to offers, but you don't have to force it and take the best you can get even if you're not happy with the return.  So to me it all depends on what you can get back., don't have to force the move. 

Even tougher after the Hader trade that caused issues.  But, look at Gasser so far as the return on that. Sure its only 2 starts so who knows but you're getting 6-7 years of him vs the 1.5 of Hader that was left.

Yes, long term. I think you could get a couple of really good pitching prospects for Willy. But a good starter? Not sure about that.

110 games or so of Wily Adames probably isn’t worth much at all. Low level minor leaguer or a couple of young fringe major league arm.  
 

Frankly the Brewers would be best off to keep him, make the QO and get the draft pick
