[TURBO]

As for 3B next year (with the assumption Turang and Ortiz handle the middle infield) , I would let black/wilken/Boeve do spring training and prove none can handle the job before going with a stop gap Jedd Gyprko type.   Manipulate service time between the aforementioned if need be but I think we can get a 1.0 war minimum that way. 

Black isn't going to be playing 3B for the Brewers.  He just isn't. 

Time to move on from that fantasy I'm afraid.

I had pretty much written off Weimer in 2023. Wish him the best but things dont look good for him.

With his swing I felt he was either going to be Hunter Pence 2.0 or a complete bum.

Cardinals DFA Pham.

I wonder if the Cardinals still had a better trade deadline now?

Well, many of the brewers numbers guys felt Pham and Fedde were a huge blow to us winning our division.  The actual record numbers surprisingly show that Fedde will take them further from the promise land rather than closer to the promise land….
