I would be shocked if Yoho does make the OD roster given that he's not yet on the 40 man, and the Brewers go for preserving depth 99.9% of the time. 

Putting him on the 40 man wouldn't be difficult to do. How he's played so far, I'm sure he's better than a player that's already on it. Imo, he's definitely earned a spot to be on the 40 man.

I love that you love our chances in 2025!  WE need more of that! 

Our SP's better pitch out of their minds then, because we lost a lot of offense from Adames leaving.

This is a better team than last year’s team. Better in every way. They seem to have a solid 3B and utility IF between Dunn-Durbin-Capra. Numerous sophomores & Juniors that as a whole should show improvement as they get closer to their prime years. 

Starting pitching is deeper and better, with a bullpen so deep they can’t even fit a 100mph arm like Uribe in it.

All this and they might not win 93 games like they did last year because the division is vastly improved and with a NL a monstrous gauntlet.

I don't think it's smart to put much stock into what Dunn, Durbin, and Capra have done in ST yet, because it's just that. Only spring training. A large % of the pitchers they're facing, are either low level minor league pitchers, or experienced minor league pitchers who may have seen time in the show, but sucked. Now, if they hit like that against their opponents Major league top notch veteran SP's/relievers, then their performance may make me feel much better about them doing it in the Show.

The problem with Uribe, is he's an immature head case. I'm sure that's why he hasn't been back after his blowup.

Or it's because he tore his meniscus less than a month after he was sent to AAA and was out for the year.

That too. He's definitely an immature head case though.

Yes he did he tore the lateral meniscus in his right knee while playing hacky sack.

I don't doubt his talent at all. He has a helluva arm. It's just that he's a head case. Apparently.

Better change his contract, to say NO MORE HACKY SACK! Ha!

Just playen' but no more of a head case than Aaron Rodger's is. Oh well like I said just playen'.

Amen to that. He became the GOAT of head cases, after he dated Olivia Munn. Lol

LOL, that is for sure, I just think maybe all those concussions caught up with Rodgers. 

[CheezWizHed]

I would compare Uribe to rookie Quay Walker.  Immature and not in control of his emotions.  Very different than a Rodger's head-case situation (and easier to fix hopefully).

There is that matter of Uribe sitting out his suspension also (another reason why he wasn't with the MLB team last year).

[tmwiese55]

I don't know if healthy as I haven't seen anything on him, but technically speaking opening of the season is probably the best time to use up that suspension. Whole roster is fresh, with a built in off day after game 1

I would agree this is a better overall team than going into last year. Mostly due to the large increase in reliable SP depth, whereas last year was a crapshoot after Peralta.    Essentially the same BP since Devin didn't play. 

I put no faith in that 3B combo you list and am just hoping for basic "dont be awful" out of the position, so obviously that's a step down from what Adames provided last year.  But add in full year Chourio, hopefully 50 more games from Yelich, along with likely slight improvements from Hoskins and other young players like Ortiz, Turang, Mitchell, Frelick and it should come close to balancing Adames loss. And you'd come out ahead if someone like Mitchell really takes off.   

But like you said, will the luck and chips fall in the right way like they did last year, who knows. Division is better and we got lucky with some pitcher pickups that hit last year, will they do it back to back years? Will injuries playout in an ok way.  Adames was very lucky with his HRs being a ton of 3R shots which essentially won games, so can't bank on that again.   By no means saying lock to win the division as the Cubs have improved, but I'd definitely take the over on our 82ish win total.

[brewcrewdue80]

Chourio alone makes this team better. He has the bat ability pitchers will fear. Think after Yelich's Knee injury the Brewers haven't had the ability to say that.

Looks like DL Hall to the 60 Day is the corresponding move to open a 40 Man spot for Quintana,

So is this a fact that Uribe is a headcase or just wild speculation on you thinking u know every thing that happened.

Just an opinion, just like everyone else's comments on here. Including yours. I watched that game though, and he had absolutely no reason to react the way he did. Hence, why he was promptly optioned to AAA.

So that 1 incident means he will forget be a head case

Time will tell. At the very least, it proves he's incredibly immature. 

[tmwiese55]

Countless players have had incidents of that nature, it happens.   Giannis literally attacked Dunleavy one game and tackled him into the crowd over some minor bs.   The key Uribe is if he gets his control improved, and yea no more shenanigans.
