Brewers Looking for Corner Infield Help, Interested in Carlos Santana Reunion

Long time reader and lurker, but first-time poster.  I consider myself a pretty calm and even keeled person and preach being in control of your emotions to my athletes, but as blindsided as the Brewers were with the Counsell debacle I am not sure that I could help myself from not freeing up a little extra payroll money this year to make a little statement.   Corner infield is our obvious need right now and we have the ability to overpay a little to fill one position by bringing up Black to play third base.  Rhys Hoskins to me is who I would target.  He checks all the boxes, including getting him and the Cubs not getting him.  I know it takes two to tango and the contract will likely be quite expensive, but we have to take advantage of our youth surge of talent at lower cost and pair that with more expensive talent that are good role models.

I think I enjoy this part of the season even more than then the regular season.  I am intrigued with the roster building process and having a young talented top of the end minor league system really makes it even more interesting.

This is the Brewers. They love positional versatility. Isiah Kiner-Falefa has long seemed like the perfect Brewer to me. Not an overly exciting guy, but he's consistent, plays a lot of positions well, makes contact, and gets on base at an acceptable clip.

He's just another guy that is equal to taking your cousin to prom.

I want nothing to do with IKF.

From a former coach to a current one....nice debut, rookie😉.

I think Hoskins would look really good in a Brewer uniform. But with Black on the cusp & Wilkin looking like he might be fast-tracked (I still think 1B is a possibility for him), I don't see them wanting to go more than two years on a deal, and I think someone else would offer three.

Garver could not make more sense than any fa out there
