    Yep, Corey Hart -- you hear questions about his character & work ethic all the time And he hurt his knee last season running in spikes on concrete, not walking. Guess that wouldn't fit your narrative, though.

    I think you're probably right that Melvin will want a vet, but I think Khris Davis might be a good short-term fix -- he'd provide the RH power bat off the bench that the 25-man roster seems to be lacking.
  3. TooLiveBrew
    Ouch. Has to be sooo frustrating for Corey. Get well soon. On the flip-side, this is a perfect example as to why some are very leery of the Brewers extending him on a big-money contract.

    And here is McCalvy's blog post on the final tally of Brewers competing. As Patrick425 mentioned, 14 total & 11 off the 40-man roster.

    McCalvy later posted a correction: Correction on Classic Eligibility. Here's the portion of WBC eligibility rules that he quoted:

    Two words: Scott Boras

    Wow.

    I already liked McCutchen... now it is impossible for me not to.

    They were fantastic tonight, and I hope they continue to make me eat those words. Great win. And actually, the Berggren posterization dunk around the 14 minute mark tonight is one of the best finishes I've seen by a Badger under Ryan. I literally jumped off the couch and yelped some version of, "wooooooo!"
  10. TooLiveBrew
    It is... but $28M and forfeiting a draft pick for a reliever?

    Check out this forum: viewforum.php?f=69 Some '13 discussion there, but iirc no mocks posted yet.

    A 5.53 ERA at A+ for a college pitcher taken at #15 overall is horrendous. And he only managed 60 K's over those 107 IP.
  13. TooLiveBrew
    Just a joke. Sorry for the confusion.
  14. TooLiveBrew
    Oh, I didn't mean that like I have anything against Badenhop. I just think Burke Freakin' Badenhop would be amazing.

    Outside of 2011, Soriano has been one of the best RPs in the game since '06. Absolutely deserved QO in my opinion, and I believe NYY would've been happy to have him accept it.
  16. TooLiveBrew
    As usual, your work is greatly appreciated, rams

    Guess I should've used blue font there. Figured the language "[not] motivated to deal Hart" was enough of a giveaway. My "sources" here were meant to be simply Invader

    I'm not talking about payroll, I was talking about what you referred to -- cash. I feel like every time I refute part of this idea, you say you meant something else... so carry on. Obviously you don't need any information, you've already made up your mind.
  19. TooLiveBrew
    My sources now tell me that Doug Melvin is shopping first baseman Corey Hart, and a deal is expected to be reached by the end of the month.

    Thornburg & Jungmann ahead of Peralta is pretty face-palm-y... especially when you read the Peralta & Jungmann write-ups -- basically the same, but Peralta is described as being MLB-ready & imo with a bit more upside (and about the same age). And listing Coulter's alternate position as DH, instead of 1B, for a NL club? I appreciated the scouting notes sprinkled throughout, but this list is weaker than I'm used to from FanGraphs.
  21. TooLiveBrew
    The Brewers are one of the lowest-ranking teams in MLB when it comes to cash, especially now with the new huge TV deals. Imo cash also would be very unlikely to sway Jack Z. in this case, and on top of that the Brewers have near the least possible amount to offer. Even if you see the M's extending Gomez & Hart, that's not what SEA would be trading for -- they'd be merely trading for one season. Would you trade me a $10 bill for a $5 bill if I told you that you could possibly take that $5 to the casino & turn it into $50? If you're talking about including Lucroy, then I think you might have a jumping-off point to start to get the M's to listen... but, personally, I really don't want to trade Luc for just two seasons of Hernández -- we took the short-term path with Greinke & wound up in the current state of affairs. I just think you're viewing this possible negotiation through very Brewers-friendly glasses.
  22. TooLiveBrew
    So I was going off of your earlier mention of Hart+Gomez+Prospects. Is it now Hart+Gomez+Lucroy+Prospects? I think you're assuming a lot about what Jack Z. would want if you think the inclusions of Hart & Gomez are going to help separate the Brewers from the rest of what other MLB teams could offer. I think the Brewers getting a deal done would be one of the longer shots in MLB, largely because 1) I don't think a rebuilding SEA team would value one season each of Hart & Gomez very much, and 2) many other orgs. have much better farm systems. The M's should be looking for elite prospects in return for trading away the face of their franchise, not guys they'll control for less than 6 seasons.
  23. TooLiveBrew
    Piazza's 143 OPS+ is the highest in the history of MLB for a catcher. If that's not a dominant career... (for comparison, Pudge Rodríguez's career OPS+ is 106, and had one season better than 143)
  24. TooLiveBrew
    Please tell me it's "Freakin'"
  25. TooLiveBrew
    Seattle isn't going to be looking for one-yr. stopgaps like Hart & Gomez if they demand MLB talent. The package you proposed is a classic quantity-for-quality deal, in which the pieces coming from our side are being heavily overvalued. The kind of MLB player they'd likely be interested in would be a Lucroy (for example), since he's under salary control for quite some time. Basically, ask yourself if you'd trade Braun for one year of Hart+one year of Gomez+Peralta+others from the farm. Because that's the caliber of player you're talking about in Hernández.
