    We could put Pena at 2nd base, do a L/R platoon at 1b which also gives us a 3b backup, but we're still left with an "extra" 1b/3b prospect and also Jett who they sure won't make play four different positions right away. Plus probably only keep one of the two OF prospects. I just don't see a situation where they wouldn't end up having to trade some prospects as well as many of the players they replace. No matter what one- or two-years-out roster you build there's always a few people who can't keep sitting in AAA. But maybe if the Brewers have to add salary, it's an opportunity to trade for a valuable-but-expensive player as opposed to just an expensive one.

    Well, it's that time again. Looks more like 60k was the bottom. September probably not the best time to get back in, but "Well, historically..." is probably a silly approach now, too. I really have a hard time believing the alts will do much of anything this time around, either. Think people are fed up with dev rugpulls, influencer pump-and-dumps and the half-projects which feed on volume (5% fee to buy and sell). This time I want to be a lot more conservative with things as I should have last cycle. 80% on BTC, Eth, Bittensor and Hyperliquid, but not touching all those degen projects. Though will probably play a small amount on memes this time around because they were all that popped off last time. But I don't have 50x stars in my eyes this time. Maybe that's both good and bad.

    I'm not holding out much hope that a 2nd Round CB is going to make waves his rookie year. Even First Rounders don't do that. But assuming health and a 100% Parsons, that defensive line is going to be great. But unless Lloyd really breaks out I don't know how we'll be able to run the ball at all.

    I heard somewhere that 90% of the new jobs created in the US this past decade went to foreign-born workers. The H1B system is corrupted and it can be abusive to the visa-holders, too. I've seen a good few videos of people breaking down in tears because they'll apply to thousands of jobs, go on tons of interviews and just never get anywhere. Adding to it a ton of online postings now are scammers trying to steal your ID. How any Millennial or GenA is going to be able to retire if things stay like this is beyond me.

    And for the second time in three months one of my holdings has made Fidelity's "biggest losers" list. Cripes.
  6. GAME05
    I'm more optimistic than that. Assuming he comes back at full strength, Parsons kinda fixes all. The defensive line overall I expect will be really good and cover up for the bad secondary again.
  7. GAME05
    That sucks. Sorry to hear that.

    Cowboys cut QB Joe Milton. I thought he was going to end up a decent NFL QB. Guess not.
  9. GAME05
    I've had the exact same thought. Would make for better viewing if both QBs get hurt in a game. Though I suspect you'd have to include a stipulation of "May only play the QB position" or else we'd see Bo Melton being listed as a QB just to have an extra special teams guy.

    I'd imagine 20 million dollars would convince most people to do the same.

    Neither beside and toward need an s at the end of the word. What bugs me most is plural possessives typed out as s's. Granted, the chicago style manual allows it, but AP doesn't and chicago style is stupid. I used to work as a proofreader (most boring job ever) and I don't get worked up over too much, though I had a friend who kinda made proper grammar her thing, so of course I always made sure to add a grammatical annoyance whenever I wrote anything to her.

    I don't get how a converted SS wouldn't work out defensively at 2b or especially 3b or even in a worst-case where he has to learn RF. If he's got the arm and athletic profile to play SS to begin with, how would a guy like that absolutely tank defensively somewhere else? I get that doesn't mean Gold Glove or anything, but to worry about him tanking elsewhere is way overboard pessimism. Our MLB team is constructed perfectly for our top prospects to fit right in, even including 2b when Turang hits his "Well, time to trade him" point. So why mess that up? And if needs be, we even have *extras* we could move in Jett and whomever loses the Adams/Wilken battle.

    Crow to stretch out the rotation and JoJo Romero because we definitely need another bullpen arm.
  14. GAME05
    Or he accepts and we pay $23m for 1.5 WAR.
  15. GAME05
    Seems like a return the Bucks could have done no problem. But maybe the 1st was a must and the Bucks just didn't want to give up yet another pick?

    My immediate assumption is that Mark Walter's TWG Group owns large shares of both Disney and Paramount.
  17. GAME05
    I'm of the mind MLB loves the Dodgers powerhouse for ratings purposes, and MLBPA loves that they set the bar for salaries. That maybe it's only fans who actually care, and it hasn't mattered what we think for decades now. Pay a fine for the lost revenue sharing and carry on?
  18. GAME05
    I completely agree that positive clubhouse guys are almost a necessity on a team, but we're also stuck taking guesses at who those people are and that there aren't other guys who are or would step up. Or also the ability of a manager to create those guys. Or maybe there's a backup-backup INF or mopup reliever who can fill that role instead of paying Bauers $25m to do the same job. And maybe the locker room is just fine right now but the team has been together for 5.5 months now nearly every day and it's been 95 degrees out and they're just exhausted because 162 games so that 40% of teams still make the playoffs is stupid.

    Goodman from the Rockies is my top 'wanna get' player, too. Should add a lot of power to the lineup with hopes that the Brewers can improve his defense a little. Think we'd have to add more than Crow+Contreras, though, especially with Contreras' decline on both sides. No reason for the Rockies to make that trade unless some impact player comes back and not a couple of mid-tier prospects. I'd really like a different player than Frelick/Mitchell in the corner OF, though. Is this where you flip Jett? Not sure who that'd be, but some more SLG in the corner would be great. edit: I also wonder if maybe the timing is better if you just roll with what we've got in RF for next year. If we're stable enough at 2b between Made and/or Jett and/or Pena, that would be a good time to trade Turang with two years of control left and probably be able to get a pretty decent corner OF in return.

    Dodgers in the playoffs mean good playoff ratings. If it's a Dodgers/Yankees World Series, that's the best ratings possible. Nobody but us would actually watch a Brewers/Royals World Series. The current system ensures the most popular teams have the best chance of succeeding, as well as the least amount of time possible spent as a bad team. Only fans complaining are the small markets, and who cares about them?

    You're not gonna make me want Rengifo back, no thank you.
  22. GAME05
    As far as I can see he's not on the 40-man roster, so someone would have to be DFA'd for the sake of bringing someone up for a small amount of time. Plus if there's a lockout next year, he wouldn't be able to play and keep developing for being on the 40-man. Off it he could mash in AAA while everyone else whines they're not rich enough.

    A lifetime of watching sports: 10: Maybe one day I'll be able to do that 20: I betcha I could do that 30: Sure not the crazy stuff, but I could totally do the basics 40: I sure can't do that anymore 50: Who am I kidding, I could never have done that 60: Sure they're good, but not compared to the ones in my day 70: They're superhuman these days, we were never doing stuff like that
  24. GAME05
    I don't like that joke any one bit! :)
  25. GAME05
    We struck gold with Chourio and Made and can't realistically expect to keep doing that. Sure we could flip a lot of the prospects we've got, but I'd rather be a good team for the next ten years than add another 20% to our WS odds for one year. And it's not like the CBA will set a cap at $150m. More like $250m and the Brewers will be operating the same as now. You know the Commissioner would be thrilled at a Dodgers/Yankees WS every single year.
