If you are going to suck as a hitter the least you can do is help wear out the pitcher. Most hitters are better earlier in the count. Partly because they swing at pitches they can better and partly because they can be more selective instead of defensive. As long as Yuni never plays in the field and never hits against RHP, this signing doesn't completely suck. I don't trust our manager to keep him in that very restricted role.
-
Let us never forget: Oh yeah, the play where a halfway decent SS makes it to the ball and doesn't have to toss it behind his back because he got to the ball way late.

I can't believe you could stop laughing long enough to actually type that.

Now we just need Mark Kotsay back to play CF.
-
I guess $11m/year is a pretty cheap contract.

What if they made you Commissioner?

You would probably have to expand rosters to 26 but I like the idea. -
They will not try to trade him before his last year at which time he will probably be so bad we just cut him. We heard the same thing when Suppan signed. We heard the same thing when Wolf signed. We heard the same thing when Ramirez signed. We heard the same thing when Gomez signed an extension. Trading guys and going with younger near equally talented guys is just not Melvin's MO.
-
They would be better off getting on base further up the order. None of those guys will work the count. Making an out in front of the pitcher isn't as bad as making that out a couple more spots up the order. You want better hitters higher in the order. You also would prefer to play small ball with Gomez and Segura. You don't want them sitting on base while the pitcher is up.
-
I don't think it really adds enough wins to be worth while. The contract itself isn't bad, for a pitcher a couple years younger. Giving up a pick on top of that is worse. We gave out a bad contract and gave up a pick for a guy who will not really add much to the team.
-
Sounds good in theory but how likely is that to really happen?
-
I really think this might be an Attanasio thing. I really hope it is as simple as firing Doug Melvin. If it wasn't for the pick I would dislike this move. Add in losing a pick and I really hate it.

BIG TEN (6 teams, new) Michigan (from CCHA) Michigan State (from CCHA) Minnesota (from WCHA) Ohio State (from CCHA) Penn State (from independent) Wisconsin (from WCHA) NCHC (8 teams, new) Colorado College (from WCHA) Denver (from WCHA) Miami (from CCHA) Minnesota-Duluth (from WCHA) Nebraska-Omaha (from WCHA) North Dakota (from WCHA) St. Cloud State (from WCHA) Western Michigan (from CCHA) WCHA (5 new) Alaska (from CCHA) Alaska-Anchorage Bemidji State Ferris State (from CCHA) Lake Superior State (from CCHA) Michigan Tech Minnesota State Northern Michigan (CCHA) Bowling Green (CCHA) The NCHC looks like the new power conference though the Big Ten looks strong. The WCHA is left with only 2 teams that finished in the top 10 of the WCHA this year.(#4 and #10) Michigan Tech is the only ranked team. It looks like after Wisconsin and Minnesota decided to leave most of the good teams left in the WCHA decided to jump ship. I am honestly not happy to see the end of the WCHA.
-
Goodbye WCHA. I think the WCHA is going from being a power hockey conference to one of the worst.

You are not going to get new releases with any streaming service. We have both Netflix and Amazon Prime. Prime isn't really all that great either.
-
I would put Gonzalez in front of the pitcher. He is probably the wost hitter with no upside and he can't steal bases.
-
Khris Davis and the potential he has...but where?

Some people are just not infielders. We know this from watching Braun. -

logan82 replied to 3and2Fastball's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Braun would be a wreck at 1B. It wasn't just his throwing at 3B that was horrible. He has no fielding instincts. His saving grace in LF is his athleticism and the low bar set for LF. -
Schafer supposedly plays very good defense and has good OBP skills so I tihink he could have come close to matching Gomez' value. That is why I am not a big fan of the signing. I don't hate it but find it really unnecessary.
-
Do you consider Gomez a star player? I sure don't. He is good but replaceable.
-
Mike Cameron without the walks seems pretty accurate. Keep in mind though that those walks added a lot of value so the gap between them is still pretty big. Gomez and Cameron have an almost identical career K%.
-
When is Schafer going to see playing time? The games Braun takes off? It makes no sense to put him in RF in place of Aoki. His best chance for playing time is if Gomez gets hurt again. I really wish Melvin was capable of this.
-
Except that it isn't irrelevant. If Gomez performs even close to what he did last year, he will continue to carry a lot of value. It isn't like he couldn't be traded for someone of value if he has a good year or 2 and Schafer is knocking down the door. It also allows us to consider trading Schafer if both continue to perform well. Fact is, we are better off having both of them as long as Gomez can meet or exceed his contract. If we continued to let (youngish) players walk that were willing to sign below their market value we will be worse off as a team, regardless of who we have waiting behind them. It's about keeping the value with the team and not letting it walk away for nothing. It is irrelevant because we have a cheaper in house option. We didn't need to spend the money.
-
I don't care what Gomez would have made in FA. That is pretty much irrelevant. This deal makes no sense because we have Schafer already in the system who by many accounts plays really good defense in CF and can actually get on base. Seems like a waste of money. I hope he finally develops some plate discipline.
-
I hate drivers who don't use their turn signals. Also people who don't use the on ramp to get up to highway speed. Merging with traffic when you are going 10+MPH slower than traffic is very dangerous.

Eh, Cain plays in a division made for pitchers. Greinke played in a division with lots of run scoring.
