    I think most people were hoping even Mike Cameron himself would turn out to be more than Mike Cameron during his career.

    Saw that last night. Felt completely made up. Mazara would be a very weird target for the Brewers for Braun---I think Yohander Mendez would make some sense, but who knows. anyway, I would assume this is just a blogger making up rumors

    Keon Broxton is being hyped a ton all over the internet right now, and he had a great hot streak at the end of the season, but his best possible outcome is Mike Cameron. Truth be told, there's a solid chance that Keon opens the season 15/100 with 35 k's and we never see him in Milwaukee again. He's going to get his chance to begin the season as a starter in the majors, but he's got some pretty major weaknesses in his game that are not necessarily outweighed by his strengths. Brinson obviously has some weaknesses as well, but his ceiling is much higher than Broxton's. I think Keon's length of opportunity is shorter than many realize. He needs to start hot and stay that way, or he will lose his spot to Perez/Brinson/Phillips/etc...

    I was thinking from the players perspective---If i was competing for a second catcher's job, I might ask to get myself some reps at another position to try and build my own utility enough to make the team as a third C/util. Scooter is trying to do the exact same thing, except his first position is 2b instead of Catcher.

    At the end of the season, I was all about Villar as a building block moving forward, but the more I've looked into what he actually did last season, I kind've think the Brewers should trade him after this year. If he has a season within 20% of last season (hopefully 20% better!), his value will still be very high and the Brewers will get extreme talent for him. He looks to me like the kind of player who is going to have lots of warts throughout his career---sort've like BJ Upton (Melvin right now). The kind of guy that can hit .300, 30hrs, steal 60, but never in the same season. I really feel like he's going to be a bit of an enigma. Either way, if he hits .280 with 15 hr's and 50 sbs this season, he's going to cost a fortune in arbitration, so it might be wise to trade him before that starts and his value is at its highest point. I sold in my Dynasty League.

    lol, that was me

    Depth is a really good thing.
  8. pogokat
    It's sort of odd to me that we haven't heard about one of these guys taking reps at 1b or in the outfield. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Pina/Bandy were competing with Scooter for 25th man

    http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=31229 This list is tailored towards dynasty fantasy baseball, but that is tailored towards real world major league values. The BP guys think Highly of several of the Brewers guys that have slipped in other places. Dynasty League values tend to place more emphasis on floors than stratospheric ceilings, so a guy like Dan Vogelbach, who doesn't show up on lists other places, his highly valued here---he's going to be a MLB regular, so he has value, even though he probably won't be a star.

    I think it will be Susac and Bandy...i honestly wonder how much the org. values Pina. he hasn't ever registered to me as much more than org. depth.

    agreed, i dont actually hate the cubs players---their fans are terrible though. Somehow, even though i live 900 miles from chicago, everyone here is a cubs fan. no one cares about the cardinals. Now the cards players, those guys are jerks. yadi Molina is the biggst jerk in all of baseball---well, maybe he's second behind Brian McCann, but you get my point.

    Brewers Record: 81-81 (BOLD!) Playoffs: No Brewers MVP: Braun Brewers CY Young: Zach Davies Brewers ROY: Josh Hader First player traded: Garza Surprise player: Villar is replaced by Hernan Perez in the starting lineup by July (BOLD!) Disappointing player: Villar, obviously World Series: sigh. Cubs over who cares. I'm not watching that happen again.

    this one will hurt them---he's the best pitching prospect they've had in a while, and him having the surgery right now sets him back until mid 2018. major loss.
  15. pogokat
    well Park is owed 10 million and some want to claim him. i think i'd rather have Carter or neither
  16. pogokat
    what about bringing Carter back for less than Park would make? I wonder if Carter would accept a reduced role and paycheck at this point
  17. pogokat
    Hopefully, he's trying to buy a AAA franchise as well
  18. pogokat
    I agree with briggs--- i doubt they trade for anyone. I suspect his beckham guess is a good one.
  19. pogokat
    maybe the brewers brought in Sogard in the hopes Garza attacks him, and then they can void both of their contracts...

    "We don't know" is the answer for every trade value of every player - because every evaluation tool has different values for every player. This would happen with Bryce Harper or Chris Sale or Scooter Gennett. My point was simply to take some data and plug into an evaluation tool. As different tools bring out different answers. Different people like different tools (rWAR, fWAR, WARP) - thus every evaluation of a player is always different. And again, this is plugging in data. It doesn't take into account the intangibles and nuances associated with a person. It doesn't account for the player's injury history, their body type and skill set - all things that may make a team feel a player will age better - or worse - than average. To just plug in numbers and come up with an answer is foolish. So ultimately, every player's trade value is 'we don't know." I disagree. I believe their is a sabermetric formula in the world of MLB that we may not no anything about. And it may even be a dynamic formula that differentiates between teams based on what a team values or devalues in it's ideal world of what it takes to win a championship. I have always felt this formula is out out there. Something that takes into consideration of clutch, all stats, height and weight, ballpark dimensions, hair color, etc. Almost an underground secret society of sabermetric junkies that we are totally oblivious to that they even exist. #sabrgate

    unless i've missed a transaction, the last time the brewers took a player in the major league phase of the rule 5 draft and traded him that same day was in 2006, when they took lhp edward campusano and traded him to detroit for cash. Maybe that's what I was thinking of. At any rate, after reviewing past draft results, I don't see anything involving the Rockies. Marcos Carvajal, 2004

    two thoughts: 1. Dubon seems like the kind of guy who is gonna get a lot of attention as a prospect in the upcoming season---similar to Diaz last year, but 2 years more advanced 2. The Red Sox are about to sign Mitch Moreland, who is basically the same hitter as Shaw, but 5 years older. odd.
  23. pogokat
    Thornburg's results have been all over the map and he's had some injury issues. I think this is selling high---the kind of thing that a lo of us have complained about the Brewers not doing over the past 5 years.
  24. pogokat
    It costs 50k to claim a player. Other than that, what's the harm in trying to throw some guys with potential onto the AAA roster?
  25. pogokat
    LOL. it was Brett walker. i'm done
