"there is always a limit on how much we can do, and every penny we spend counts toward that limit." EXACTLY! Take Braun's 20 million off this years payroll, and we sign Darvish or Arrieta without hesitation. Braun's contract is always looming, and no matter how anyone rationalizes it, it will/is preventing us from signing a TOR type guy, or two... -
3 for 60 million? I'd take that over 5 @ 80 million every time with a player his age. I get it, that wasn't going to happen.

I had already convinced myself that Brinson was gone, so losing him had no effect on me, it was inevitable it seemed. The sting of Diaz and Harrison will lesson over time, but I was attached to both players, especially Diaz. I'm very happy we were able to hold on to Burnes, Ortiz and to some extent Woodruff (not as high on him as some) so that is the plus in my thought process.

Doesn't that mean.. it's not an overpay? As I’m reading people talk about over pay as if this is 2002, the guys on MLB network are slobbering over the Cain acquisition. Speaking about how he only has to be a 2-win player per year for the contract to be worth it. Hell he could have that in two seasons. We'll see how that plays out in years 4 and 5 of Cains contract. There is a pretty good chance we have that bloated contract on the books when we need to have the money for another player at that time, but will be strapped. I might be wrong, but so could everyone else.

I think it is obvious we overpaid in both transactions, however, that is the market, and DS thought he had to do what he did. You have to pay to play. Are we currently better for the 2018 season, yes. Will this trade make us better in 2020, we shall see.
-
For me it's not underrating him as much as wondering if the difference between him and what we already had was worth trading 4 prospects for. I would have prefered not to have done this deal but not overly fussed about it either. One thing I do like about this is he is the type of hitter that we don't have a lot of. I'm a fan of having different types of hitters in the lineup and we were missing his type of hit tools. Completely 100% agree with you on this. Take away the aspects of the trade and I'm extremely happy that Yelich is a Brewer, he's the type of hitter I wish we had more of in the lineup. Trading 4 prospects for him is what I'm not extremely happy about. Fully agree with both of you, you stated it perfectly.

I just spent the entire evening, the last 3 hours, flipping back and forth between the Major League Forum and Rumors/Transactions forum and had no lag time between posts. Constant outpouring of posts. That was fun... Let's see what tomorrow brings!
-
Santana in CF? Oh boy, no way, no how, not even a consideration. Not now it isn't. Never was.
-
I'd like to see Broxton go for some prospects. Braun in left, Yelich in center, Santana in right. Or Santana in center and Yelich in right. Phillips as 4th OF. Santana in CF? Oh boy, no way, no how, not even a consideration.
-
He is probably conferring with RRR as we speak...
-
You sound like you're on the same roller coaster I'm on. Initial reaction hate it. Calmed down a bit now, and by tomorrow who knows I'll probably love it. Yeah, I did hate it initially, and still do, but what's done is done, and it has to be accepted, we have no choice. Hopefully Yelich makes me forget right off the bat in April, and all will be well. I'll keep a close eye on the guys we lost though, just to see if I was right...
-
I just really thought Brinson would be a center piece in a trade for pitching, not another outfielder...
-
Ok, I admit, I get attached to the guys that come through Appleton. Harrison spent a long time here, Diaz was so awesome here, it is impossible not to feel a bit jilted when he goes. I have no connection to Brinson, but as often as he is hurt, I'd rather he be someone else's problem. Yamamoto was also a fun guy to watch, and was hoping he'd stick too. In the end, I'll get over it, and to be honest, I think the real loss is going to be Diaz, so it will be interesting 3 years from now to see where these 4 ended up. I wouldn't be surprised to see Yamamoto as a solid #3, Harrison and Brinson sharing 2/3 of the outfield, and Diaz being a rookie of the year type of player. They could all also tank, but again, highly doubt it. Admitting I get attached to these guys is the first step in acceptance when they go. lol
-
Nice assessment - I agree. Seems fair Plus Diaz and Hiura can both only really play second. One of them had to go. How do we even know Hiura can play 2B? Diaz stings.
-
So glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. We just gave away 2/3 of our OF and a possible all star 2B. Yes, not a given, but that's a lot of talent leaving us. Farm just took a major hit, hopefully Stearns has a plan to re-stock in a couple more deals. Just don't like it.
-
I feel violated.
-
Ok, that's it for me, I'm retreating to the corner to lick my wounds. DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN! They have raided our cupboards, wonder which pitcher the stole from us? EDIT: Yamamoto
-
Brinson, Diaz and who else, that is the question. Hiura better be the real deal, as we just traded our true future 2B.
-
That can't be it, there will be more... oh man.
-
crap.
-
yup, agreed, and add Diaz, Harrison to that list. My guess is all 3 of them are gone.
-
So this makes you happy, even though you have no clue what we had to give up to get him? Oh boy, this is going to be an interesting night...
-
I can't celebrate until I see who we gave up. I am worried, really worried.
-
My wife "made" me go see Wonder with her last night, a movie that was not on my to-do list. I have to admit, it was great, entertaining all the way through. Tugs at your heart strings a bunch of times...
-
Can you reserve seats on line with that pass, or is it only once you arrive at the theater?
