    I realize your schtick on this board is argument and conflict, so it probably does me no good to reply. I typically enjoy your posts and your point of view, but it sure does seem that you have a lot of bad days and come here to make yourself feel better. Joking of course... In regards to what you said above, again, I was feeding off another post that wanted Joey moved back to 3B so Collins could take over 2b, and Turang to SS. If that is what the other poster was referring to, that is why I said the smart move would be to do that. THAT IS NOT WHAT I WANT, I want Durbin to stay at 3B where he more than earned another shot at the position. I DON'T want Collins moved to the IF, and would rather keep it the way it was last season if we are intent on keeping Ortiz at SS.

    Possibly true, but we aren't going to keep all those guys, just no room for them all. My real point is that I think Areinamo could have been traded for a lot more than a 2 month back-up catcher. He has to have more value than that. He could have been involved in a much bigger trade than we dumped him for. It just felt like he had no value to us, so we traded him off for next to nothing for unknown reasons. We also have a possible log jam at 1B with Adams and Burke. We are rich with minor league players, which is a good problem to have , but some are going to have to go, I'm just hoping that when that time comes, we get impact players that will help us win it all not back-up players.

    I have no interest in moving Turang to SS just to move him. I was feeding off the other posts that were mentioning moving Turang to SS and Collins to 2B, and Ortiz to 3B. Yes, I get it, doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I think Durbin has earned a starting position one way or another and see no reason to move Collins to 2B when he plays a great LF. As far as Mitchell, mentioning him fit my post, no other reason.
  4. TURBO
    Not based on the above post, but I truly think we are going to regret trading Areinamo for a couple months of Danny Jansen, who barely saw the field.
  5. TURBO
    Why should Collins play 2B if Turang moves to SS? Have we seen Collins at 2B with the Brewers yet? Durbin has done everything to remain a starter on this team in some way. Seems to me the smart line-up would then be Ortiz at 3B, Turang at SS, and Durbin at 2B. Collins can remain in the OF along with Chourio and Frelick. Of course Mitchell coming back throws a monkey wrench into that plan, but no sweat, he'll be on the IL by the middle of April...
  6. TURBO
    From the Yankees to the Mets? Out of the frying pan and into the fire...I hope he has his head on straight.
  7. TURBO
    Fixed it for you. I feel bad that so many are still clinging to the hope that Mitchell will suddenly be healthy for a season and contribute. I've given up, and don't consider him for anything, at all.
  8. TURBO
    Nope, none...not this off season, maybe next. Trading William would crush this team, and we'd have no one to take his place that we can 100% count on. Just picture this line-up as it sits without Contreras. Disgusting.

    ...and water is wet.

    I hope we intend to keep Arnold around a long damn time. PAY THE MAN!

    Francys Romero reports that Tatsuya Imai will meet with MLB teams in December. Romero says that the 27-year-old will head stateside in December before meeting with “several clubs.” Imai has been one of the best hurlers in Japan over the past couple of years and is coming off a 2025 campaign that saw him forge a 1.92 ERA and 178/45 K/BB over 163 2/3 innings with the Seibu Lions. He’ll be looking at multi-year deal with his new club, with some believing he could get the highest AAV of any free-agent starter this winer. Source: Francys Romero

    Meh. If you read this thread from start to finish, it appears that people are defending the guy far more than he deserves. His 2025 season offensively was an absolute train wreck. Whatever, see it as you will...
  13. TURBO
    It's a strawman's argument to say that Joey wasn't very good in 2025, and it would be nice to make an improvement there? Ok then.
  14. TURBO
    I think there are many folks here who have forgotten just how bad Joey was at the dish in 2025. Remember all those times coming to bat with bases loaded? It was sickening. He felt like an automatic out most of the season, and we have people here acting like all was fine. I think people can drop all the stats they want, but if you watched as many games as I did, you can't possibly think his 2025 season was passable. It wasn't. It's fine to compare him to other all glove and no bat SS, but our line-up can't absorb players like him, We don't have the pop to make up for it. Yes, he was our #9 hitter, and what can realistically be expected from a #9 hitter, blah blah blah, but that doesn't mean we have to just accept that he was TERRIBLE last year, and not look for a replacement. Finding that replacement is another story all together (and probably a story for a different thread), but just because he was a horrible #9 hitter doesn't mean we can't expect better in 2026 from someone else. It's great that we can forgive and forget, but offensively, Joey is not our answer at SS. Most playoff contending teams would be searching for a replacement, that's just how it is. Can he rebound and be 2024 Joey? Possibly, and if he does, that would be great, but what if he doesn't and we have a re-run of 2025? We seem to want to act like everything in 2025 was just fine. Well, it wasn't.

    Really liked RUNNING MAN today... Great theater flick for sure! It's been so long since I saw the original version, so I can't compare them, but this one was pretty awesome!

    DVD Purge: Coyote Ugly - Goner Couples Retreat - This one is pretty funny - Keeper Commando - One of, if not my favorite Arnold movie! - Keeper The Cowboys - Easily my favorite John Wayne movie of all time! I'm not a big John Wayne guy, but you have to respect the man. This movie takes me waaaaaay back and still holds up! GREAT FLICK - KEEPER!

    Contreras isn't going anywhere. Any offer we would accept would have to be over the moon good. Trading him would have a horrible effect on this team.
  18. TURBO
    Not being absurd at all... Why would the Tigers trade Skubal for Peralta? We'd have to include a ton with Peralta to make them want to do it. Skubal has one year left with Detroit, then he is gone, same as Freddy. The trade makes no sense as there isn't even a remote chance we could resign Skubal after 2026. Doesn't matter what we offer realistically, it isn't going to happen. The only trade that makes sense for us in acquiring Skubal would be a trade that doesn't involve Freddy at all. Filling Freddy's spot in the rotation with Skubal still leaves us a void in the rotation. Having Freddy AND Skubal makes a lot more sense, and in that scenario, we would have to empty some of our top prospects to get Skubal. For a one year rental, it just isn't going to happen.

    Not even close...

    Enter Sveumrules to refute everything you just said with other stats. ;)

    Well, he is a Cubs fan, so... I can see if someone wasn't a fan of the Brewers they could look at his track record and think he is expendable, but we have a lot invested into Mitchell, so I say keep him around and see what happens one more season. I highly doubt many real Brewers fans or the team itself is ready to dump him just yet.
  22. TURBO
    There isn't a chance, not even a slight chance, not a chance in hell that we could get Skubal for Peralta, Perkins and Quero. I mean, this has to be a joke or a troll post to even type up such stuff. *shaking head*

    Born and raised in Southwest WI, now live in the Fox Valley. I never heard the term "bubbler" until I moved here, and it makes no sense. There are no bubbles. We called it a drinking fountain, or water fountain, and that is what I still call it. Bubbler to me is the kind you see in an office, The kind where there is a large replaceable water container, and you push the button to have water dispensed into a little cone shaped drinking glass. When you push the button, bubbles rise to the top inside the water container, hence "bubbler." A drinking fountain, which to me is the correct terminology, makes sense because when you push the button for water, it comes out in a small fountain which the user drinks from. This bubbler thing is just whacky...imo.
