I am interested - that gives me a chance to go to the game

It was an impressive season, but IMO was outdone two years later by LaVel Freeman who slashed .395/.467/.627 in 602 plate appearances in that same hitter-friendly El Paso stadium. Since the modern era of the Minor Leagues began in 1963, just one batting qualifier in an affiliated full-season league has hit .400. For that effort, Freeman was given all of three plate appearances in the majors. You know, because they had to give plate appearances to Mike Felder and his .623 career OPS (73 OPS+). Excluding Dudley Field, while it was short-season rookie ball, in 1997 Jake Kraus slashed .390/.487/.610 with 38 BB and 15K(!) in 300 plate appearances split between Ogden and Helena. -
Fernando Vina will always be known for stealing my friend's girlfriend. My friend was on the baseball team at UWM and was driving a 1979 Ford Fairmont. Vina was on the Brewers making six figures. Early life lesson on how (most) women go for fame and money.

I don't think they had the scholarships available those years for more than one. They took five in 2020 and four in 2021 plus two transfers with >1 year of eligibility - that's 11 of 13 scholarships. Neath being injured also hurts the depth. Hodges hasn't seen game action in two years - he redshirted last year and opted out of his 2020 senior year due to COVID.

Wahl was a little bit rusty the first half... Hepburn needs to be more aggressive. I've seen at least 3-4 possessions the last two games where he had a clear path to the basket from the perimeter and he didn't drive to the rim. Seemed afraid, not sure if it is getting blocked or not knowing how to use his body to shield defenders from behind, but he has to attack the basket in those situations.

Plus reuniting with Davante Adams. No need for any time to get on the same page, those two can look at each other and know exactly what the other is thinking. Package Bakh in that trade too if LVR has the cap room.

The three items that I ordered on Monday arrived on Friday on three different trucks - one early afternoon, one late afternoon, one mid-evening. There are two Amazon trucks on the street in front of my place right now.

Well, as far as Nashville, the whole Broadway/2nd Ave isn't a place to relax. It's a poop show, but interesting people watching. You can watch trucks pulling hot tubs full of young women in "cheeky" bathing suits drive up and down that stretch. The 12th Avenue South neighborhood is more relaxing - a number of nice bars/restaurants/shops with outdoor patios. One of my best friends who is from WI has a couple of apartments on AirBnB/VRBO in that neighborhood right across the street from Sevier Park. Mexico - sounds like Tulum or Puerto Escondido is your place. One of my team members is from Oaxaca and owns property in PE. It's still under the radar, like Tulum was 10-15 years ago, and cheap. Nice hotels with a pool and a rooftop terrace are $40/night. No big corporate hotels, that's why it's cheap, but it's a big international surfing destination. You can fly into PE, connecting in Mexico City. I have not heard good things about Miami lately - thug central. Another place that's close to you that might fit what you're looking for is Pacific Beach/Ocean Beach in the San Diego area.

If Rodgers is back, Jones isn't going anywhere. Jones was 9th in the NFL in total yards from scrimmage this past season. The only players ahead of him were Josh Jacobs, Derrick Henry, Christian McCaffrey, Justin Jefferson, Nick Chubb, Tyreek Hill, Saquon Barkley, and Austin Ekeler. Jones was ahead of Davante Adams, A.J. Brown, Dalvin Cook, Travis Etienne, Stefon Diggs, CeeDee Lamb, Alvin Kamara, and... everybody else.

Depends on where you live. If you live in a densely populated area in a building with a lot of people who have Prime or on the same block as a lot of people who have Prime, you get almost everything in 2-4 days anyway depending on which warehouse it's coming from because the trucks are always on your block. I don't have Prime and I ordered a couple of things on Monday; they said delivery between Saturday and Wednesday of next week, but everything is coming tomorrow. I can't think of a time when I ordered something from Amazon and it took more than 5 days to arrive. I bought a physical Amazon gift card as a birthday present for my nephew and it came the next day.

Problem is they only have nine picks, and three are in the seventh round which you can't really count on to contribute. With their first six picks they are going to have to find at least one S, TE, WR, DE (Clark, Slaton, and Ford are NTs, only DE is Wyatt, Slayton was on the practice squad all year for a reason and Ford never saw game action all season for a reason), and Edge rusher. In the 7th there's a good chance they might have to double-up on WR, S, and TE. That's eight picks spoken for. In fact, if Amos isn't back they are going to have to double up on safety, if Lazard/Cobb aren't back they will have to double up on WR. Sounds like any future that Savage has is at nickel. All other positions are a luxury.

And defensive end - Lowry and Reed are free agents.

In 2021 A.J. Dillon was 19th among all RBs in total yards from scrimmage. Impressive given that his teammate Aaron Jones was 14th among all RBs. In 2022 he was 27th among all RBs in total yards from scrimmage. Impressive given that his teammate Aaron Jones was 7th among all RBs, 9th overall. Pretty good for a backup. I think he's a little better than "just a guy".

January 2023 International Signings
LouisEly replied to Ro Mueller's topic in MLB Draft & International Signings
Interesting that only two of the top 30 on MLB's list are pitchers, and they are from Cuba and South Korea. Is pitching that far behind in Latin America? Or is it because it takes so long to develop them from the age of 16/17 that they either have to add them to the 40-man before they're ready for the majors or risk losing them in the Rule 5? Given the Brewers inroads in Venezuela, any chance they are in on either of the two catchers, Salas or Duno? -
Still $4.50/gal in my neighborhood. Down from $4.90 a couple of weeks ago. Is WI subsidizing gas or certain formulations of it?

Actually, the biggest reason behind this is that the global competition from so many auto manufacturers (finally) forced all manufacturers, particularly the US-based auto manufacturers, to up their quality game. No more planned obsolescence, because they saw that there was no more guarantee that they would get that next vehicle purchase ("just because they're an American company"). Poor quality perceptions reduced that first purchase likelihood, forcing manufacturers to act. The long-term maintenance costs have dropped significantly because vehicles are designed to last longer. Yes, if vehicle prices were lower more people would buy newer, but there are plenty of people like me who can afford a new car but choose not to because they are not having any problems with their older vehicle. If more people could afford new cars, demand would increase, pushing prices up.. It would have made the chip shortage even worse.

Brewers Acquire Owen Miller From CLE; Feliciano DFA'd
LouisEly replied to Brewcrew82's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Disagreement on topic is encouraged. -
With the impending bankruptcy of Carvana, there's a fear that they are going to have to sell off a lot of or all of their inventory to raise cash which will flood the market and cause prices to fall further. Some are trying to get ahead of that and sell before the market gets flooded. New cars are still hard to come by. My sister and BIL went to Lexus of Appleton around Thanksgiving and they had something like five new cars on the lot.

Three-way trade with A's, Braves; Brewers get William Contreras

The J.J. Hardy trade tree grows another branch. Yet another reason why you don't let assets expire. -

He's devastated -
His nickname should be "The Fan Message Board"

I'm not forgetting anything. I'm simply saying that the Brewers are much more likely to find two more TOR-type starters by trading Burnes and Woodruff like the White Sox did with Sale and Quintana than letting Burnes and Woodruff ride out to a QO and a comp pick, like you suggested, and the White Sox payroll limit has nothing to do with that.
-
I've said this before, but I look back at the 2016 White Sox. They parlayed Sale and Quintana into Dylan Cease, Michael Kopech, Eloy Jiminez, and Yoan Moncada. Burnes and Woodruff can be replaced. It's not impossible. Going with a couple of comp picks is the likely much bigger loss.

If he's watching Essegian he'll see that if he's good enough he'll get an opportunity to show it right away at UW.
