    Two more years under control at Woodruff's salary. I'd love it, but that will cost a pretty penny. Luis Pena + Jett Williams + one of Henderson/Gasser + a lower-level pitcher (Meccage)? Am I in the ballpark?

    I disagree. And you said "mediocre", not "great". I disagree with "mediocre". What was the xBA of each of the three infield hits he gave up in the 4th inning? A few feet either way and there's no traffic. And how much time did his offense give him to rest between innings? That has an effect. You don't have to throw hard to be a good pitcher. Plenty of examples of that.
  3. LouisEly
    Because he gave up 1 run in 5 innings? Tough crowd.

    Brewers bats have not given Gasser a whole lot of time to rest between innings

    Not arguing the talent that JA appears to have. But I would think that if the Brewers have to give up a top-10 prospect or two to get impact major league talent, he would be one of the most expendable, simply because if he is limited to LF that is arguably the easiest position to find a quality bat. In the OF he has LL ahead of him, Payne at the same level, Chourio isn't going anywhere for a long time, Frelick isn't a FA until 2030, and if Made/Pena/Pratt all make it then maybe Williams has to move to the OF. You know JA's defense better than I do, but my guess is that all of those guys would be ahead of him defensively. Knowing how the Brewers value defense, he would have to be markedly better at the plate to earn a starting spot over those guys. As for DH, Yelich likely isn't going to be a FA until at least 2030. By 2030, JA will be on his last option year if that's how long it takes to find a spot for him.

    Before people make rush orders for North Shore Adult Diapers, Gasser's last start in AAA: 5 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 6 K, 0 HR, 60 pitches In his last MLB start he threw 89 pitches, so he can probably go 80-90 pitches. Not sure why he only went 60 pitches in that AAA start.

    Nick Herbig, former Badger, got $100M from the Steelers with $42M guaranteed. He had 7.5 sacks last year and 5.5 the year before, but isn't a full-time starter (credited with 11 total starts over the last two seasons).

    That was the case with Jean Segura. There was so much baggage here from the passing of his child that he needed a change of scenery so that he wasn't constantly reminded of it. The Brewers were very supportive of Perkins when his mother passed, but there may be just too much here to remind him of that where, like Segura, it's best to go somewhere else.

    The Brewers are going to maximize the limit of 5x a player can be optioned with their young starters to limit their innings. Starters are really expensive this early in the season. Come late July, if there is still concern, then they will likely add a starter.

    Fischer's K rate at high-A (34% so far this year) is higher than Wilken's K rate his first year in AA after he got hit in the face (2024 - 28%, does not include 2025). Fischer is 22 this year, just as Wilken was 22 his first year in AA in 2024. Wilken only had 150 PAs at high-A, Fischer is currently at 202, so Fischer has already spent 1/3rd more time at A+ than Wilken did. I wouldn't say that Fischer is a sure-fire MLB player if Wilken isn't.

    I'd rather not have to increase the prospect haul we need to give up.

    Find one team that has had every single player do well every single month. The Dodgers have Betts struggling, Tucker and Smith well below career averages, Kim was sent to the minors, and they have a backup IF with 47 PAs and a .570 OPS.

    This. I think the biggest reason MKE has been outperforming expectations/projections is because of team chemistry. They've made it a point of bringing in guys that aren't going to be a negative clubhouse presence and who are complementary to their core pieces. They're in first place with the 5th most wins in baseball. They're not likely to change 25% of their roster. I could see them bringing in a 3B and maybe a SP depending on what happens with Woody/Priester/Henderson health-wise. Getting Woody/Henderson/Koenig back can push Patrick back to the pen, Sproat back to AAA, and DFA Woodford, and then the bullpen is set. Getting Lockridge back will likely replace Perkins. Then it's just finding a 3B and maybe a SP/innings eater. You can have one Ortiz in your lineup; it's having Ortiz, Rengifo, and Perkins that hurts.

    Brock Wilken hasn't played since Wed 5/27. One thing I found out recently is that after he came back from getting hit in the face in 2024 he was still having issues with depth perception and had eye therapy done in the off-season. I assumed he was still having some recovery issues, but didn't know that he had to have eye therapy that off-season. It worked, and he was back to his old self in 2025. I wonder, given the start to this season, if the depth perception issues have resurfaced. Many eye injuries never fully heal, if they heal at all.
  16. LouisEly
    I don't know about that. It would make the bullpen very LH dominant: LHRP: Ashby, Hall, Koenig, Drohan, Zas RHRP: Megill, Uribe, Anderson Have to assume Patrick is in the rotation for the time being with the injuries to Henderson and Woodruff. I think Zas is the odd man out. Drohan needs to stay to have a long reliever for Patrick's and Crow's starts.

    Not this year. Winning a championship is hard.
  18. LouisEly
    Highly unlikely. But the O's do have a familiar name on the roster - Weston Wilson. Wilson has played over 2,000 innings at 3B in the minors and sports a career .744 OPS in the majors. Don't know if he's good enough at 3B, as he has a career .949 fielding % at 3B in the minors, but has a higher .977 fielding % in over 1,000 innings at SS in the minors.

    If Toronto stays out of it, Ernie Clement. Slightly below average offensively, but above average defense at 3B. 1627 innings at 3B, B-R has him at +25 defensive runs saved above average. Got moved to 2B when they signed Okamoto and Toronto also has Addison Barger. A .700 OPS isn't anything to write home about, but it's a lot better than Rengifo/Hamilton. Only ~10% K rate on his career. 30 years old, so he is what he is. Not a FA until 2029, so they can keep him until two of Williams/Pratt/Made are ready and then flip him. Also looking at Texas - if they stay out of it, one of Josh Smith or Ezequiel Duran. Pretty much the same player profile as Clement, but slightly younger. If TOR and TEX get back in it, Nick Gonzales of PIT. Already 27, hasn't broken out, don't know if he's in their long-term plans, but could use a change of scenery. Not a FA until 2030. All four would cost a little more because of multiple years of control left, but once two of Williams/Pratt/Made are ready they can flip them for assets.

    They've been building him back up in AAA. I'd be willing to bet that his use in the majors is directly related to Woodruff, Priester, and now Henderson being injured and unavailiable. If they were healthy, I highly doubt you would have seen Gasser in the majors already this year. Henderson and Crow are also coming off of injuries, so they can't ride those horses too much too early in the season. Need to be careful with them, too. Looking at the 40-man, the only options left are Gasser and Carlos Rodriguez. I'd go with Gasser over Rodriguez. It's two spot starts that they needed someone for; let's not get carried away that he's a core part of the rotation.
  21. LouisEly
    Should the Brewers have been able to foresee Gasser getting injured? Because he sure looked good in 2024 before he got hurt. Some of us "apologists" don't believe in giving up on someone after 42 IP in the majors, and know that it can take a while for a guy to fully come back from serious injury.

    30 years ago tomorrow, Claude Lemieux intentionally drilled Kris Draper into the boards from behind, causing severe injuries that required reconstructive facial surgery. Lemieux was only suspended 2 games, and played in the Stanley Cup Finals with the Colorado Avalanche, who won the Stanley Cup. Today, Claude Lemieux died by apparent suicide at age 60.

    Book it. Moustache's are in with today's young men, right?

    https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/48903380/sources-nba-bog-votes-expand-lottery-disincentivizes-tanking How much of "tanking" is on the teams, and how much of it is players giving a half-arsed effort once they are out of contention or being on a bad team? This is a league that has had to put into place rules about players sitting out nationally televised games because they want to rest. What rules are there going to be to penalize players for just going through the motions or quitting on their team?

    This didn't age well 🙂 I caught the 3rd period of the game last night. Montreal looked absolutely lost. Looked like Carolina was doing the hockey equivalent of stealing signs. I wonder what type of viewership a Las Vegas - Carolina cup final will get.
