  1. Make it so. Murphy will give Rengifo another 300 abs if we let him. I love the culture Murph brings to our team, but he can only play the players that we give him. Right now we have almost 10 players that don’t really bring any value to this roster.
  2. I remember Burnes being a highly regarded prospect though. Has Sproat ever been? Seemed like a “‘ second piece or “throw in” to me with Jett being the headliner. we have a glaring opportunity for jet to show the trading Peralta was worth it. I know. Willy hasn’t been an all start this far, but a durable starter putting up a 350 ERA would be really valuable for the Brewers right now.
  3. Agreed. We have made some outstanding trades. But also some duds. sproat, rengifo, and Perkins are just not MLB players. If Ortiz is going to be our guy for defense, I’m good with that, but we don’t have room for him and Hamilton. its time to pull the trigger on Lara, Pratt, and Williams, and we should be working the phones hard for a starting pitcher if Priester or Woodruff aren’t going to be available soon
  4. Yeah, time to send him down to AAA. He just has not shown he has what it takes to be a MLB starter. not sure what our record is when he starts, but I feel like it’s pretty close to an automatic loss
  5. Let’s go Sproat!! Prove to me that 5.84 era and 1.50 whip are a mirage :)
  6. I would agree with this. I would be over the moon if Made becomes this type of player with that value. Given our elite pitching right now and Jackson coming into his prime while we still have William and Bryce, I would do this. it would of course depend on what else they wanted. Yeah, he’s not locked in past 2030… but we might not want to pay for his post-prime anyways.
  7. Not me. I was a hard pass. Not many interesting players available at the deadline last year. could potentially be a bunch this year through. Durban > Suarez… yes, I’m still a Durbin fanboy despite his struggles this year, and yes, I still dislike Siegler
  8. I’m thinking of rebalancing a bit away from tech and harvesting some of the gains over the past 12-18 months. Anyone else thinking of doing the same. was tempted to shift some more into fixed income after the last peak, but I know trying to time the market never works
  9. That would really help our offense. Maybe I have rosy colored glasses, but it seemed like Frelick was a solid spark plug for us in the leadoff spot last year. Ben’s got to get it going before we can bat him lead off again though.
  10. Let’s go Sproat. I want to Gloat. From my boat when I get to vote about the most dominant player who wrote the definitive story of our second victory against the Astros. Don’t bloat and bring a coat, pitch a no hitter, use less than 90 pitches, then come float in the pool.
  11. Vaughn is a platoon player at the moment. I can’t see paying him $10M+ to be a part time player. WC is a better player now and it likely to be for the next 1.5 years. Who cares how good Vaughn is 2 years from now (maybe 1 year from now) when he plays for someone else. i loved Vaughn mania last year, but we need a better full time player like WC
  12. Losing the 2027 season would really stink. I hope both sides don’t let it come to that. there has been positive momentum in the game (LA’s WS wins not withstanding) and it felt like it took years (and Ripken’s special moment) to come back from that.
  13. Why let Regnifo bat there? Inexcusable . Get his sorry arse out of there
  14. I agree with all of your comments. And I agree that a couple Spot starts are no big deal… but i think my original point was… with Priester, Woody, and now Henderson on the IL, we really only have 2 reliable starters (3 if Patrick stays in the rotation). I have no issue with Gasser getting a handful of spot starts the rest of the way. I do think we have an issue if Sproat/Gasser get 40% of the starts over the remaining 100+ games. Given that we might not get Woody or Priester to pitch meaningful innings this year, and we’d probably like to keep Patrick in his elite bullpen role if we can, it probably means that we are likely to need another consistent starter at some point this year.
  15. He's been healthy enough to pitch in 9 games over the past 2.5 seasons. He'll be 27 on Sunday and has a career 42 innings pitched. Yes, his five game start in 2024 looked exciting, but he was injured almost all of last year, and looks lousy this year (i get he's rehabbing)... This might be his ceiling (as it appears it was for Durbin and Collins) If Priester doesn't pitch at all this year at the MLB level and then comes back in gets shelled a couple times while walking half the batters he faces, I'll feel the same way, but atleast Priester pitched a full solid season and had a top tier pedigree. I want Gasser to do well. I just don't think we can win the #1 seed (which last year proved is vital for us to have a shot at the World Series) if two of our pitchers (Gasser and Sproat) are only giving us short outings, with a 6 ERA, and a WHIP of 1.50. Why not use Gasser out of the bullpen to help him "ease back" and once he demonstrates success at being able to throw strikes and get outs, then we gradually stretch him out the next time we have a rotation opening.
  16. Freddy Peralta (just to watch heads explode) we roll with some combo of Miz, Harrison, Patrick, Henderson in the playoffs…. but Peralta replacing Sproat or Gasser gets us the 1 seed. plug in Jett, Pratt, and Lockridge and I think we clean up the black holes in our lineup.
  17. If we could trade Gasser and Hall for Peralta, not sure how anyone could argue that this wouldn’t make our team better. hell, well even throw in Rengifo and Hamilton for free 🤓 with a healthy QP, Woody, Miz, Harrison, and Henderson (and crow in reserve, we don’t need Peralta), but given Spoat and Gasser’s struggles, having Peralta replace them in the rotation easily makes this team better
  18. 100%. The Burnes and Hader trades were disasters. A one-year 5 WAR player is much harder to find than a 5 year 1 WAR player. the trade of Ruiz for Contreras is an A++++ I think the Gasser hype (for a guy who has never really shown much) or the Gasser apologists are trying to justify what was an awful Hader trade.
  19. I agree that Miz has passed Skenes this year, but so has Sanchez. If Sanchez breaks the scoreless innings record, he’s pretty much a lock for CY imo
  20. Totally agree that we need an upgrade on the left side. Given how bad those 3 have been, an upgrade should not be that difficult or expensive to find. arguing we don’t need an upgrade is one thing, not being willing to pay a top 5 prospect is another. i would think most would agree we should bring up one/multiple of the kids in early June (past Super 2). Give them a shot to see what they can do, but still plan (for at minimum) 1-2 2018 type trades to address the infield and most likely bringing in an outfield. our midseason relief trades have rarely panned out, so I’m comfortable with what we have there. Maybe move Sproat to the bullpen, especially as we get to the late season and don’t need a 5th/6th starter
