    My wife is getting a kick out of the wife talk in this thread.
  2. dlk9s
    Lol great post. You're not kidding. My wife is tired of humoring me on this. My wife got so annoyed with me telling her about the Lucroy trade, but she did find the veto situation interesting. Now the trade deadline is interfering with my work and going to the park to Pokemon it up with my kids.

    Evan Grant ‏@Evan_P_Grant 8m8 minutes ago Arlington, TX I'm told Rangers having "productive conversations," presumably surrounding Lucroy

    I guess the fear is that since it seems like the market was a bit cooler than expected for Lucroy, now that the highest bidder is out, that leaves the lower bidders remaining with the Brewers possibly in a position of weaker leverage. But you are correct - it certainly worked out fine with Gomez last year. We'll certainly see soon enough. That is a really weird decision by Cleveland not to guarantee Lucroy will be the starting catcher next year.

    Not that any of it matters, but MLB.com has him at #5.

    Everybody is looking for bullpen help - Boston, Texas, Dodgers, Mets, Giants, Astros, - if you didn't get Chapman, Miller, or Melanin - you're still in the fight. Watch the Dodgers - they have SP depth to deal from. Just for example, check the stats on players 18-22 - that's what I'm looking for, a team just like that. http://m.mlb.com/prospects/2016?list=la As a Virginia fan, Sborz is an interesting guy on that list. He was a dominant reliever for Virginia in their CWS run and now he's a good starter in the Dodgers system. Big guy, IIRC. Almost seems like (if we want to get into silly projections) a guy like Andrew Miller in the sense that if he doesn't pan out as a starter, he could turn into a really good closer.
  7. dlk9s
    Agreed. Even though he's not as "young" as a bunch of other guys Stearns has gotten, I really like what I've read about Greg Allen. He's an OBP machine with wheels. Seems to have real potential.
  8. dlk9s
    If Stearns could have gotten BOTH Mejia and one of Cleveland's top two prospects, I think he would have. I highly doubt he started the negotiations by undercutting what he thought he might be able to get. EDIT: Plus, for all we know, Cleveland was working on the Miller trade at the same time and couldn't offer Zimmer/Frazier because they knew they were offering one of them to NY. Cleveland has given up a hell of a lot to get two players.
  9. dlk9s
    If Mejia keeps progressing well (not that I'm expecting him to just destroy every level of minor league ball like he's been doing), he has an excellent chance to be more valuable than either Zimmer or Frazier. You mention that they play premium OF positions, but seem to ignore the fact that Mejia plays a premium infield position. One of the things that made Lucroy so valuable was that he played catcher. Now the Brewers have a guy that could be his replacement in a few years PLUS got two other players with very nice potential.
  10. dlk9s
    The Lucroy deal falling through would be terrible. The Brewers got some good players for him, including a guy who could be his replacement in a few years. I would imagine the chances are slim that the deal both gets cancelled AND the Brewers are somehow able to turn around and get a better haul for him.
  11. dlk9s
    I can't imagine that the Brewers would let this trade get publicized like this without Lucroy already telling them that he is cool with it.
  12. dlk9s
    I was thinking the same thing, not that this is necessarily "more" than we got for Lucroy, but I just don't get how relievers are commanding so much in return. I feel like this is the market inefficiency of 2016.
  13. dlk9s
    This kind of attitude contributed to the reception you got in the other thread. Want more behind the door info, then keep your mouth shut. Everyone appreciates the information, but in all seriousness, there are rules on this forum: viewtopic.php?&t=4208 I am a member of and used to moderate a forum where people are more free to be condescending and raunchy, which can be a lot of fun at times, but this forum has tighter rules that we need to follow.
  14. dlk9s
    If Stearns required that one of Zimmer/Frazier/Mejia be included, that means he ranks Mejia right up there with the other two. Thus, I am fine with it, unless he and his team are terrible talent evaluators. All things being equal (and obviously they aren't, necessarily), a catcher is more valuable than an OF, anyway. EDIT: Mejia is a top-100 prospect. I'm not sure how many you want. There are 30 teams in MLB, so a top-100 is, on average, one of the top 3-ish players in a team's system. Getting one is really nice. Getting more than one is a bit much to ask.
  15. dlk9s
    Twitter has been pretty entertaining. Stuff like Lucroy to D.C. for Paul Ryan, Lucroy to become Speaker of the House.
  16. dlk9s
    I don't follow minor leagues and really don't know anything about prospects, but just using MLB.com's top-30 prospect list as a guide, that rumored counter-offer to the Mets that was posted above seems pretty darn nice.

    Yup. While I know trading Lucroy makes sense and am excited to see how the trade could shape the team's future, it still stinks to see him go. Will Smith, too - he seems to be a great guy and a fun teammate.
  19. dlk9s
    It's also possible Simmons LIVES IN THE PAST and still daydreams about the 1982 Brewers 34 years later. UGH, GOD! GET OVER IT ALREADY! LET THE CURRENT TEAM HAVE ITS OWN IDENTITY!

    When you open the door, will your mystery team be a dream...or a dud?

    I just hope the team has a personal valet to pack and carry Lucroy's luggage for the next few days.
  23. dlk9s
    Looks good to me.

    That was where Braun got screwed (compared to the other guys who got caught, that is). If his failed test before the appeal wasn't leaked to the public, he would've just ended up winning the appeal without anyone knowing. Of course, he would've later been caught in the investigation, but other guys were, too, and they haven't faced backlash. Braun was forced to defend himself publicly. He and his team didn't go about it perfectly, but at the same time, I can't blame him for lying. I would've lied, too. We all would've lied. He thought he had a good chance to win his appeal, so obviously he wasn't going to say he did anything wrong. Everybody lies until they know they can't lie anymore. OH NOES HE LIED THE HORROR.
  25. dlk9s
    LOL at Braun not being on some ESPN writers' ballots: http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/page/allstar2016_espnnlpicks/espn-national-league-all-stars Of course, one of them is Buster Olney.
