  1. I'm guessing Stearns phone is quiet as a church mouse right now. Don't think he's gonna do a thing. I think what may happen is to now reassess where they are at in 2 weeks and then if he feels it necessary to make something happen he will then, but tomorrow?? It will be super quiet.
  2. Wilson is likely going to the Cubs..because, of course...
  3. Looks like the Cubs are likely to land Justin Wilson...Lovely.
  4. Victor Carintini goes yard?? Really..?? Only that could happen to the Cubs.
  5. Have some utter patience. Keon Broxton looked the same way and wasn't even playing good defense. And he never came around either..hence why he's back in AAA
  6. No, Stearns made it very clear last night on the TV broadcast that hader is a reliever this year..period. I'd imagine in the middle of a pennant race, they will just call up Woodruff or something..doesn't seem smart, but I don't see a trade on the horizon either.
  7. That's what i thought too, that they were at 39.
  8. I think this is pretty telling, wouldn't you say?? If the A's were ONLY interested in Brinson and didn't like any of the other Brewers prospects, then why is DS so in love with those prospects, and even moreso as fans, why are a lot of people here in love with them?? That is one teams opinion and he has tried to move our better prospects(Ray/Ortiz) and I am sure there are many other ones he has put in trade talks(especially Phillips). The main problem is the fact he doesn't really want to buy big right now so is looking to get a deal vs. paying the price. Also I don't believe anyone here is in love with our prospects. I think all the people wanting to hold onto them want to do so cause they just don't want the Brewers to buy. Those are the people that think even with any moves the Brewers made, they wouldn't be as talented as the Dodgers, Cubs, Nats etc. They would be correct. However, what maybe they aren't thinking about is that unlike the NBA and especially the NFL, in MLB playoffs talent means a lot less in postseason then it does in postseason in the NBA and NFL. Where with those, a vast majority of times the more talented team wins..in baseball anything can happen, and we have seen that time and time again. A little bleeder here, a ball 4 call that should have been strike three, a baserunning mistake, anything can turn a series in baseball.
  9. I think this is pretty telling, wouldn't you say?? If the A's were ONLY interested in Brinson and didn't like any of the other Brewers prospects, then why is DS so in love with those prospects, and even moreso as fans, why are a lot of people here in love with them??
  10. Sellers aren't going to be as turned off as you think by 2/3 of his first pro season of subpar production coming off knee surgery. The same swing, bat speed, tools, etc are still there. To say he's killed his trade value is a massive exaggeration and likely not true. That would be like saying brinson killed his trade value last year with his aa stat line and injury prior to the deal. Its probably an unfair assessment on my part, but it remains true that if Ray were tearing it up in High A this year, the A's are likely far more interested in him. Since he's not, it was Brinson or bust for the A's -- Thus killing the trade. I don't get the A's line of thinking with Brinson or bust though, because they are interested in lessor prospects from the Yankees then Brinson is, and probably even lessor than Phillips is.
  11. I think you deserve the opportunity, what is your 3 day and 2018 plan? Love it! All I'm saying is, as a GM you cannot be afraid to move ANYONE for the right price..I get DS is hesitant to move Brinson for Gray, but if not now, then who would come on the market in the next few years that he would move Brinson for?? I just don't see that guy..
  12. I guess I do and I don't understand the Brewers thinking on this..first off, yes it's early in his career but Brinson has not showed me anything for me to annoint him as the next "great one". In fact, he has a big hole in his swing(much like Broxton does), and his plate discipline leaves a lot to be desired. Further, you have to remember, this is a guy that Texas traded to Milwaukee for a catcher and a bullpen arm. Not only that, but both were essentially rentals and Texas knew that yet were still willing to give up Brinson..you have to ask yourself why that is?? I mean, if Brinson can bring you a young, controllable Pitcher(albeit not a bonafide ace), outside of Brinson's control, I guess I'm just not sure why you wouldn't do that. Especially when you consider that with Derrick Johnson on staff, and his closeness with Gray, perhaps he could get even more out of him then most could. It's not a "win now" move, it's a move to bolster your staff for the rest of this year plus at least the next two at a low cost financially. Most would want more if they were to move Brinson..okay I get that thinking as well, but then you have to ask yourself, what kind of starter do you really think you could get including Brinson in a deal..The true bonafide studs(Kershaw, Scherzer etc) are never going to be traded, and really who would ever be available on the market in the next couple of years(Brewers window), that would be THAT much better than Gray, and you'd be willing to trade Brinson for??
  13. Boy, I just wish the Brewers would get back involved here with Phillips as the headliner..I can't believe the A's wouldn't like him, and I'm guessing Sonny would love to be in Milwaukee with Vogt, DJ etc. https://www.facebook.com/kenrosenthalsports/posts/1464597516939308
  14. I think one of DS's problems is he's not willing to trade Brinson OR Phillips..That's not going to get many deals done David.
  15. A no brainer in the middle of a pennant race is NOT to give a start(s) to a rookie. Go out and get a damn arm...problem solved.
  16. No, but if the Crew wins tomorrow, they gain a game on the Cubs lead heading into this series..that works, ESPECIALLY since the Cubs have 9 of their next 12 against Washington and Arizona coming up. While everyone was going ga ga over the Cubs record since the AS break, no one notes that they played series against the Orioles, Atlanta the Cardinals and White Sox. Not exactly murderer's row..If The Brewers can come out with a win tomorrow, I really think the next 12 will give the Brewers a golden opportunity to regain the lead and build on it some again.
  17. Exactly...was just coming here to post that I think Kinsler would help this LU immensely right now..That and getting Vogt back.
  18. Holy crap...the 27th relief loss of the year tonight. That's a crap ton.
  19. I honestly think this LU is missing Vogt right now..He's a veteran, and I think he'd have delivered tonight at some point.
  20. Shhhh he's everybody's wonderboy around here. Don't go away mad, just go away. I know, he's your boy...I can see why...he's Troutesque clearly.
