    They still have Brosseau against lefties if they don't want to play Anderson against lefties all of the time. More concerned if his overall numbers bounce back to career norms. However, like others have indicated, his salary does not preclude the Brewers from moving on and going a different direction.

    If Hiura isn't a fit on this team and there are no takers it might make sense to DFA Hiura, if he doesn't accept the assignment he doesn't get paid his $2 million.
  3. Outlander
    As it stands it is Caratini/Brosseau/Hiura and one of Toro/Miller/Frelick/Turang/Perkins as the last guy. Will be interesting to see if they still end up trading Hiura. Urias can certainly be the backup SS and starting 2B so no need for Turang to sit on the bench.

    That playoff game in 2008 was the most electrifying crowd I have ever been at for the Brewers. I guess a drought of 26 years will do that. Then the crowd was dead the next day with Suppan giving up a leadoff Homer and they still pitched Gallardo late in the game.when it was over.

    Fielder and Cooper should be clear 1/2, a debate could certainly be made between the 2. I remember being in grade school when Brock played and everybody thought he stunk, certainly not great statistical analysis but I have never heard or seen anybody consider him to be very good. He fell 42 plate appearances short of being in the Brewers Wall of Honor, only Tommy Harper was closer without qualifying.

    Considering some assortment of Burnes/Woodruff/Peralta/Adames/Contreras have to be 1-5 I would agree with the list for the most part. Since this is about how valuable the player is to the Brewers organization I would think Yelich would be somewhere in the 8-10 range as he is still the face of the franchise, likely would be the number one answer if a Family Feud type question was asked of a 100 random fans outside the stadium. This will likely be the lowest Chourio will be for a long time but okay at 7 right now.. Agree with Winker on the list because the Brewers are pretty much counting on him to have a bounce back season. I think Ashby can make a strong case to be on the list, clearly they targeted him as somebody they will count on for a long time and somebody to take over for Woodruff/Burnes when they leave.

    He was not optioned in 2021 or 2022 he has an option. Not real interested though, 31 and poor defense.
  8. Outlander
    Totally disagree, they traded Ruiz straight up for an All Star that won't be a free agent for a number of years. If the casual fan even knows who Robert Gasser is they know who Contreras is.

    One specific article that I recommend having in its own forum are those Crew Throwbacks that Reilly does. I think it would be nice to have all of those in one place. I do enjoy reading those but is kind of out of place from the other articles because I don't know if they are there really to generate discussion. Maybe even have one pinned in this separate forum where it would show a list of all player articles done and you can click a link to read an article on a player you are interested in.

    The weight does not fall on Gasser to prove it was worth trading Hader. They received Contreras and everybody knows it, if anything there is less pressure on Gasser since they received an All Star for Hader in the end.
  11. Outlander
    There would be pretty much nothing on the main forum without the articles. There isn't exactly much going on with the Brewers right now.
  12. Outlander
    The Mariners said that but then they traded him. There is a risk with counting on Winker to be the every day DH but considering the potential I think it is worth it, certainly not a sure thing though. Wouldn't surprise me one bit to see him on the IL more than he is active.
  13. Outlander
    He would be a useful player if he could hit lefties because he then could play 1B/DH/2b platoon but there isn't much evidence he can do so at the major league level. As it stands now Tellez, Winker maybe even Turang could hit better than him against lefties so not a lot of reason to have him on the roster. If the team and Hiura think it is fixable that is great but doesn't seem like a good plan to count on that.
  14. Outlander
    They still need another right handed bat so yes he would fit but the Brewers are not going to take him on at that salary.
  15. Outlander
    Good to see Max Lazar turning things around. Was never able to bounce back from that COVID season that derailed his development, hopefully his time in Australia is a sign of things to come in 2023.
  16. Outlander
    They could really use another right handed bat that can hit lefties as 1B/weak side of the DH platoon/backup OF. Wil Myers, Adam Duvall and Justin Turner should all be targets. We shall see if any are in the Brewers price range.
  17. Outlander
    Maybe the Brewers have discussed Murphy with the Athletics and Ruiz was in those discussion. A deal couldn't be worked out so asked the Braves to send something to Milwaukee to get Ruiz.
  18. Outlander
    A nice thing about this trade is it doesn't increase the payroll. Can still add.
  19. Outlander
    Yeager is at .8 in their system.
  20. Outlander
    Reviewing the Brew on Twitter indicates only Ruiz leaving, that is a heck of a deal if true.
  21. Outlander
    Adames would be a huge overpay so not worried about him.
  22. Outlander
    Right now the Brewers are getting about 38 and giving up only about 5. Somebody big is exiting the Brewers organization
  23. Outlander
    I think the Brewers got a little lucky with Wong last year, he declined rapidly defensively and had a great offensive year that he can likely never repeat ever again. Upside is higher with Winker, he was a 900 OPS guy before, not sure he will ever get there again but being in the 800 range would be a real boost for this lineup and a huge upgrade over McCutchen. I don't doubt Winker had a bad attitude last year being hurt all of the time, I'm sure it was frustrating. However, as a 29 year old upcoming free agent he has a lot to gain by having a good year. Not only would he need bad character, he would also have to be an idiot not to do everything he can to have a successful 2023. I truly believe the Brewers will get the best season Winker will have for the rest of his career.
  24. Outlander
    I think Ashby and one of Mitchell/Taylor/Turang is fair for Murphy. If the Brewers are out of their window after year 2 could trade him for some pretty decent prospects too. Of course the Brewers are not going to offer Hedbert Perez for Pina, the Braves will be lucky to have somebody take him for nothing. Also agree on Feliciano, not a lot of love, just that this is his last option year so he needs to show he can be a major league caliber player.
  25. Outlander
    Absolutely, I hear the extension talk a lot but don't believe it will impact current year payroll much at all, It doesn't make much sense to dump payroll this year to sign guys to extensions. It is the long term commitment that is the risk for the Brewers. Yelich isn't really a bad contract for 2023 it is more that he will be taking a big chunk of the payroll into the late 2020's.
