    I doubt Wilson has a huge impact on the season but do believe he makes the opening roster. Not so confident he is still here the end of April.
  2. Outlander
    Do you actually think all 23 of these predictions will happen or just hoping to hit on a couple?
  3. Outlander
    Cousins and Strzelecki have about the same amount of success in the majors, same age and project to have pretty similar numbers. I still expect one to be in the minors to star the year.
  4. Outlander
    Not all of those guys are going to be in the majors, most won't at the same time. Anderson will make the team and it will be an upset if he isn't the starting third baseman. The other guys mentioned will get playing time throughout the year but I don't forsee a Spring Training battle between Anderson and anybody else. Only way that happens is if he struggles and then loses his job sometime during the regular season, may even be DFA if that becomes the case.
  5. Outlander
    I would be surprised if this was a battle at all. More like Anderson is playing 3B and plays OF on occasion.
  6. Outlander
    After this past off season with the Brewers nobody can definitively say who has more value. Ruiz got Contreras and if that trade never happened I would imagine nobody here would say Ruiz has the same trade value as Contreras or even Mitchell.
  7. Outlander
    Why would he have to accept, he has an option and is under 5 years service time.

    At this point I don't think they trade Hiura, wouldn't rule out trading Voit. In the end though I believe Hiura makes the team, Voit is added to the 40 man and optioned. Brosseau makes the team as well as a guy that can hit left hand pitching and be the weak side platoon for Winker/Tellez. Would probably go with Toro as the final guy for now. Could be out of convenience being a local guy but Miller seems to always be at events promoting the Brewers so maybe he makes the team somehow. For the guys you listed as on the bubble for pitchers will go with Strzelecki, Guerra, Payamps, Wilson to maintain depth at the start of the year but guys will have to have positive results in order to keep their spot.

    It is unfortunate that Schlesinger indicated they received good grades on the quality of food because I think it is the wurst. The better sound will be nice and he is correct about the fireworks as my kids complained that was gone. I am intrigued by the new Barrel Yard in left field.
  10. Outlander
    I don't see Voit being any better than Hiura so ultimately this doesn't help the team.
  11. Outlander
    I kind of like the cream of the crop mentioned numerous times because it incorporates the cream city aspect of Milwaukee. On the other hand it kind of doesn't make sense for the team since they never won anything, can't wear a crown without be a champion.
  12. Outlander
    I recall it doing the same thing thing a number of months ago when mentioning Kenny Lofton. Curious, does anybody know MLB's stance when mentioning former players? Is Bob Feller referred to as a Guardian.
  13. Outlander
    Would pass, take it year to year with him. He may very well have a decent season but would have my doubts he could replicate again. If he regresses then can part ways after the season.

    Burnes losing in arbitration seems to have gotten a lot of attention beyond Brewers boards like here. For the most part I think posters here know Burnes time here is coming to an end but for other more casual fans it seems like they are now first coming to the realization that the end is near for Burnes and the Brewers. The $750,000 wasn't going to change anything.
  15. Outlander
    Exactly, because this place would be dead without them, especially now. Really don't understand the complaint. If people actually had topics to post about and actually start threads instead of complain, the articles would go to the bottom. Do something about it if you don't like it.
  16. Outlander
    I don't think Winker crowds the outfield any further, just like McCutchen didn't make it any more crowded last year. He is a DH that may have to play OF every once in a while. Love that you have the Suter move as an F, keep that Suter love going until the end. Feliciano had no value, the Tigers were able to outright him to the minors. Developing him is another story. Overall grade is a little high, just don't think it was an above average off season. In order to be above average I really think they need better bullpen pickups. Also, I think it is fair to grade the off season in hindsight. If they give some younger guys opportunities because internal evaluation say they are ready then the grade may be better. If they hive these guys significant playing time and they fail then the front office has to be questioned.
  17. Outlander
    I am fine with no extension, they tend not to end well with the Brewers. However, it would be nice if ownership actually stretched the budget for this 1-2 year window to really go for it. This off season isn't necessarily a failure because one of their biggest weakness was catcher and they obtained a young one in Contreras but even there, question marks remain about his defense and if he will stay there long term. So overall maybe a C+/B- but I'm also not real confident they have any chance at a World Series.

    Pinch Hitter - Brad Nelson
  19. Outlander
    It is Clancy, it would be a huge upset if Suter wasn't on the RP list.
  20. Outlander
    Regarding the Molitor lot, I am with you. I live in Madison now but Milwaukee most my life and it is the easiest in and out lot. If you don't know the area it isn't right off the highway so many wouldn't bother trying to find. Have had decent luck getting free street parking on south 44th Street right by the park but a lot of employees/ volunteers park there as well so does fill up.
  21. Outlander
    Adames/Woodruff/Urias/Contreras/Burnes I do think this team will have a a couple more 2 WAR players than they did last year, would also say Peralta/Yelich/Winker/Williams/Taylor/Anderson and a rookie hit that mark.
  22. Outlander
    Kind of odd to even mention Khris Davis or Brooks Kieschnick since the National League didn't adopt the DH until 2022. A bunch of guys in Brewers history have played a few games at DH.
  23. Outlander
    I like that Dave May was included as he did not have a nice few years with the Brewers and rarely mentioned. However, can't see Podsednik over Cameron or Cain. Cameron's two years were better than Podsednik and Cain's two best years or his entire run as a whole was better that Podsednik.
  24. Outlander
    That's pretty good that nearly half of the non roster guys last year contributed at the big league level. Also, Luis Perdomo is listed at 0 IP but spent a good chunk of the season with the Brewers.
  25. Outlander
    Yelich played the majority of his games in LF when he was MVP, RF when he was second in MVP the following year. Splitting hairs a bit classifying him as a RF/LF but you should consider his whole scope of work as a Brewers when ranking him as one or the other. If you include him in the RF rankings then fine but if you exclude him from RF as well it is pretty ridiculous.
