    Arcia already has drawn 20 walks, 5 more than last year in 157 less at bats. In fact, he's drawn more walks than Moustakas, Cain, and Braun. Granted, three were IBB by batting front of the pitcher, but Arcia is showing better plate discipline, something i highly doubted that he'd ever do.

    Hidden in that article was how good former-Brewer Jordan Lyles has started out the season for the Pirates. Granted, it's only 38 innings, but he did throw hard and Pittsburgh got him for pretty much nothing.

    Yep. Wish we still had Miley. That move didn’t make sense to me. I agree

    That's just assuming that the players the Angels would get in return for Trout would turn out to be really good. Prospects are only prospects for a reason. Plenty of highly ranked prospects don't pan out for either mediocre performance reasons or health issues. This is why often when teams trade a star for young players, the team trading the star doesn't end up being happy with the trade beyond the day it was made.

    Think 4-6 mil too low, but if you guys are right and we could get Gio for that we should have signed him yesterday. He’s an experienced above average left-handed pitcher that this team can really use in their rotation. Other than Kimbrell, I can’t think of a move that would help this team more. Woody and his 98 mph bullpen FB soften the blow of no Jeffress. I'd rather have brought back Miley for 5 million than spend that much or more on Gio.

    Regardless where you buy that home and for what amount, it's still an asset, not a cost lit on fire. So say you have to buy a similar home in a high cost of living place vs a lower cost of living place, whenever you decide to sell that home, that home will be worth a lot more when you sell it. If instead we were talking about someone making around 50-60 grand in Milwaukee and had to relocate to LA, while making the same salary, then yea, cost of living can become a big issue. When you are making 25 million a year, not so much assuming you aren't a complete moron with your money.

    No kidding People talking about tax rates and whether Harper may have made more money had he signed a shorter deal elsewhere. He already had made 47 million while playing with Washington to make him set for life with just a shred of common sense and now he's set to earn another 330 million. Regardless of tax rates and cost of living amounts in whatever city, Harper will make almost 400 million for his career. Let the number sink in. 400 million dollars. That's incredible wealth. He could live very comfortably just on interest of that wealth if done smartly.

    Machado didn't care about anything other than the dollar signs. The White Sox offered him a much better deal and have just as bright a future and he turned it down, he wanted the guaranteed money so even if he quits and stinks he gets paid. This is one of the most selfish players in the game and I imagine it is going to end up biting the Padres in the long run. Given Machado would be insanely rich regardless if he picked the Padres or White Sox, if i was him, living in San Diego instead of Chicago would be an easy trump card for me to take the Padres offer. I've been to San Diego and it would be a fabulous place to live for an extremely weathly young man.

    Only if the Dozier of last season is the hitter he'll remain going forward. Instead, it could have simply been a bad season for him. The two seasons prior Dozier posted OPS totals of .886 and .856, with much better OBP numbers and he's only 31, not in his late 30's.

    With teams playing such a large number of their games inside the division, playing in a tough division makes it harder to win say 95 games or more, thus if you don't win that division, Wild Card hopes are lesser. It helps to have a bad team or two that is mainly tanking to rack up some likely easier wins.

    Walker was brutal to start out last year, but in the second half of the season he posted a more typical Walker line of .346/.442/.788

    While ideally a quality everyday player could be found to play secondbase, i have no problem at all with Perez being in a platoon there if needed. The last three years vs lefty pitchers, Perez numbers. 2016-- .787 OPS 2017-- .805 OPS 2018-- .783 OPS So if Stearns acquired someone who to play second that hits righthanders well, but struggles vs lefties, i'm fine with Perez being in a platoon. Just keep his at bats vs righthanders to a minimum. ..and then, on what should be his off days from his platooning with the other 2B, CC will find a place for him at SS, 3B, or OF positions to give others a day of rest. Meaning, Perez would then be a regular, full time player. I just don't trust CC with guys he loves, that get way too much playing time based on that love (IE Sogard and Perez) He's going to be on the roster regardless. At least if he was in a platoon at second, that's less chances for him to play elsewhere. Part of the reason he played as much as he did last year was Arcia hitting like a pitcher much of the year before getting sent to the minors, and then Saladino got hurt, so Perez got a number of starts at shortstop. Bottom line, Perez hits lefties fine, so there is nothing wrong with him being in a platoon at secondbase if that were to happen and he'd be really good defensively there.

    They should be asking a lot for Realmuto. He's very good, in his prime years, not injury prone, cheap, controlled for two years, and he plays a position with a pretty limited number of quality players. I'd also demand a lot for him.

    His learning of and then excelling at the use of the cutter was a huge factor in his success with the Brewers. He repeatedly got that pitch on to the hands of righthanded hitters, which resulted in numerous softly hit ground balls. Maybe Miley can't continue commanding his cutter as effectively going forward, but he certainly wouldn't be the first pitcher to turn his career around by learning and mastering a given pitch.

    They're getting Diaz at his absolute peak value, something he's probably not going to replicate again and now are stuck with Cano through his age 41 season. This is hardly a win for the Mets. The Mets are hoping to get 2-3 more good years out of Cano while their rotation is in place and Diaz being one of the best closers in the games as they try to get into the playoff, and then advance once there. They still have time to add a little more to their roster. Obviously though, the health of that rotation through the season will play a big factor.

    So then which managers in game decision making were manager of the year worthy in comparison since you are sure multiple ones were better?
  18. danzig6767
    I know i'm probably in the minority, but i wouldn't trade Hiura for Realmuto straight up. That kid i think is going to be a special middle of the order hitter, secondbase is a need position, and he'll be dirt cheap for years, allowing money to be spent elsewhere..
  19. danzig6767
    I don't know how Suzuki is defensively, but his last two years as a hitter 2017--.887 OPS 2018--.776 OPS

    I'd do this in a heartbeat if i was the Cubs and as a Brewers fan, i wish the Cubs had let him walk. Hamels was not only great while with the Cubs, he had a sub-3 ERA in road games with Texas. He just got shelled pitching in that Texas launching pad. I paid attention in the two games i saw Hamels. His velocity is still good, along with his quality offspeed stuff. His run with the Cubs wasn't just a bunch of fluke starts, he pitched great. Plus, it's a low risk decision. Only a one year deal. If he pitches poorly, the Cubs cut ties and owe him no more cash. No brainer for them.

    No chance he got a massive pay day, only players get that. Even most managers make less per year than the majority of players outside of their pre-arbitration years, much less bench coaches who make less than managers. Whatever larger amount Johnson was offered by the Red vs the Brewers offer, that would be pocket change in the grand scheme of the Brewers budget next year and going forward. If/when the numbers come out showing what he got from the Reds, compared to the Brewers offer, i'll be surprised if the difference is more than a million per.
  22. danzig6767
    Usually is and non-managers on a coaching staff don't make millions like the players do. Sure, maybe something else was a bigger reason, but in a situation like this, i'd always bet on money being the biggest factor. This very well was Johnson's best chance to maximize his financial value.
  23. danzig6767
    Moustakas is going to opt out and look for a multi-year deal, something the Brewers should have no interest in.
  24. danzig6767
    It all depends on what kind of money LeMahieu is looking for. If it's affordable, I have no problem giving him multiple years, as he's a guy that can play multiple positions, and fits the need of a guy with a good OBP who puts the ball in play. LeMahieu has a career .311 OBP and .673 OPS outside of Coors Field.
  25. danzig6767
    I don't see any way the Brewers could get away with low balling Hadar in arbitration by calling him just a traditional set up pitcher. That said, as the game is changing in regards to how bullpen arms are being used, it can't only be closers with high save totals getting big money in arbitration, so some sort of model will have to be developed for guys like Hadar and other very good relievers who aren't just used as a closer with save numbers to compare to other closers.
