    How long were you a scout?

    I'm not sure that makes sense. If both Cadiz and Lauridsen told MKE they were not going to sign no matter the money we offered ... should we have distributed the rest to the guys who already signed to an agreed upon number just so we could say we spent it all?
  3. liveforoctober
    wow, we signed both the 19th and 20th rd prep arms?
  4. liveforoctober
    one down. let's go.

    Josh Adamczewski at some point, I think, is going to be added to this list whenever we talk about our middle infield guys. I do know there are levels to prospect hype... but he just hits and hits and hits. It might be a shrewd move by an opposing GM to fight for Pratt and then "settle" for Josh.

    I should let OP clarify because I only think I know the xHR stat .. but I believe it compares every ball hit to ballpark layouts. So in the Vaughn example ... he has 80 career HRs but if all of his batted balls were in MKE he would have 105 of them, etc. This is kind of an interesting little find. I would love to be the nerd (respectfully) that the Brewers hired to simply spend their day perusing the BS site to find the guys who would perform much better in MKE vs their current divisions. Also, the BaseballSavant page is dangerous. You can go down some gnarly rabbit holes. For example, Cal Raleigh has 41 home runs this year but he has hit 51 baseballs that would have been a home run in at least 1 park.

    Well I'm definitely giving Arnold partial blame for this thread. So to answer to original OP's question ... right about now.

    I'm going to enjoy my summer man even if it's 95 degrees with a heat index over a million today. Even if it pours rain for a few days or if we get weeks of cloud cover. It's going to be a great summer. Because I like summer. That doesn't mean I wouldn't love for it to be 80 degrees and sunny with a slight breeze everyday. You know what else I'm not going to do? I'm not going to walk around shouting into a megaphone how it isn't 80 and sunny everyday, trying to ruin everyone else's enjoyment of the season to somehow prove I know what the best summer actually is?

    So where is your line on this year's deadline to acquire someone? If the Diamondbacks ask for Jesus Made in exchange for Suarez, would you do it?
  10. liveforoctober
    I'm just about ready to give Woodruff the ball in game one of whatever playoff series we end up in.. But if he shows up today and resettles us... I might just put that in ink.
  11. liveforoctober
    So if the Brewers get Suarez this year and get knocked out of the playoffs in the first round again by someone what will your shtick next year be?
  12. liveforoctober
    You calling out others for having bad attitudes is the "pot calling kettle" final act this thread needed. This thread has gone off 18 rails. Lock it up and put it on the hall of fame.
  13. liveforoctober
    Assumingly this is will be coupled with incoming Mears news. EDIT** Ahh sorry markedman5, I skimmed and didn't see your post already picking this out. My apologies.
  14. liveforoctober
    I have no idea what you think we just came to an agreement on but I do understand what is happening. Be well! Go Crew!
  15. liveforoctober
    How do you imagine the conversation goes in the owner's room if Arnold walks in and asks for a bump in spending this season to add payroll for the stretch run? Do you reckon Mark A. stands up and tells them the new spending floor/ceiling, and they follow his lead? Do you think he follows the majority rule?
  16. liveforoctober
    Real question for you, how much of the Brewers do you think Attanasio owns?
  17. liveforoctober
    I don't think I've ever seen an umpire miss 50% of the pitches in an inning before.
  18. liveforoctober
    I think it will be a quiet deadline for the Crew. I'll say we do something low-key like a Bryan Hudson for Carlos Santana + cash or something like that.
  19. liveforoctober
    They can do both!
  20. liveforoctober
    I don't think we are going to pay up for Suarez... but I won't be the happiest if Chicago gets him and this is a step in that direction.
  21. liveforoctober
    Unsurprising but the Orioles are officially open for business. This also sets up the lefty reliever market a little. Mets sending their #19 prospect and another ticket.
  22. liveforoctober
    There is little precedent to a guy on an innings limit being a top of the line starter during a playoff push as far as I know. Others probably have better examples but the most glaring one that comes to mind for me is Strasburg with the Nationals and they shut him down. I have no inside knowledge of anything but I'm not expecting Miz to be there come playoff time. Woodruff I would think is good to go.
  23. liveforoctober
    You just answered your own question. Real quick recent example when we had Wiemer, Frelick, and Mitchell all together. Easy when they are all mashing in the minors to say "trade away for help" ... but not many would have picked Frelick as the survivor of that trio. Had we traded away the depth early I'm guessing we would have traded Sal and Joey... Mitchell would have stayed? Had we traded Sal and Joey for early rentals that move would have hurt us long term. Instead we let the situation play out, Sal becomes a half decade starter - we get a playoff push piece last year for Wiemer and Mitchell is a TBD. The non sexy but prudent move is often keeping the depth and letting the players decide who is going to make it ... because if you start deciding yourself who will make it and who won't and you are wrong ... you turn into the Rockies. It is really easy to sit here right now and say "just trade from depth and get the guy who will help you win the world series" ... but you are gambling on about 6 levels that you can actually do that. Would love to hear who you think we should trade and for whom though.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't know that I have expectations that Gasser will help the big league club this year as a starter?... Especially not in August. I'm hopeful for after, just not expecting. Using Woodruff as an example, (I know he had an odd set back or two) ... Woody threw 42 minor league innings over 10 appearances before being back. Even if we cut that in half and say RG will make 5 starts ... That is a full month from now, We are almost to September and that is also assuming he is as effective as when we saw him last. Who knows! Cortes I'm expecting to be ready and to be shoved back into the log jam... Gasser is an unknown to me.

    I didn't mean to offend man. You said you wanted a CC type of acquisition, and I wasn't sure if you knew we had to take on his contract as well because that wouldn't be possible in this scenario. Cheers.
