    Who would've thunk it... Best 3b in the Central ;)

    I gotcha. I guess my response is that if we trade Rhys for DJ it would likely be Mona that gets released. So would I rather have Rhys/Mona or Vaughn/Lemahieu on the roster .. and I guess I would rather have Rhys/Mona because Mona can play 3rd and Vaughn needs to prove it beyond 10 at bats that this all was Chicago's fault. If Vaughn hits for 4 more weeks.. maybe we can revisit. Also, let DJ clear waivers and just grab him!

    Money could be an issue here? He is still owed roughly $12-$13mil this year and has a player option for $25 next year that I'd assume he will exercise. So in theory we could send Bauers/Cortez+ but we would be $8mil-ish light. So if the Yankees sent us ~$8mil we would be square in '25. Assuming he replaces Rhys next year we would be paying $8mil more for him next year than what Rhys is getting now. Would Bellinger be a QO candidate after the '26 season?

    You know, I'm coming around on a 7 man rotation format. I think it makes sense to trade Quintana and I'm for it if it works ... but Jose Quintana is going to win us playoff games. There is some pixie dust to this team and there are not 3 other guys I trust to start a Game 4 for us more than Quintana. In the last 72 hours now I've swung to wanting to keep him and resign him to a modest raise for next year. Mis is going to be on a pitch count down the stretch and Cortes is coming off of injury and their styles contrast so wildly... we should pair those two up? Let Miz throw gas for 4 innings and get a lead. Bring in the goofy soft tossing lefty to get us through the next 3+. We kind of need a long man out of the pen anyway to pair with Hall ... we should jettison Easton and bring Patrick back up for that role and he can be a safety for Priester should he need it. Let the 3 other vets have their usual schedules. Is this crazy? 1) Peralta 2) Mis/Cortes 3) Priester/Patrick 4) Quintana 5) Woodruff

    I have no ill will towards Civale - he was trying to do what he thought best for his career/pocket book BUT had he just taken a deep breath and let the situation play itself out we would have very likely traded him before 8/1 and he would have gone to a contender who needed rotation depth. Possibly he could have been starting in a playoff chase. Instead he spoke up for himself (which is fine), ends up on the 2nd worst team in baseball and has struggled, making him untradeable now? So he will have to remain in the rotation and turn this around in Chicago.. I'm wondering by betting on himself and speaking up if he is going to end up costing himself millions?

    I understand what you are saying but let me think out loud here for a second. You are asking if we should trade our starting first baseman to the Yankees for their backup 2nd baseman that they just released who has said he can't play 3rd anymore... in hopes he will start at 1st base for us to replace Hoskins? Or are we trading Hoskins so DJ can play 2b and Turang can move to short and then Bauers/Vaughn will handle the 1b duties? I am not sure either one of those scenarios makes us better and I would argue both make us worse. The Yankees would also need to send us like $14 million or something to cover the difference. I know we are just making up trade scenarios for the exercise of it .. but I don't think we need to try so hard to force a trade on this team. We should only be making trades that are clear upgrades... sometimes not making a move is the right move.

    What?
  8. liveforoctober
    okay, who wants to be the hero? Somebody better step up this inning.. Don't make Vaughn do it again in the 11th.
  9. liveforoctober
    Perkins/Hoskins
  10. liveforoctober
    Sometimes you just have to say the fun stuff out loud.
  11. liveforoctober
    Confirmed.
  12. liveforoctober
    Folk hero status incoming for a certain balding first baseman..
  13. liveforoctober
    The Dodgers cannot contain Vaughn's bat. If we are within one come the 9th we are going extras.
  14. liveforoctober
    come on young man, have yourself a moment.

    Oh Durbin with an infield hit? Never would have guessed it..
  16. liveforoctober
    I'm going to believe walking Ohtani and Smith saved us 2 runs. I know I'm wrong, but it is what I will believe. Also, Mookie Betts hitting a sac fly on a 2-0 pitch seems like a loss for the Dodgers. We have a chance now when we maybe shouldn't, lets steal this one.
  17. liveforoctober
    The Vaughn pinch hit go ahead home run next inning is going to hit like crack..
  18. liveforoctober
    I think that's plausible but we would be dealing from the younger arms obviously (Henderson, Myers, Patrick) and not the old lefties in this case.
  19. liveforoctober
    It would have to be wildly creative. I just can't see them only giving the ball to Peralta once a week (and often once every 8 days with a day off) ... under utilization can mess up a guy's effectiveness just as much as the alternative. The piggybacking is much more plausible and a trade seems more likely.

    Nestor for Devin Williams, who says no? :)
  21. liveforoctober
    The Yankees do make the most sense for Nestor if a team were going to take a chance on him given the year he has had because of the obvious history.
  22. liveforoctober
    I just can't see a scenario where the Brewers would take on another $100mil+ contract for someone over 30. I suppose if the Braves sent along like $50 million in the deal ... but then we would be dealing our entire farm system and we'd be getting Olsen's age 32-36 years.
  23. liveforoctober
    This proposal actually upset me.

    Re: the Brewers getting on base but not having substantial OPS numbers ... I would love to see team numbers league wide for infield hits. I'd be far more shocked if we aren't leading the league than if we are. Every time I turn the tv on Durbin is beating out a swinging bunt to 3rd. Everyone except 1b and C (and Ortiz I guess but that's another issue) seems to be reaching base on a < 70mph EV swing daily...
  25. liveforoctober
    Man, I've not a seen a more obvious "hey, do you want a starting job and a multi million dollar contract next year or no?" situation than what Andrew Vaughn was just handed. Cheering for him and us.
