  1. Barring injury somewhere... is this Patrick's last start with us until after the trade deadline? Woodruff is back and I'm assuming he will be given all the opportunities to belong again. Cortes is likely ready to return post AS break and will be back in the rotation... Peralta, Mis, Priester, Quintana, Woodruff, Cortes I would think we are/will be taking calls on Quintana shortly. I guess you could move Priester or Patrick to the pen and have a permanent piggy back with Mis to limit the innings.. but I'm not sure you want to mess with their rhythm like that?
  2. You are comparing Isaac Collins to a guy who has received MVP votes in 8 of the last 10 seasons as your justification as to why he doesn't have enough power. I don't believe I'm the one that's being irrational, respectfully.
  3. I think we will find out a thing or two today about Murphy's plan for Siegler when the lineups are announced. Since getting called up Siegler has gotten both starts against RHP. Durbin against the LHP yesterday. Murphy loves his R/L moves... So if Siegler hits his weight we might have ourselves a full blown platoon over at 3b.
  4. Jose Ramirez didn't lose his entire first full season+ of professional baseball due to COVID. There is a whole draft class or two in '19-'20 range that you cannot use age as a fair comparison.
  5. Your answer is incredibly mature. I remember after the Bucks won the NBA title I was driving home from my brother's house listening to post game local radio. Some guy called in and his comment was "they got lucky it worked but if they have any intention of repeating next year they need to fix their outside shooting.." and that was the ultimate realization for me of what you just said. For some fans it is a pursuit of perfection and nothing less is acceptable .. and because perfection isn't achievable it is simply a forever pursuit.
  6. A few rebuttals... Collins only has 160+ at bats this year thus far. If you factor in a full season of at bats he would be a 15/16 home run guy given current production. If he improves even fractionally he arrives at that 20 number that was mentioned. None of Durbin/Frelick/Turang/Ortiz will be 25+ home run guys but they all have room to add muscle and are young. If they are all 8-12 guys now ... 12-18 isn't out of the question for any of them in the next few years and with the defense they all provide those are quality big leaguers.
  7. Nestor Cortes threw 3 innings of 1 hit ball yesterday for the Sounds. 4K, 0BB. You know with everything going on over the last ~3 months I often forgot about him. Every 4th or 5th day I'd have a "that's right we still have Nestor" moment. The Brewers might be deploying an 8-man rotation coming out of the all star break.
  8. I'm not convinced certain people are actually Brewers fans. You can look at profiles and see all past posts... and when the posting history goes back into May and there isn't a single positive thing that has been said about any aspect of the organization... It leaves it hard to take any opinion as unbiased.
  9. This. I am pretty confident if Sal Frelick started on the mound for us tonight he would look goofy doing it but we would arrive in the 6th inning and he will have given up only 3 hits somehow. He is a gamer. The other two mentioned above are built in that same "chip on shoulder" mode.
  10. I agree. Adding a 6th starter also then pushes Peralta past the Marlins to get the first game against the Dodgers on Monday, would give him the final start before the AS break against the Nationals, and then (pending his involvement in the AS game) he would be aligned to start the first game back from break against the Dodgers again. That feels like the correct chess move.
  11. https://x.com/Brewers/status/1940123250593607803
  12. Yep, I wouldn't have an issue with either if it is between those two. I just am merely pointing out Vaughn has been good since getting here and if he were to get brought up there is merit. Dalbec would likely replace Vaughn on the 40 man if he were the pick, as I'm assuming we wouldn't carry both guys.
  13. Small sample size alert! Vaughn through 10 games is slashing .256/.341/.590/.931 His .931 OPS currently leads the team*. I do think there exists a world where Vaughn for Mona/Siegler is the power bench bat we end up "acquiring" for the stretch run..
  14. I know you are speaking mainly on the 40 man and major league roster... and underwhelming might be a good word for it but I think there will be action out of necessity on the backend of the 40 man.. Looking at the backlog of pitchers starting at the big league level that trickles to Nashville and then to Biloxi ... I'm not sure it is smart to stop the development of your whole system like we will possibly see after the break. Guys in AA who are ready to move up to AAA like Wichrowski, Crow, possibly Kuehner, possibly Hardin already in a month?!?, etc ... Shouldn't be held back. So I look at a guy like Tobias Myers and although I really like him... he might be a guy we can easily replace because we just need one of the aforementioned guys to continue developing appropriately and we haven't lost anything. So we are in a great position to exchange our crazy surplus of arms to add to a place where we might be lacking... Whether that is positional depth in the minors or whether Tobias is the piece used to bring back a major league depth infield piece, etc Tobias being the example used here but whether it is him or Quintana or whomever... Unless we get another injury or two in the next few weeks I do think a domino has to move there.
  15. I don't know if 68 is too high but I am intrigued my Mason Morris from Ole Miss. Plus grade cutter to go with an upper 90s fastball. Seems like he didn't really focus on pitching until this last year or two as well. Command issues seemingly but also just used out of the pen... big kid who could benefit from starting?
  16. I'm excited for the kid. Being a 1st round pick to then being an outcast ... there has to be a little doubt that sets in at some point. Hopefully this is the first step to something fun for him. Also, he should be able to save the bullpen a bunch of innings if and when the time comes. Brooks Kieschnick is wiping away tears right now...
  17. Well Bauers just lost his pitching responsibilities...
  18. We say no pretty quickly I think. This feels like a deal just to make a deal as Durbin and Fitzgerald are redundant. Hall was the main piece of the Burnes deal and we are going to give him up after only 60 innings with us for an infielder who doesn't provide one of the two things we need (another left handed bat) and might not provide the other thing we need (power off the bench)? He would be an upgrade to Mona but it would be silly to lose a piece like DL Hall for a 25th man upgrade. We can upgrade Mona in 16 different ways and none of them cost us a major league arm.
  19. It's crazy all we had to give up was a competitive balance first round pick and 2 non-top 20 Red Sox prospects to get Cy Young**
  20. Except Collins hits right handed and Collins has a higher OPS on the season from the right side than Ward does. If Ward were to come here he would be a late inning pinch hit guy exclusively. He should never start over Collins and you aren't going to DH him over Yelich. The late inning RHB power option to hit for Durbin or Ortiz would be nice to have though.
  21. Of course, but the original poster was saying we should trade Miz this off-season to maximize our return knowing he is going to get hurt someday in the future. So I was just offering the other side of the spectrum and requesting we meet somewhere in the middle..
  22. Nolan Ryan threw 150 pitches at 100mph every 120 hours for 26 years before his arm went. Let's keep Miz around for a few years before we get scared of the what ifs please.
