    Confirmed.

    Folk hero status incoming for a certain balding first baseman..
  3. liveforoctober
    The Dodgers cannot contain Vaughn's bat. If we are within one come the 9th we are going extras.
  4. liveforoctober
    come on young man, have yourself a moment.

    Oh Durbin with an infield hit? Never would have guessed it..
  6. 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.

    The Vaughn pinch hit go ahead home run next inning is going to hit like crack..

    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.

    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? :)
  11. 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.

    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.

    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...

    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.

    I'm not a fan of making moves just to make moves although I understand from a GM/Owner standpoint you generally sell more tickets by placating to the casual fans when all else is equal. Not doing something says "we don't care and aren't trying" to many. Suarez seems great but the cost to acquire the guy who is #4 in the league in HR's is probably really steep. I'm definitely calling to inquire about him but I'm not desperate. Durbin has been a good player. My overall take on this year's deadline is two things: upgrade Mona if the cost is light. Whoever this year's Jerry Hairston equivalent is that can cover the infield for us and provide a deep fly ball with a guy on 3rd when needed. Secondly, barring injury in the short term to someone - trade one of Quintana/Cortes for some minor league pieces. Woodruff staying healthy is the key here.. assuming no contending team will want to trade from their big league roster to acquire pitching help - we are digging for prospects. I mentioned this in another thread but we have arms pushing up from AA and they need to progress too. Having 10 major league ready arms in AAA/MLB is an amazing 'problem' .. but two of them are expiring contracts and if we can help keep the entire organization healthy top to bottom ... then let's get it done.
  17. liveforoctober
    Yes amongst all of the other reasons why Quintana and/or Cortes need to be traded ... Priester might be the biggest one. Other than Peralta he is the guy in the rotation the Brewers least want to move (at least up and down from Nashville).
  18. liveforoctober
    This is going just about how we all thought it would...
  19. liveforoctober
    Thanks Civale!
  20. liveforoctober
    Very valid. It does seem for better or for worse we have pinpointed the type of outfielder we want and that is how we are moving forward. I do have a soft spot for Collins just based on his path and taking advantage of the opportunity ... so I may have been a triggered a bit with the convo. My apologies.
  21. liveforoctober
    He's been really good. ERA under 3. In most other seasons he would have been brought back up already..
  22. liveforoctober
    Whatever Vaughn does or doesn't provide while here will be added to Civale's season WAR with us...

    It's a fun exercise to play scout and find the prospect fits. Looking at Quintana.. most teams could use a starter but I'm looking mainly at the top 4 in the AL East + Houston. I could be wrong here but I'm thinking we are looking towards the bottom half of a team's top 10 for a match or so if the return is a prospect. 7 of the Yankees top 10 prospects are arms. If I'm Milwaukee with Quintana I'm probably starting at Lalane and working up with any of the 4 arms they have in A ball currently. I like the righty Pecko in Houston. I also think Joseph Sullivan fits the Brewers mold of outfielders. Jackson Nezuh strikes out a lot of guys and seems to be raw. re: Boston.. their AA squad the SeaDogs have a couple of fun arms. Any of Sandlin, Early, or Tolle would be really cool to add. Would the Blue Jays kick us Johnny King as the ultimate lottery ticket? I kind of like Sean Keys, but I feel like we would be adding a 3b version of Blake Burke that needs to move to 1b soon enough as it is and they are parallel in their developmental stages right now. I would take Carson Messina randomly too. Easy 98mph out of high school. Harrison or Hill from the Rays. Easy peasy. I like the young SS they have in Santana too... again seems like a Brewers player, fast and easy defense. Of course none of this means anything ... I'm just a dufus watching Twitter clips. But it is fun to grind and play GM for a minute.

    Vaughn has a chance..
  25. liveforoctober
    This has been a fun game to watch. I'm not letting you negative yappers get to me today ;)
