Going to be an expensive draft for the Rays.

I don't think the Brewers will. I think this maybe a similar situation as the Payne pick.

Well one of my calls had to hit one time!

Can't believe Rose went 6th to the Royals.

I mentioned no stats and brought up how both of them pitch. Both Peralta and Sproat will be pitching ahead and then all of a sudden the count will be at 3-2 and the at bat then ends with both pitchers throwing 7+ pitches. I'm not even sure why I am responding to you as you are just contrarian to be contrarian.

Sproat is basically Freddy Peralta. The first three innings can be a wild guessing game of which version you are going to get. Sometimes he will be pitching ahead and then all of a sudden it's 3-2 on three straight noncompetitive pitches. When he is rolling he feels unhittable and just rolls through the lineup to later then hiccup and gets ahead of a batter and then some how walks or gives up a base hit on a very hittable pitch. The Brewers basically traded for a younger version of the pitcher they had in Peralta.

Whats the difference between that and one reporter referencing another reporter as a source and pretending it's somehow authoritative?

It’s reported to be a major league contract. I am going to assume Harrison to the IL and Woodruff to the 60-day IL to open up a 40-man spot for Wilson.

The problem with trading players like Skenes with multiple years of control is that you won’t get back the value you really need. While Made for Skenes is equal value wise it would take more than that for the Pirates to trade Skenes. Including more than Made for Skenes doesn’t make sense for the Brewers and only getting one prospect back for Skenes regardless how good the prospect is, is just not enough for the Pirates and wouldn’t make sense for them.

If Miller were a SP sure but he’s a reliever. So I wouldn’t do this trade. Even with the years of control I’m just not interested in trading Fischer and Williams for a reliever.

The Giants are not trading Webb. He is the one guy the Giants have said is off limits. You would have to overpay to get him.

If the Brewers are to draft him it would have to be with their first pick. He should be gone by the supplemental picks.

Ryan makes the most sense here but that is going to be at a huge price. I'm not sure the Brewers will be willing to pay that price. If it wasn't a mutual option I could see the Brewers trading for Ryan.
