    Senzel still can't hit RHP. So far this year he has 48 wRC+ against RHP.
  2. nate82
    Nope. Best option would be Luis Robert Jr. (CF) but I don't think the White Sox will sell. It would take Frelick and a lot more to get Robert.

    Or in 2016 taking platoon hitter Nick Senzel with the #2 pick and his career fWAR of -0.2. Would have been better taking Ray at #2 in 2016 with his career 0 fWAR or maybe they should have picked Corbin Burnes at #2.

    Bad jumps and reads would be my guess. Speed can only help you so much especially when a ball is going 90MPH+.

    Will he be able to start in '24? I doubt Allen comes back for his senior year. It would be silly for Allen to comeback for his senior year unless he gets injured this year the way the NFL has started to pay RB's it is better to get in early so you can get that big payday earlier.

    Spending the owners money on shiny objects.

    Not to mention Chourio didn't have all that much time in A+. There was debate on where the Brewers were going to place Chourio this year and I think most had him starting in A+ and not in AA. The assignment of Chourio was very aggressive by the Brewers. MLB is also experimenting with baseballs in AA this year I believe which maybe causing some issues here. I think Chourio, Quero, Black and Misiorowski are probably the only untouchables in the Brewers minor league system. I think the Brewers are willing to part with Frelick if it means an impact player is coming back to them with 3-4 years of control. Something similar to a Yelich type of a trade.

    It could start with him…..

    You are missing the point. The Mets don't care if they lose Alonso to FA the Brewers would. The Mets can just go out and buy someone else like Goldschmidt in FA if they lose Alonso. They don't really need to replenish the farm system or recycle talent when they can just go and sign whoever they want. If a team wants Alonso they will have to overpay for him. It is the Mets price or nothing. This isn't the Pirates, Royals or A's here this is the Mets with an owner who doesn't care about the teams spending. If Alonso would cost $30m next year it would also be irrelevant. The only way the Mets are trading Alonso is if they are getting back premium prospects. For the Brewers they would trade Adames if they are out of it but will be looking to replenish their farm system and wouldn't be as hard on their asking price. I still believe the Brewers get a top 50-100 prospect back for Adames.

    Yes and No. The Mets are not going to trade Alonso as they still see themselves as a playoff team. Why would they trade someone off their roster when they expect to be competing next year and that player would be someone that they would want to be on their team next year? Any team wanting to trade for Alonso will have to overpay to get him and not just a small overpay but a franchise altering overpay. Alonso's salary and stats this year are irrelevant in this discussion. The Mets are going to demand an elite return for Alonso and they won't care about his production or his salary number next year. It will be pay the price the Mets are asking for or don't it won't matter to them.
  11. nate82
    How is that foolish? The Mets are not going to dump Alonso for anything less. The Mets are going to demand elite talent in return for Alonso and that means Chourio from the Brewers. For this reason I don't see the Mets trading Alonso. It is very similar to the Reynolds ask from the Pirates. The more likely scenario would be the Mets extending Alonso than them trading him as they don't really have the financial restraints the Brewers had with Hader. The Mets can just wait it out and they will unless their price is met.

    The only bad thing about Waldrep is that he could just be a reliever though a very good late inning reliever especially with that violent delivery. I think the Brewers would try and clean it up a bit and maybe that helps him become more consistent with his pitches. As a floor he is probably easily a dominant late inning reliever. I still prefer Taylor, Schanuel, Davis or Morales at 18 but it is hard to complain too much about Waldrep at 18. I am not a big Miller fan so as long as the Brewers don't take him, Bradfield or Shaw I would be fine with the pick. I really think the Brewers go with a college bat again and I think it is between Taylor, Schanuel or Davis at 18. Davis could be the best player drafted outside of the top 5.

    New MLB mock has the Brewers taking Waldrep at 18. https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-pipeline-2023-mock-draft-july-6?
  14. nate82
    I don't think the Mets would accept anything less and really they don't need to trade Alonso so it is pay up or don't.
  15. nate82
    The Mets and Cardinals don't have to trade either player so it is what they value the players at which is going to be higher than what they are actually worth. It is meet our price or don't get them.
  16. nate82
    Then you are not getting Alonso or Goldschmidt. Maybe something like Black, Frelick and a few lower end prospects for Alonso could be possible but I think the Mets would want Chourio included in the trade for Alonso.
  17. nate82
    Chourio and Frelick. I don't see the Cardinals trading Goldschmidt for anything less than at least two top 100 players. Is Goldschmidt worth that? Heck no he is not but the Cardinals are not going to sell for anything less.
  18. nate82
    The Cardinals are not a good team overall. Bad pitching and bad defense with a good offense. Where have we seen this before? It is like the Cardinals copied the Brewers team construction during the early Melvin years.
  19. nate82
    That looked like the catcher didn’t give the runner a lane to home plate.
  20. nate82
    That slide by Yelich looked like it hurt.
  21. nate82
    The Bucks are done unless they get a trade they like but I don't believe they will sign anyone of significance in FA. Even before Middleton and Lopez resigned there wasn't going to be much room for a FA signing. This is basically the last run with Giannis.

    Since they come from the SBA I don't really have a big problem with them though we shouldn't really be giving away money. This also shouldn't be forgiven either. I am fine with taxes where if you borrow from the government either student, business or other types of loans that you would have to pay it back as a tax. I would be fine with that and I think it would actually make the economy stronger if we moved to something like that and just removed all personal income taxes.
  23. nate82
    Because the amount wouldn’t have been worth it for me. It was less than $9k. If it was higher sure but at how much I had left it was better to just pay each month. For the vast majority of people who are bad with financial planning it would have been better for them to continue paying on their student loans when it was at 0%. With all of their payments going to principal it would have reduced their debt amount. On another point if someone wants their student loan debt forgiven I would be all for it if they are willing to pay an extra 5% tax on their income until the loan amount is paid off. This goes against my Libertarian ideals on taxes but I think this would be a simple solution to this issue. The loans still get paid back but are instead paid based on the job you get from your degree.
  24. nate82
    What? All of your payments would have gone to the principal at 0%. You are saving money while paying down the debt. The only way it would make sense is if you were investing all of those payments at a higher rate than your interest rate. Which I doubt more than 1% of the people were doing this. If they made even just half of their regular payments they would have reduced their debt significantly. I continued to pay mine and I just paid all of mine off. All because of the 0%. I cut my final payment date by about 2-years.

    @Brock Beauchamp This is like 3 posts in a row where the incorrect Brayden Taylor is being linked to on baseball reference. This is the correct link: https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=taylor010bra
