    Couldn't you also just do a pitcher infuser? Would be cheaper as all you would have to do is buy some sugar and cut up the lemons and place in the infuser. If lemons get expensive switch to limes or other fruit that are less expensive.

    Brewers are just missing the mistake pitches or not swinging at them.

    This team is horrible at watching fastballs go down the center of the plate. If it is a fastball and it is going down the center of the plate you need to be swinging at it. I don't care if the count what the count is. If the pitcher is going to give you a nice pitch to swing at swing at it.

    Going to say this again and again and again. Peralta needs an opener.
  5. nate82
    That is mostly due to travel which is fine as the Cubs also have two days off for that.
  6. nate82
    The Royals also have two days off in a row. These are the only two teams I think have more than one day off not counting the All Star break.

    You missed one in CJ Kayfus but he is more likely to be a day 2 pick than a day 1 pick. Power wise is the question for Kayfus but he can absolutely hit. Kayfus is comparable to Votto where he will put up high average and high OBP but won't hit a ton of HR's. He does have advanced strike zone skills and won't chase all that much. He is currently sitting at a 1:1 BB:K. If you don't like strikeouts then Kayfus is someone you will like.

    Dalvin Cook to be traded today? https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10077499-dalvin-cook-rumors-teams-believe-vikings-will-trade-or-release-rb-amid-dolphins-buzz

    I think J.D. Martinez was probably the best signing this off season and was someone I wanted the Brewers to go after. His .278/.320/.611 for a 145 wRC+ would look really good in the Brewers lineup right now as the everyday DH. Though the majority of his damage is coming against RHP so he wouldn't have helped against LHP. Though career wise he has mashed lefties with a 150 wRC+.

    I think that will continue as long as they are one of MLB's main sponsors.

    It is not just home runs but doubles are probably going to be rare also. Frelick is probably just a singles hitter. Kind of reminds me of a better version of Juan Pierre or Podsednik.
  12. nate82
    I am wondering if the Brewers go with CJ Kayfus (1B). He is a really good defensive 1B and has the hit tool and power to stay at 1B. Would be an interesting comp or 2nd round pick. He may not be available in round 3 where the Brewers are picking.
  13. nate82
    Could get a competitive balance pick from the Rays, Mariners, Reds, Royals, Rockies, Guardians, Pirates, Orioles, A's, Marlins or D'backs. If the Brewers trade Burnes up to 2-hours before the draft. So it is possible the Rays could trade prospects plus their comp-a pick (~$6M) to the Brewers. I am just not sure the Rays would do that. A quick edit something like: Williams (SS/3B), Comp-A pick and Basabe (SS) would be at that $45m surplus value.
  14. nate82
    Even if the Brewers are out of it I think they should trade Frelick. I just don't see Frelick being anything more than a .280/.370/.400 hitter in MLB. He just doesn't have the power to be anything more than that. If somehow the Brewers could trick the White Sox in giving up Robert for a Frelick plus deal I am agreeing before the White Sox can rethink the trade.
  15. nate82
    The Brewers will have some leverage but not much. I think the most the Brewers get is $45m in excess value. Burnes right now is rated at about $50m in excess value so the Brewers will be selling at about a $5m loss. I think most trades are going to come in at the $40m mark. So at most expect 1 top 25-50 ranked player and a bunch of 15-20 organizational ranked players.

    I did this draft: I think this would be an expensive draft for the Brewers. I doubled up on 3B as two fell in my lap with Taylor and Morales. One will move over to DH probably Morales assuming both hit like they should. Not really happy with the pitching options that were available. Taylor and Morales are basically the same player just flipped on their offensive strengths. Taylor is a 60 hit 50 power hitter while Morales is a 50 hit 60 power hitter.

    Another trade but I think this would be a move the Rays wouldn't do but... Rays get: Burnes Brewers get: Caminero (3B) and Basabe (SS). Brewers get a very young 3B who will need to be added to the 40-man after this season and a really good SS in Basabe. Basabe is a better version of Turang. This would then allow the Brewers to trade Adames for pitching. Trade #2 Dodgers get: Adames Brewers get: Stone (RHP), Sheehan (RHP) and Munoz (1B). With the two trades this resets the Brewers for '24 by giving the Brewers some youth in the starting rotation and in the infield with Turang and Basabe.

    The Cardinals would have to pick up 2-3 starting pitchers that are better than what they have. Would adding two of Lynn, Giolito or Rodriguez be enough? Take into account the Cardinals don't get to beat up on the Pirates, Reds and Cubs all that much more. Right now the Cardinals have a bunch of #3-5 type pitchers in their rotation and most are pitching closer to #5 pitchers. Lynn is also not that great this year. Right now Montgomery and Mikolas are the best pitchers on the Cardinals staff and they are looking more like #4's than top of the rotation pieces. The Cardinals would need to add an ace and at least one #3 type pitcher to make their rotation better. Also take into consideration nearly all of their SP this year will be FA's next offseason. Other than Walker who the Cardinals are not trading their next best prospect is a starting pitcher. Actually 3 of their next 4 after Walker are pitchers. The Cardinals are going to need all of that pitching in the coming years unless they plan on paying FA rates for a starting pitcher or they need to subtract from their MLB team to do so. I don't see the Cardinals making a big splash for a trade. They will probably just add Lynn who looks to be on the decline also and somehow turn him around and have him pitch like he was a few years ago or something. But will that be enough for the rest of their punchless starting pitchers?

    I am not sure. Burnes hasn't been an ace type of a pitcher for about a year now. Right now he is looking more like a #2 or a #3 type pitcher. I think if the Brewers trade Burnes at the deadline they will be lucky to get over $45m+ in surplus value.

    If the Rangers continue to stay at the top in the AL West they could be looking for a starting pitcher to complete their rotation. I think the Rangers would be open to a Burnes trade here and they won't even have to trade their #1 prospect for Burnes. Rangers get: Burnes Brewers get: White, Leiter and Saggese. In this trade the Brewers receive a really good starter in White and a huge question mark in Leiter along with INF Saggese. I know everyone is going to question why is Leiter a huge question mark? Well take a look at his stats in AA they have been absolutely horrible. In AA in 133.2 IP Leiter is at a 5.12 ERA, 1.519 WHIP. 5.6 BB9, 8.1 H9 and 11.2 SO9. While the K's are good the hits and walks are absolutely horrible. I think Leiter drops out of the top 100 at least for MLB.com once that is updated again. Leiter just doesn't look good at all so why would the Brewers want him in a trade for Burnes? Because he has been so bad he is actually attainable in a trade for Burnes and I believe the Brewers would think they can fix him and get him closer to what he looked like when he was drafted 2nd overall.
  21. nate82
    They blew nothing by not drafting Wagner last year. He is a K machine and is currently sitting at .226 / .376 / .431 in A+ with 44 K's. I don't think he will be a MLB regular at best he is going to be a bench bat if he even makes it to MLB.
  22. nate82
    Peralta needs to be removed from the rotation or at least have someone come in and be an opener for him.
  23. nate82
    I doubt Hopkins would be interested in coming to the Packers. Probably would want to go somewhere with a higher Super Bowl chance. I think he goes to the Chiefs, Bengals, Eagles or Jets.
  24. nate82
    Taylor is a SS as much as Braun was a SS. Unless your name is clancy then Taylor is not a SS.
  25. nate82
    Miller is coming off an injury to his hamate. He really hasn't looked like the hitter he was last year since the injury. If you want a corner IF Schanuel is probably the guy you want. Brayden Taylor is another corner IF who has slipped he was considered a top 10 pick early on but with his early play he played out of a top 10 pick but he has come roaring back. I think K's maybe a problem for Taylor once he starts playing in the upper minors and MLB but his bat is legit. He has 25+ HR potential and he is solid at 3B he could also play 2B though he is not really quick enough to play there. Schanuel you may be able to get under slot which should allow the Brewers to go more aggressive with their other picks. I like Taylor and Schanuel over Miller. The Brewers could also go with Yohandy Morales who looks like he has slipped out of the 1st round and should be there for the Brewers competitive balance pick at 33.
