    When you are hovering around a 35% K rate that is not good. That would be closer to a 40% K rate in the majors. Basically a Keston Hiura situation. I don't think Fischer is that bad but he needs to get that K rate down. Baseball Prospectus had him in their top 100 in the pre-2026 rankings.

    His K% is what is holding him back.

    The only way I would trade for Chapman is if the Giants accepted Joey Ortiz and Black for Chapman and paying about 40-45% of Chapman's remaining salary from 2027-2030. Chapman is not worth all that much as he is very similar to Nolan Arenado who the Cardinals had to pay about $31 million to Arizona and only got Jack Martinez who is a 23 year old in A ball with a 4.00 ERA currently.

    There really isn't an impact player that is available in the trade market. The best is probably Byron Buxton and he probably isn't available. The next best option is Wilson Contreras. Offensively this trade market is well below average for impact bats. For the Brewers it is even worse as there is no 3B to replace Ortiz. In the OF you have Buxton but can he stay healthy and will he waive his no trade? Pitching wise there is enough out there but no one who is an impact pitcher, I don't believe Skubal will be traded as Detroit is close to a playoff spot. The next best options are Gray and Alcantara. Then relief pitchers it is Chapman and then?

    The Julius Randle trade is probably what the Bucks are looking at for a return for Turner. I don’t see a way for the Bucks to get rid of him without including a pick or taking on an equally bad contract. At best the Bucks will receive a second round pick for him.

    You have to remove the Packers bias. If the Packers didn’t have as much popularity would you say the same thing? Player wise Giannis is the winner and there isn’t really anyone that close. Giannis saved the franchise from leaving. Yes Kohl stipulated the Bucks had to stay or he wouldn’t sell. But he was only going to live for so long. A Giannis less team definitely would have been on the move list. Did Favre save the Packers from moving? Did Rodgers do that? Did Reggie White do that? The answer is no. All they did was bring a SB back and nothing more. The Packers were never in danger of moving or being irrelevant in Wisconsin sports. Really there are only two people in the last 30-years who made a team relevant in the state and that is Giannis and Alvarez. Everyone else is just a side note for the franchise they represent.

    Better question would be Giannis vs Favre. Giannis wins that one by a landslide times a billion. There really isn’t anyone with a championship that is as big as Giannis was to Milwaukee or WI sports in recent history. Maybe you can argue Lombardi or Alvarez as non players. If you are looking at players only then there is no one who even competes with Giannis and only Kareem really comes close.

    Doc Rivers was a Giannis pick or one to placate Giannis. I think Giannis wanted Kidd to come back and be the HC again. Giannis is a great player but OMG is he a petulant little child sometimes. You are the veteran on the team take some dang leadership and accountability. You don’t have to be told what to do all the time. Grow up and be a man. I think Turner was onto something here and that Giannis has no leadership skills at all and he is a petulant child and a child who has to be lead through everything.

    NHL looking to expand again and no Milwaukee is not an option. Current cities are Austin or Houston as an option.

    The main problem was Middleton breaking down physically. Once that happened the Bucks lost their #2 scoring option. This made the Bucks trade for Lillard. The Bucks couldn’t count on Middleton anymore and needed a #2 to pair with Giannis. Unfortunately Lillard and Giannis was a poor pairing because Giannis is not a good pick and roll player. The next problem is the poor drafting by the Bucks. I’ll give the Bucks a pass on Parker as that was a freak injury. If Parker never gets injured wow that team would have been a great one. Middleton, Parker and Giannis was cooking that year offensively when all three were healthy and on the court together. Then Parker gets injured and then it was over. Every draft after that Parker draft was disaster after disaster. Other than Brogdon there wasn’t a pick that was a clear positive.

    There were only two options for the Bucks and that was the Heat or the Celtics. Giannis refused to sign an extension with a Western Conference team. That killed a possible trade to Minnesota or any other Western Conference team.

    I believe the Bucks selected the wrong trade. They could have gotten their picks back by taking the Celtics trade through trading Brown to Portland. Herro is not a superstar and is more of a really good player. He wants a max contract so the Bucks have to trade him. Signing Herro to a max deal would be dumb. I am fairly confident the rumors are true and he will be going to Detroit. Unknown on the return.

    Joey trying to be the next Yuni B!!!!

    Why have Frelick bunt when he is clutch?
  16. nate82
    Looks like Yelich needs to go on the IL again.

    The Heat deal has more picks. The Celtics deal has one or two picks. My contact doesn’t think there is anymore and these maybe pick swaps.
  18. nate82
    I have heard if the Bucks go with the Heat offer there is a trade for Portis in the works. The Bucks are also trying to offload Turner but are not finding many suitors. The Lakers have shown some interest but expect to be extremely disappointed by the return for Turner. I have heard 2nd round picks and an expiring contract for Turner.

    Wiggins is not in the Miami trade offer.

    The Dodgers have a really good farm system. The Yankees and Braves are a step or two below the Brewers and Dodgers. I’m not sure the Dodgers really need anything other than bullpen help which every team needs. I would rather see the Cubs go after Skubal maybe we can get them to overpay like they did for Quintana.

    Rose doesn’t have the arm to play catcher. I have seen it rated from average to below average to well below average. He is athletic enough where he could play CF. I don’t think Rose makes it to the Brewers but if he does I like the pick. He has gap to gap power and has average speed. He does chase a lot but he doesn’t strike out a ton and it is tough to K him. Basically Rose is a taller Frelick but with lots of power and a bit slower runner. He is a very smart runner so he uses his speed very wisely and knows when to push and when not to. Defensively he is a LF. In the OF he has plus arm in the OF at catcher is where scouts differ on his arm strength.

    Brown would be traded to Atlanta or Portland. Portland is the desired trading partner as they hold the Bucks future picks. If the Bucks get Herro he would also be traded to Detroit supposedly. This is accurate according to my sources. Both of the trades are very lacking and the Bucks are not backing down from their ask which is a lot. I give it a 5% chance Giannis gets traded.

    Fruit in salads I can understand and can work with the right fruits. For example raspberries work really well with lettuce or spinach. Though you need to add some nuts so the salad isn’t so sweet tasting.

    Raisins in coleslaw. They don’t belong in coleslaw.

    That was the point
