    McKendry sounds like he is setup to be part of our SP pitching depth next year. Three years of options so he can be bounced btw MLB/AAA as our 6th, 7th, or 8th SP.

    Blalock sounds like he could be a near-term BP candidate with 2 solid pitches and a big FB. I also found this interesting write-up from a Red Sox site: https://soxprospects.com/players/blalock-bradley.htm It details each pitch he throws and the strengths. Here is the summary: Summation: Potential up-and-down swingman type with the ceiling of a back-end starter. Stuff could also play in a bullpen role, where he could cut down his arsenal as his secondary pitches are all inconsistent. Development of secondary pitches and command will be key for him to stick in the rotation, and scouts are skeptical of that development happening. Shows confidence and pitches with some swagger. Splitter development is an interesting new wrinkle that gives him a better chance to profile in a multi-inning role.

    I'm sitting here by my phone waiting for the buyout of $1M to become a fan of the Mets...

    Makes sense. Strz come out of nowhere last year, dropped off this year, change of scenery trade for him. Gives us something (hopefully) useful this year.
  5. CheezWizHed
    I think they'd gladly accept him back, but I'd have Williams the main closer. In the playoffs, I'm sure both would have chances. But Williams would be here long term.
  6. CheezWizHed
    Exactly. Obviously the Brewers are in a good position to win the Central, but not exactly positioned well for the playoffs. These moves fill some gaps so we could perhaps be the team that gets in the playoffs and get "hot" (or perhaps the Braves go cold?) without a complete mortgage of our future. We'll get a chance... maybe not what we want, but we are behind the 8-ball with our offense to begin with. Winning the WS certainly needs some bats like Adames to bounce back. You can't trade away to fill every hole we have.

    Perhaps Urias and Lauer for Hader? A "return to sender" trade? 😂

    Plenty of debate and no clear answer on what is "best", but I tend to be one that prefers high OBP/low SLG (Frelick) in front of high OBP/ high SLG guys (Yelich) so there are people in base to increase the value of their hits. Then followed by high SLG/Low OBP and then low OBP/SLG guys at the end. (low and high being relative to whom you have of course). Going from 1st to 3rd in the batting order doesn't lose many ABs in a season At least Adames is down at 6th now. Hopefully he can snap out of his season long funk.

    I will be cheering for the Jets to play Rodgers >65% of the time and lose every game. Not because I hate Rodgers, but because it helps the Packers. I don't date QBs because I'm married to the Packers.
  10. CheezWizHed
    Yeah, that is what I thought when I saw this. Filler job until next year's coaching jobs are opened

    Ice Hockey would be awesome! Everytime someone gets checked, you could have a star-shaped collision graphic... if they fall, cracked ice all around them. But imagine the impacts to soccer... they could have an actual moveable offsides line following the last defensive player around. Offsides would finally be clear!😂
  12. CheezWizHed
    Maybe he just means that fewer ABs are better. 😅
  13. CheezWizHed
    So what are Sal's chances at ROY? 😂 Yes, intentional overreaction, but it is nice to have him hitting and making big hits while he is at it.
  14. CheezWizHed
    I don't think it has to change anything about trade targets. I think if a good RF comes available at a good price, you grab him. That results in Taylor playing less and probably costs Perkins a position. Sal and Joey split in CF (with Sal also getting some LF/RF). Great breakout by the rookie, but no guarantees on what he can provide, so insurance is always good.
  15. CheezWizHed
    And refreshing. Also refreshing to see him actually working the offseason and learning his WRs. Something Rodgers evidently learned and is doing in NY
  16. CheezWizHed
    Nice of Elly to give a Brewer a headline...
  17. CheezWizHed
    He is actually slightly below average in pop times and catcher independant metrics for base stealing defense: https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/catcher-throwing?game_type=Regular&n=q&season_end=2023&season_start=2023&split=no&team=&type=Cat&with_team_only=1&sortColumn=pop_time&sortDirection=asc
  18. CheezWizHed
    Agreed. I was looking at that list and thinking how Ryan played his whole career with the Brewers and couldn't catch Molly. And after The Ignitor left, he was an all-star twice more, nearly won a batting title and MVP, 75.7 career WAR, almost as good as Yount.
  19. CheezWizHed
    I'm curious how people are judging Black's defense? We have people saying he is fine, some saying he is a disaster, some putting him in CF after 15 games there (and 1 error btw)... No one has listed any supporting evidence. FYI, just looking at errors, it isn't too pretty. 1 error in 15 games at CF; 9 errors in 48 games at 2B; and 12 errors in 72 games at 3B. On the positive side, he has zero errors at DH... For anyone interested, Steamer is predicting him to hit 227/328/360/688 for the rest of the season at the MLB level. Sadly... that is an improvement on what we've been getting at DH.
  20. CheezWizHed
    Most of us Brewer fans are Packer, Bucks, and Badger fans too. 😉 20 ABs is a small sample size and won't effect the asking price.
  21. CheezWizHed
    Ditto. I think Love can clearly show who he is as a QB. An injury or just an "ok" season - teasing greatness, but falling short - would make it really hard for next year. I fear him becoming like Dak and get stuck waiting for him to take the step up from good to great, but still dragging the team down in the end. Is it sad that 10% of me wants him to fail miserably so we can get the #1 pick of the 2024 draft?
  22. CheezWizHed
    If it wasn't for the contract... yeah, I'd take him now. Even in a down year, he is an improvement. If he can bounce back a bit by being in a playoff push, he could be very good. Maybe the Brewers can get some of the St. Louis/Arenado love. Where we make a trade get some $$ to go with it?
  23. CheezWizHed
    In the MLB top 100, 32 prospects were at AA with 24 at AAA. I think it is is reasonable to say that is true of the top prospects on the whole (supporting the theory that top prospects tend to move on from the AAA level faster than AA). But I struggle to think that AA arms on average are going to be a better test than AAA arms. How many pitchers at AA won't every reach AAA on a given year? And all those AAAA players are typically guys that pitched well in AA. A batter is only going to face any given pitcher 2-3 times in a game and maybe 5-6x in a season. I doubt having a few more "top end" pitchers is really going to trump the general improvement in all the pitchers you will find at AAA.
  24. CheezWizHed
    There is our new trade target to upgrade our DH position!
  25. CheezWizHed
    @Brock Beauchamp So, I'm assuming this is the consolidated rating? Any way to add a weighting score to each player? It would be nice to see how tightly grouped they were.
