    This season is truly a journey!
  2. CheezWizHed
    So who had "no one we ever expected" on their prediction?
  3. CheezWizHed
    Nah. Way too tall!
  4. CheezWizHed
    Chafin deal made sense since we were thin at LHRPs, but he just completely failed here.
  5. CheezWizHed
    I would just let my trade candidate keep their name. No need to name them. I'd go with O'Hearn or Castro. Both would be great too.
  6. CheezWizHed
    Would be easier to do this in full in Sept with expanded rosters. Seems like we will see this with Miz at least. Maybe with five-inning Freddy too?

    Meh... When I see comments like this it feels like someone is remembering the 1990-2010 era when there was a plethora of big hitting 1Bers. If you can hit 750+ OPS, you are in the top half of starters in the MLB. Hit 850+ and you are elite. Personally, I think a 750-800 OPS is realistic with maybe some upside after that. His stats in college were pretty amazing.

    I do have one critism of this year's draft. I don't think we should be drafting guys older than I am... Or maybe @Brock Beauchamp can fix that one. 😂
  9. CheezWizHed
    Beat me to it! Welcome @Cowbell! Great name. 😀

    Perhaps he was calling to warn the BP that the ball was coming? Oops... wrong BP. Same treatment as Favre. You had a great legacy with our team and you knew (or should've known) what going to the arch-rival meant. He will be booed until he leaves the Cubs. Please don't insult Stan!

    Oddly, this is the Vaughn that still comes into my head when I hear Andrew being called to that plate...and not Greg. I have to admit that I'm tempering my long term hopes on what Vaughn can become. This trade has been amazing, but I keep hoping he doesn't turn into a pumpkin at some point.
  12. CheezWizHed
    Not a bad idea. He can have the Woodruff/Burnes BP treatment and roll back into starting.
  13. CheezWizHed
    I'm not a Doc fan, but he does play younger players...that can play. Beauchamp was a miss. AJJ got some play last year, but needs growth yet. Green is a good example of a player that steadily improved each year and has been making meaningful contributions. I'm interested in what Rollins will bring this year. It is really hard to develop rookies when you are constantly drafting late (or every other year without a 1st rounder). There is talent there, but it is much harder to mine talent that way. And my first gripe about our front office would be our lack of ability in drafting. I had checked out on the season until their crazy offseason push. I'm interested on what our defense will be like this year. If we can jump up in defense and Giannis stays healthy, I think they will be right back up at top 4 in the East. If they can't do defense...well, it will be a long year.

    Yeah, I saw that later last night too. It is unfortunate IMO. Finger or not, Contreras isn't hitting all that well and it was very obvious how he wore down last year late in the season. Frankly, Willy bore a decent chunk of the responsibility for our 1st round playoff exit.
  15. CheezWizHed
    Don't forget that many, many prospects never product a positive contribution to the MLB level. Jansen is an upgrade from EH, but that won't impact much if he plays as often as EH. I think this is an indication that Contreras is going to sit more and heal his broken finger. The biggest improvement Jansen can bring is a healthy Contreras in October.
  16. CheezWizHed
    And the remake:
  17. CheezWizHed
    I saw an article that was trying to find the "right way" to use Kuzma (making lemonade as he says...). It was basically focused on Kuzma at PF; so Giannis' backup. The skillsets are pretty similar (though a large gap in the quality of those skillsets) and advocated that the two shouldn't be on the court at the same time. Though in a small-ball config with Giannis at C, it should still work. Also using Kuzma in a pick-n-roll role helps because it forces his defender to be up on him and not sagging off to play a soft zone. So basically, if you have Kuzma in the game when Giannis isn't and have a few minutes of the game with some overlap and limit the SF role for Kuzma (where his lack of 3PT shooting hurts), we would maximize K's strengths (and minimize his minutes).

    Not to mention getting Contreras more rest (hopefully) so that he can return to his normal 120 OPS+ hitting ways instead of this 95 OPS+ current version. I know people expect our MiLB prospects ranked in the 20+ region to bring back All-Star level players, but this is a good trade that fills a gap in the team. Perhaps a bit non-intuitive gap originally, but now that you see the trade and think about the situation, it makes perfect sense.
  19. CheezWizHed
    Certainly not a trade on anyone's radar, but I'm not sure why that surprises us year after year. 😉 My guess is that it will be a good grab. The team must not have much confidence in Haase, or at least wants to upgrade if he is to play more and rest Contreras more (please!). Hope we have at least one more trade up their sleeves.
  20. CheezWizHed
    I loved the flag at the game with CC silkscreened behind the L. 😂
  21. CheezWizHed
    Jansen and Ashby should become good battery mates... if taste in glasses is any indication.
  22. CheezWizHed
    Too small? He perfectly fits the 5'8" market inefficiency the Brewers found! A little above average per bWAR and fWAR.
  23. CheezWizHed
    Civale did a solid by throwing 5 shutout innings against the Cubs, but CWS ended up losing anyway. 😞
  24. CheezWizHed
    Sure the full platinum ones are "more valuable" because of scarcity, but I think the other one looks better. I mean he won the platinum glove award and not the silver surfer award... 😏

    In memory of Hulk Hogan!
