  1. It sounds like we are disagreeing... but we aren't. I was responding to someone stating that they need MLB talent. I'm merely mentioning that a package would need to start with our top 2 MiLB players and then probably empty the rest of the top 10. But the whole thing is a silly notion anyway. Pittsburgh would be better off just working to extend him now. Their fanbase would revolt if they traded him away.
  2. We have a lot of chips right now. Not for a rental, but I'd be willing to part with Made or Pena for the right long term bat. Even the Shane Smith take is waning. Still head scratching on why he wasn't protected, but it is looking more like he picked the right SPs. Even if you think losing Smith caused us to pick up Priester, it looks like a positive move.
  3. Time is the most likely way to do that. Not like you have to pay it anyway. 😂
  4. I live in a world where all of these coexist: I love an appreciate the winning culture the Brewers have had for 10+ years (even without winning a WS). I spent many, many years watching Brewer baseball where the best thing we had was listening to Uecker not describe the action on the field. I appreciate the unorthodox job the Brewers have done (Arnold and others) to assemble this team that is befuddling the league. I'm ready to push in some chips (the expensive ones if necessary) to get a bigger bat to help the offense. Whether that is a Suarez rental or a Yelich-like long term trade (preferred). This year has a feeling like 2011 (except reverse our offense/defensive strengths)... just a feeling this team has a good chance to go far.
  5. Splitting off the Corey Seager to its own thread... ...and keep it civil please.
  6. CWH Estimation method was too high. I just took a peak at the MLB Top 30 from 2010-2020... it was more like 30% providing a positive WAR at the MLB level. I'm normally content with the "bites of the apple" approach, but this team feels a bit different. The pitching is strong and deep. Double sweeping the Dodgers had to be a pretty big confidence boost and I'm willing to buy in this year to up our chances at a WS>
  7. Historically, at least half of the 11-19 prospects from any given year amount to a career MLB WAR of 0 or less (CWH estimation). Rentals are certainly hit or miss, but this isn't exactly going out to get Schoop either. This would be a pretty big swing (pun intended) to fill our biggest hole on the team.
  8. Thanks for saving me going into our MILB roster to find that guy. 😏
  9. Maybe not, but you certainly are starting with Made AND Pena.
  10. You are overvaluing our prospects. I could respect trying to protect our top 5 or top 10, but if you wouldn't give up #19 (Craig Yoho per MLB top 30) I'm not sure what to say. I'd do that in a heartbeat. Most of the top 11-19 would be worth it (one or two individuals there would give me pause). I think we are in prime position to reverse the "bites of the apple" approach this year to push the chips in a bit.
  11. The Browns decided to match their uniforms with the product they leave on the field! Packers to face all-brown Browns in Week 3
  12. General topic for non-Packer discussion. (And we'd prefer to leave out the Bears too unless it is embarrassing!)
  13. Agreed. I'm not normally pro-alternates, but I like this one. Very clever to make a "leather" helmet.
  14. A Skenes/Miz swap is a no-win situation. Miz has become a fan favorite (and Skenes in Pitt), so trading either one is going to enrage the fanbase. Skenes is better right now with perhaps a bit less risk, but their career path potentials overlap quite a bit. Maybe with Miz having the higher floor and lower ceiling. Skenes has a clear short-term advantage (i.e. able to pitch more innings this year), but that amounts to a rental that I wouldn't want to pay much for.
  15. (I created it, so I need to keep posting it! 😉) Now that we passed the Cubs, it is time to "lap" them! I'm not sure what that means in the context of a baseball record, but it sounds fun!
  16. "Weapon".... someone to compete with Malik Heath I guess...
  17. Meh. It's a nothing-burger article. If he truly believes in Kuzma and plans to keep him, he will say positive things about him. If he thinks he is terrible, but can't get rid of him, he will say positive things about him to help boost confidence. If he is about to trade him, he is going to say positive things about him to keep his trade value high. It's what GMs do... say positive things about their players and don't tip their hand about what you are really doing or thinking. If they are really keeping Kuzma, I hope the offseason will help him play better with the team and he simply had an issue transitioning... I guess we wait and see.
  18. For someone at the back end of the Brewer's top 20? Seems like a no-brainer to me.
  19. Fountain of Youth was decent, but not must-see. Worth watching but feels a lot like Indiana Jones and National Treasure made a baby while watching Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and The Mummy. A fun movie, but nothing really "new and fresh". Sounds like it will try to make a sequel.
  20. My company does "summer hours" where we can work four 9hour days and half a day Friday. Nearly everyone works from home on Friday. Given the heavy load of construction on my commute, it is practically like getting a vacation day - and they are often my most productive days.
