    He can probably still match his season total of HRs against the Brewers in the playoffs. We had no answer for him, right?

    I sure hope we get more Lauer than Peralta at this point. Lauer and Burnes have been the two best the last month, and it isn't even close. NLDS 1 - Burnes 2 - Woodruff 3 - Lauer 4 - Peralta (quick hook) /Houser 5 - Burnes

    Facts are facts though. Lutz has K'd 404 times in 1265 career minor league at bats. His career slugging percentage in the minor leagues is .427. A minor league outfielder who strikes out 32% of the time and has below average power doesn't have a path to the major leagues. No harm in being patient, but certainly a disappointing career so far for a first round pick. I've never been impressed with his A / A+ stats. But, considering he didn't play in 2020, was bumped to AA, who knows how that is going to effect different people, I am willing to give him a mulligan for 2021. 2022 will be the pass/fail.

    I wouldn't trade Stearns for both of those guys... pass. At what point do you make lemonade as best you can. Stearns may interview and not even want to go work for that owner. Realistically, Stearns should have wrote an out in his contract for the Mets, if it was that big of a deal, but do you risk him getting a little disgruntled over it or get something in a trade and keep everybody moving up the food chain and happy. Of course, he should have to wait until the playoff run is over.

    I could see this happening - but probably not for at least another year. But yeah, Yelich as 1B might be in our best long term interests. Yeah, but only if he is hitting. Current Yelich at 1B isn't going to cut it offensively, and I'd guess he'd have some defensive struggles to add to his lack of offense, which puts us where we always seem to be at 1B... This isn't comparing Yelich at 1B to all the other NL 1B. This whole assumption is that Yelich has to play somewhere. So it is assuming that we would have better production and/or cost savings from the OF that replaces Yelich than the 1B that Yelich replaces. replacement OF > replaced 1B. This is assuming Yelich isn't terrible at 1B defensively, and maybe keeps him healthier during the season.

    I would think they try to keep one guy past free agency, for big bucks, but to be determined by hometown discount, how other pitchers are looking, plus how many cheap/pre-arby position guys are good enough that we don't have to spend FA money after 2024 for most of these positions: Garcia, Cain, JBJ, Wong, Narvaez, Adames. You would like to think that between who we have in the minors that could be up by 2025 and who we would receive in trades for Burnes/Woodruff that we can limit our free agent spending. Everything being the same I would want to keep Burnes over Woody.

    I hate the Yankees as much as any Brewer fan that was a fan through the AL years. I would say there was value added to that flip versus letting it go in on its own. Was slowing down and who knows what kind of bounce the catcher gets it on. He was out according to that replay that was posted. :34 mark as OSS said.
  11. Roderick
    That's surprising. You have to figure that the Brewers are technically the best shot to go from the NL if you could only pick one team right now. The Giants and Dodgers will probably have to play eachother - so how do you pick one of those teams? And the AL is pretty balanced also. So I'm thinking the Brewers should be the best odds to win the WS if you had to pick one team today, even though they won't be favored in the series vs the NL West or probably against the AL team.
  12. Roderick
    I am willing to pull this trigger, as long as we get the haul. I think Burnes, Peralta, Lauer, Houser, Ashby would still be a top starting rotation in 2022 with Small/Lindblom/Bettinger/Hardy as emergency starters and the next man in. Plus you can probably include an almost MLB ready pitcher in the trade if you have concerns.
  13. Roderick
    2.01 era over eric lauer's last 11 games. what a turnaround for this guy. The way the guys with the press clippings have had a bump or two in the road lately, we need to be setting up Lauer to max out his playoff starts. Only half blue.

    https://www.mlb.com/brewers/news/top-prospect-performers-for-september-7-2021?t=mlb-pipeline-coverage Brewers: Joey Wiemer, SS (No. 23), High-A Wisconsin Wiemer’s taken a big step forward since getting promoted to Wisconsin at the beginning of August. Wiemer notched his ninth home run and his sixth double since joining the Timber Rattlers, with all 15 of his extra-base hits coming in 87 at-bats. Though he’s also struck out 24 times at the High-A level, he’s still slashing .356/.408/.736 during his month-long stint with Wisconsin.

    I'd trade Lauer or Houser for a good, young, cost-controlled 3B. If he doesn't work out, you still have Urias. Or you move Yelich to 1B (and Garcia is gone) and want to get a young, cost-controlled corner OF. Can't really see another reason to trade off Houser or Lauer before next year,

    I'll give you a topic. Talk Amongst Yourselves From 1 looming question for every MLB team: https://www.mlb.com/brewers/news/looming-question-for-every-mlb-team Brewers: Time to think about trading Josh Hader? Obviously, the Brewers love what Hader gives them; the notion they would even let the idea of trading him enter the conversation has all to do with business and nothing to do with performance or intangibles. He is in the conversation for the most valuable reliever in baseball, with a 44.2% strikeout rate that ranks as the best all-time among pitchers who have logged at least 10 innings in the Major Leagues. He is earning a $6.675 million base salary in 2021 after the latest of his arbitration cycles, and he has two more years of club control in ‘22 and ‘23 before he reaches free agency. His value could not be higher at the moment. The Brewers have received calls on Hader in recent years and the asking price was said to be “overwhelming,” as one official put it to FanSided’s Robert Murray earlier this year. As Hader inches closer to the potential of an eight-figure annual salary, would the Brewers consider accepting an offer if another team overwhelms them with a massive haul of Major League-ready talent? This will be the final winter that it can be said Hader has multiple years of control remaining. -- Adam McCalvy

    Anderson is a veteran, I don't understand this 100 innings threshold at all. Tack on that fact that he isn't signed for next year, and should be treated like a rented mule (nice, but not this nice).
  18. Roderick
    Definitely. He is 5.7 years younger than the average position player in AAA. You can't use average age for comparison in AAA. The other minors sure. But when you have players like Tim Dillard in AAA, it doesn't make sense to even use that stat.
  19. Roderick
    I hope Gray is so good, he needs to get listed twice.
  20. Roderick
    I admit, putting in Lauer was clickbait. But he was closer to a $10M in value than Turang, who is listed as $21M in value at baseballtradevalues. I would use Turang, and try and get someone decent back.
  21. Roderick
    I would package the three arby years of Lauer with Cain and his $18M for 2022 to clear his contract. Figure Cain could get a one year $8M contract on the free market. So are three arby years of Lauer worth more or less than $10M? I figure Ashby will get the fifth spot. With Small being the guy to be getting ready in AAA. Lindblom as longman. That gives me money to roll the dice on giving Garcia a QO. If he takes it, we can afford it. If he doesn't, we get the pick. If Garcia goes somewhere else, we actually need to find an OF. Depending on how Garcia situation plays out, will kind of dictate if we try to retain Escobar. I would prefer to slightly overpay one year, versus doing a two year contract. If the scenario is all the OF come back, I would try to move Yelich to 1B (to at least be ready even if Tellez is doing okay) and we wouldn't have the money to retain Escobar, so Urias gets 3B. Back in 2015 the DBacks traded their 1st round pick Toussant to get rid of the $9.5M Arroyo contract. That is the last time I have heard of a trade to dump a contract like I'm proposing. So probably isn't the way to go if I am replicating strategy from Dave Stewart.

    Harvey Kuehn, the player, looks older then CC does now. I suspect Kuehn in the crib, might have also. https://onmilwaukee.com/articles/82-brewers-1982

    How much does Vogelbach get in first year of arby next year? That would be one of my first things to review on how much hoop jumping I go through to keep him as an option for 2022.

    https://www.mlb.com/brewers/news/prospects-on-rise-every-major-league-team?t=mlb-pipeline-coverage Brewers: Joe Gray Jr., OF (No. 30) Milwaukee has been elated to see how the 2018 second-rounder has taken off offensively in what is ostensibly his first full season. Gray’s speed, outfield arm and power potential always made him a prospect, but it was an open question whether he would hit enough. He seems to have found a good blend of power and flexibility at the plate, leading to more impactful contact. He is hitting .272/.380/.561 with 16 homers and 16 steals over 80 games at Low-A and High-A.
