    I would have guessed a 2yr/$15M deal for him (so shows what I know). At this price I am disappointed in not resigning him.

    Perez .785 OPS vs Leftys (last two seasons combined) Spang .775 OPS vs Rightys (last two seasons combined) .775 OPS was above league average production for 2B last year. If they play to that level, great. If not, then Hiura is plan B whenever he adds another year of control. If Hiura isn't ready, then trade in July. Now to get people agitated, we can always find Sogard.

    The division won 428 games last year. I assume that will be the floor for wins. This would be 428 wins. Cubs 91 Cardinals 91 Brewers 90 Reds 80 Pirates 76

    Yeah, if he sucks and you take him out of the rotation, then he files a grievance because you only took him out to so you wouldn't have to pay the incentives.
  5. Roderick
    Which would be logical other than the Hosmer signing.
  6. Roderick
    I guess he should never had gone to the all star game. Must have jinxed him.

    It is clear that the Brewers having been working over the FA 2B market very hard this offseason. If Keston is the plan it's Plan Z. And how do we know the Brewers have been working over the FA 2B market? Did some of the players/agents that signed already say that the Brewers were in it? Just wondering if I missed something or if you were just going by writers trying to stir up clicks.

    The Diamondbacks have parted with prospects in the past to get rid of a contract. But I don't think that would be what they want to do now. After losing Goldy and probably Pollack, I assume they are going to keep every prospect and shoot for two years down the line.
  9. Roderick
    Because he won't be cheap and he reaches base about 30% of the time. I agree. But if the price comes down and the years can be limited.... As for the obp, if he is batting #7 before Arcia and the pitcher that isn't as big a deal. I do think he has one more big year in him.

    Whose head is that? That AA baseball player, Michael Jordan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crying_Jordan?scrlybrkr=c3428095
  11. Roderick
    Beat me to the punch line Saw title & was coming to post it lol Thank god he did cry and we got the Astros deal instead.
  12. Roderick
    You aren't going to sign Moose for the $s he will sign for to platoon him.
  13. Roderick
    They could get rid of the losing the draft pick for the signing team. Then there is no effect on the free agents contract and it will be true market value. They could just give a draft pick to the team that loses the player from between round 1 and 2 in order of the value of the contract given out. The risk is teams agreeing under the table to offer the QO, knowing the player wouldn't accept. So maybe limit QOs to a minimum threshold of contract to gain the draft pick.

    That I don't know. Teams are constantly kicking the can down the road when it comes to paying salaries though. It's standard practice in baseball for whatever reason. There's a lot more involved than just whether or not you're paying the luxury tax. Escrow and insurance and all that stuff. I think they can even claim depreciation on players, and it's the only sport where you can do that. Maybe that has something to do with it. Maybe an option isn't considered the same as wages for pension/retirement, medicaid, disability, other insurance or some other benefit purposes where the Brewers can save a % of money on the benefits on the $2.25M.

    I figured retirement, but I heard Vogt on the radio say he is trying to find a team to latch on to (unless I misheard). If you trade away Pina (only for a good price), I could see Vogt as an option. Grandal is going to be treated like a rented mule, I assume. So he is going to start 110 games. Vogt's noodle arm is probably even in worse shape than before, but there is less running nowadays. Not my first choice, but if he shows he can still hit enough, which at 34 may be a stretch .....

    I do not think that Hiura will come up and be an impact player. However, I do think he can come up and be an average player this year. An average player at minimum wage. Save the money for trading deadline where they are paying veterans like Moose, Soria, Schoop, Gio etc a chunk of money. So Hernan Spangenberg for two months, unless the price comes down for whichever free agent Stearns has targeted.

    I could place those calls in a few minutes. Hupy and Abraham and maybe a few others. That is all we have now. haha Same as the first year of BTN, when it was Ro*Tel ads on every commercial break.

    Hypothetical - Would the Indians put any protections on the trade that Kluber doesn't come back to the Central Division? There is probably little chance the Indians would trade Kluber to the White Sox (especially if they got Machado) directly. So if the Padres traded for him and sent him to the White Sox a few days later, would seem weird, right?

    Regarding the TV deal. Here is what it appears the Rays got. https://www.tampabay.com/blogs/rays/2018/02/26/rays-reportedly-close-to-rich-new-tv-deal-worth-an-average-of-82m-annually/ The new pact reportedly would run for 15 years, starting in 2019, with an increase from this season's $35 million to $50 million in the first year, and then escalate from there through 2033, averaging $82 million per year. Here is a Pirate TV deal article from July. http://www.thepointofpittsburgh.com/are-the-pirates-truly-in-trouble-in-upcoming-tv-deal-negotiations/ Would a guess that the Brewer deal will be 70% of the Rays deal be in the neighborhood? The Tampa/St. Pete TV market is bigger. Plus I don't trust that we have a lot of leverage as who would compete against FSN for the rights? You'd have to put together your own TV and then sell it to Charter, Dish, DirecTV, etc and round up your own advertisers.

    Yes, I believe so I thought they were not on the hook if the player declined but the team did not. According to spotrac, in the how much money do the Brewers have left to spend thread, they list $1M paid out to Moose on his option and that was a mutual option that he declined, right? Which doesn't make sense to me, but maybe that is the way it is done.
  21. Roderick
    Nobody was questioning cash flow. Though I would not assume anything unless you know how the debt is structured. Someone was questioning the owners spending any money. So some examples were given.
  22. Roderick
    Yeah, they didn't spend any money acquiring the Mudcats or renovating Maryvale.......

    I could have sworn that with deferred payments such as Ramirez, the Grandal signing, and now settled arby cases they're already over 120. $115 million includes Ramirez ($3million) https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/milwaukee-brewers/payroll/ Although looking at that again, there are a lot of pre-arb blanks so you might be right. My mistake. At the time of signing of ARam, they had the 2014 deferred salary payable in 2017 and 2018. So we should be done with him. They also don't have Garza's deferred $2M either. Signing bonus for Yamamoto in 2019 of $330K? A 12th rounder in 2014. So I wonder about the accuracy on some of this non-current info.
  24. Roderick
    I assume that is probably not a coincidence.
  25. Roderick
    Sorry, but you can't field a team without paying 25 players the minimum so they have to have at least $13.875M invested in payroll. That's an obligation... I like to be picky too, but you and everyone else knew exactly what they were talking about. Players under contract. As the article specifically said in the next sentence.
