    I vote no. Not that I think Made is untouchable. Marte is an upgrade no doubt, but I don't think we can lock up that much of the future Brewers salary budgets. Takes away whatever flexibility for next year they create by trading Peralta and not resigning Woodruff. If we are willing to move Turang to SS, I would hope to find a better deal for a younger, more cost-controlled 3B or 2B.

    I disagree. Hoskins going on the IL was one of the better things that happened this season. We only need him if we have a series against the Phillies.

    So with the assumption that we trade Peralta this offseason, I want to keep both Patrick and Henderson. But would trade the AA pitchers. I don't see how you can assume anything of Gasser until he has done it - same for any injured player. But, he only had 28 innings under his belt before the injury. So I don't want to assume he will be one of the starting five at some point for that reason as well. Miz, Priester, Myers, Patrick, Henderson, then you have Crow, Gasser, Hall, and Ashby as backup for innings, injury, production. If you trade one of Henderson/Patrick, I would assume they sign a "Miley/Quintana" type for 2026 - just because.

    OR..... is this the year to be a team that can create some runs, and doesn't rely on the 3run HR. With the baseball having more drag, hence less HRs, it might play right into the Brewers hands to not be reliant on HRs for the offense this postseason. Conspiracy - does baseball brings out a stash of prior year balls for the postseason, so they get more runs?

    Not my first game by far. But been awhile since coming from west. If I have preferred parking, I should stay in the left lane on 94 and exit at General Mitchell, correct?
  6. Roderick
    Bingo. This is where I assumed all the issues would be from with the union.
  7. Roderick
    I can't see Murphy not being tempted to deviate from the plan in close games and use Uribe/Megill/Mears when he needs to get the innings from the piggyback duo.

    When I googled: Additionally, the Prospect Promotion Incentive (PPI) further encourages teams to promote their top prospects early. If a highly-rated prospect (ranked in the top 100 by at least two of the three major publications: MLB Pipeline, Baseball America, and/or ESPN) is on the Opening Day roster and wins ROY (or places in the top three in MVP or Cy Young voting) before qualifying for arbitration, the team receives a bonus draft pick after the first round.

    Doesn't whatever team a DFA'd player goes to only pay the prorated minimum salary? With the club that cut him paying the rest of his contract?
  10. Roderick
    Wow, I am old. I can remember when the four man rotation in baseball was more the norm.
  11. Roderick
    If you used the new ball with more drag last year, chances are we would have scored 4.7 runs or less last year.
  12. Roderick
    To replace who? Who is the weak link? Do you replace Koening, with another lefty? Because that is all I see. Replace Grant Anderson who has been hot? I assume McGee will be gone when Cortes returns and Miz to pen?
  13. Roderick
    I would think that Priester is more in line to take on the full season of innings vs Miz.
  14. Roderick
    I picked 84 wins. Didn't think the starting staff would do the job. I was kind of proven right in that they acquired Quintana and Priester and now Miz to get the job done, after my March post. 84 is still within the range of possibilities, but I hope it is on the very low end of the range now. If you keep Yelich healthy and hitting, we will be alright.
  15. Roderick
    I hope he is always over his head then, if that is the definition of no runs given up in four innings and his pitch count is good for six innings.
  16. Roderick
    Freddy doesn't go deep enough into games to get ace money. I would offer 3 years - $69M, and assume I will be turned down. Then plan on trading him this offseason.
  17. Roderick
    I don't see how they would do major upgrades without actually owning that minor league team. So sure if Carolina facilities are behind. But they don't own the Appleton team do they - I haven't kept up?
  18. Roderick
    Well you know the White Sox are just going to trade him in July. So they have to get their markup or admin fees for taking him off our hands now and holding him for a month.😎
  19. Roderick
    His whip is a little high, but with his ground ball rate, it would seem the double plays would cover that up. If he just throws 5+ innings of 4.0 ERA ball for the 3 minimum wage years and 3 arby years - that is a ton of value. And hopefully with maturity and a tweak or two he will improve on that. Sure seems like a good, to great trade as of today.
  20. Roderick
    Why? I don't see any guarantee he is going to be better than anyone we have pitching now, with the likelihood he will be pitching worse. Civale is the only one not pitching great, and he is also working his way back also. So take him out for Woodruff? I'm great with slow-playing his recovery until he is needed. The one advantage to not having a bunch of high-paid players on the roster, is if they aren't doing great you don't feel compelled to play them. Just because he is getting paid alot should not be a factor in this at all.
  21. Roderick
    I assume we aren't strictly talking about 2 strike pitches. So I would think the main way it helps the pitcher is that he gets ahead in the count. All those batting stats that move way down when the batter is 0-1 / 1-2 versus an even count.
  22. Roderick
    I assume MA has cloned an extinct dodo bird for a feather pillow. But that has nothing to do with the Brewers finances, that's his personal life. Two things. He has partners owners that assume he can't just dictate the team finances to. And I guess I am in the minority that I don't feel he should run a deficit annually if the Brewer media, ticket sales and all other revenue are not enough to expand the team's budget. For all I know they lose money annually now and the team floats it with debt knowing if/when they sell the team that is when the owner(s) makes their haul. But in the mean time, that increased club valuation doesn't provide any more cash flow to the team's player budget.

    Are baseball activities, like sitting in the dugout keeping the book?😎

    I believe need to be subscriber: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6273808/2025/04/16/mlb-top-10-front-offices-executive-vote/ As we did last year, The Athletic polled 40 of the top decision-makers from across the sport .... – and offered anonymity in exchange for unvarnished insights into how their rivals do it. It’s not just that the Brewers do more with less. It’s the fact that the big spenders keep poaching their leaders, yet Milwaukee keeps right on winning. Owner Mark Attanasio lost GM David Stearns to the Mets and manager Craig Counsell to the Cubs, but recognized there was no overhaul needed. Instead of hiring from the outside, he promoted Matt Arnold and Pat Murphy. “To not miss a beat, I think says a lot about the organization,” said one AL GM. “The organization’s culture has carried itself.” ........... and more

    Unless there is a downside to giving the shot itself (idk?), why not give it regardless of projected recovery time if there is any reason to think it could help an iota?
