    So it is a little bit of a reach for the Brewers. It would be nice to get the catcher of the future though.
  2. Mr Southpaw
    Brewers send out Andrew Fischer and Jett Williams for Tampa Bays Rays Caden Bodine C and Brody Hopkins RHP AI says it favors the Rays a little bit, but overall it is fair. Any takers?

    I think our front office has done a great job build our minor league system. We have multiple positions where we have an abundance of talent. Let's take a dive... Shortstop 1. Jesus Made, 2.Luis Pena, 4. Brady Ebel, 15. Ricki Moneys, 17 Trey Ebel, 19. Diego Frontado, 21. Jose Rodriguez.. I could have stopped after Brady Ebel and I would have an awesome list. I know not everyone will work out, but it is hard to believe four or five won't make it to the big leagues. Outfield 3. Josh Adamczewski, 6. Braylon Payne, 10. Jett Williams, 16. Sawyer Strosnider, 24. Handelfry Escarnacion, 25. Kyle Jones, 29. Brailyn Antunez. Adamczewski and Williams got moved of of shortstop. One could argue it was because our abundance of shortstop prospects! Strosnider could be the masher we have never had. Antunex had an OPS of 1,023 in Single A as an 18 year old. We would two more potential studs on the list if we didn't make that trade with St Louis, oh well, we did get a World Series ring! First Base 5. Andrew Fischer, 12. Blake Burke, 13. Luke Adams, 26 Eric Bitonti. What a problem to have, three power hitting first/third base prospects (I am stretching it a bit with Fischer at third base). Adams is so patient at the plate. I don't think it will be a problem for him to be the right side platoon at first base in the majors.

    The Brewers do similar stuff all the time . A cy Young winner for 6 years of Joey and 6 years of DL Hall. You just hope the prospects turn out.

    $2.5 million to Mis . What does Henderson get?
  6. Mr Southpaw
    It is hard to argue when an unproven rookie makes $850,000/year. It is easy to argue when Mis and Henderson make $850,000. That is what extensions are for. Both Mis and Henderson betting on themselves is dangerous for both of them. It is also risky for the Brewers to extend.

    In a perfect world Priester and Harrison would just pitch to their capacity. 1 Mis 2 Priester 3 Harrison 4 Henderson 5 Gasser In the not so perfect world of reality it can be so much different. Hopefully Harrison has figured out what was ailing him and is back at good first half Kyle. I would start Priester in the pen and let him work his way back. Let him be the righty version of Ashby. I am sure the organization has an appropriate plan of action. Drohan and Sproat should continue to improve. Crow and Hardin stay in AAA for the start of the year. I would not spend on a Free Agent, but would look for another young arm through a trade.

    How much is put into pensions and other benefits per team?
  9. Mr Southpaw
    Sounds like a good short term plan.
  10. Mr Southpaw
    I agree that they are not factory workers. Maybe the owners should offer them commission contracts like high end sales people? 1 million dollar salary for position players and $100,000 per home run and lose $10,000 per strike out.. Pitchers get the base 1 million and $10,000 per strike out, but lose $100,000 for every home run they give up! Add in any other incentives you would like. I would watch that all day long.
  11. Mr Southpaw
    I don't get the revenue argument. When a dude goes to work at the factory does he care about a paycheck or revenue? The owners are willing to put up an additions 3/4 billion dollars in salaries. Who cares about revenue?
  12. Mr Southpaw
    1. Sign Sir William 3 years/$75 mill with an additional 4th year with a team option at $25 mill with a team with a $5 mill buyout. Either 3/75+5 or 4/100. 2. Extend Made. Switch hitting middle infielder that can run and built like a linebacker don't come around very often. 3. Listen to offers on our other talents. Andrew Vaughn (assuming Jake Bauer stays), Garrett Mitchell, Sal Frelick, Joey Ortiz can all go, but only for an great deal. I think our pitching will work itself out with Priester and Zerpa coming back and Sproats and Drohan improving with age. We also know that Harrison can pitch well, we just need to get him over the line. Mis,Henderson and Gasser are a good 1,2,3 Priester at 4 and Harrison at 5. Maybe Woody on a cheap contract and limit his pitch count until September.

    By offering the cap and floor the ultra-rich and cheapo owners just get eliminated. The ultra-rich cannot spend as much anymore and the cheapos have to spend more or get out of the game. I think it boils down to the MLBPA and their greedy contract chasers and maybe a little bit of Boris and Company.
  14. Mr Southpaw
    .75 billion dollars is a lot of additional spending if the current floor offer was accepted.
  15. Mr Southpaw
    Will revenue sharing include the LAD sharing their Japanese tv rights?
  16. Mr Southpaw
    So I won' be able to make double or triple the amount of my piers. Textbook definition of greed.
  17. Mr Southpaw
    I don't get the players side. The Floor will increase salaries 738 million a year. The cap will reduce salaries 473 million a year. That is a net increase of 265 million. More money in my pocket! There is no way the spenders like the Dodgers and Mets can reduce salary in one year. It will take a number of years to get to the cap. So the rich boys now will not get hurt, they just won't be able to spend more for a couple of years. The savers will be forced to spend immediately... to the tune of 738 million. If I am a pre arby or arby guy, I am like "Let's get this thing done".

    With the new floor being at least $180.2 we should just sign Contreras.
  20. Mr Southpaw
    It seems like the owners are giving in on just about everything. MLB increases cap and floor in latest proposal, sets 2028 target I am pretty sure everything will be worked out before the start of 2027. Some of the things will hurt the Brewers (International Draft), but not that much. Not too specific on revenue sharing. With a $180.2 floor they should definitely sign William Contreras.
  21. Mr Southpaw
    Once Bauer accepts the QO… Vaughn to the Mets for Gabe Davis 6’9 rhp and Dylan Ross 6’5 rhp
  22. Mr Southpaw
    That is exactly what I meant. The Yankees Mets Phillies fans of the world one performance for pay where they boo all day.
  23. Mr Southpaw
    I am sure his agent is shopping him around as we speak. He has 2 weeks to make a better deal. I am sure he can get more money than $23 million. It is just a matter how many years it will take and how much Jake wants to get booed.
  24. Mr Southpaw
    The Twins could just re-trade him
  25. Mr Southpaw
    I am with Plush. He is not very good at fielding ground balls. Putting him at 1B takes away all the long throws, but you still have to field your position. Our best left handed 1B fielder in the minors is Burke. Black and Fischer both have question marks with their fielding. Long term (if there are no improvements) Burke is at 1B and Fischer at DH.
