Braun doesn't have the stretch down yet. Keeps arm close to body when receiving throw at first.
-
Villar is cooked. Haven't seen him on the ball in forever
-
Love Santana's bat, just whips that head around.
-
ONE GAME IN I KNOW. But glad not to see Villar. I'd be really surprised if he goes on to have a good year. Looked like same approach yesterday as all last year.

It is seeming like a possibility at least that Choi makes it over Aguilar. More value in LH bat? Was Aguilar slumping months worse than Choi's slumping months last year?

Brewers re-enact scene from "THE SANDLOT"
MoreTrife replied to A Swing and A Drive's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I get the feeling they have a role for him in mind once he officially hangs up the cleats. But I certainly don't begrudge him wanting to play professional ball as long as possible, and I think it's pretty cool that the Brewers have given him the opportunity to do that. I could see him in a multitude of roles with the team, including radio color guy one day. While his videos are goofy, if you even listen to his podcast, he comes across as very intelligent and baseball-saavy, while not taking himself too seriously. While you hate to put the cart before the horse, his career path has a lot of similarities to Bob Uecker's. Good call on the Ueck comparison. Obviously Ueck is a legend, but I'd like to see a similar personality fill his shoes. Sheets and Dillard come to mind. -
I'd say no with 100% certainty. But do you have a statistical analysis to back it up?!?
-
So historically, does Spring Training record ever matter? 12-6, just behind Cubs...
-
Ugh, I really don't want to just waive Aguilar. I really hope Stearns finds a creative way to keep him. Like someone needs to hit him in the knee so he starts on the DL.
-
Amen.
-
I know it's spring training but the weak showing so far from Shaw, thames and arcia are concerning.
-
Apparently just precautionary due to wet mound.
-
Eh, I had no problem with HH. It was fun. I see no harm in posting rumors or calling out said rumors as false. I was puzzled when people aggressively challenged HH and was puzzled when HH got offended. It's just a forum for discussion not a court of law. No need to be so serious about it.
-
I think Villar will be much closer to the Villar of 2016. There are a LOT of regression candidates though as well. Unfortunately I think a BIG candidate to regress is Shaw. Revert back to 500 PA 2016 BOS Shaw.
-
It was just reported that Guerra actually has an option... EDIT: Saw on previous page this mentioned already.
-
Great changeup.
-
And a better offense! I'm optimistic.
-
Agreed but have to combine that with more revenue sharing or salary cap so small market teams can compete.

Random news and notes for MLB 2018
MoreTrife replied to young guns's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I'm not liking the reports of a slimmed down Schwarber...that's an x-factor for the Cubs. Could go from very good to dominant with a better fat boy. -
Done with keon...blue?

Saw this quote from C.C. Sabathia in an article in The Atlantic (https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2018/02/the-issue-at-the-heart-of-mlbs-free-agency-debate/553841/?utm_source=feed). Total Captain Obvious moment. Can't believe it was ever any other way. “When I was a free agent,” the 37-year-old said of the first time he hit the market, “you got paid for what you did. Now, guys are getting paid for what they can do throughout their contract … [General managers] are getting younger and smarter, and want to get more value out of a player.”

This would all be solved with a Stearns trade. Santana or Aguilar. If he doesn't pull one off I'll be really disappointed for the first time with him. The chance to use a redundant quality piece (Santana) to get a piece of need back (SP or elite RP) has to be used. Or secondary decent redundant piece (Aguilar) to get a decent RP. Hope Stearns hasn't overplayed his hand and left us with this (sort of) mess.
-
I would not want to lose Aguilar for nothing. I can't imagine Stearns would let that happen. Just pondering logjam in OF/1B.
