I'd imagine that we would get SD to eat some salary, and then flip him when Pratt or Made are ready. It's insane and off the wall.
-
For sure. National prospect rankings are not the opinions of FOs. Just grasping for some sort of point of reference.

Why was the Suarez thread locked down so fast?
JCREW replied to TURBO's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
You're good at prospects. What's your MKE farm equivalent to the players the M's sent to ARI in this trade? And would you have done it? -
I mean, he did trade Esteury Ruiz for Josh Hader, so like, same thing, right?
-
De Vries and 3 more according to MLBTR. WOW!
-
This one has to be pricey.
-
Some of you are prospect geniuses. I know that Fangraphs will come out with something eventually, but I would love to see a Brewer-specific comparison of some of the prospects who have been traded in other deals. For example, who are the best comps in MKE's farm for the players in the Duran trade or the Suarez trade. It doesn't have to be exhaustive, just a single comparison like this: Prospect X, now a former Mariner farmhand, is very similar to Prospect Y in the Brewers' system.

I wish that there could be one-year loans, like in English football. Let Skenes and maybe a couple of other greats who play for crap franchises play for the Angels for one year so that Skenes and Trout can actually win a ring. Otherwise they're destined to barely ever make the playoffs while suffering (for completely different reasons) under Nutting and Moreno.
-
I definitely agree about Collins and Turang. And again, up until very recently, I've been against moving infield pieces around too much. But it's just killing me to watch Joey struggle so much.
-
Yeah. The Angels are buying right now. That's crazy to me, except for the fact that it is exactly Arte Moreno's track record.
-
How about this for insane and off-the-wall: Collins, Quintana, Cortes -> SD Tatis -> SD OF -> SD SS Bogaerts -> MIL
-
I had been in the Ortiz fan club for most of the season so far. But I feel like I'm headed out the door. I wish there was an obvious upgrade. @Joseph Zarr would say that the upgrade is playing in Biloxi right now, and his name ISN'T Pratt. If we can't swing a surprise deal for Neto or another controllable SS, I'm in favor of giving Ethan Murray a shot.
-
We should definitely think about using our pitching depth in the bullpen instead of trading for a coin-flip of a bullpen upgrade. It feels like bullpen pieces have been expensive in prospect cost over the last couple of days. A bunch of our young guys will be running up against developmental inning counts anyway. I think we need two weeks of Turang at SS with Collins at 2B. Let's just see what happens. I agree that Siegler and Monasterio get few ABs, but if we had better players in those spots, Murph might use those bench bats more. I haven't done any homework on this, but finding someone who can play util. inf. and has a good track record of PH appearances would be great to slot in instead of one of those two.
-
Dang. I definitely would have been willing to pay that.
-
And our bench players are pretty weak.
-
If Turang is gonna be sketchy at 2B all of a sudden, we may as well give him a week or two at short to at least see what happens. (Collins, Durbin, or a Trade at 2B/3B)
-
OptiGard is my favorite for this.
-
It seems like just yesterday, the Reds had way too many controllable, projectable infielders. What happened?
-
Contreras doesn't like threats to his playing time.

Labor Discussion - Salary Cap, Local TV Sharing
JCREW replied to Austin Tatious's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Just the math I did on the brewers… it could be wrong. revenue of $335M payroll of $125M operating income of $24M if the payroll had been $167.5M (Half of revenue), then it would be $42.5M higher than it actually was. if their operating income was only $24M, then spending $42.5M more on players would put them at a loss for the year. I'm not an accountant or an economist, so I may be understanding some of those terms wrong. I’d be happy to be corrected and be smarter tomorrow than I am today. -
Labor Discussion - Salary Cap, Local TV Sharing
JCREW replied to Austin Tatious's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
This is so interesting. It suggests that if half of revenue went to players, basically all franchises would operate at a loss. Am I reading that right? I suppose that operating a stadium for 81 games a year is a higher cost than the other sports. This sounds childish, but I wonder what owners ACTUALLY, REASONABLY hope to achieve with a salary cap. If they want to guarantee that they keep a bigger piece of the pie, the players are going to fight that tooth and nail. If they want to increase competition, a salary cap won't keep CHW, ATH, and PIT from tanking. Huge small market bias here, but both sides want things to change, so what to do? Here's another plausible list. - more money goes to minor league, pre-arb, and arbitration players - the owners get more taxation on extreme salaries or extreme payrolls (enough that it acts like a soft cap) - some of that taxation goes toward player benefits - some of that taxation goes toward revenue sharing - penalties (payments into a player fund of some sort) for tanking or tiny payrolls -
Yeli in left? Frelick in center? Collins in right? Let JackJack rest the hammy. or start Perk, DH Yeli, and let Contreras have a full day off.
-
It’s not hate or disgust for me. Just pure schadenfreude. The picking up the bullpen phone before the ball landed video was glorious.

Conspiracy Theory: they talked to him before the game about switching back to SS and it got in his head.
