Warning Track Power

10 years $140 million for Will Smith. William Contreras is 26 now. A 10 year deal would take him to his mid-30s. An AAV of $14m a year seems pretty reasonable for a catcher who should just be hitting his prime, plus that bat plays at DH. Comparatively, Smith has a career of .264/.359/.844 in 1994 PA, whereas Contreras has a.276/.353/.818 in 1196 PA. I know Quero is coming but Contreras is here and has already produced at an all star level. I’d be quite happy with extending Contreras at this level. I’m curious about what others think of this as a concept.

I will irrationally angry if the Brewers deal Frelick. He is the exact type of hitter that they have not had in Milwaukee since…prime Cirillo? I see Frelick as a guy who has .320/.380 with 40-50 2B, 10 3B, 30 SB potential from the lead off spot (yes I know Yelich has 2 batting titles, but different type of hitter) if he reaches his ceiling. Build the entire team out of Frelick and Tyler Black type hitters (high AVG/high OBP). Deal Mitchell or Wiemer before Frelick.

DFA this guy. He’s been bad all year. Smoke and garbage doesn’t last forever

This is where I am as well. Plug TA into 2B and let Turang get some more run at SS for when Adames is either dealt or walks in free agency. Yelich, Frelick, Wiemer and Chourio aren’t going anywhere…which unfortunately might mean Mitchell is available. I’d rather deal a Zamora type but if I’m the White Sox I’m holding out for one of Black, Quero or Mitchell. Hopefully Arnold has some of that William Contreras trade magic in him to limit the return to the White Sox.

Counsell has amazing body language. He has no answers either. Great job Skip!

This team doesn’t have that much heart

Legitimately everything about this team sucks. Can’t move runners over with 2 on and no one out. Can’t hit with RISP. Give up runs immediately afterwards. This team is such a garbage watch and they wonder why attendance is down. It’s because it’s a garbage baseball team

I seriously despise this year’s version of the Brewers

What an atrocious approach and contratc

Can we please trade Yelich

Suter can be DFAd anytime since clubhouse morale is so low.

So Milner in to face three RHH. Great choices

Go Pack Go Yelling at yourself every time you walk off the mound does nothing if you give up runs 100% of the time. Clown

DFA Suter

Maybe Renfroe should plant his feet when he throws. Maybe Adames should throw his body in front of it. Maybe act like you care.
