  1. This would be such a bummer to miss out on everything.
  2. Gross. Worst case scenario in my opinion.
  3. I only hope that if the Brewers don't land Archer, we somehow find out what the offer was.
  4. I am hoping Matt Arnold's relationship with TB helps in negotiations.
  5. Atlanta, Pittsburgh or Brewers...1 of them for Archer, 1 for Gausman and please God don't let us end up with Harvey.
  6. Starting to feel like this will be the guy. Archer or Gausman. I'll take it.
  7. If it comes down to these two, it's going to be Gray due to Derek Johnson.
  8. If the Brewers were able to get Archer without giving up Hiura or Burnes, then I think it is quite likely we all would be very excited.
  9. It's going to be Matt Harvey...and we all will be sad.
  10. One less suitor for Chris Archer I would imagine
  11. I am at the point that I want one of Archer, deGrom, Syndergaard and am willing to part with Hiura for it. The NL is so wide open right now and with a legit #1, I will take my chances given that the rotations of current playoff teams include #1s of Jon Lester, Aaron Nola, Zack Greinke and Clayton Kershaw. With a legit #1, I like the Brewers chances of going deep this year. Without one, I am nowhere near confident the Brewers can win even the Wild Card game.
  12. The only issue with that is that is leaves a hole the size of Nebraska at 3B next year. Only if they don't re-sign Moustakas. I am not advocating for my original post rather just trying to anticipate Stearns next moves. If Stearns extended both Moustakas and Dozier for 2-3 seasons then perhaps they bridge to the time when Erceg and Hiura are ready to take over. Like I said, I am just reading the tea leaves and this doesn't seem that far fetched.
  13. Was the acquisition of Moustakas really the precursor to two additional moves: 1. Moving Shaw in a deal for a TOR starter 2. Acquiring Dozier to play 2B I understand Stearns' GM speak regarding position-less baseball and that Shaw would be adequate there. However, it just seems so odd to me that they would do that type of transition mid-season during a year where they have the 2nd best record in the NL through more than 100 games. The timing just seems bizarre. It makes me think that the Brewers have other things in play specifically with Shaw. Would it make sense to include Shaw as the centerpiece in a trade to TB for Archer, where they can keep Hiura? To make up for the lost bat, they acquire an actual 2B in Dozier to cover the position until Hiura is ready? Are the Brewers a better team subtracting Shaw to land Archer and Dozier? A lineup of Cain-Yelich-Aguilar-Moustakas-Braun/Thames-Dozier is arguably just as good as one that includes Shaw. Add onto that now the Brewers have Archer leading the rotation. I don't think Stearns is that transparent but when you boil it down to the basics, I think this may be his plan.
  14. From his lips to Stearns ears. Archer and Ramos would be electric for the Brewers this season...now that our 2B woah have been solvdd
  15. Really think the Brewers will be targeting higher strikeout pitchers now that Shaw is our 2B.
  16. Brad Ford is saying Saladino is getting DFA'd
  17. Definitely not advocating for him but Hamels home-road splits have been pretty dramatic this season: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.fcgi?id=hamelco01&year=2018&t=p Home: 59 IP, 6.41 ERA, 1.50 WHIP Away: 55.1 IP, 2.93 ERA, 1.22 WHIP
  18. Gibson is better than you're making him out to be. He's having a fine season, really has become a strikeout pitcher and improved his slider. He was a top prospect coming up so this breakout season isn't out of nowhere. Obviously he's not DeGrom but for the right price he makes a ton of sense to try to get with Dozier. You are 100% right about my assessment on Gibson. I want the Brewers to make the playoffs but don't want to give up the prospect capital it would take to acquire a #3 pitcher. The Brewers, in my opinion, desperately need to upgrade at TOR SP, 2B, SS and C. I see remedies to 3/4 of those available currently with a trade for Dozier, a call-up of Arcia and, if they are truly made available, a deal for deGrom, Syndergaard or Archer (C is Pina-Nottingham-Kratz-Bandy whether we like it or not). I don't see an innings eater like Gibson as any better than Chacin, Anderson or Guerra. They are very, very solid rotation pieces for the regular season, but nothing that represents a true #1 in the postseason that will their stopper. The Brewers need a TOR SP to compete for a WS and if they don't get that I would prefer they exhaust the in house options of Woodruff, Burnes and Peralta (which gives you 6 SP with the aforementioned 3) rather than dealing for the Gibsons of the world.
  19. I’m very good with a Dozier trade. He’s my #1 target to upgrade the offense. I’m just not on board with Gibson.
  20. Justus Sheffield or Clint Frazier from the Yankees... If this is the range for Happ, please sit this one out.
  21. I would have traded him for Machado. I will still trade him for Harper. Other than those 2, yeah not interested. Third the top. Second the bottom.
  22. Why so they can basically "tank" the rest of the season in the middle of a playoff chase?? It's not tanking, it's giving your touted prospects a turn if the return isn't a game changer. The acquisition of Kyle Gibson does not turn the Brewers into World Series contenders.
