    More than likely you weren't going to replace Nelson's 2017 innings with Nelson's 2018 innings anyways (I believe he pitched over his head). And if there is such a dearth of starting pitching then they better hold off on wasting money on Cobb/Arrieta because it wouldn't make much of a difference then anyways. I still see a strong chance they get Cobb. I'm just arguing back that this roster is not in shambles as many try to make it out to be. We are in a very good place as an organization. It is a great time to be a Brewers fan which cannot always be said.I agree with you that the roster is deep and strong in certain areas and it truly is a wonderful time to be a Brewer fan, as I believe the window is just opening. The issue remains that I would bet the Brewers are more likely to win 80 games than 90 and that is mostly due to the pitching staff. I worry the 2018 Brewers will look eerily similar to the 2010 Brewers, where the lineup had some absolute studs but still won 77 games due to the pitching staff.

    Yikes. You might want to rephrase that. I will leave it for reference but clarify that I meant Brewer fans who understand the difference between the small markets and large markets, meaning the Brewers do not have the financial resources to spend their way out of roster problems like the Dodgers, Yankees and Cubs. No snark was intended with "smart."

    Fans expectations may have changed but Stearns and Co probably have a very different idea of what those expectations are. It is why we are fans, and they are in the positions that they are in. Do we have a glut in the OF? Sure. But that isn't a bad thing. It keeps being written as if it is such a bad thing to have too many good players. And a "dearth" of SP is not how Stearns and co. would describe it either. Again, that is a fan's take because we haven't signed a big free agent this offseason. Sal Bando or Dean Taylor would even recognize that you cannot replace what Nelson did in 2017 with Miley/Guerra/Gallardo. I don't believe anyone is clamoring for Arrieta or Cobb specifically, rather they are giving an honest assessment of this roster's chances when Nelson's 2017 innings are being filled by that Big 3.

    What did you say a year ago when they entered the 2017 season with: 1. Guerra 2. Peralta 3. Nelson 4. Davies 5. Anderson DL- Garza I understand your point but the Brewers in 2017 hadn't just traded 3 top ten prospects for Christian Yelich, nor had they invested $80 million in Lorenzo Cain. Those moves, combined with the success of 2017, have drastically changed fans expectations and smart fans recognize a glut of talented OF and a dearth of talented SP. This roster is oddly constructed and while I trust Stearns and think he has done an amazing job as GM, I think he may have misplayed his hand in regard to the OF and SP.

    Put this in the Spring Training Thread too but wanted to post here as well: If the possibility of having 2 of Woodruff, Suter, Guerra, Miley, Gallardo in the rotation didn't push the needle to sign Cobb or Arrieta, then I don't think the idea of having 3 of them will push it either.

    Please end this...

    Amen to this and I am a believer that Villar will be a blend between 2016 and 2017. With all things being equal, and in this case it should be given Villar/Walker are not long term solutions, I roll with Walker for 1-2 more years and hope Hiura is legit and ready in 2020.
  9. Warning Track Power
    I will feel much better about the Brewers chances in 2018 if they have a rotation of Anderson-Cobb-Davies-Chacin-Woodruff with Nelson coming than Anderson-Davies-Chacin-pick 2 of Woodruff-Guerra-Gallardo-Suter-Miley. Suter is the perfect long man for this team which should mean Gallardo goes bye bye. In an ideal world, Woodruff takes #5 and runs with it and Guerra/Miley are depth in the minors solely in the event of injury.

    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/03/the-lack-of-a-market-for-neil-walker-doesnt-make-sense.html Speculation of a Freese-like contract of 1 year @ $3 million. Go sign him Brewers. Please. This seems like a no brainer at this point.

    You need to change your name on this site to The Raptor or Brent Suter. Awesome story about youth pitching! No need to be a jerk. I was being serious man. I truly appreciated the story. Sorry if it didn't come off that way.

    I have zero interest in dealing Knebel. He is worth more to the Brewers than they will receive in a trade. Which, coincidentally, is also the reason Domingo remains a Brewer.
  14. Warning Track Power
    At this point in time, I just want Arrieta, Cobb and Lynn to sign. I am tired of waiting and want to move on with setting some personal expectations for the Brewers this year...as well as getting used to the fact that Miley/Gallardo will be in the #5 spot
  15. Warning Track Power
    Amen. However, because he is a Cub (or you could insert Yankee, Dodger, Red Sox) he should be the centerpiece of an Archer deal. Whereas because Santana is a Brewer (or you could insert Padre, Pirate, Royal) he should be a tertiary piece in an Archer deal.
  16. Warning Track Power
    In my post I said 5+ and I would be more willing to guess the high 5s than the low 5s. Miley in 2016-2017 has a 5.48 ERA, 4.85 FIP and 1.57 WHIP!! Gallardo in 2016-2017 has a 5.57 ERA, 5.30 FIP and 1.54 WHIP!! If Derek Johnson can make either of these guys serviceable to a tune of a 4.5 ERA in 2018, he should be signed to a lifetime contract as pitching coach.
  17. Warning Track Power
    Do you think him and woodruff could combine for 64 starts 320 ip at a 4.7 era? I think Woodruff can give 30ish starts and be similar to 2013 Wily Peralta. 4.37 ERA/4.30 FIP seems about right. 1.41 WHIP seems a bit high as I see Woodruff around 1.30. Miley, Gallardo, etc...I see being 5+ ERA, 1.4+ WHIP types that will have us lamenting the Brewers didn't upgrade by signing Arrieta or Cobb. As of now, I really see the 5th spot in the rotation being so bad that it will inhibit the Brewers ability to reach the playoffs.
  18. Warning Track Power
    I am getting nervous that the Brewers believe that Wade Miley is an answer to one of our rotation spots.
  19. Warning Track Power
    This is what I hope the Brewers do here shortly.

    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/03/yankees-rumors-neil-walker-brandon-drury.html Cross the Yankees off the list for Neil.
  21. Warning Track Power
    This makes me believe that Arrieta is down to Brewers, Nationals and Phillies. Cobb is down to the Brewers and mystery teams.
  22. Warning Track Power
    Even though I think it would be a very wise decision, I just don't see the Brewers bringing Lucroy back. To quote Mark Murphy the Brewers have "crossed the Rubicon."
  23. Warning Track Power
    Vogt out 2-3 weeks with a strained throwing shoulder injury I would say a backup C is needed. Vogt may be done given how poorly he threw already.

    Todd Zola is a fantasy baseball writer but I definitely found this tweet worth mentioning. Everyone has an opinion but Braun being 3rd best hitter in baseball if all things are equal is fun.
  25. Warning Track Power
    Bob Nightengale is one baseball writer I respect immensely. Interesting to hear the Brewers would like two not just one SP.
