I assume he means that "free" means we simply have to take on the contract similar to if he passed through waivers and we claimed him. This would mean a $25m commitment in 2015 and a possible $27.5m commitment in 2016. 2 years and possibly $52.5m...I would take him for "free"

Who is the 2014 version of Jerry Hairston?
Warning Track Power replied to Baldkin's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I also second the idea of adding Plouffe...he would be a perfect addition to the bench and could provide some insurance at a number of positions as mentioned, as well as provide the option at potentially moving Ramirez to 1B for 2015. However, I believe that the most likely scenario with someone being the 2014 Hairston...Tony Gwynn Jr. or Darwin Barney. I just don't see the Brewers making a deal that would be the equivalent of the 2011 Hairston. An arguably better backup at 2B, SS or a 4th OF is really all the Brewers will add in my opinion. I would love to be surprised and see a deal for a 1B like Yonder Alonso or Yasmani Grandal but I just don't see it. -
I'd rather have Barney than Bianchi and Weeks in 2015, assuming those are our options. Additionally, if the Brewers think Scooter needs a RH 2B platoon mate post-2014 when Weeks is gone, a career .267/.319/.700 against LHP with Gold Glove D, isn't too shabby.

Matt Kemp
Warning Track Power replied to Warning Track Power's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/mlb/story/_/id/11229198/matt-kemp-los-angeles-dodgers-open-trade-not-playing-every-day-agent-says Kemp is still owed $107m over 5 years. If the Dodgers were to pay say $40m, meaning the Brewers would be on the hook for 5 years $67m, would you be interested in possibly acquiring Kemp to play RF and move Braun to 1B? This is obviously a move for 2015 and wouldn't occur until the offseason, but would this make the Brewers a better team? I don't have strong feelings either way to be honest but it might be worth looking into in the offseason given the Brewers lack of 1B options. -
Yonder Alonso should be the target in my opinion. I would love to pick him and Yasmani Grandal up but having Lucroy, Alonso and Grandal for 1B & C seems excessive. Maybe some combination package of Estrada, Jungmann, Maldonado + for Alonso and Grandal.

If I am the Brewers FO, I would be targeting Cole Hamels as the possible fill in for the Estrada role in the rotation. Ideally, the Brewers would simply bring Jimmy Nelson up and have him take Estrada's place but the reality is the Brewers are woefully short in the ace department which makes us especially vulnerable come playoff time. If the Brewers are fortunate enough to make the playoffs, our Game 1 starter is...? And that Game 1 starter is going to be pitching against Kershaw, Strasburg, Wainwright, Bumgarner, Cueto, etc...I don't like the idea of being down 0-1 in most playoff series given the talent of pitcher we will likely be facing. Hamels would provide the Brewers with a pitcher capable of matching up with all of the aforementioned pitchers save Kershaw, who is in a world of his own. What would it take to get Hamels? Same as David Price? More/less? While I am not necessarily advocating for trading a ton of talent for an expensive, aging ace, I am also not blind to the fact that the Brewers depth of a rotation is fine for the regular season but might come up short in the postseason reminiscent of the A's of previous seasons. Hamels is a more ideal target than David Price in my opinion given he is signed long term and could be a long term solution in the rotation.

Please stop subjecting us to Estrada starting RR.
-
Hello Yankees....perfect time to deal whatever they can to replace Jeter. They'd give up whatever it took to get him I am sure.
-
I wouldn't mind targeting him at the deadline to fill the 4th OF role if KC decided to play Maxwell and Dyson in the OF over him.
-
Actually I wonder what it would legitimately take for the Cavs to trade the Bucks #1. If you're the Cavs would you do 2 of Sanders/Henson/Knight & an unprotected 2015 #1 pick for the #1 pick?
-
http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/chat/_/id/50741/nba-insider-chad-ford Trade was speculated Knight and Sanders for #8 and McLemore...count me in on that deal. Draft Wiggins/Parker @ #2 and Marcus Smart (if he falls), Elfrid Payton or Julius Randle at #8. Have a nice double-double F combo with Parker-Randle or an elite athletic wing with Wiggins-Giannis with Payton dishing it and McLemore at the 3 point line. Either way I do the proposed deal in a second.
-
I would try to deal Estrada to the Padres for Alonso, Grandal, Headley, Maybin, Smith etc...I think that the larger point is that reflects on how far Estrada has fallen in my eyes and what his value has become. Alonso and Grandal could fill a need at 1B long term and Maybin or Smith could fill the fourth OF role perfectly. Alonso, Grandal and Maybin all represent ideal buy low candidates for the Brewers in 2014 and I would be very excited if the main Brewer piece heading to SD in any deal to get one of those 3 was Estrada. Do I think it's enough to get one of them? Probably not.

I want Wiggins or Parker period. I think Exum is a roll of the dice for this franchise that is currently seeking funding for a new arena. Have to get a Parker or Wiggins to help sell the arena. Having said that, the Bucks are supposed to be very active in looking for more lottery picks. Let's say the Sixers did offer 3 & 10 for 2 and the Kings offer of 8 for Sanders was legit. If the Bucks could end up with 3, 8 & 10 and drafted Exum, Randle and Payton to go with Giannis, is that worth losing a Parker or Wiggins? (Yes, I know the Sanders deal is independent of losing Wiggins/Parker. I guess is Exum and Randle worth losing out on Wiggins/Parker?)
-
Mlb.com says we're the front runners to sign him: http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/prospects/watch/y2014/ipad/#list=int

My super ideal dream scenario: Bucks trade Giannis in a package for #1 or #3 and end up with Parker and Wiggins. Never going to happen but I would gladly trade Giannis straight up for one of Parker or Wiggins.
-
What about looking into whether Didi is available to fill the backup 2B/SS/3B role? With the Diamondbacks in the tank, you have to figure a number of there players are going to be up for sale. Are they sticking with Owings at SS and Hill at 2B? Anyone know the Diamondbacks plans for their MI going forward and is Gregorious a part of that equation?
-
OH NO...I see it now: RRR 2015 = Phil Garner 1993
-
How about a little bump... I know Lee is out until July but what would it take to get him, slot him at #1 in a playoff series and go from there? I love the Brewers as a regular season squad but am nervous in any do or die situation where we may face Kershaw, Wainwright, Strasburg or Bumgarner. Cliff Lee would go a long way to quell those fears. Assuming he's healthy, he's owed $25 million on 2015 and possibly $27.5 in 2016. Is this an all in type move Attanasio may have in mind?

Grady Sizemore
Warning Track Power replied to RockCoCougars's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
After being out of baseball for 2+ seasons is it fair to think that he just needs some more time? Either way, a flier on him is better than anything I see with Herrera. Plus it won't cost anything. I'm in. What does it hurt or cost? -
Time to bring in Wang....to throw 95 at the Diamondback bench

EAT THAT GIBSON!!

Roenicke repping California...straight thug!

Jungman, Yo, Roach for David Price
Warning Track Power replied to rickh150's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Any trade for David Price, assuming it is even realistic, would require him signing a long term contract. Given that won't happen, I don't think we need to even entertain this as an option. Having said that, we're "all in" apparently, so who knows. I will not be happy if Nelson is included in any deal as the rotation in 2 seasons hopefully includes 2 #2s in Peralta and Nelson. -
I see it as just the opposite...Hammond being here, with Drew fired. I think that even with the disaster of a season last year, a better coach could have gotten the Bucks 10-15 more wins last year. Drew is a terrible coach IMO. I would hire Lionel Hollins.

I really hate RR's managing. A lot. Bring in Rickie right away, and don't waste Overbay. I knew he was going to switch out for the LHP, doesn't he? I really can't stand his in game managing.
