    There have been a lot of opportunities to acquire hard hitting 1B/3B/LF/DH over the past couple of years and they have chosen to go bargain bin shopping over and over again instead and get Contreras/Urias/Adames/etc instead. It’s clearly been an organizational strategy that has lead to a bottom 3 offense this year.

    I don’t know about that, the only bright spot right now is Wiemer and that’s debatable considering his .215/.282/.414 line. Can’t even claim Frelick or Chourio are coming to save us right now since they are both sporting below average lines in 2023.

    Revamp the entire system from the scouting department to the minor league development to the major league hitting coaching to the actual players on the roster

    Idk I checked FIP rankings on 2 different websites and they both had us at 25th with 4.72

    I was looking at stats and we are essentially bottom 5 in offense, bottom 5 in pitching (both bullpen and starters) and 1st in defense. So I don’t think it’s fair to say that the offense has been letting the pitching down. They both stink. Good defense, great luck and a relatively soft schedule is all we have going for us.

    Who cares about backlash if the team is in the tank anyway
  7. umphrey
    I agree he sucks but he’s probably the best lead off hitter we have against RHP. Against LHP they should probably bury him in the lineup somewhere or bring him off the bench.

    My main take away was, damn the offense is going to be frustrating again. I know, 1 game, questionable ump, but that was the most noticeable thing.

    It's not that I want 1 more lock down arem (although that would be nice), what I want is 1 or 2 more Boxberger type guys, just someone with 2-3 years of throwing the 7th inning at 4.00 ERA or something. 1-2 more guys that I know they won't be a gas can for a month and then DFAd.

    Man our bullpen sucks, I didn't realize how bad it was until I looked at the names that actually made the team there. Williams and Bush are the only 2 guys you can trust there, they both have their risks, but that's typical for bullpen arms. Besides those 2 everyone on the roster looks like a guy who should barely make the team.

    2.2M guaranteed is a little bit of a screw up, that's the main one you can blame them for a little bit. This org doesn't care scout sunk cost.

    Houser at the moment has pretty low trade value. He’s not good enough as a 5th starter to interest a contender based on last years numbers. He doesn’t have enough upside to interest a rebuilding team as a reclamation project. His best place at least until the trade deadline is here in Milwaukee either in the bullpen or as rotation depth.

    If he signed a 5+ year contract today for some role with the team I would be happy but he’s had 1 foot out the door for years now and I don’t think he has done anything that significant in the past year

    Long term it might be good for people trying to watch the brewers but I think it would guarantee lower payroll for a long time. Since they apparently over paid for TV contracts.

    I wonder if Stearns has had less effect since moving out of the GM role. I'll miss him, the team will miss him, he's not going to be a lifer though so at this point I'd almost rather get it over with and get some compensation for losing him.

    I can’t really have an opinion about this one without figuring out who gets DFAd/traded/optioned. I want to keep Brosseau, I want to keep or trade Hiura, I want to keep the door open for Turang and I don’t want BA to be an every day starter in the OF for the season unless some unexpected things happen. Also what about Toro? Can we even keep him?
  18. umphrey
    I can't believe I'm defending Hiura, I wouldn't mind seeing him go, but wasn't he a better hitter last year than Winker and Tellez?
  19. umphrey
    I was excited to see what Ruiz could do but this trade was 100% necessary the moment it became available
  20. umphrey
    119 WRc+ is an upgrade for us. He finished with .277/.333/.504 in his last 154 PAs. If he was as good as he used to be, he would be too expensive.
  21. umphrey
    I didn’t want to start a new thread but I was wondering why there wasn’t talk about signing JD Martinez? He seems like the last FA hitter out there that would really impact the offense and isn’t completely out of our price range.

    Josh Bell has been very inconsistent in his career. I don't think Milwaukee is the place for him, We get the worst of all the hitters that come here. Sign me up for Abreu though. I think that guy is going to play until he's 40, doesn't need any coaching whatsoever and I don't even care if the power comes back if he hits .300 and takes walks.

    There are a lot of scenarios that could play out with Burnes and Woodruff. If they get traded away, I think the most likely is they go out as a 3 month rental. I think the 2nd most likely is that they get traded in the off-season then quickly sign an extension.
  25. umphrey
    I don’t think there is any urgency to trade woodruff or burnes and I don’t think they will do it. 2 years of control vs. 1 year of control, I don’t think it affects the return that much. Trade some other pitcher and/or some MiLB outfielders instead. We have a lot of minor league ammo right now.
