    Goodbye, Jhoulys. Just wasn’t his year.

    Dubon for Smith I’ll do it for sure if I think the team is good enough to be buyers

    Good god I hope we aren’t relying on Suter for a playoff push

    We have a depth problem in our farm system that makes these deals really hard to get done. To me I think it is Hiura or nothing because no one really wants Ray or Dubon. Posters here don’t even really want Ray or Dubon and it’s obvious. Maybe we can make a deal with Turang but he’s a stretch as a headliner and we don’t have interesting throw in pieces, not without adding someone like Woodruff anyway.

    He's fine for our current roster. In the upcoming years I think we should stay open to any bargains at SS and potentially replace him 2020 or 2021 depending on his stock and FA/MiLB options.

    I think Lawrie would have been a better player 2015-16 if he wasn't kind of a nut job and bouncing around teams. I think it's possible he could have a career year in an age 30 or 31 season, I don't know how long it's going to take him to get back to baseball shape though.

    Still fine with saving space for mid season trade or MiLB call up rather than stocking up from the bargain bin

    I like fan graphs but they can be a bit “behind the times” sometimes. They never really figured out how to value high leverage relief like most of the league did several years ago. Anyway, it goes to show you how unconventional the brewers actually are with their pitching.

    Wasn't our payroll pretty low 2015-2016 or 2016-2017? I was hoping they would bank some of that cash for years like this one.
  11. umphrey
    I think we're done, maybe $5M more at most to open and we'll have another $5-10M at deadline
  12. umphrey
    What's the Braxton hr they are talking about?
  13. umphrey
    I'm looking for a league this year, was in a dynasty that folded last year. Will fill a dynasty slot if the scoring is decent.

    He was by far our best pitcher at the highest MiLB level...

    I don't see Arcia as a superstar with the bat. The Alcides Escobar comp is a good one I think and it's not just a Brewers thing. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/instagraphs/projecting-orlando-arcia/

    Villar is worth holding on to, he seems valuable being young and pretty good at SS but it's a tough trade market. Rebuilding teams want someone younger, all in teams want an elite player with track record, pedigree, and only if they happen to have a hole at SS. Trades we could make are: -Maybe there is a team like Tampa or the White Sox with a guy just like Villar but he plays 3B and they have a top 3B prospect, 1B or whatever -Sell to anyone for lottery tickets I'd rather have Villar unless that perfect trade is out there
  17. umphrey
    Villar at 3B, Scooter at 2B for 2017. Maybe mid 2017 or 2018 we want to look at a real 3B and Villar goes to 2B, Scooter is probably either platoon, util or traded. Villar gets kinda penciled in as our long term 2B but he has to outplay the competition to stay there.

    It's simple, give Maldo most of the ABs this year out of politeness then it's Susac's job to lose. We drafted a lot of catchers this year and some of them are doing well especially that 2nd rounder so maybe we have one of those ready when Susac is getting around 30 years old. Unless something goes terribly wrong with him he's our starter for the next 2-3 years.

    I wonder what the alternative was Morrison + Crow + Lillis? Morrison + Crow + Lillis + Garcia? Crow + Lillis + no 5% overage? I have no idea how much money Morrison was asking for and if that had anything to do with it

    At this point, that's unfair to Erceg, who has faced college, and now the start of pro competition, vs McClanahan, who has seen neither. The Brewers have done a great job here, giving themselves the opportunity to find out who will have the better career, and hoping it's a photo finish. McClanahan cost a lot more. Erceg is more polished. I don't think they would have spent so much more on McClanahan if they thought he was an inferior prospect.
  21. umphrey
    No idea, I thought it was a below average draft when it was first completed but they signed more guys than I thought they could. McClanahan is probably better than Erceg, and he's doing well in rookie ball right now.
  22. umphrey
    A bit of an over exaggeration. A change needs to happen though. The guy looks like he needs a year in the minors to get right. Can he come back after that? He needs to figure out his change up to have another 150 ip year and I'm not sure it's going to happen. And his value as a reliever is pretty low with his current k rate. I'm sure he'll play but I don't know if he will open the year and finish the year in the starting 5 again.

    I think we are watching the end of peralta's mlb career
  24. umphrey
    Move him for who? Rivera needs playing time and Aaron Hill needs to be benched? I do hope Aaron Hill isn't starting for us in July but I'm not THAT eager to bench him.
  25. umphrey
    Honestly it's probably better for the team to keep them in the bullpen. Thornburg, Smith, Blazek those guys could be nice trade chips as 8th inning guys with 3.xx ERAs. Put them in the rotation and they are probably 4.xx ERA guys with injury histories and the contending teams aren't looking for that.
