  1. I definitely think they'd be in over Michigan unless Michigan makes a deep big ten run but Wisconsin has a better record and more high quality wins than Michigan. Wisconsin also swept Penn St and has more high quality wins than them as well although they are closer and a win or two in the Big Ten Tourney would help them
  2. Seems like most bracketology sites have Wisconsin as part of the last 4 in as of this morning. Feels like the Ohio St game could be make or break, if they win that'll give them another Q2 win which I think would get them in, a loss though certainly might knock them out. If they can beat Ohio St & Iowa then I think they are basically a lock to get in and might even get out of the first four
  3. So they get Ohio St either way now on Wednesday thanks to Nebraska beating Iowa. Feels like they need to beat Minnesota & Ohio St at minimum
  4. Assuming none of Frelick, Wiemer, or Turang break camp with the Brewers I think it's very likely Perkins starts the year in the Big mainly as the backup CF. Maybe he gets a start or two against a lefty to allow Mitchell a break before one of the top prospects comes up. I do think his stay would be pretty short though
  5. I agree I don't think Wisconsin would be as good as Marquette has been and I wasn't trying to say that, but rather Wisconsin has played a much tougher schedule and held their own against Q1 teams. Wisconsin has played 3 more Q1 teams & 5 more Q2 teams. Imagine if they took those 8 games made them Q3 or Q4 games, we're talking likely 4ish more wins or so, so likely put them around a 20-9 record. Maryland, TCU, & Kentucky are all in the top 25 at 20-10.
  6. It's pretty wild to look at the difference between Wisconsin & Marquette with their schedules. Marquette has played 15 Q3 or Q4 teams, whereas Wisconsin has only played 6 such opponents, that's nearly 3x as many "easy" games for Marquette. Against Q1 teams they are pretty similar, Wisconsin is 6-7 whereas Marquette is 5-5. I'm really curious where Wisconsin would be if they had played Marquette's schedule. I'm not saying they'd be a top 6 team but they might be in the top 25. As for last night's loss, it didn't seem to hurt them that much, Lunardi still has them in
  7. The incentive of an XBH vs a single is quite different
  8. Not necessarily. It's likely Hiura or Voit platoons with Rowdy at 1b and could easily use Caritini in a round about way to platoon with Winker by allowing Contreras to DH against lefties, that would keep his bat in the lineup & allow him rest from catching
  9. What makes you think it'll be a Naquin/Toro platoon instead of Naquin/Brosseau
  10. This is a great point and actually shows the value of the Naquin signing. Injuries are inevitable over the course of a season and having someone like Naquin to take the strong side of a platoon during that stretch is much better than the alternative.
  11. I guess I just have more faith in a Naquin/Brosseau platoon for a month. It seems fine to me for a short period until Frelick is up or Taylor is healthy.
  12. Are we sure about that? A Naquin/Taylor platoon in RF seemed fairly likely and now it seems easy enough to put Brosseau in the Taylor role with Anderson flipping between 3b & RF. I feel like Naquin's projected role hasn't changed much and he's probably only on the team until Frelick comes up unless more injuries occur
  13. I think to start the season it's fine. If he struggles you can switch over to Frelick when the time comes. But Mitchell does give you a decent floor with stellar defense and baserunning that he at minimum shouldn't be worthless as the everyday CF for a little bit
  14. This is basically how I feel, I feel like I won't have time to get up to grab a beer or food or whatever now. But for watching TV it'll be great
  15. I think the issue is trying to balance win now & development. It's definitely best for each of them to consistently face lefties, but that also likely hurts the team this season. Having 3 LH rookies in the lineup against lefties is asking for us to struggle, but it's also what is probably best for each individual player so it'll come down to trying to balance that out
  16. Yea we aren't talking about what appears to be a fringe major leaguer with Cousins. Cousins has be great during his time in the majors, you play the options game when the 2 players are of similar quality.
  17. Then why do you consider Strezlecki a lock? He has options
  18. Why are you thinking they'll only have 7 relievers? You have 5 locks and say there are two open spots. But most teams carry 8 now? Unless you also meant Houser as a lock and just aren't counting him?
  19. I'd be absolutely floored if Lauer wasn't in the rotation all season barring some sort of injury
  20. The Brewers literally had the 2nd highest OPS with RISP last year
  21. Out of curiosity can you explain why we have two threads on the same topic? On other forums something like that happens they either merge the threads or lock one up so there is a centralized location for discussion, having two separate threads makes the conversation harder to follow
  22. I think it's more likely he gets non tendered next offseason then it is that we bring him back. He rates very similarly to Chris Carter who was non tendered by this same front office at the same point Rowdy will be at next year. Rowdy last year had a wRC+ of 110 which was 16th among 1b, he was also the Brewers worst defender by dwar. It's possible Rowdy tears it up next year or that he significantly improves his defense but without either of those occurring I can't imagine the Brewers will be in a rush to lock up an average bat at 1b who provides negative defense.
  23. I'm just explaining the system, I'm not pro players or pro owners.
  24. This was never about helping the team unfortunately, this is about helping all 30 clubs keep players salaries lower(and Burnes and his agent trying to raise player salaries). That's the system we have and it's unfortunate
