Better idea. Enjoy the ride, play to win, let him walk at the end of the deal and let his 30 million dollar a year contract be someone elses problem. Why the heck are we always so quick to deal away all of our players? He is a generational talent. Keep him here on this wonderful deal, its the reason we traded for him in the first place.

Crazy idea...take on Greinke and his contract as a deal for Ray. Send them 2-3 lotto tickets in A ball. The benefit to them is getting out from under the Greinke contract.

Has he ever thrown an inning of organized baseball since drafted?what a waste of a very high pick.

so long as there are humans calling sports games, there will be humans complaining about them. I like our announcers, but then again, I have never felt like any particular sports announcer was worth worrying about or changing my enjoyment of the game.

Keston Hiura called up, Shaw optioned
JackNicholson1974 replied to jjgott's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
yeah that tweet was super confusing because Tom made it sound like Shaw and the ability to become a FA or something. Technically, every player has to "accept" being optioned - but their alternative would be just quitting baseball I presume. -

Can Shaw refuse to be optioned? Haudricourt sent out a tweet hinting at as much. -
Imagine being worried about trading Jordan Yamamoto for Mike Trout.

Moving Eric Thames
JackNicholson1974 replied to Harold Hutchison's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I don’t think Thames has increased his trade value much, but do people think he can be the 1b answer going forward this year? -
Bad news Burnes. He has a bright future, but he needs to go down.

Bought my 6 year old a 2019 MLB coloring book featuring over 40 players from MLB. 2019. Over 40 players. No Brewers. No Yelich. Brock Holt got a page.

Milwaukee Bucks 2019 playoffs Rd 2 vs Boston Celtics

Didn't he literally hit the shot that won the series in game 7? I think he did. -
Wrigley Field - Best place to park the car?
JackNicholson1974 replied to JackNicholson1974's topic in Off-Topic Forum
We expect to get to the Skokie Yellow line lot about 1030-1045...hoping that by being there that early that we can get a spot? -
Corbin Burnes moving to bullpen role
JackNicholson1974 replied to Eye Black's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I still have a lot of hope for Woodruff figuring things out in the rotation. He has looked so close, so may times this year. -
Wrigley Field - Best place to park the car?
JackNicholson1974 replied to JackNicholson1974's topic in Off-Topic Forum
looked into the skokie train. That seems brilliant. Thanks for the tip! -
I am taking my son to the Brewers/Cubs game on 5/10 at Wrigley Field. I've only been to one other Wrigley game and that was like 25 years ago. We should be down there by 11am or so. Where should I park and how much should I expect to pay? Tips? Locations?

Youtube TV just upped the price from 40 to 50 dollars. That was at the same time as adding the Discovery Networks. Maybe $40 was too good to be true with their prior lineup and the cost increase isnt totally attributed to adding those channels, however... I fear that YTTV is headed to becoming just another bloated cable TV company. I didnt want any more channels. There are a lot of streaming options and it took me YEARS to find one that caused me to quite cable. Reaction online has been interesting...users are overwhelmingly upset about the price increase, and then they usually finish their rant with..."If they just add such-and-such channel I will be happy" and they do not realize they are the problem. Obscure channels like Discovery, HGTV, TLC, etc, which generally only show reality TV trash are best left to the bloated Comcasts and Charters of the world.

I am sure both Keuchel and Kimbrel received multi year offers this off season. Maybe even 3 year offers. I am sure, at some point in the off season some team offered them a one year deal over the QO. They said no. I still do not see what will change in-season that will cause a team to go 4-5 years or at this point, even a one year deal north of 18 million a season. And again, I say this as "are they going to get MORE than what was offered in the offseason at this point, not, will they get signed eventually.

No Undefeated Teams This Season
JackNicholson1974 replied to BruisedCrew's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Somewhere the '72 Dolphins are popping bottles of champagne. -
Right, Right, I agree with all of this. But there have to offers out there right now. Maybe 2 years from some teams, maybe 1 year. What could possibly make those offers increase between now and the start of the season, or now and June, or now and the All-Star break? Even if there were an injury, or some player pitching ineffectively, it should only compel a team perhaps currently not in the mix for his services to offer a one year deal to fill the gap. Nothing that happens in-season is going to cause a team say, "wow, that injury hurts, lets give Keuchel 5 years and 120 million, even though we had no interest before" It might cause a team to say "here's a one year deal to help us today, or maybe even a two year deal since if Keuchel signs in June he may not be effective or ready until July. Maybe Im just a rube and Scott Boras is the know-all, be-all, but I am not sure that once a season starts additional multi year offers will come rolling in.
-
Is it fair to start questioning whether Keuchel and Kimbrel will play this year? I know it is a long season, and perhaps a starter or closer goes down soon or early, but even so, I would think that would only entice a team to pull the trigger on a one year deal - and I am sure there are already many one year deals out there for both of these guys. What will change in the next week/month/season where a team will over pay in both dollars and years? I just dont see it happening. Are they prepared to both go full LeVeon Bell?
-
I keep hearing that there are 100 unsigned free agents. Outside of maybe the top 8-10, I assume that they will all have to settle for minor league deals and big league camp invites? Is there a list somewhere of all of the remaining FAs?
-
I agree completely. Super athletic. A good kid. Not a very good Big Ten Basketball player. Very disappointed in this lack of development.
-
With the NBA trade deadline today I must admit, the lack of player movement is absolutely killing me man. I am dying for a resolution for these players. Lets get a move on.

I am glad the Brewers didnt trade for him (although that price is reasonable). I like JTR but the day he stops catching (whenever that ends up being) is the day he is a ho-hum player, and that has always been my fear, that the Brewers would trade for him and then to keep him healthy he plays a bunch of 1b or something. (not that he has a history of injuries, but he is a catcher for goodness sakes)
