    Or they can give him away. Not my first choice but if he's preventing the Brewers from making other moves or blocking someone they think can do as well or better for less money it may be the best of bad choices.

    I wonder if one of the starters with a year left on their contract gets traded at some point. Maybe in a package deal to get another starter with more years of control.
  3. Thurston Fluff
    Either that or Durbin moves to third. It does address the infield either way.

    Was nice to dream what he could have done for us but the price was too high for a small market team that wants to remain competitive for the long run. The best realistic outcome was he remains in AL. He did so all is well.

    That'll help his career.

    It's a little early to be signing guys like him. Rea isn't someone you're worried about losing out on. Nothing against him but players of his age and caliber are fairly interchangeable. Teams can wait to see how the market shakes out for higher level players and still get him or someone like him later on.

    Thinking about it a bit more I wonder if small market teams are ok with the current system because without it the price of players in their prime would have to go up. If we accept players are going to get a certain amount of the total pie the only thing to be figured out is how to spread that set amount around to the players. The current system pays older players well past their prime a significant portion of it. Mostly paid by large market teams that can waste their money. That leaves less money for players in their prime, which in turn gives small market teams access to them. The players are ok with that because they know their payday is coming. Take away the past their prime, making too much for their abilities from the equation and the cost of productive players in their prime would have to go up.

    When there are enough have-nots to refuse to refuse the next CBA unless major changes are made to even the playing field.

    This makes signing Churio an even shrewder move. Got to think there will be more teams signing top end prospects before they hit the majors. That might be a good thing. Players making more during their most productive years should be how the system works.

    I was thinking the same thing. Why bother signing a great GM when all he has to do is sign checks? A chimp could have done that. Hell, Sal Bando could have done that. I really hope he doesn't opt out after five years. That will mean the contract isn't worth it.

    Teams who sign players for long term contracts knowing they probably won't be viable contributors on the back half do so because they can afford to eat the back end of the contract and still be competitive. That teams can afford to simply cut a player loose and eat tens of millions without hurting the product on the field by doing so is where the imbalance effects small market teams. The Giants solved their shortstop problems for the next couple seasons at the very least and all it will cost them is five years of lesser play that they can solve with more money or their farm when the time comes. The Brewers cannot do that.

    Personally I have more problems with carrots in the league. Teams stockpile carrots and demand like 20 peas to get a single one of their carrots. By the time you get a good one you don't have any peas left to have a decent mix. But but your point of veggies in the league is on point. It's got to the point where some teams just focus on fruits and skip veggie altogether. Players are going to start complaining about the food spread and we'll have even less ways to entice free agents to come here.
  13. Thurston Fluff
    I agree with you for the most part. The part that does bug me is we don't have a shot at free agent players in their prime like Soto or Ohtani. It also would be nice if we could afford miss on an ocaasional large contract without burying us for the next five years.

    Found out our van was on it's last legs Monday, passed a kidney stone on Wednesday and yesterday our water heater died. There was a certain uniformity to it all. It was every other day and it was one each of home, auto and health issues. While I can't say it was the best week ever The van didn't leave us stranded somewhere, the kidney stone came and went in about 12 hours. From what people tell me I was lucky, and I discovered the water heater leak before the entire basement was flooded. All in all not as bad a week as it could have been.

    Nothing against Montas but him and a proposal for a golden at bat being the most interesting topics of discussion shows how boring the off season has been so far.
  16. Thurston Fluff
    The players should be getting a set portion of the overall money made but I refuse to accept the only way to do that is to let some guys be overpaid by a few teams that can afford to overpay.
  17. Thurston Fluff
    The only reason it's a steal now is teams like the Dodgers overpaid so much for other players in the past.

    Yesterday was the first football game I've watched in several years. When did football become an endless string of penalties, refs talking, injury time outs, and replays with a play or two sprinkled in over three plus hours? Or was it always like that and I just never realized it? It was kind of boring to be honest. But when at thanksgiving with family one must do as family does.

    I've been waiting for something interesting to happen in baseball. Still waiting.
  20. Thurston Fluff
    I call people like that a Phoney. It works on several levels.
  21. Thurston Fluff
    That's probably why Sanchez isn't on the roster anymore.
  22. Thurston Fluff
    It's Gregg. Get your facts straight.

    If often wonder how good Eldred would have been had Phil Garner not essentially ruined his career.

    The third most popular one was Thurston Waffles who was a cat. He's dead, so an ex-cat. I wonder if this site was ever first in a Google search before. It was definitely a first for me. Either way WE'RE NUMBER ONE, WE'RE NUMBER ONE!!!

    I googled Thurston Fluff for the heck of it. The first result was Brewer fanatic and the second was my facebook page which I primarily use as a storage space for original humor. There are zero other Thurston Fluffs out there.
