I'm in agreement with you. I just wish his first taste of the Majors was a spot start or two before the move to pen this year. Would of much rather seen Hader than Espino.
-
Please no Cooper in OF...too slow, it would be like putting Aguilar out there. Brinson should be up sooner than later.
-
Not to be the bearer of bad news but you didn't call it. What you called was Hader being "permanently" moved to the pen. That's not the case. As I just stated on another thread Hader is up because the Brewers are in 1st place and he's the only one in AAA that can step right in and be a big time contributor in the pen and from the left side to boot. The back-end is overworked and this move is equivalent to Stearns acquiring someone without actually giving anything up. The bonuses are this gets him out of CS (where someone with a filthy slider like him is greatly affected) and he gains MLB experience. Just like with Sale and Johan. Hader will be right back in the rotation after this season. If a starter is traded by the deadline it would make sense for Woodruff to take that spot and keep Hader in the pen that way both are contributing. It makes sense for them to do it I just didn't think they were going too until later but clearly they're shooting for the playoff spot, as they should be. I don't recall saying he was permanently in bullpen but I was correct that he was next up. My main problem is they stretched him out to be a starter and then cut his innings to relieve and then will end up stretching him out again to start in August. Hope he doesn't have any arm issues going forward. Hader also walks his fair share so hopefully it was a just a combo of Co. Springs and horrible umpiring and won't be the case in the majors.

Wilkerson should of been called up
-
Pretty sad when your AAA team is in first place and they have their 3rd bullpen game this week...Send some starters up...ridiculous planning brewers organization especially when they knew Hader was going to get called up....There are actually guys on the team that want to win.
-
Neshek in last year of deal...guy is going to get a huge payday next year.
-
Going up and to the pen...guess I called that one. I'm now 2 for 10 on predictions.
-
Co. Springs needs some pitching relief...bullpen taxed and throwing guys 3 times in 4 days is just wrong. Looking for some arm injuries to start popping up soon.
-
Limiting his innings can only mean he's going to pen for now...we will see going forward what they do with him.
-
I was never on the Wagner bandwagon but what happened to him...He's been pretty awful this year...13 homers given up too.
-
Yep...pretty much every game.
-
Wagner has been awful this year.
-
Ouch...6 run lead blown...only in the Springs.
-
Not happening. http://m.gazette.com/sky-sox-explain-strategy-behind-prospect-josh-haders-abbreviated-starts/article/1604622 Was it the sky sox or Stearns explaining it?
-
As silly as it may seem, that's what they are going to do. Anything Stearns or the organization says can be taken with a grain of salt. Most of the starters in the Brewers organization are going to end up as relievers. I just wonder how many innings Hader will get in the Brewers bullpen this year.
-
His defense is fantastic...better than Thames or Perez in OF.

2017 Minor League Transaction Thread
dacbrewers replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
I don't get it...Snow gets promoted and Wilkerson doesn't? Skysox need starters not relievers. -
On the flip side, Scahill saved barnes another 2 runs.
-
next up...Hader.
-
Brinson should be up and Franklin needs to go.
-
Great points...I think part of the problem with him was brought on by Brewers switching him back and forth from starter to reliever. Last year starting a couple games early in season when not properly stretched out didn't help his stock. Keep him as a reliever. Once Barnes started relieving they never went back to having him start games.
-
so much for Blazeks AAA domination...lol...i jinxed him.
-
I have stood next to him and I guarantee he is not 5'10".
-
I'd be all for it if he was still in the 40. But he's not. If you're going to jettison someone from the 40 for another SP it might as well be Woodruff. Blazek still only 28...thought he was in his 30's.
-
Great, when Thornburg was rehabbing an injury and focusing on mechanics.... Thornburg also has a history of great stuff and command, Cravy not so much. Davies, Guerra, Barnes, Knebel all pitched comfortably below 4.5 FIP. Cravy's ERA last season was the definition of a SSS fluke propped up by a unsustainable strand rate and only used in low leverage situations. He is a swing man, not much else and only if he is carrying a 8+ k/9 rate. If Stearns is making roster decision based off of ERAs in 22 inning sample sizes he has no business being a GM. Youre right about Steans, he makes desicions based on advance analytics, but sometimes those analytics get you pitchers like Feliz.
