Got non tendered by the Padres. He's had 1 good year and been below average since. Wouldn't mind picking him up to see if he can bounce back. Maybe he does and you have a legit 3b for 3 years till he hits FA or you flip him for more assets

Luis Sardinas to Mariners for OF Ramon Flores
ewitkows replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I would have thought SD would have been all over him. Maybe they take Segura -
Minor league RHP Cy Sneed to Astros for SS Jonathan Villar
ewitkows replied to And That's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
last year he hit 280/340/410. I'd take that at 2b or 3rd with +Def in the short term -
Could it be we are just freeing up a extra spot on the 40 man to protect more of our guys?

Lind, Lucroy, K-Rod available (as per Olney)

I don't know that Beltre is really blocking Gallo. He's 36 and only signed till 2017. -
That's a big if

twins won

8:37am: Heyman also eliminates the Rockies and the Phillies from the mix (via Twitter). That leaves the Brewers, Reds, Cubs, White Sox and Twins as the remaining options. As I noted before, the presence of Joey Votto in Cincinnati and Anthony Rizzo on the Cubs’ roster makes that pair of NL teams seem like long shots, to say the least. The White Sox and Twins each have long-term first base options in Jose Abreu and Joe Mauer, though Park could certainly split time at first and DH with either player. Looks like it's really down to 3 teams. Us the white sox and the twins.

Last year at AA he hit 300/375/485. Maybe he doesn't stick at 3B but you got another good cheap guy who could fill in at 1B too.
-
They need a 1B and a C , So lind and Lucory for a package centerern around Kivlehan and Gohara. Gives us a 3B in the upper minors and a high upside pitcher. Another 10-15 rank prospect would have to be added for the deal to be legit but this as a starting point.
-
3B is a bigger concern going forward than scooter. We have a dearth of guys who can play 2B but no one long term at the moment who can play 3B
-
Maybe look at the Yankees , Eric Jagielo is at AA. He's been snakebitten with injuries but he can hit and has some power. Not sure if he's going to stick at 3rd defensively but if not he could be a 1b.
-
Phillys bloodbath starts The Phillies announced today that former top prospect and starting right fielder Domonic Brown has been outrighted off their 40-man roster. As a player with more than three years of big league service time, Brown will have the option to elect free agency rather than accepting an assignment to Triple-A. Also outrighted were catcher/first baseman Tommy Joseph, outfielder Brian Bogusevic and outfielder Kelly Dugan. Brown and Joseph were top guys in their farm system at one point

The only gut you might be able to trade garza is papelbon and I want no part of that
-
I think Gatewood gets to MKE before Lara. I think he'd be a pretty good 3B and at 6'5 he should be a good 1B if that spot is open when he gets here

MLB considering expansion to Mexico, Montreal
ewitkows replied to nate82's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Actually I think Mexico City would be a big draw to a lot of Latino players. There's only so many spots, they might have to overpay a bit for FA but so do we. -
What Should the Crew do this Offseason?
ewitkows replied to Crash2303's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
While you're not wrong. Why wouldn't we wait for them to rebound while playing for us and then sell higher a few months into the season? There is no contract situation that rushes us to trade them. Unless Lucroy demands a trade behind the scenes or something. I would definitely shop Lucroy to see where his value sits. I think he has enough of a track record that this year probably didn't do too much to hurt his trade value. If I'm wrong and people aren't willing to give up value, then I'd hold on to him hoping for a good season in 2016 to bring that value back. The reason I would look to trade him is risk vs. reward. Unless his trade value is really low right now, the only thing we gain by holding onto him is having a good player on a bad team. The risk is that he get injured or have another bad season, in which case his trade value would be diminished and potentially zero if it's a bad (career ending) injury. He just had a serious concussion, and that worries me. One more hit, and he could be forced to stop catching, and possibly retire. As to the argument that has been made that he will help the young pitching staff, I agree. However, our backup is Maldonado, who should be just as good at helping the young staff. If we didn't have Maldonado, that argument would hold more weight. You have a much higher opinion of Maldonado than I do. I think he's a back up at best. Black hole with his bat. With SS/2B and 3B already below avg you can put another crap bat in the line up -
If we dumped Braun , Lucory, Lind and Davis we could retool and have a stocked system and be ****** for 3 or 4 years plus having a few top 5 picks. I should have elaborated more.
-
and by playoff contender I mean an outside shot
-
Greinke is the only one who would help us to be a playoff contender.
-
All we need to do is finish in the bottom 5 for 5 or 6 years and we could be Houston.
-
There was talk of 1B but this kid they called up has been hitting really well. He's already made 90 mil and this is his first bad year. He's a classic buy low and maybe you get the 5 war guy for a few seasons
-
Last year he ops'd .817 and the year before 1.040
-
Since we have no one in the pipeline that would be ready in the next few years how about Hanley Ramírez ? Yes I know he makes 22 mil a season but Boston has no place to play him and could pay half to get rid of him. His contract is only through age 35 so it's not like your stuck with him till he's 40. Thoughts?
-
He's got 4 HR in 37 at bats. If you give him 600 AB thats 64 HR for a season. I can deal with 200k for 60HRs
