    You make so much sense that you should change your username to "Voice of Reason". Seriously Amen to what you wrote. Villar is one of the big success stories so far. A switch-hitter who gets on base with plus baserunning skills who can play 5 defensive positions? He is a big asset to the team moving forward

    Isan Diaz has only had 156 AB's in A Ball and is about to turn 20 years old this week. Time will tell, and it is way too early to pass judgement on him. What happens at the trade deadline this year will tell us a lot. Stearns has a lot of pieces he can move and it will be fascinating to see who gets moved and (of course) who we get in return. This June (The Draft) and July (The Trade Deadline) are the biggest months in the early stages of the Stearns rebuild.

    No Braun, but one helluva strong defensive outfield

    I keep reading about Delvin Perez being a glove first SS and not at all a sure thing with the bat. Not sure why we'd want him at 5
  5. 3and2Fastball
    Senor Junior pitched well today!
  6. 3and2Fastball
    Part of the future. Certainly could bring back a good haul though. You'd have to listen on trade offers but the price should be pretty high
  7. 3and2Fastball
    Villar's value is in part his versatility. Once Arcia is up, Villar will be the guy who plays SS on the days Arcia needs a rest. Let him continue to get valuable reps at SS until that time

    He isn't a free agent until 2020, and Stearns obviously recognizes he'll need 3-4 great relief pitchers in the window of 2018/2019/2020 if the Brewers are competing Having said that, there isn't anything particularly special about Jeffress' season so far. He's been OK. A 1.244 WHIP and 5.3 K/9 is nothing to get excited about

    Walsh seems capable of hitting MLB pitching. His numbers right now represent a very small sample rate.
  10. 3and2Fastball
    Schwarber should be a 1B. Rizzo is the only reason he wasn't playing 1B for the Cubs. Schwarber would hit 40+ bombs a year playing half his games in Miller Park. Again I don't see that trade happening
  11. 3and2Fastball
    in a heartbeat, yes. Schwarber + for Braun? Absolutlely. Would be shocked to see that happen. Can you even deal players on the DL?

    http://www.brewcrewball.com/2016/5/9/11638968/milwaukee-brewers-trade-rumors-chicago-cubs-interested-in-ryan-braun Seems purely speculative, but none the less interesting
  13. 3and2Fastball
    Thus my wording of "possibility".
  14. 3and2Fastball
    At this point, Hader & Nelson look like possibilities for a future rotation. Still need 3 more. I trust they'll get one in the 1st Round of the upcoming draft.
  15. 3and2Fastball
    You can't make errors on baseballs you cannot get to. Unbelievably bad range can help one's error totals, but not the overall defense of the team. Melvin liked him because he hit some HR's. LOL

    The Brewers won 96 games in 2011 even with Yuni (-0.1 WAR) & McGehee (-0.3 WAR) receiving the 3rd & 4th most plate appearances on the team. The Royals won the World Series in 2015 with Omar Infante contributing -0.9 WAR in 455 PA's. The 2011 Cardinals gave Ryan Theriot (0.2 WAR) & Skip Schumacher (0.3 WAR) 400 PA's each & had no problem winning the WS. The 2007 WS Champion Boston Red Sox gave Julio Lugo, he of the 0.4 WAR, the 3rd most plate appearance on the team with 630. Even the best teams typically have a terrible player or two that plays plenty. Not someone that terrible defensively at a premium position
  17. 3and2Fastball
    Dealing Braun/Lucroy could ideally allow us to obtain 2-3 reliable starting pitchers for the 2017/2018 seasons. After that we need to Draft incredibly smart and mainly focus on pitching in the Draft. I would also really monitor Nelson's innings. No point burning him out in a lost season
  18. 3and2Fastball
    I've written it a hundred times and I'll do it again: if you are truly in "win now" mode you do not have Yuni B as your shortstop. You just don't.

    I'm just a youth & high school coach and in 3 seconds could tell you that Gray had/has way more projectable mechanics than Jungmann. Jungmann starts toward the 3rd base dugout and then throws across his body. His mechanics are a disaster
  20. 3and2Fastball
    Really illustrates how important it is to get things right in the Draft, and if you don't, it can negatively effect a franchise for years. The Brewers passed on Jose Fernandez and Sonny Gray to take Jungmann! The Brewers were still in the "signability" an "find guys who can help the team right away" mentality that year. Meaning: they could have signed guys that were more expensive, but they put all of their money into the MLB roster, so they didn't have an extra few million to sign draft picks, and they wanted to win in their "window" so they wanted older college guys with lower ceilings but higher floors, hoping they would get to the majors quickly. I consider Melvin's rebuild to have started once they got out of this mentality and started drafting higher upside guys. I think this was the Kodi/Gatewood/Harrison draft. Of course, the new rules that Melvin lobbied for helped them with the whole "signability" thing. Agreed and understood. The Brewers paid dearly for those 2 playoff appearances. I continue to think that Melvin was an epic disaster of a GM

    "Jungmann vs Arrieta" talk about a lopsided matchup!
  23. 3and2Fastball
    At this point it is "Jimmy Nelson & pray for rain." And Miller Park has a roof, so....
  24. 3and2Fastball
    It will be fun seeing how Nelson does tonight. This will be a tough test for him!
  25. 3and2Fastball
    The key to that trade is Isan Diaz. We likely won't know if it was a good trade for 5 years
