    We've seen a different approach regarding prospects at deadlines for a while now, so if these are the prices, I just don't see the brewers moving and that would be fair Add to that skubal might not be the same and that makes a doubly problematic choice. Not going to roll our dice on the future unless it's a sure fire ace

    yeah ive gotten the same feeling that this would be terrible. brewers bet big on international development despite the small market capabilities and now that its clear we can finally compete, we get it stripped away. Meanwhile the Dodgers and Yankees who have have been dominating the international game still get to play the same high stakes game, while taking away our sudden ability to compete. BS

    i expect they will definitely want 6 starters.. all the starters need to be spaced out for various reasons and Gasser has proven adequate lately and that translates to innings relief. Definitely one of Rom/Kuhnel/Yoho.. id guess Rom

    yeah i like pratt's measured approach. seems to be looking for a soft liner over the infield each team. better than swinging hard and grounding out that we see so much of

    if your angry fastball sits at triple digits, you shouldnt be sitting at 92 on your normal fastball

    that Sanchez challenge brought to you courtesy of Brice Turang

    think he is saving them up for Sanchez

    im not asking for more stats. as a stat head in the real world, i understand well how to use stats to justify a position, whether or not they tell the real story. The real story is that a lot of arms are down from the initial roster, torching the depth: Woodruff, Priester, Henderson, Crow, Zerpa, Koenig, etc. And we have a lot of youth on the staff, both of which are a significant concern for a playoff run. The stats say they are doing a good job of managing the "now", but not necessarily for the posteason, where innings pitched, experience and TOR matters more. We saw last year, and many analysts predicted, how the team wasnt built for the postseason. That has improved this year, but not necessarily enough to surpass the Dodgers.

    its not really about that. in addition to the pitchers struggling with health and the farm getting depleted, its a question of matching the Dodgers in the postseason by having 3 aces to work with. I think we all can see this Brewers team is going to make the playoffs, barring some unusually bad health the second half. Not saying they will make a move for an arm, because its possible to win it all with what they have, but their odds go up pretty significantly this year if they can add one more big arm.

    imo Jett couldve been the one called up if not for the slump last month. Looks like a fire has been lit but timing sucks for him
  12. cragi
    Brewers absolutely have a logjam of MLB OFs right now and the "problem" is only going to get worse. They should definitely be flipping these for pitchers, catching prospects, or a short-term 3B power bat. If they can get a decent return on Frelick or Badoo, you take it. They need to find a home for Lockridge, Lara, Braylon Payne, Adamczewski, Ragsdale and more No idea yet where Fischer or Burke end up.

    got all of the offense in this lineup. hopefully put up a crooked number tonight
  14. cragi
    An Ortiz/Hamilton platoon at 3B is an improvement on both offense and defense over Rengifro. Pratt at SS is likely a slight upgrade over Ortiz/Hamilton with a high floor and some upside. incremental improvement regardless and the rest of the lineup is good enough for the postseason. If we are going to improve somewhere at the trade deadline, its to add another really strong pitcher.
  15. cragi
    its been pretty agreed upon that Rengifro is a negative both on offense and defense right now. just hasnt put it together since the injury. Replacing him with Hamilton/Ortiz in a strict platoon solves that. Pratt's defense at SS is on par with Joey's but his bat has more upside. I expect we instantly upgrade the defense and the offense is neutral or better this year.
  16. cragi
    Perhaps Dylan O Rae would be a good candidate to move.. bouncing back after the injury and could be a prospect again
  17. cragi
    Kurtz wiht a legit shot at breaking Bonds record next year in Vegas
  18. cragi
    yeah i wondered when Rengifro hobbled a bit, it was like like lets pull him now with a nice long injury
  19. cragi
    YESSSSS
  20. cragi
    Dodgers, Braves, Cards, Phillis all lose.. Cubs losing
  21. cragi
    Payne's 12th HR in just 148 ABs. Seems like that was supposed to be one of the weaker parts of his game, so I have to think he is going to shoot up the rankings
  22. cragi
    adding more credence to whether we got creative with the rotation vs the Dodgers. as in we pulled a Dodgers on them
  23. cragi
    I just dont see Made on a playoff roster this year. His last few weeks show he is still adjusting to AA pitching. He isnt a major upgrade anywhere right now over Pratt/Williams/Hamilton/Ortiz. He isnt forcing the issue with his bat at the moment. The cost of starting his clock early is pricey and there is no concrete upside, and considerable downside of hampering development and losing cheap years from him.

    acquiring Skubal would also result in frequent sellouts the rest of the way. Between that and the merch sales increase, the money thing would likely take care of itself.
  25. cragi
    Woody and Burnes were a great combo but i dont think they had enough pieces and depth for a legit shot. And Miz seems next level.
