    Seems time to deal some excess 1B/OF for pitching to make room for some of these guys. Black and Bauers should have some value. Not like we dont have another wave of outfielders coming right behind them, either.

    brewers look really gunshy on these challenges right now
  3. cragi
    That was my belief to start the season as well. However, thats not how its playing out and maybe i shouldnt have qualified it as "starting" pitching but another reliable arm somewhere. Last year's starting pitchers were Peralta, Priester, Miz, Quintana, and Woody. Only Miz is standing right now from that group and he's even sidelined at the moment. We had high expectations for Zerpa. Koenig gone. Sproat doesnt seem to be ready. So yeah, lots of potential in the minors, but I think they will look for another arm that can be plugged in.

    Arnold made pretty clear when they traded away Durbin/Mona/Siegler that they were expendable because they didnt want to block prospects (Pratt, Made, Fischer, Pena, etc). Then they signed Pratt, making their intent clear. Everyone else is just a very temporary fix and someone is going to be filling 3B/SS soon from within. Brewers need starting pitching right now and not much else.

    yeah its actually remarkable what this team has been able to sustain without a good number of their best players. In the past, a single one of them would be enough to tank the team. If they can hold serve with these guys, they could be sitting pretty in a couple months.
  6. cragi
    any updates on Pena yet?
  7. cragi
    probably not the best time for snap judgment on a team when 3 of the top 5 OPS guys from last year's team are injured and you've just faced both Cy Young winners back to back

    shhh. im trying to get to my first T-Rats game of the season next week

    gotta be thinking Lara for Perkins at this point
  11. cragi
    That seems to be the entire staff this year if you think about it. Just makes me wonder if the Brewers are adjusting their approach to the season to preserver the arms more. Remember they dont look at pitch count but rather the number of high intensity pitches

    yeah that popped out at me as i was reading through it. try an inflation number of 5+% and curious to see those results instead. though historically, 2% is fair. Also, the win-win of this for both sides is that it motivates the Brewers to bring up sooner rather than later. He could lose a year waiting around otherwise. i think they are looking at serious inflation plus getting him up sooner
  13. cragi
    kind of surprised not to see Fischer at this point. Seems like a number of guys have fallen in the rankings.
  14. cragi
    yeah i had to chuckle at one commenter posting during the last game how bad this offense is right now with the injuries. i get they could be betteer, but having the most runs in baseball right now hardly qualifies as "awful"
  15. cragi
    yeah seems the talent barely stops in Appleton, but nice for us to get to see some young stars for a change

    I think its more about the increasing trust Mark has in Arnold and maybe the staff has in their own evals. You just dont make a move that sets the market like this as a small market team without his approval. Who knows on Turang. Maybe they were weighing an early offer but chose prudence until he was priced out of the market. Could have been a few guys who they hesitated on blew up and now they trust their evals a lot more than waiting for them to justify it. They've been slow to go all in on anyone under Arnold, and its prevented any kind of big hit to the org that would set the franchise back years.

    Lockridge, the punisher. Wonder if there's ever been a single AB where the batter took out the pitcher, catcher and ump
  18. cragi
    I can recommend in appleton. Wellspring at the Cross
  19. cragi
    how does it work in terms of years of player control when you sign someone that young?
  20. cragi
    will the brewers go wire to wire in run differential this year?
  21. cragi
    when you consider their lineup should be even or a net positive over last year, that borders on criminal
  22. cragi
    at what point do we start adding stats to hitters and catchers for challenge succcess
  23. cragi
    probably posted somewhere, but anyone know offhand which ST games are on brewers.tv?
  24. cragi
    that seems crazy to force teams to utilize the same technology, killing any competitive edge they might find in a sport that already favors the rich. Way for MLB to find ways to kill competition
  25. cragi
    i dont think its fair to say they plateaued, either. frustrating they cant get over the big market hump in the playoffs, but I dont think they've ever been in the position of having both the best record in the leage AND the undisputed #1 minor league system at the same time. That is very rare territory for any team. The major league talent is improving while at the same time, the minor talent is improving. If they cash their chips in now, a lot can go wrong and they sacrifice their future for one swing at this. On the current path, they will get a lot more kicks at the can. When they feel confident they are on par with the dodgers halfway through the season and healthy, then may want to take a bigger shot. But they are in position to win for many years right now.
