    Jason Parks writing for Baseball Prospectus is/was very much a Rangers system guy, and he ranked Sardinas very aggressively (at least as of pre-2014). I trust that opinion more than other pundits who know what they are talking about but are not as familiar with the system. Assuming that Gallo, etc. are off the table, there is nobody in the Rangers system I would rather have coming our way than Sardinas. The Brewers have no right getting that kind of player for one year of a mediocre pitcher like Gallardo.

    Please stop comparing Luis Sardinas to Hector Gomez, that is just bonkers. Hector Gomez had some promise like seven years ago when he was a teenager out of the Dominican Republic. He should not be affecting any decisions about the 2015 roster or beyond.

    Elvis Andrus 2.0 for one year of Gallardo would be an absolutely incredible return. I see the concern about him being too similar to Arcia, but Arcia is still a ways away and that's a problem I wouldn't mind having if it becomes an issue. Plus one of them can play 2B. Opinions differ, but I am excited about the more optimistic scouts (like Jason Parks, who knows the Rangers system extremely well and is someone whose opinion I respect) saying he has better tools than Profar and ranking him as a top-75 prospect in all of baseball. I don't think he has the raw power potential that Gomez did, but he sort of reminds me of a young Gomez only at SS rather than CF. Not a specific comparator, just that he's someone whose defense is ahead of his offense but the tools could catch up someday. Whoever mentioned Hector Gomez: Hector Gomez hit .196/.238/.255/.494 over 406 PA at AA Huntsville as recently as 2013. Hector Gomez is not the answer to anything. He probably shouldn't be on the major league roster and he certainly doesn't offer the long-term upside of someone like Sardinas. Granted, as with any prospect, Sardinas could tank and end up being Hector Gomez a few years from now.

    We have depth at SS/2B??? Segura was absolutely horrendous for most of last season, Scooter should not be facing a single pitch against LHP, and there are zero projectable backups anywhere in the system. A utility infielder like Sardinas is one of our biggest needs, and if he continues to develop he will quickly bump either one of Scooter/Segura out of the lineup.
  5. SRB
    Sardinas is a plus defensive SS, he just started playing 2B more because of the depths at SS in the Rangers system. He already saw some major league action as a 21-year-old last year, and while he didn't hit all that well he held is own and was adequate for a UTIL type player (.261/.303/.313/.616, 125 PA). I think the Brewers could move him into that role, backing up Scooter and Segura, for 2016 while he continues to develop. We're talking about a potential impact player though, at least if you believe some scouts over others. Baseball Prospectus is very high on him and thinks he has better tools than Profar, whereas he didn't make Baseball America's top 100 list and is seen more as a Cesar Izturis type by some. If you side with the optimists, then he becomes a more more intriguing player than either Scooter or Segura long-term, in my mind.

    Some Luis Sardinas info from Jason Parks/Baseball Prospectus, who ranked him #72 in baseball pre-2014 (I don't have $$$ access to the full article): Would be my #1 target in any Gallardo deal. Ideally with a top-10 pitching prospect and a major league piece like LHP Robbie Ross.
  7. SRB
    Packers sent packing. Can we get a Gallardo update now???
  8. SRB
    Though I suppose we might still hear names leaked tonight and they're just waiting a few days to formally announce until after physicals, etc.
  9. SRB
    Guess we're in a holding pattern...

    Link if it's plausible. I know nothing about their system. http://www.lonestarball.com/2015/1/18/7759149/texas-rangers-rumors-yovani-gallardo-acquired-by-texas-per-rosenthal They seem to be discussing two top-10 prospects as a starting point (which might become top-5 prospects in our system). Nick Williams keeps getting mentioned, though I'm not sure if the Brewers need or want a LHB corner OF in particular. If they're going all prospects then they will probably want pitching. They also seem fine giving up Luis Sardinas, though it seems opinions differ on him. Baseball Prospectus had him as a top-100 prospect the past couple years. Seems very intriguing to me (great defense at 2B/SS, switch-hitter, held his own hitting major league pitching and is only 21).
  11. SRB
    Reading the Rangers SBNation website, they seem to be predicting a bigger return going to the Brewers than we are
  12. SRB
    My dream (somewhat feasible) return would be Luis Sardinas, 21-year-old switch-hitting SS/2B.
  13. SRB
    I really, really do not want Shields. If they want to spend in that range they might as well go crazy and try for Scherzer, who is actually an elite pitcher.
  14. SRB
    One of the pundits already tweeted that Profar isn't in the deal, as if that was up in the air.
  15. SRB
    Any guesses? I'll go with LHP Robbie Ross + a low-minors prospect.
  16. SRB
    You're demoting Sixto?! Sixto Lezcano was arguably the best player on the 1979 Brewers (5.6 rWAR, 5.2 fWAR) so even adding a Hall of Famer like Rickey Henderson and assuming that Henderson would have been able to immediately start playing near his peak wouldn't have improved the team all that much. The better alternate history move would be to take-back the Darrell Porter trade and thereby substantially upgrade Charlie Moore at catcher. The problem with all these scenarios though is that the 1979 Orioles were a juggernaut and the Brewers would have needed well over 100 wins just to make the playoffs.
  17. SRB
    Aoki is an average defender, whereas Parra is one of the best in all of baseball. I'll take the elite defensive sub over Aoki's slightly better offense given who our two starting corner OF are.
  18. SRB
    Wow, that seems like an incredibly poor showing for Aoki. Fire Aoki's agent!
  19. SRB
    He was a joy to watch circa 2004-2006. Much better than Kershaw, in my opinion.
  20. SRB
    When was the last time the Brewers went an offseason without signing a single major league free agent?
  21. SRB
    Trading Darrell Porter in 1976. I think if he had still been on the roster, the 1979 Brewers probably would have been the best team in franchise history and maybe could have won a World Series (though tough to say because the 100+ win 1979 Orioles were still very good and might have kept us out of the playoffs like they did in reality). 1979 Darrell Porter (with the Royals): .291/.421/.484/.905, 7.6 WAR Also would love to have Michael Brantley back.
  22. SRB
    I don't understand trading for a catcher, we already have Maldonado and shouldn't be taking away Lucroy's defensive innings anyways.
  23. SRB
    I don't understand the logic whereby Lara is #5 and Medeiros is not in the top 10. Are you going based on pure stuff/upside or not? Oh well, doesn't Tom H basically write these or something?
  24. SRB
    Wei-Chung Wang at #6, very interesting. These lists are always preposterous and a waste of time, of course, but interesting nonetheless.
  25. SRB
    Praying to the Baseball Gods that it's the Brewers, though knowing our luck it will probably be St. Louis... I think if a team offers him 4/$16M or 3/$12M he would have to accept. A $5M posting fee seems a little rich for Milwaukee though, so again I doubt it is us.
