    Looks pretty good to me, though I don't think the Brewers pick until #16? So Fields might be gone by then.

    We could select Matt LaPorta, just because it would be funny. (In reality I'm sure Melvin is looking at potential dark horse candidates to stick in the bullpen).

    Interesting proposal, though I'm not sure Francoeur is enough of a financial burden for them to trade Herrera (who seems pretty well regarded), and I'm not sure it makes sense for the Brewers to take on $7 million next season when they could be spending that money on a SP. Given payroll constraints I think the best case scenario is to find some promising pieces off the scrap heap and hope some turn out (which, to be honest, is probably the most sensible way for bullpens to ever be put together). I could even see Fautino de Los Santos being a valuable/cheap piece of the bullpen next season. Probably not as good as Herrera, but certainly much cheaper than having to waste a roster spot on Francoeur.

    I don't think any executive is putting Gomez in the same class as Bourn/Upton, not even close. Unless I am seriously underestimating how much the consensus opinion of him has changed over the course of last season.
  6. SRB
    They should just extend Gomez now while it would still be quite cheap. I think he's severely underrated given his impressive tools and the step forward he took last season (and age-wise he's just now entering his prime). The problem with him was never skills it was just maturity as a player, and now he is starting to mature.

    Feldman would be perfect (relatively cheap, great peripherals last season), but doesn't seem like a Melvin move to me. Although he is an ex-Ranger...
  8. SRB
    Can anyone think of a player (past or present) with a harder value to peg than Dickey? -Cy Young winner -Amazing stats last few seasons -Pedestrian stats over entire career -Throws knuckleball -38 years old (does he turn 39 next season?) -Last year of contract I honestly have no clue what his value is on the trade market, or as a free agent for that matter.

    I've seen enough overhyped corner IF who tore up the minors for Texas and turned into pumpkins at the MLB level to be pretty skeptical about Olt. I think he might become a better player than Segura from a WAR perspective, but finding any above-replacement SS is pretty difficult, even if average-to-below-average. I'm not convinced Segura will necessarily be that great, even though he clearly has some upside, but as long as he can be a passable starting SS for the foreseeable future I am more than happy with that.

    Nolasco is very underrated even though he has Manny Parra Syndrome (ERA consistently under-performs his peripherals). Change of scene and a new pitching coaching staff might be able to fix some of that. I don't know if Melvin would do both moves, but a Gallardo/Dempster/Nolasco 1-2-3 would be very solid given the Brewers offense (and assuming they stop the bleeding in the bullpen).

    Braun clearly deserves to win it (and clearly deserved to win it last year, fwiw), but there is a 0% he will. The writers hate Braun and probably will for the foreseeable future. Even though he is the most deserving they will hide behind the fact that the Giants made the playoffs and the Brewers did not. What would have been really interesting would have been if Braun led the Brewers' late charge into a playoff berth, and then seeing how the writers would try to weasel out of giving him the award. (Probably: "Posey has more grit").
  12. SRB
    Josh Johnson, Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle, Emilio Bonifacio, still counting. Good for the Blue Jays. I bet they aren't even giving up that much, probably just a huge salary dump.
  13. SRB
    Hard to compare a guy who is going to turn what, 39?, next year and who has had such a flukey career to Greinke (not that Greinke is the epitome of consistency). It would be foolish to expect a Cy Young performance in 2013, and I doubt any team does. But you are probably right. Then again, I may be overvaluing Maldonado but it seems like he might have the potential to be a starting catcher, which is incredibly valuable just by itself.
  14. SRB
    Is Maldonado + Gindl too much? I know Maldonado seems like a fair amount for a 37-year-old coming off a career year, but getting a solid #3 for $5 million is pretty valuable and would let the Brewers fill their rotation with money left over to spend on other starters/pieces. Age is not as big of a concern since he is a knuckleballer. I feel like the Brewers can be competitive next year with passable pitching, and given the emergence of Lucroy I wouldn't be too upset with that trade. Assuming they couldn't get a better return for Maldonado (whose value is probably at a peak right now).
  15. SRB
    I really like Hamilton as a player, but in terms of value he is severely overrated pretty much just entirely based on his 2010 season. If you look at his stats, particular his advanced stats like fWAR, his is a good-but-not-elite player. Last season he was worth 4.4 fWAR and 4.1 fWAR the year before (636 PA and 538 PA, respectively). By comparison, Gomez was worth 3.5 fWAR last year in 452 PA. I could honestly see Gomez being the more valuable player going forward, given his age and physical tools.

    I love seeing Cardinals fans freak out, but I'm not sure why they are so worried. Brewers still have a very uphill battle given that the Cardinals play AAA teams for half of the rest of their season.
  17. SRB
    Shabam! 1.5 now?
  18. SRB
    Woooooooooooooooooooo
  19. SRB
    11th season, but only 9th player to do it.
  20. SRB
    agreed, however, it happened, it's out there, and it could be the sole reason he doesn't win the award. what a bummer. I think it will 100% depend on what the Brewers do. If they make a miracle run into the playoffs, then I really think it will be impossible for him not to win, even with how much the media hates Braun. If they don't make it, then it's an easy excuse to vote for Posey or somebody else.

    The last (and only) player with 40 HR and 30 SB to lead the league in RBI was... Hank Aaron for the 1963 Milwaukee Braves.

    I am also excited, so this isn't meant to sound negative, but... It wasn't too long ago that we were all convinced that Fiers was the second coming, now that he has cooled, Peralta has taken over the role of the chosen one... My point is, all these young guys are going to have ups and downs to their season. We can't realistically expect Fiers, Peralta and Rogers to fullfill the expectations that surely will be placed on them next season. They are going to have their rough patches, that goes without saying, so we need to remember that. I for one would still love to entertain the idea of bringing Greinke back as I think we are still going to be short reliable starting pitching next season. We will have Yo, but after him, there are still a lot of questions to be answered... Carry on! True, although Fiers was a 27-year-old non-prospect drafted in the 22nd round, while coming into this season Peralta was a 22-year-old widely considered one of the better pitching prospects in baseball.

    Braun just 3 SB away from being ninth player in 40/30 club in baseball history! (eleventh such season) [sarcasm]Magic steroids make you run fast.[/sarcasm]
  24. SRB
    It's the mysterious Man in White stealing signs.
  25. SRB
    Ryan Braun: 6.9 fWAR David Wright: 6.3 fWAR Andrew McCutchen: 6.2 fWAR ... Joey Votto: 4.8 fWAR ... Johnny Cueto: 4.6 fWAR Not even close. MVP! MVP! MVP!
