    great resource to get a visualization of our teams contract terms http://www.spotrac.com/mlb/milwaukee-brewers/yearly/payroll/

    we all need to stop worrying about Lorenzo Cains 5 year deal. His contract is built to allow the Brewers to trade him/his contract and is distributed pretty evenly over the 5 years (it is not backloaded like previously said). So essentially after 2019 he can be traded to pretty much anyone. Even if he's only "good" in 2020, he's still worth $16 million. His contract does not prevent us from signing anyone this year or in the future and was the right move to make this winter. no-trade protection: may block deals to all clubs in 2018, 15 clubs in 2019, 7 clubs in 2020 and 5 clubs each in 2021 and 2022

    thank god. 4/$60 is a bit rich for him, glad that our fanbase doesnt have to worry about that

    one world series and I honestly would not care what happened with the franchise after that

    its because most people on here believe that our organization can't draft anything other than relief or bottom rotation starting pitching at best.

    Can't wait to see Alex Cobb pitching every 5th day in Milwaukee!

    Well it lets players get closer to their actual worth at their prime years and would shift FA to paying more towards actual value/expected future value/performance as opposed to FA being for paying dudes for past performance. Reducing arbitration years is fine but that really hurts the small market teams since all the good FAs will go to big markets/teams that can afford them. no it doesn't. if you increase arbitration it means that mediocre players will start getting paid more, which will in turn cause the good and elite players to get paid far more than them, and when they hit FA, they'll expect a jump from beyond that. So yes, while in their prime they'll want more money, but no agent would then say "ah, he was paid fairly in his prime, we wont ask for more on the open market", they'll exploit that fact that player was paid $xx million and use that as the starting point for open bids. only way to increase comp during arb years is to put a cap when players hit the open market. "small market" teams are still owned by billionaires. I will never buy into the notion that a small market team can't afford a top FA. They just choose not to run in the red to win.

    no, increasing during arbitration wont change anything, it'll just increase what they expect once they his FA. a solution would be reducing the number of years of arbitration and getting FA earlier in the players career.

    [sarcasm]well, HH19 already deleted his twitter account, so its a foregone conclusion he's signing elsewhere[/sarcasm]

    and this is why I still come here, posts like this are incredible. Thank you for sharing!
  19. torts
    it was only a matter of time. Brewers have a pretty savvy social media team, im sort of surprised it took this long for them to find out about this. Also, I will take this as a sign Cobb is not going to be a Brewer, as he is living up to his bet
  20. torts
    yall are nuts for trying to pick apart someones posts like this. just let it go.
  21. torts
    I love reading anything from Torts! Greatest one liners ever. Will have to watch a game with the man. I cant tell if you're serious or not, sarcasm is normally in blue, so i'll take this as a compliment!
  22. torts
    4.20 ERA sounds like a Brewers Free Agent SP signing, so its as good as done in my book!
  23. torts
    no way norris is the closer
  24. torts
    if they some how got back Odorizzi, and started the season with Odorizzi, Cain and Jeffreys on the MLB roster that would be incredible.
  25. torts
    [sarcasm]That is something brewerworld would say[/sarcasm]
