    I don't see Stearns adding any more payroll. If he can trade Thames and his $7M ($6M + $1M 2020 buyout) contract he may look at Miley. Gio is worse than any of the three young guys CC can run out there and there isn't any other FA worth spending money on. Maybe a trade, but not many teams looking at trading starters unless it's for a contract dump. With the payroll being around $120M there doesn't seem to be much room to make another move. Here again with the "room to make a move" idea. Where is this coming from? At no time since Attanasio purchased the team has there been a set payroll limit. Yes, there have been years with low payrolls, but he has never outwardly put a cap on spending. Ever since Stearns has come on board, the idea stated over and over again is that if there are pieces that can make the team better, the acquisition will be made. They are big believers in value, but that seemingly is the only budget restriction, and it is ever-moving. This is fine but you’re going too far the other way on it and getting annoyed at posters for really no reason. There are limits. We just don’t know them. I’m sure they are a believer in value but it doesn’t mean much as all teams are looking for value. Most people should be able to see that unless a true talent falls into their laps, they’re not stretching themselves.

    Now can we all direct our hate to millercoors.

    This would be an awesome get and I’d believe there would be other trades that happen after it to free up rotation space and money.

    Really? You must really like Spangenberg, because its hard for me to see "far better" than what they had in 2018, which was Villar (who had a very good season to his name) and Sogard (who was good in 2017) along with Perez. If you are comparing Villar straight up to Spangenberg, I would have to think you would take Villar. Villar at least had MLB success on his resume. After 2018, Villar's success seems to be illusory - a one-year flash in the pan. Villar looks better because of Schoop's struggles in Milwaukee. I think playing Spangenberg/Perez in a platoon will probably be a little better than average. The hard part is, at least against lefties, the Brewers will have their most versatile asset in the lineup instead of on the bench. Just because Perez starts at second doesn’t mean he has to finish there.

    Great point CoolHandLuke. I think we get a bit caught up in names at times.
  7. pacopete4
    If you can get .271/.331/.423/.754 (his career split vs. RHP) out of Spangenberg, this works out just fine. Perez has always been okay against LHP so the platoon can work well for the Brewers.

    Did anyone ask him whether Braun was still willing to play there or not?
  9. pacopete4
    If he does we will be back in the post season.

    He’s going to win another MVP. Book it.

    Stay safe out there this week everyone. Make smart decisions when traveling. Those windchills coming are nothing to mess with.

    Or AmFam just paid more money.

    Perez started like 80 games last year. I don't know how that compares to other super subs but it doesn't seem like much so this might be a bit of hyperbole. Chris Taylor is a super sub. Ben Zobrist in his prime was a super sub. Hernan Perez...not so much. There's a big difference between Perez and those 2 guys...primarily that they can hit. I get that he might not be what those guys are but he is our super sub. They like his defense. And his 80 starts still speaks to some of the overreaction to him being on the team. Myself included on that. If we could find an upgrade, I would be all for it but he does serve his purpose on our team.

    ...or who starts games unnecessarily because the manager can't stop himself from doing so. Perez started like 80 games last year. I don't know how that compares to other super subs but it doesn't seem like much so this might be a bit of hyperbole.

    [sarcasm]Pretty ticked Culver's didn't get in on the act. No more butter burgers for me.[/sarcasm]

    It got lost in the horrible first half, but the 2nd half against Maryland is where Reuvers really started taking off. (I looked it up: 18 points in 24 minutes, including 4-8 from behind the arc. I think most of those points came in the second half, but they'd almost have to.) Reuvers might be our answer to "hack-a-Happ" if he can play late minutes and do what he did last night.
  17. pacopete4
    I really hope this was Nate Reuvers coming out game and we have another stud on our hands for the next couple of years.

    Ruth would still clobber them out of the park because guys with that talent would be just as good if they were brought up training like these players are today.
  19. pacopete4
    Well, we got our big signing just in time for this Sunday.
  20. pacopete4
    Your wish is my command.

    I live right in the Menomonee Falls / Germantown border outside of Milwaukee. Our dog loves the snow and likes the little hill we take him sledding too. We want to find other places but want some opinions of some quality places to go sledding with him without bothering a huge crowd of people. Thanks!

    While overall it is not that big of a deal, it is a bit of a bummer. Money talks in everything in life and sometimes that sucks.
  23. pacopete4
    I don't think anyone was/is duped. There is a pretty high level of skepticism in fact. Oh boy. It was a heavy dose of sarcasm my friend.
  24. pacopete4
    Lock it up. Burn it down. Get rid of this thread. Duped again!
  25. pacopete4
    This would be foolish. Very foolish.
