I’m still scratching my head as to why having too many good players is a bad thing. As an advocate of never having a guy like Niewenhuis in our lineup, I would think you’d love this type of depth. I'm all for depth, but if you can't find MLB ABs for good players, they're not doing you any good. That's just waste. We can't seriously be talking about wasting Domingo Santana's bat on our AAA team in a playoff hopeful year. Plenty of at bats to go around. The days of guys playing 162 games are over. Heck, even Yelich can play 145-150 and I would be perfectly fine with it. Fresh bodies all year long if they keep the current roster. If it comes at the expense of Broxton and Aguilar, so be it. We have 4 all star type batters in the mix. What’s there to complain about? Don’t lump me into that poster above. Who cares if he has an option. Unless he falls completely off a cliff it never comes into play.

I'm not sure, but you just don't option a 3+ WAR 25 year old corner outfielder who hit 30 HR last year and OPSed nearly. 900. It's bad enough that Phillips, Aguilar and Broxton are all forced casualties of roster construction and to some extent, even Thames. The closer we get to the season with no end in sight to the logjam the more doubtful I am about the efficiency of this roster. I'd love to be wrong, and in Stearns I trust and all that, but I'm skeptical. I’m still scratching my head as to why having too many good players is a bad thing.

Thames could end up being a game changer off the bench too. No matter what lineup they throw out, they will have one of: Braun, Thames, Santana, Yelich, Cain coming off the bench. Game. Changers.
-
Don’t count Gallardo out just yet. Good 2 innings of relief today. Counsell said he looked good.
-
Someone add this position to the title thread please. Santana too much of a turd defensively to play any position so 34 year old Braun will just play all 9 this season. Half blue. Love that he’s offered to do it too. Team player and has always been willing to do what’s best for the team.
-
Braun now with the salami.
-
Taylor Currie who was initially comitted to Michigan before he reclassified. Thank you. Interesting
-
Not sure if this is supposed to be a knock on the 2018 recruiting class but one of those 3 stars was a top 100 recruit for the 2019 calass who reclassified to 2018. Who is that?
-
You don't really, do you? I mean I like Aguilar but as good as Santana? That is really pushing it.
-
Broxton getting more interest than Santana?
pacopete4 replied to TURBO's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Yet hitting a very respectable .276. Santana is what he is ... a lumbering corner OF who provides power, a decent average and a lot of Ks. Nothing he's done this Spring Training is disproving that. Your description is probably why he is still a Brewer. Just too many of those guys out there these days. -
It's weird but I keep seeing Braun's name penciled in the three hole in these spring training lineups.
-
If Reuvers isn't a main player next year then I'd hope he gets redshirted. Kid has obvious talent and I would hate to see him rot on the bench for a year.
-
Would have preferred Trey Burton but hopefully, Graham still has at least two good years in his tank.
-
So we shouldn’t learn from past mistakes? Got it.
-
Phillies should get him. They went after it with Arrieta and there’s not much after he and Nola.
-
Isn’t that Reuters?
-
It’s not though. There is literally nothing left to say about Cobb. There hasn’t been a fresh perspective in a long, long while.

This franchise has needed another bat like Brauns drafted for a bit now. Should be fun to watch this kid evolve. -
That opens a scholarship, correct?
-
It doesn’t do the board any good. It creates a stir really over nothing. Can you not see that after you do it? I’m a social studies teacher and if my students used the quality of sources that you try to use, they would spend extra time redoing their assignments.
-
And Wilkerson is playing for $3M more dollars. That’s incentive enough for anyone. It’s a good deal. The Graham signing is a wait and see for me. He’s pretty old now and has had okay seasons as of late. I guess it depends how much Rodgers feeds him.
-
Good signing. Make him earn some money.
-
Montgomery played like 5 games at WR. Too much depth at that time to even get a chance.
-
What are the odds Nelson comes back on a better deal for the Pack? Can’t believe he would want to end the way he did or go elsewhere.
-
Been on this bandwagon for over a year now. This could be a great addition to our roster.
