Division titles are meaningless to me. (I wish the divisions went out the window and there was just an AL and an NL, teams travel so much easier these days) So I guess I'll take the two WC appearances and hope that we strung enough wins together in one of them to win it all.

I'm not really a soccer guy but this was a pretty pathetic showing on USA's part. I wonder what this does for soccer in the US?
-
I saw a discussion on whether or not the Jags should go get Eli Manning in a trade. These trades never seem to happen in the NFL but it could make sense for them.
-
I believe that even with a DH, Braun plays left more than people think. On our team, you would have Shaw, Santana, Thames, and Aguilar rotating through that spot.
-
If the Brewers have so many problems as the original poster alluded to, I sure am glad that Stearns stuck to the rebuild plan and did not make a big move for a team with too many problems. Then you are just possibly getting in to get in with no real chance at winning it.

Arica is going to be 24 years old so still young enough to continue to improve. Elvis Andrus has been a .800+ OPS hitter the last two seasons after being under .700 the previous three seasons. Didi Gregorious is another example of it. Hopefully, Arcia gets at it faster than his age 28 & 29 season but he has the talent to do it.

Andersen was is a turd and could have brought Barry's legacy to pretty much the same status.
-
Okay fine, he [sarcasm]stinks[/sarcasm]. Who else is being blocked that we can make a move on?
-
Christian Walker makes a lot of sense for the Brewers. The guy seems to be a pretty good hitter possibly on the verge of a breakout if given the opportunity. He seems like a better fit than Aguilar because of his ability to play the outfield as well as first base. This would allow the Brewers a lot more flexibility when pinch hitting later in games if they needed to and covers them from injuries a bit better too. Seems to have played a little bit of third base too so it fills the emergency role that Aguilar had for that position as well.

Brewers 2018 Payroll (updated 01/13/18)
pacopete4 replied to Matt Breen's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
[sarcasm]I don't know. Susac looked pretty good out there.[/sarcasm] -
I don't trust WAR, at all. If our first base puts up the numbers they did this past season, I'll be perfectly fine with it. Granted I hope it is more consistent rather than the ups and downs we had this season but my gosh, those guys played well this season.
-
Spotting the ball is one thing but they just hand out first downs nowadays. Anywhere close to the line and the ref immediately signals the chains to be moving.
-
Hornibrook always seems to fade away from throws. Even on bootleg passes, he's fading towards the sidelines rather than driving in a pass. He's not blessed with a great arm to begin with and passes are getting there even later because of some pretty crappy mechanics.
-
Looking at his k/9, bb/9, and whip... why is his era the last two seasons in the 4’s?
-
I’d rather have the headaches than to just give talent away.
-
Next year would be the perfect year for Braun (or Santana) to be the 1B starter against LHP’s and let Thames take the RHP’s. Move Aguilar while he still looks good.
-
Who has played their last game as a Brewer?
pacopete4 replied to Est1970's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
As much as I hate on Perez he’s vastly superior to Sogard. -
Well he does have a cool nickname, lizard king, as he once ate a lizard after losing a bet. So there’s that too.
-
I just don’t know how someone could value Braun and Villar any worse than this proposal. A little dumbfounded actually. How did you come up with your assessment here?
-
Wonder how Santana would rate in LF versus RF.

But this is my point. You might not be upgrading and you might be doing that with a steep price that is attached to it. All for what? Even with those upgrades, are we really that much better off to win a World Series? I don't think next year is the window. 2-3 more seasons as our young pitchers begin to come up and hopefully flourish will be that window IMO.
-
Are we not to that point yet where we want to see what these youngsters turn into? We talk about Cozart blossoming at the age of 32, well who says that Arcia doesn't blossom at the ripe age of 23? Now we ship off Arcia and he's booming for another team for the next 4-5 years cheap while we are chancing it that Cozart wasn't a fluke at the age of 32. And he's often injured. I just don't see the reasoning here. Trying to win is one thing and I agree we should be but setting up our future should be a priority as well.
-
I think most are right there with you but I'm not sure adding Hosmer and Cozart bring you that championship. Not them alone, agreed. You would still need to improve the pitching and especially the bullpen. You'd still need the younger players to take another step forward. But it gets you a heckuva lot closer than the lineup we had in 2017. I'll play devil's advocate: Say you sign Cozart and put him at 2B and lock him up for 3-4 seasons a decent clip of money and produces similar to what a Perez could give you there. I mean Cozart's career numbers are .254/.305/.411/.716 Okay and now say you sign Hosmer to an even bigger deal ($100 million+) and he hits closer to his career line .284/.342/.439/.781 Production you could have had out of Thames at a much cheaper clip. Now you have hamstrung this team into two players that might not (and most likely are not) as good as their 2017 numbers indicate. So now, anything you want to do in the future is really in question because you have two guys who should have never been given the contracts that they were.
