    Simple solution right here. http://cdn1.bloguin.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/113/2010/02/bullpencar400.jpg

    Eyes are getting heavy. Wish I knew how this one was gonna end.

    Sucks, but he just lost it in the lights. Happens. Yeah we were due for some bad luck here and there.

    Well now I see why Broxton is batting 8th. Catch the ball.

    That sounds like what Doug Melvin did, and that failed pretty consistently. Doug Melvin took his chances with the windows he had to compete. If he sells off all of our stars (Braun, Fielder, Gallardo, etc...) Maybe we never even make it back to .500 or to the NLCS or the playoffs twice. Maybe they sell off and they get better players but there's always the possibility that you miss your window and never do anything either. The Brewers will be having their window come open (and maybe sooner than people thought) and eventually will have to make their decisions again. Have to try to win something at some point though otherwise, what is the point?

    But that's a major difference between a guy Quintana and a traditional buy. It's not specifically a 'win now' move. It's a move that you can make if you're not totally sure and you still have him for quite awhile and can move him again if things really don't work out with the rebuild. It's outside the box considering where we came into this year but I see the merit. I don't know why people are so eager to deal Knebel, he's very controlled yet and by far our best pen arm. You better get blown away if you're going to deal him. Have you seen what we got for Jeffress, Smith, and Thornburg? If they get an offer like that for Knebel you take it! I mean if he can finally stay healthy until July and is that good, heck yea you jump at a great offer for him. All three of those pitchers are up for free agency in 2020 while Knebel isn't until 2022. Two years is a huge difference and would need to be compensated even more for those two years. Eventually you have to have guys at the back end who can get outs. We are finding that out this season with what could be an even better record.

    I see it the same but also a bit different. If he sits back and does nothing, a big log jam occurs between this year and next. (Granted you can make offseason deals but they never seem to be as good as in season ones) If he goes off and sells the farm, he's saying the guys on this team (the lineup) is good enough right now to win it but we are just missing a few pitching pieces. Either way, something has to happen if this team continues to win. Either you have to sell off a huge number of the pieces and build towards that next wave of talent and hope they are as good as advertised, OR you sell off a few of those pieces for the win right now chance. Baseball is a funny game. The Cubs are a couple injuries away from wondering what the hell just happened to their season. Ya just never know.

    Hmm. Based on what they were asking over the winter I just don't think this is going to be enough for Chicago for Quintana alone much less for him and Robertson. There's a lot of good depth but only one top 100 guy in Ray and he's there more based on draft position than production. But it's hard to say, depends on who they value the most. There seems to be at least as much quality here as what we gave up for Greinke, but I don't see then packaging both pitchers for this either way. I'd rather do this than mine if it means keeping Diaz, even though I really like Dubon too. Yeah, you're probably right that it would take more. I just don't know how much more I would be willing. I guess if it meant we were getting both of those guys, you may up it a touch but I wouldn't go crazy. I guess that's what everyone is discussing that make a huge trade could really offset the rebuilding phase. In my trade above, while those guys could become MLB players and good ones, I like other guys more than them so I fed them to the wolves.

    Brewers Get: -Jose Quintana -David Robertson White Sox Get: Jorge Lopez Brett Phillips Marcos Diplan Corey Ray Marcos Dubon
  10. pacopete4
    Would people be willing to give up the Alcides Escobar, outfielder Lorenzo Cain, and pitchers Jake Odorizzi and Jeremy Jeffress of the Brewers system for Quintana? Because that's probably about the return that the White Sox would be looking to get. Easy to see the names now and say whoa, but at the time, these guys were just prospects.
  11. pacopete4
    I know I was. Can't speak for others. He's a guy that should have retired a couple years ago but he's pulling in $25 million per year so why not go out there and make that money.
  12. pacopete4
    Let's get the band back together. To all those fans that are too nostalgic to move on from Ryan Braun, this makes a ton of sense. Or people don't want to move on because he is still really good. But your condescending remark has been noted, once again.
  13. pacopete4
    We probably could get Sabathia back if we wanted to. King Kong could return for a reasonable price these days.
  14. pacopete4
    He's been pretty good to me at 2B since about the second week of the season.
  15. pacopete4
    Save this junk for another thread. It's World Series or bust for the Brewers this season!
  16. pacopete4
    How can you be anything but optimistic right now. Everyone is brewlieving!
  17. pacopete4
    Sweep! Brewers 4 games over .500!
  18. pacopete4
    Sorry, had a bit of a bender last night. . My mistake. lol no worries man. Context is hard to read through text.
  19. pacopete4
    Booooomshakalah!!!!

    He didn't walk anyone. He just can't please you can he? On another note, can a coach take and hit 100 balls into that corner so Santana knows how to play the bounces. Just looks lost anytime one is down there. You never seem to have a problem trashing players you don't like, but heaven forbid someone trash the ones you do like. No, as long as he keeps giving up runs at the clip he is and sitting at a 6+ ERA, he won't be pleasing many Brewer fans. I guess I needed to put that in blue. Figured you'd catch on to the sarcasm.

    Why isn't Thames on third base? Get it going big guy.

    Should've never started watching again. Put the dang ball in play. Could have at least knocked this to a 1-run game. Inexcusable.
  24. pacopete4
    Relieving is a lot different. You pitch differently. But to your point, Wily has been more effective the first time through over the course of his career. He's the perfect candidate for a pen opportunity. Two pitches, throws hard enough, and has had some success in the majors. It just makes too much sense not to try it.
  25. pacopete4
    Here is the at bat that will determine how much longer I watch. Degroom has made Thames look silly the last two at bats. 6 pitches, 2K's.
