    Our preseason rankings should be a lot more fun. Not that they weren't already.

    Deep because teams like the Red Sox get a lot more press on their prospects than most clubs. Not knocking the guy, but it has been proven over and over. Heck, we had two of them on our roster last season (Cechinni, Middlebrooks).

    I think we just traded for our Solarte. The future at 3B... [sarcasm]case closed[/sarcasm].

    Is Shaw a better fit at 1b or 3B? Goes a long ways with his value as his bat might just be alright. With the addition of Shaw, this gives more depth to trade Braun as well because Thames can play in the OF, Shaw to 1B.

    Why do I feel underwhelmed by this deal? We did not get back 1, top 100 player. After seeing what relief pitchers were going for after the all star break, I sort of assumed this would happen. Maybe I just am not familiar enough with the prospects.
  6. pacopete4
    Or they double down with getting him too. I hope the Nats do. It will drive up the price for Braun.
  7. pacopete4
    By WAR alone last year he ranked 22nd on ESPN Stats. Oddly enough, there is Perez at #23. Even though maybe it is because he played all over the place last year.

    I wouldn't hesitate with Gennett and Jungmann for Solarte. I don't think I would include Perez because of his ability to play all over the field for us. I just can't see them moving Solarte for those two pieces though. You aren't getting Solarte for garbage. Both of those players have value almost equal to zero. Solarte is a legit starter at 3B and controllable for three years. Want him? Well you are going to pay the price. That's why I said what I did. I would be in favor of moving an outfield piece for him. Maybe a guy like Reed? Again, the interest has to match up, but it would be nice to have a stable 3B. For as much as we want to wait it out for a guy like Lucas Erceg, he's not a sure thing either. I would rather have a Solarte for the next two seasons and see the progress of an Erceg to determine whether or not we have to make other arrangements.

    Thankfully the game this weekend is in Green Bay and not Seattle. That seems to be a place where teams go to die.

    I like the idea of Solarte because he's a switch hitter. With adding Thames and having Villar. That's a nice way to be able to set up your lineup no matter who you are facing. 1. Villar- 2B 2. Santana- RF 3. Braun- LF 4. Solarte- 3B 5. Thames- 1B 6. Broxton- CF 7. Susac- C 8. Arcia- SS I could live with this. And if Braun is traded, well then it's an adjustment no matter who is going to play LF. Solarte has a cool .346/.379/.692/1.072 at Miller Park (29 AB's), OPS is roughly the same on both sides of the plate over his career, and last year his OPS was almost 100 points higher away from Petco. Couple that with his ability to play 3B (position in need), 1B and 2B and this just feels like a guy Stearns would target.

    Nice W today. Back to .500 with a shot at the Wildcard and NFC North. Obviously need some help though.
  13. pacopete4
    I'm not on board with that. Thornburg by the all star break might bring back a kings ransom on his own.
  14. pacopete4
    Calling Garza mediocre is just not a good judgement. When healthy he still is a very good pitcher and a guy you would want taking the ball every 5 days.
  15. pacopete4
    Thank you for this. Thank you! People are so uninformed with their comments on this guy. He did a nice job for us last season in the OF when we didn't have much to write home about. Especially at Miller Park.
  16. pacopete4
    I like the idea but this guy might not even pitch next year. It'd be hard to push that onto a small market like the Brewers without the chance of him even playing.
  17. pacopete4
    I want to keep Braun but if they're trading him give me Puig, McCarthy, Bellinger and an arm and we'll call it a day. If they want Scooter or a pen arm with Braun, add it in.
  18. pacopete4
    As much as Pete Carroll annoys me, this is about as good as it gets to how it should be taught how to tackle.
  19. pacopete4
    Doesn't sound like we'll be getting Bellinger anytime soon then. If that's what is being said about him and he's producing on the field, the Dodgers will probably hold onto that chip.
  20. pacopete4
    I think Garza threw the ball really well towards the end of last season. If we get that pitcher, consistently until July, there will be teams lining up to get him.
  21. pacopete4
    I completely agree with both of you. I think that Susac should get every opportunity to win that job and prove that he is a starting MLB catcher. The only reason I have his at #3 is because Maldy started to end the year with Pina as his backup. Hopefully we can change that during spring training.
  22. pacopete4
    Cody Bellinger would be a fun guy to add to the mix. I just wish we did not have to take Puig back with him. I'd rather get more prospects. Pitching maybe?
  23. pacopete4
    I added Lopez and Williams as well as knocked Scahil down a few pegs. I did not put him in all three OF spots but I did add him to LF and RF where he probably fits with playing time in those positions. I know a lot of posters hate Niewenhuis but until he's off this team, I cannot see him not getting playing time in CF and RF. He adds that left handedness to the team that you always talk about.

    Last night was awesome to see Hayes not play selfish. If he repeats the performance of last nights game throughout this season, this team is scary good. He got everyone involved and is a huge reason Happ had the big night. Also helps that Koenig shot lights out.

    I just thought this would be a nice way to keep track moving forward into the season. The players used are on the list of the 40 man roster. If you think people should be re-arranged, let me know, or create discussion. I just tried to put them in some sort of order using last year and the updated depth chart on Brewers.com Starting Pitchers 1. Guerra 2. Davies 3. Garza 4. Nelson 5. Peralta 6. Anderson 7. Jungmann 8. Hader(L) 9. Lopez 10. Williams Relief Pitchers 1. Thornburg 2. Torres 3. Knebel 4. Marinez 5. Geltz 6. Parker 7. Barnes 8. Cravy 9. Scahil 10. Suter(L) 11. Blazek 12. Magnifico Catchers 1. Maldonado 2. Pina 3. Susac 1st Base 1. Thames(L) 2. Maldonado* 3. Perez* 2nd Base 1. Gennett(L) 2. Villar* (S) 3. Rivera* 3rd Base 1. Villar(S) 2. Perez 3. Rivera* Shortstop 1. Arcia 2. Villar* (S) 3. Rivera* Left Field 1. Braun 2. Perez* 3. Cordell 4. Reed* Center Field 1. Broxton 2. Niewenhuis*(L) 3. Brinson Right Field 1. Santana 2. Niewenhuis(L) 3. Perez* 4. Reed 5. Phillips(L) Indications: * - Not primary position (L) - Bats or throws left handed (S) - Switch Hitted
