    I don't think the Brewers could take the risk of him actually staying healthy next year and costing another $25m in 2017 as well. As much as I love CC, I just don't think this makes sense with our current team.

    He's mad at himself deep down. This gives him an avenue that will express that anger at himself through saying he doesn't agree what the Brewers are doing, Melvin, etc...

    Oh, so after two of the best games of his career his stats will still indicate he's a well below average offensive player? He can be a decent bench piece, mainly because of positional flexibility on a contender. We aren't that and he's not someone we should be giving this much playing time to. Who should we be giving it to? We already give plenty to guys like Segura who don't OPS what Herrera does.

    Scrub? He's produced more than Segura or Gennett. At least he brings some pop to the plate here and there and can play multiple positions. He deserves to play more and should be on this team again next season. Sorry you're so offended that I called a 30 year old with a little over 400 big league at bats who's hitting .236/.288/.385 a scrub. I don't know what you call it, but it's a scrub by my definition. Toss in both games today at he's OPS'ing over .700 now Might not be a starter but he can be a great piece to have on your bench and is far from a scrub.

    A day of Brewers and Badgers... Whoop, whoop!

    Yea...a lot of jobs come with crummy situations. I did a year of student teaching and received $0. In fact, I had to pay in. I have a hard time sympathizing in this situation. I too am a teacher and paid to student teach. Other than receiving some chocolate treats and a beer from my advisor at the end of it, I received $0 as well. Just because we came through a crummy, horrible situation doesn't make it okay for either of our careers. Teachers should be taken better care of as well as these guys in the minor leagues. Two wrongs, don't make a right.

    This was a great read. Never really thought of the difference between the majors in minors in terms of pay. I had a good family friend make it to AAA and he quit early in his life for family and he's mentioned the money not being good. I didn't think much of it at the time but the article and what people have talked about is pretty sickening when they aren't even getting fed properly. Maybe the Brewers become the first team to implement something in their minor leagues to help solve this issue? Never hurts to be a pioneer in a category such as this.

    I still think there is more money that MA could be putting towards this team. If Greinke is kept and we give him $25m/year for a couple of years, maybe we need to find in house players at other positions but we would still have the main core we do now.
  10. pacopete4
    I think it'd be pretty silly to only look at his AAA numbers in Colorado, where many pitchers seem to fail. Daives has done a very nice job at every level of the minor leagues. While he may fall flat on his face, he may also stick closer to those minor league numbers and be another answer to the rotation for next season.
  11. pacopete4
    I have been thinking about this quite a bit lately and believe we made a mistake. Greinke has been lights out this year but overall as a Dodger, he’s just been the ace this team needs. Now I get hindsight is 20/20 but I truly believe we could’ve afforded his contract. MONEY SPENT: 2013: Greinke- $19m or Lohse- $11m = +$8m 2014: Greinke- $26m or Lohse- $11m + Garza- $12.5 = +$2.5m 2015: Greinke- $26m or Lohse- $11m + Garza- $12.5 = +$2.5m 2013-15: Jean Segura Earning = $1.5m *Greinke buyout year, which he most likely will do it sounds but just in case: 2016: Greinke- $26m or Garza- $12.5m = +$13.5m 2017: Greinke- $25m or Garza- $12.5m = +$13.5m 2018: Greinke- $26m or Garza option not invested = +$26m Totals: 2013-15 = $11.5M more + another SP during that time period 2016-18 = $53m more would’ve been spent one Greinke had he stayed PRODUCTION: Dodgers Greinke- 16.3 WAR with the Dodgers during his time Brewers Segura- 4.8 WAR w/Brewers Lohse- 4.4 WAR w/Brewers Garza- .1 WAR w/Brewers TOTAL- 9.3 WAR PROSPECTS: Johnny Hellweg- Soon to be 27 year old that was lit up in A+ ball and even more lit up in AA ball this year. Consider him a throw away player at this point. Ariel Pena- 26 year old who has been pretty solid at AAA that still has a chance at the big league club.

    I hope we have a guy that gives us what Mike Fiers did. If Daives does that, our pitching staff is just that much closer to being young, controllable, cheap and above average.
  13. pacopete4
    Does him being in RF instead of LF affect him differently? Because his WAR in his MVP years would be of him being a LF. I realize he's playing RF for us now, but we all kinda know he's out of position.
  14. pacopete4
    I'm sorry but this is just silly talk. It's fine to want to rebuild for the future, and I know you're joking, but it is not a great way to run a business just randomly throwing out guys to play next year because you are waiting on the "future."
  15. pacopete4
    Why couldn't a manager tell three of his bullpen guys to be ready for the 8th and 9th inning and where a team is in the lineup will determine who he uses and when? That is letting them know their role. Also, wouldn't a pitcher be more comfortable knowing he's going in against hitters he has a track record of getting out? To me, that would be a lot more comfortable pitching than some guy batting .400 off me with 15 home runs but I'm in because I'm the closer or 8th inning man.
  16. pacopete4
    Exactly. He's still one of the best hitters in the game. Many teams would love to have him I'm sure. Glad he's a Brewer and hope we can find pieces to put around him during his career.
  17. pacopete4
    One more big month like August was and it'll be real interesting to see how close his numbers are to his "prime" years.
  18. pacopete4
    With all the data and statistics we have now, managers should really be using that to his advantage when looking at match ups. It's no secret that some hitters do well against a pitcher while others do not. Use the data to help you decide when and where to use your relievers. When it comes to closers, maybe that falls true as well but if you have 2-3 guys you're running out there in the 9th, you better be ready for those to always question you when it doesn't fall your way. If a closer blows up, its on the closer. If you're closer "x" blows up and you didn't use closer "y", now you have people going after you.
  19. pacopete4
    This is exciting. Love it!
  20. pacopete4
    what that tells me is that their bullpen has been fantastic, but their offense has been awful in coming up in the clutch late in the game. And/or that they have been down too far in quite a few games because their pitcher blew up.
  21. pacopete4
    I can't remember but do most or all September call ups happen usually on the first of the month or do they trickle in throughout the month of September?
  22. pacopete4
    Herrera has 260 fewer plate appearances, and has 5 more walks than Segura. Also, in those same 260 fewer plate appearances, he has the same number of XBH's as Segura. Not to get off track, but I actually like Herrera as a utility guy. Segura....... not so much. This. This is quite sickening to think about really. Maybe Segura really is a below average player. Herrera does his job off the bench and in spot starts. He doesn't do things really well but he does a lot of things good enough to get by.
  23. pacopete4
    If his batting average was more towards his career norm, his stats would look very similar to MVP Braun. It would be really cool if some of the young guys sped up their process so we can surround Braun/Lucroy with some good players and make another run in the next year or two.
  24. pacopete4
    Seems like an easy pickup if we can nab him. A switch hitter who can play multiple positions that is pretty cheap? No doubter.
  25. pacopete4
    If we hired him it cannot be in the GM role. Scouting, fine. But no to the GM role. No way.
