  1. While Wong doesn't carry much power against left-handed pitching, he holds his own. He won't be sitting much and shouldn't be. Heck, in 2019, his OPS was mid 700's against LHP's. He may get the occasional day off but he shouldn't be sitting much at all.
  2. A great day for Brewers fans. Anderson and now Shaw is back in the mix. This gives them roster flexibility and an opportunity to get a LH portion of the 1B/3B combination. Good stuff!
  3. Yes. Especially if they found a Houser replacement.
  4. The only way you find out is by playing them. Bring on the 2021 season!
  5. JJ Watt had an Instagram story that was of his weight room and in the corner of the photo it said "all gas, no breaks".
  6. If you had 5 guys like him, you'd be in trouble as he's never really been reliable enough to be a steady starter. You have to be available to take the ball every 5 days. That's part of the gig. But I get what you're are saying otherwise. He would have been a decent signing just based on how low the salary was. Could have been a good shot to take.
  7. I would grab Lamb just because I'm not sure how Shaw and/or the fans will handle a return. At least for Lamb, it is a fresh start somewhere where he should be the front runner if signed.
  8. Stearns already said he's coming back for 2021. I haven't heard anything about players being able to opt out in 2021. He said he believes he will be back, yes. But he's another year older and wasn't all that great in his last season. He is a huge question mark heading into the season.
  9. [sarcasm]Impossible. The Dodgers and Padres are already co-World Series champions and each team will win 140 games.[/sarcasm]
  10. I'd be okay with having Cain in the 1-2 spots IF he is back to being good Cain. If not, to the 7-8 spot he goes and you hope he has some elite defense still in him. Man, what a concern this guy is going forward. Heck, he may not even play.
  11. Reggie White would be elite in coverage in today's game. - Mike Pettine
  12. I don’t think some realize that baseball games aren’t won on paper. Never have been. Never will be. The Dodgers will be damn good. But they will take their losses and sometimes it will be at the hands of the worst team in the league. Because, baseball.
  13. What happened to this team? Basically all returned and they are not very good. Pretty disappointing.
  14. I would gladly take on Kelly with Rios. We shouldn’t have to give up much going that route.
  15. “So overall, good try.” I don’t know why this from Heyman cracked me up so much.
  16. I think that was a good gamble of $8M for the Brewers to take. Kind of disappointed with that one.
  17. I posted this type of sentiment a week ago or so. The current economics just do not make any sense. I’ll take a strike if it can be fixed. Hell, even just some improvements would be lovely.
  18. He would have been nice to add to the lineup but tying up those resources are just something that can’t be done. Like others have said, too rich and hopefully we will pivot for a pitcher. On top of that, there are still other FA’s out there that could end up with good seasons for us. Just had to be the right fit sometimes.
  19. Power is so hard to project is part of my argument. To simply say he will never have it because of some prospect rankings doesn’t pass the smell test. Not only that but he’s about a year or so from being in his prime years. Waiting on any sort of power projection would be the wise move. Kid has talent and hopefully he can put it together in a Brewers uniform.
  20. I think if you’re seeing this line out of him, he better be our shortstop. But I agree that this would be a welcomed sight and a line that would make that trade worth it. I simply don't think it's imperative to have a 3B that hits 30+ HRs to be a successful ballclub. I personally think Arcia can hit 15-20 HRs too. If we have a left side of the infield that provides 35 HRs and solid defense, how is that any different from a team that employs someone like Moose and his 30 HRs and Alcides Escobar, who gives you 5? Power is important, but I don't think it necessarily needs to be tied to particular positions. I don’t either but I also think that Arcia is on borrowed time here. As much as I like Arcia, if Urias is smashing the ball around, I think they find time for him at SS.
  21. Robin Yount and Christian Yelich have no relevance to Luis Urias. Urias, from the get go, has had below average power grades. Prospects comparisons aren't linear. His value comes from his hit tool and his fielding, not his power. This isn't something that I'm pulling out of thin air, this is something that's been with Urias from the day he signed. This sound about right: “Power: Has excellent gap power now due to consistent hard contact and present strength. Line-drive approach right now and potential for above-average to plus home run power with added strength and loft. Additional focus on finding pitches he can drive has led to more in-game power now. Power will come as he fills out but he will never be an elite power hitter. Grade (raw power) – 40/60”
  22. I think if you’re seeing this line out of him, he better be our shortstop. But I agree that this would be a welcomed sight and a line that would make that trade worth it.
