I think you may be thinking of Erik Komatsu, who was traded for Jerry Hairston, Jr. Erick Almonte was a guy who won the last roster spot on one of Ken Macha’s teams (over Luis Cruz, if I remember correctly), and I think he got hit by a ball in batting practice, and I don’t think he ever came back after that. I can’t remember the names of people I meet , but I can remember this stuff.

This is Cody Ransom erasure!

Vinny Capra isn’t a bad pick, but I don’t remember him making as many mental errors (not hitting a cutoff man, popping up a bunt, challenging a pitch fully in the strike zone)… plus he could play a plus defensive position. The last player that I can think of who looked this bad with the Brewers is a pitcher: Johnny Hellweg.

They definitely exist. I know Prince Fielder’s contract with the Rangers was insured, and he was already having injury problems with that contract. I’d guess they are more common with multi year contracts, though. I’d guess the Brewers have guys like Chourio, Yelich, and Pratt insured because if those guys had a career ending injury, that would set the franchise back years financially. A 1 year $22 million contract is a lot, no doubt, but it’s not a franchise altering contract.

Only insomuch as it’s from the same show that taught us that 64 slices of American cheese can make one blind.

Didn’t the Brewers drop Jeffrey Hammonds before his bobblehead game one year? Ah, the glory days.

It seems to me that the Brewers thought Isaac Collins’ 2025 season was an aberration. Unfortunately, it seems that 29 other teams thought so as well.

I’d guess that Hall and Myers make the NLCS roster. Gasser is almost certainly out. For the other spot, it would be either Anderson, Lockridge, or Collins out. I guess a lot depends on how the team feels about Chourio’s availability in CF. If he is back to being available in CF, you can replace Lockridge.

Jameson Taillon has been really good since coming back from injury. I’d argue he’s been their best starter the last month and a half or so. The Brewers will have to be on their A game tomorrow if they want to win.

I think we can replace him. We just couldn’t move him into the field without losing the DH

Hopefully I don’t get banned for bringing up memories of this guy in a Brewer uniform.
