Stearns wanted to go to his favorite team growing up. Counsell was offered industry leading compensation, which the Cubs blew away by over two million per year. If someone has their mind made up on wanting to work elsewhere, or are determined to go solely to the highest bidder, there isn't a whole lot Mark A can do about it. -
Rosiak reported $5.5M per year, though I don't believe he reported the number of years. CC got $8M per year for five years from the Cubs.

Not sure what any new manager is going to be able to do about the double plays. Our two best hitters - Yelich (57.3%) and Contreras (55.0%) - ranked 2nd and 3rd among all qualified hitters in ground ball percentage last year. Those two accounted for 38 of the Brewers 144 double plays in 2023, about 26.4%. At the same time, 51 of the Brewers 144 double plays came from players no longer with the club, or unlikely to be in 2024 - Tellez (11), Anderson (10), Santana (8, in only two months), Caratini (8), Donaldson (4), Canha (3), Voit (3), Brosseau (2) and Tapia/Urias (1 each).

We clearly need a manager who has proven he can win a World Series in a small market... N E D Y O S T

How did the Brewers make it to the NLCS in 2018 winning only one game?
-
I'd rather get paid to sit at home and do nothing than manage the Cubs.
-
Ross still gets paid. If he is perceived as a good manager he will get hired somewhere else, and maybe even get a raise if Craig's new deal has its intended effect.
-
The reason is out there, he wanted to enhance the valuation of the managerial position. The Brewers offered him a contract that would have made him the highest paid manager in the game, the Cubs blew by that.

Again, the Brewer have won the 7th most games in MLB since 2008, the 6th most since 2018, they've been consistently competitive for 15 years now, even with the massive financial disadvantage they face being the smallest market in a league without leaguewide revenue sharing and salary caps/floors like the NFL/NBA.
-
I see a payroll that consistently ranks around 20th versus a market size of 30th. I see a team that has won the 7th most games in MLB since 2008 and the 6th most since 2018. They've been competing at a high level for 15 years despite the payroll constraints imposed on them by MLB's draconian financial system.
-
Macha was a wet fart, but Roenicke managed the team to the NLCS in his first season. Who cares that CC was a hometown guy if he clearly didn't want to be here?
-
If Matt Arnold does his job well enough that he is offered top of industry compensation from an organization with larger revenue streams, then the next couple years are looking pretty bright for Brewers baseball.
-
Just like no one realistically had the DBacks in the WS before the season, no one had Counsell to the Cubs. Baseball has an infinite capacity to surprise, which is why its pretty much the best.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!?!?

“an absolute necessity” Holy hyperbole, Heyman. Like what happens if he doesn’t pick NY? Do they get relegated to the International League or something?

Rea got 4.9 runs of support per game started, second on the team. Houser: 21 GS | 5.0 R/GS Rea: 22 GS | 4.9 R/GS Woodruff: 11 GS | 4.9 R/GS Peralta: 30 GS | 4.8 R/GS Burnes: 32 GS | 4.7 R/G Miley: 23 GS | 4.3 R/G Teheran: 11 GS | 2.8 R/G Despite the Brewers offense being below average overall (4.49 R/G vs 4.62 R/G league average), only Miley and Teheran especially received below average run support over the course of the season. Take out the 31 runs the Brewers scored in Teheran's 11 starts and they come out at 697 runs in the other 151 games, or 4.62 runs per game, exactly average.

Canha to Detroit.... RHP Blake Holub to Brewers
sveumrules replied to Jastro's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Brewers set a franchise record for opening day payroll in 2022. By the time the various in-season and deadline deals were accounted for, Spotrac had their year end payroll a couple million higher in 2023 than it was to end 2022. As long as the money is re-allocated elsewhere over the next five months, no pennies were pinched in this transaction. -
Good to see the Bucks hold on tonight, but I think there are a few things contributing to the uneven start. Giannis had his knee cleaned up this summer, so his basketball activity was limited and he is working his way into shape as the season goes on. Lillard was a late acquisition & Stotts abrupt departure is now going to elongate whatever getting to know each other period because… …it appears AG doesn’t have much of a scheme. Bud may have had his limitations, but he came in and the Bucks won their first seven games (by 111 combined points) and didn’t lose two in a row until their 63rd/64th game of the season. This definitely ain’t that.
-
Miley was great last year, but he was hurt/ineffective in each of 2022 and 2020. The last time he put up back to back good seasons was 2018/19 at age 31/32. He‘ll be 37 in a week and change. Brewers medical staff obviously knows more than this internet yokel, so if they are cool with bringing him back I’ll cross my fingers for another 20 some starts, 120 some innings. If Wade finds an offer more to his liking elsewhere I’ll wish him the best (unless it’s in the NLC) and hope the Brewers FO can find a good use for the $9M saved.

Dodgers won 100 games last year with Lux hurt all season, I’d imagine they would trade him for Burnes. Question is, how much interest would the Brewers have in Lux? Doesn’t have much MLB run at SS (502 inn. | +1 DRS | -4 OAA), but has been plus at 2B (1,346 inn. | +16 DRS | +8 OAA). His “breakout” in 2022 was 471 PAs of 275/346/399 (114 wRC+) that shook out to 3.0 WAR. Still only 26 years old heading into 2024, but those 41 HR he hit during his 2018-19 prospect ascent are getting farther away in the rear view mirror. Has three years of control with a projected Arby’s around $1M for year one. I’d prefer a theoretical Burnes headliner to be a pitcher with more team control, though I’d assume in this scenario Adames is also dealt (could target pitching there) which would leave Brice and Gavin to battle it out for SS/2B.
-
As of now, with the Brewers OF depth and Chourio’s age/limited time in AAA, I would guess they value the extra year of control to be gained from holding him back a couple months over the potential pick they might get by having him on the OD roster. If they are serious about giving Jackson a shot to break camp with the team in 2024 they almost have to deal one, maybe even two OF. Lining it up by service time after Yelich/Chourio… MLB: Yelich / Chourio / Taylor / Mitchell AAA: Wiemer / Frelick / Perkins That AAA outfield put up 3.7 WAR in 2023, more than nine MLB teams could manage from their entire OF groups.
-
Yeah, definitely think Gasser is ahead of Ashby in the pecking order by virtue of health. Miley has a $10M mutual option which might make sense for both sides to exercise since Wade won’t likely make much more than that on the open market and seems to like it here. Would also imagine if they deal one of Taylor, Mitchell, Wiemer, Frelick from the OF depth that a SP could be a priority in that return. Burnes / Peralta / Miley / Houser / Rea / Gasser would be a pretty solid top six with internal depth options like Ashby (wild card, could end up in bullpen), Carlos Rodriguez, Evan McKendry (if added to 40 man or not picked in Rule 5) and Jacob Misiorowski at some point, plus any kind of trade acquisitions or low dollar vet signing, the hopeful next Miley, Rea, etc.

Jimmy Hoffa buried in AmFam parking lot?
sveumrules replied to homer's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
On 9-16-95 the Brewers were in Toronto for the 5th game of a season long ten day road trip. Plenty of time to bury a body and still be ready for first pitch at 7:08 PM on the 22nd. But yeah, obviously the whole thing is a lark. Hoffa’s buried in the basement of the Alamo. -
Rea has language in his contract which made him an outright free agent, so he wasn’t beholden to Arbitration deflating his salary.

Jackson Chourio Contract Extension?
sveumrules replied to Brewcrew82's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Singleton spent his entire age 19 season in A+ at the bottom of the defensive spectrum with no base running value. When Hiura was 19 he was still at UC-Irvine, also with no defensive or base running value projected in his future. Gomez was a toolsy CF at least, though he spent his whole age 19 season in A ball and never put up the kind of power numbers as a prospect that Chourio has (while being two whole levels higher at the same age). No prospect is any kind of guarantee, but these guys don’t seem like particularly relevant comps for Jackson (who still doesn’t turn twenty for four months) when considering things like age relative to league, defense/base running, scouting consensus, etc.
