    YES - CRAPPY 2016 - .690 OPS 2017 - .708 OPS 2018 - .693 OPS Between 2016-2018 he struck out 29% of the time - you cant have an OPS under .800 and strike out that percentage of time. All good if he turns it around and live up to the 1st rd pick, but lets not judge him on 2-3 months. If this current version is the player that he will become, than yes, its an over pay. There was a reason why he dropped completely off the top 100 sites after the 2016 season. If you are a good/elite prospect, you never drop off sites. Grisham has always been very young for his level, he hasn't had the best numbers...but the Brewers continued moving him up for a reason. They clearly saw enough from him that moving him up made sense. And again, development isn't always linear...or at least doesn't always show up that way in the box score. It's not surprising that all those lists would drop a guy off that isn't posting big numbers...but that doesn't necessarily mean he's not talented and capable of bringing it back. Also, rather than go on another rant about these lists...I'll just note that there are many former Brewer prospects playing for other teams that already have or very soon will(I'm looking at you Garrett Cooper) make an all-star game at the mlb level...that have never made a top 100 list.

    Hudson pitches in the AL east. A couple really good teams, and basically all hitters parks. Hudson could be on the move, but if he is my guess is the cost would be minimal. I think he'd be a bit better than Guerra but certainly not the high leverage relievers we're looking for.

    Hiura has elite bat speed...which was always going to lead to more power. Just a matter of him figuring it out.

    Maybe if you look at the trade value site and completely ignore the last 2 months of production... So last two months > crappy 2016, 2017, 2018 and the start of 2019....got it Yes and no, grisham has been extremely young at every minor league stop. Also development is not always linear, and this sustained performance could be a sign grisham turned a corner and this is the new norm. Other teams scouting would probably have that answer. My primary point, there are a lot of valid reasons he struggled previous years... and different valid reasons he has improved. There's a grisham thread in the minor league forums with posts from people far more knowledgeable than i on grisham... if you're interested.

    Smith is good, but he's still a rental reliever. They're dreaming. Yeah, this is crazy to me! I also saw that the Giants site "Around the Foghorn" is suggesting a trade of Dubon, Grisham and Rasmussen for Will Smith. WHAT??!! No way in hell I'm trading that much for a rental reliever. At that price, they better be throwing in Mad Bum as well. Gotta love fan forums man. I get that someone is going to overpay because everyone wants this guy, but I don't see anyone stupidly overpaying...which is what that would be.

    The "dream scenario" floating around Tribe message boards & talk radio is landing Whit Merrifield from KC. His versatility helps for this season and with Kipnis departing after the season (the 2.5M buyout will be exercised instead of the $16.5M team option) Whit fills the spot at 2nd rather well moving forward. Obviously Bauer to KC is not a match but they could be 2 parts of a 3 team trade. The idea is Bauer heads to someone in the NL for a great package of prospects that is then used to either augment a Tribe offer to KC or replace pieces from the Tribe farm used to land Merrifield from KC.. We are 2 weeks out from the trade deadline. We shall see what happens.. Obviously message boards are different than what the GM is thinking, but I would think Dubon could be valued highly by the Indians if they like Whit that much. Everything I've read says Whit is virtually unattainable. Dubon is a long term replacement at 2b, has significant versatility, and has speed for late game situations. He's also RH so could start against lefties at 2b or somewhere in the OF. Dubon++ for Bauer?

    It's so easy to monday morning quarterback this stuff. Why'd we get rid of Garrett Cooper again? Why'd we let Sogard walk? Guys seriously questioning not keeping Lyles...please join my fantasy baseball league.

    I was just cruising through fan forums for the Giants. They only seem interested in trading Will Smith to us if they get Hiura or Turang in return. SMH

    The Marlins are assured of not making the playoffs I'm pretty sure. The other 12 teams all have a very realistic shot at this point.
  11. KeithStone53151
    There it is...game
  12. KeithStone53151
    One more fastball, this one up out of the zone. Hopefully that'll do it.
  13. KeithStone53151
    come on hader, finish this off!
  14. KeithStone53151
    I never thought CC would age, but I'm pretty sure he has gray hairs all over his head right now just from the last 3 innings.....
  15. KeithStone53151
    I agree those hits were a bit unlucky, but Hader hasn't been super sharp since the break. Hopefully he can turn it around.
  16. KeithStone53151
    I guess those 2 runs makes the 9th inning decision obvious, barring an offensive outburst in the bottom of the 8th.
  17. KeithStone53151
    I can understand opening with Guerra. I think I'd like to see Hader pitch the 9th regardless...unless of course he's needed to get out of a mess in the 8th. We have a full day and a half off...so I would think he'd for sure be ready for Thursday night.
  18. KeithStone53151
    Whew, quite a few sighs of relief after that inning. Do they just let Hader finish this one? Or do we go with Albers or Claudio for the 8th?
  19. KeithStone53151
    Dangggggg...Peralta hitting 98?!?
  20. KeithStone53151
    Oh my god, Cubs get a ridiculous bad call their way and not overturned. Iglesias gets called out on a pickoff and is clearly safe on replay. Call stands anyways. Unbelievable...big markets shouldn't get a separate set of rules......
  21. KeithStone53151
    The last 2 games, their bullpen has worked pretty hard. Ours hasn't.
  22. KeithStone53151
    Gamel to LF. Braun to O2 tank. I would be 100% on board with Braun for Gamel at this point. Get Braun off his feet, Gamel is a slightly better defender in my opinion. Plus, likely to see a RH reliever his next time up anyway.
  23. KeithStone53151
    Anyone have an exit velo on that rope by Hiura? Must have been over 100 for sure. That wasn't more than 15 feet to the side of CF and he couldn't cut it off.
  24. KeithStone53151
    As much as it's nice to see we aren't the only team that runs into stupid outs, pretty frustrating to watch Senzel make the 2nd out at home on a hard hit grounder to 3b. Wasn't even close...
  25. KeithStone53151
    Danggg, that one wasn't cheap. Keep it rolling!
