  1. If Civale agrees with Milwaukee that he is not presently a major league starter then Civale automatically loses millions in free agency in the off season.
  2. It will cost a team about $4.5 million to have Civale through season’s end. That is ten times more than the prorated league minimum salary. This could be a good opportunity for someone to get a somewhat reliable starter for little or no prospect cost. Or, someone pays ten times more than necessary for replacement level innings. 🤷‍♂️
  3. Civale has very little to lose and a lot to gain by immediately requesting a trade. The situation does loosley remind me of an SNL skit:
  4. The original triple digit fireballing starter. Neugebauer never pitched after age 23. Jacob Misiorowski, making his major league debut at age 23.
  5. This demotion to the pen could cost him several million dollars. That’s rough by anyone’s standards.
  6. I remember being very excited for Ben Hendrickson‘s major league debut 21 years ago. I learned not every 2 ERA in AAA translates to the bigs 🙂 https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/LAN/LAN200406020.shtml
  7. Civale is an above replacement level starting pitcher for a major league team, somewhere. He has been a good starting pitcher for half of his career. Probably not ever excellent but definitely good.
  8. Civale is capable of being useful. He was productive in 2019, 2021 and 2023. I tend to agree that Civale is not a major liability in Milwaukee nor has he been an irreplaceable asset either. Civale was fine last year, too.
  9. Ramon Urias of Baltimore? Jonathan India is below replacement level this year but has some time at 3B Will Gio Urshela (rehabbing soon) or Miguel Andujar (oblique injury) from Athletics? Luis Urias? Everyone else is on contenders. Even the Royals are closer to wild card than Brewers. Not saying anyone for Chad Patrick. Just finding available ML ready 3B.
  10. If Priester were sent down he essentially would become out of options. Milwaukee will do everything it can to avoid that. Plus, Priester has been pretty good for a month now.
  11. I was worried Milwaukee didn’t notice Misiorowski in Nashville but it probably was just old fashioned service time manipulation and getting walk rate down a smidge.
  12. This is all true but does not lead me to the conclusion that we should extend Peralta into his 30s.
  13. Gold glove winners can be subjective. It is also possible a very good defensive shortstop impacts the game more than an elite defensive 2B.
  14. I remember the 2002 Brewers having some offense with Sexson, Jenkins, Houston and Hernandez. It was likely a different offensive era 20+ years ago, though. Pitching was bad for quite awhile back then for Brewers.
