  1. Attanasio group paid $223 million in 2005 for the Brewers. Estimated value is now $1.6 billion. A 7x return. About double the return of the stock market over same time span. By contrast, the Packers were valued at $849 million in 2005. Now valued at $4.25 billion. I appreciate the Packers don’t have a conventional owner. However, Packers franchise value went up 5x, since 2005 (less than Milwaukee). I loved (to hate) the 90’s NFL super teams of Dallas and San Francisco. Today’s NFL product, while popular, seems far less entertaining, to me.
  2. Thoughts on the Padres giving Machado, Bogarts and Tatis Jr nearly $1 billion?
  3. Anthony Rendon looked alright on paper in 2019. He will make $38.5 million this year and be league average. Manny Machado will out produce Monasterio in 2024. That doesn’t mean we should want to pay him $31 million until 2033.
  4. The worst thing about signing big name players in free agency is you are paying the player for who they used to be and not the value they will likely produce after age 30. That said, I expect Bryan Hudson will be at pleasant surprise this season.
  5. Is MLB in the business of fairness or maximizing revenue and franchise value? If the latter, they are doing fine.
  6. Yes Yes Yes I much prefer MLB to any other league, even as a Brewers fan. Ultimately, until revenue disparity impacts overall league revenue, I don’t expect much will change.
  7. It’s not a ‘needle mover’ 🙂
  8. Sounds like you prefer we take all our money to the roulette table and put it all on red. Maybe we win big? 🙂 🤷‍♂️
  9. Proud of Santiago Perez for Brewers/Padres:
  10. Not that it matters, at all. I get a kick out of the Cubs being ranked one spot ahead of Milwaukee in the MLB.com power rankings.
  11. Regular season winning percentage can be compared.
  12. Burnes has $100+ million of reasons to pitch well this year.
  13. Keeping Burnes for this season makes us favorites to win the division in 2024. Cubs and Reds will be trendy but I’m not aware of their meaningful improvements.
  14. ‘If the Milwaukee Brewers want to keep their title at the top of the NL Central, the team will have to make some moves and pretty quickly, too.’ I disagree that Milwaukee must make meaningful moves to be the favorites to win the division. Woodruff is gone but he only pitched 67 innings last year. We probably sign Santana. We can pick up a Canha equivalent at the deadline, again. We can expect progress from most of the younger players and by keeping Burnes, we have a very good rotation. Granted, I realize winning the NL Central is different than winning a WS.
  15. Fair. At the same time, the Attanasio Brewers have outperformed the Selig Brewers when you compare the two tenures.
  16. If you filter out the first ten years as a franchise, the Brewers were a .500 team from 1980 to 1997. 1398-1396 record
  17. It is hard to believe the 2023 season was the 18th year led by Principal Owner, Mark Attanasio. I appreciate the polarization of this topic but wanted to recognize that 2006 to present is the Golden Age of Brewers baseball. From 1970 to 1987, the Brewers went: 1374-1477 (.482 winning percentage) From 1988 to 2005, the Brewers went: 1323-1525 (.465 winning percentage) From 2006 to 2023, the Brewers went: 1454-1361 (.517 winning percentage) Before Attanasio, two playoff appearances. Since Attanasio, seven playoff appearances. No matter what happens for the remainder of this off-season, 2024 should be an exciting season.
  18. It does not make sense to pay a reliever $357,000 per inning pitched. $20M/56 IP. We get good production for $770,000 for an entire season from pre-arbitration relievers. Plus, this seems like a situation where Hader cannot come home again. Not terrible bad blood but I imagine Milwaukee is not quite the same for him, anymore. Which is fine.
  19. I assume this is a rhetorical question but no, Arnold didn’t even promise Chourio would be on the opening day roster during the press conference.
  20. One-year, $16 million for Frankie Montas to Reds. Seems like a lot? Montas, away from the pitching friendly confines in Oakland, hasn’t been much more than average. I suppose he could recover his 2021 form but Cincinnati is a tough place to pitch. https://www.mlb.com/amp/news/frankie-montas-deal-with-reds.html
  21. What do we think the future production will be from Adames? I think there is a meaningful chance he is Javy Baez 2.0, without the mental lapses. A good shortstop, confused for a great shortstop that can regress to average after age 30.
  22. People will be excited for the season, once it starts. There is no such thing as winning the offseason. Free agency is typically not a good place to spend serious money.
  23. No, thank you. We typically find very good relievers for near the league minimum, every year.
  24. Also, Jim Abbott in 1999. Not a lot of out-getters on that team.
  25. 17 year career for Suppan. Two seasons with an ERA below 4.00. I remember being excited for the signing. I should have known Suppan was an average pitcher, sometimes confused for a good pitcher.
