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.
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.
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.
I agree. Not that it should matter a ton but perhaps there is also a little bit of boosting the psyche of Brewers fans that we don’t always trade our pending free agents.
In fair to Neugebauer, he was #17 prospect in baseball for 2002, per Baseball America. Ahead of Josh Hamilton, Adam Wainwright, Brandon Phillips and Justin Morneau.

Sometimes top prospects end up being Nick Neugebauer, Lewis Brinson or Jose Capellan.
Burnes won Cy Young in 2021 and provides the organization the best bite at the apple opportunity we have for the near future.
We did not trade Prince Fielder, I expect we won’t trade Burnes, either. I think Corbin is smarter about the business of baseball today and he will pitch to his highest potential during his final season
