    Maybe it was just speculation, but wasn't the talk that Hoskins was looking to do the opposite of a more years for lower AAV deal? Basically that he was looking for a higher AAV 1+1 in order to bet on himself and increase the AAV on a long-term deal after the season.
  2. CheeseheadInQC
    Yep. He is at least a bit more realistic because of the likelihood he signs a one or two year deal.

    If they are looking at Santana as a first baseman, there is one younger, better option in free agency (no, I’m not including Bellinger).

    I remember those days. This inspired me to revisit some of the drafts from the few years before. Man, some of those were rough. One name that popped from the 2012 draft was Preston Gainey. I still believe he would have become a solid reliever if the injuries hadn’t ruined his career and you aren’t going to convince me otherwise.

    I don’t like the trade for reasons stated above, but there are a fair number of soft 40 man spots. If this had been a straight waiver claim I wouldn’t have been surprised at giving him a 40 man spot at all.

    Did the Buccaneers really make any moves that impacted their future negatively? They signed a hall of fame quarterback to a short-term below market deal, I don’t think signed anyone of significance to long term money and the highest pick I think they traded was at the bottom of the fourth round.

    The Brewers obviously know more about Chambers’ rehab than I do, but in principle I am opposed to dealing upside pitching for fringy relievers. It has bitten the Brewers too often in recent years.

    Beat my Newfield, Gerald Williams, Orosco trio by about .2%

    Eh, it’s not in Boras’ interest to do so. Nothing that distracts Burnes or even allows him to be portrayed as a malcontent is. And let’s face it, it’s not like he is having to talk Burnes out of re-signing on a team-friendly deal.
  10. CheeseheadInQC
    I don’t get why Boras being in his ear would make him unhappy. That would only make sense if they wanted a trade + extension but since they intend to test free agency I don’t think it would matter.
  11. CheeseheadInQC
    I could be wrong, but I think there was at least speculation that the outfield was easier on his back.

    If the Dodgers were to offer something like River Ryan and Joendry Vargas, how would potential Giants packages stack up? Would Whisenhunt and Birdsong or Arias beat it?
  13. CheeseheadInQC
    Man, a lot of the K rates on that year’s staff would make Brent Suter look like Josh Hader. Nomo’s resurgence was definitely fun to watch, though.

    The Angels acted irrationally because an improbable playoff run was their only chance to keep Ohtani. Do I think they will suddenly start being a well run organization? No. But they are banking on Neto and Schanuel to be part of their core. Trading them for rentals would be next level lunacy. It is much more likely they go back to their old standby of over-paying free agents.

    Busch is a weird combination of statistical traits I love in a hitter with red flags I usually watch out for. On one hand, the guy is a pure line drive, use the whole field hitter who can hit for power without selling out for launch angle or to pull the ball. If he can keep this going it should lead to elevated BABIPs even with his fringy speed. Oh, and he takes walks. He also is an older prospect with little defensive value who posted two straight seasons of 25% K rates and struggled to make consistent contact in his big league debut.

    I wouldn’t be shocked if the Brewers are high on Festa (Fangraphs, which occasionally seems to hew closer to the Brewers’ evaluations than other sites, has him as a top 100). If the Brewers are high on one of the other top pitching prospects (probably not the guys listed her) that could conceivably be tempting for them. I doubt it ends up as the Twins just because I think one of the big market teams will panic, but Festa as a 1a. piece to a more balanced package isn’t inconceivable.

    They took full advantage of the rule quirk that lets you spend more if you sign your 7-10th rounders for $10,000-$20,000 and go over slot in rounds 11-14 (as an example) than vice versa.
  18. CheeseheadInQC
    Honestly, at least it doesn’t seem like they are intentionally trying to shortchange the Brewers. They were still valuing Cartaya as a top 100 prospect. It is more just ignorance of the Brewers needs.
  19. CheeseheadInQC
    Man, and I thought my Paciorek pick was good. You beat it on all three
  20. CheeseheadInQC
    Justin Yeager I believe is still in the minors.

    I would guess the shopping commenced after Miley and Ross signed. Personally I’d have held on to him until further along in spring training. On paper, Houser is a bit superfluous, but between Miley, Ross and Ashby, there is a lot of injury risk in their starting pitching depth chart.
  22. CheeseheadInQC
    Counterpoint: The additional bonus pool money allows for greater creativity in getting the draft class you want whereas in a trade you are limited by both which players are in the organization you are dealing with and who they are willing to include. Taking the pick is higher risk, but there are also advantages that should not be overlooked if the offers aren’t inspiring.

    Yarbrough has an extra year of team control, so it is 1 1/2 years, which makes the returns seem more even. Also, the Bauers trade made no sense at the time or now, and I say that as someone who was lower than most on Avina. Maybe they can coax a random Jesus Aguilar type career year from Bauers, but for now it seems like a random bit of lunacy that isn’t a great point of comparison.

    Abner Uribe is looking like the exception right now. I used to joke that the Brewers DSL bullpen should have a sign reading “Abandon all hope ye who enter here” given their lack of success with DSL pitchers in the first decade of its return. There are signs that the situation is improving, though. Even if Uribe is the only one to reach the big leagues from the current group, more players are reaching full season ball and you’ve got five or more players who might be better prospects than any of the guys from the first 8 or so seasons of this iteration of the Brewers DSL squad.

    I tried to put together something like the Twins package but from another team (if that Twins package was supposed to indicate the type of deal they were considering). If it is just for Burnes, the closest I could come up with was Povich, McDermott and Ramon Urias from Baltimore.
