  1. Morales would just be a typical melvin "we are in contention and he is a veteran " move. Overspending for more average, less power, and worse defense than morris could provide. I imagine mark/ doug giving morales whatever he wants. Not that I want it, just a feeling. I have very little faith that Morris could maintain a mid-.700s OPS in the major leagues, but I see zero reason why he shouldn't be called up right now in place of Overbay to see if he can. Give Morris some MLB experience and evaluate whether he is a feasible starter. If he's not, then sign Morales a month from now. Huh? Morales was solid last season for Seattle in a big ballpark littered with scrubs like Ackley around him in the batting order. Not only that but he's been a decent WAR player all the way back to 2009 pre-injury. I'll take that .275 / .450 / .800 with 25 dongs line all day long thank you very much. He's only 30 and should finally be fully healed. Call him our Aramis replacement when that day finally comes, be it this year or next. We're in a deep hole with Rami (or Braun apparently) always being dinged up...Morales is good depth.
  2. A Matt Joyce / Khris Davis platoon would be among the best platoons in the entire league. Freaking good. I think it's too early to pull the plug on Davis though, we need to let him work through it...after all we dumped Aoki off to give him the chance. It's only been a month and a half.
  3. For the love of god, you people act like Wang is this Randy Johnson clone. HE CAN'T EVEN GET THREE BATTERS OUT. Get him out of here and bring somebody that has actually earned the spot up from Nashville. This kid needs YEARS in the minors, not one.
  4. Simple. You WOULD trade Ryan Braun if you could get better from the trade. He is very good, he is affordable(expensive, but affordable). But if you did drug the Marlins and they offered up Jose Fernandez and Mike Stanton as is currently being argued, of course you would do that. Braun is a great-great hitter. And I am pretty confident he's not going to be traded anyway, so this is all a moot point. I would like whatever is being smoked to create the thought of Jose and Stanton for Braun. That's pretty hilarious lol...the fact of the matter is we are married to Braun for better or for worse and he's likely to finish his career (or his career minus a year or two of chasing rings) a Brewer.
  5. Why on earth would we trade Ryan Braun...he's a former MVP who is being paid a very modest salary (one that this team can actually AFFORD without breaking our bank) and whose OBP, SLG, OPS, BA are all pretty well in line with his career norms & his K % is normal. Virtually nothing is different about Ryan Braun than pre-steroidgate. My goodness gracious, people are getting way too trade happy and need to sit back and enjoy the season. Why don't we unload every other player on the roster too while we're at it? I can see acquiring decent bench bats ala Chavez, maybe like a Garret Jones type, but other than 1B and a good version of Rickie Weeks continuing (doubtful), what exactly is the problem with this squad? Had Jose Abreu chosen us over the Sox I doubt we'd even be having 1/4 of the discussions we are today. Where is Wilson Betemit these days? I think he's a free agent or in AAA due to a knee injury last year...he'd be a cheap option that can play 3B, OF, or 1B and is a switch hitter (better on the left side... .8XX career OPS vs righties). He'd be good depth for us and he has some pop in his bat.
