Any chance we can trade up for Hield?

Going to San Diego & Petco Park July 31-Aug 3 - Any tips?
abqbrewer replied to Bombers's topic in Off-Topic Forum
Eat at Hodads. Burger joint in Ocean Beach. Learned about it via diners, drive-in's, and dives and went there a few weeks back. The absolute best hamburger I've ever tasted. Small place, and you may have to wait in line - but well worth it. -
I'd be disappointed if it's only Davies, but if that is all we can get at this point.... At least the deal last night brought some nice young players.
-
I think I would move Parra for pretty much anything at this point (since he is unlikely to re-sign), but I don't see the great advantage in moving Lind since he is a decent player and affordable. You don't blow up a team just for the sake of blowing it up. If you don't get appropriate value, there is no need to panic.

Gotta be Wheeler's arm. terms agreed upon (pending physical as always), terms get leaked, and then Brewers don't like Wheeler's arm. Sorta makes sense, if it didn't all happen so quickly. Mets faxed over Wheeler's exam, Brewers said no in less than 2 hours and the Mets got mad and said the deal is dead and there never was one? Or, while waiting on the exam the Brewers got a better offer?

Martin Maldonado twitted photo of guys saying good-bye to Gomez, and now Flores out of game. Done deal.
-
he has to say that in case Wheeler medicals don;t please Milw. Most GMs will just be mum on the subject...He just came out and flat out said it won't happen. There might be something to this. Good point. Though Hardicourt still saying done deal....then again, the fact that Flores is still playing is odd.

If Gomez is moved does the Crew keep Parra
abqbrewer replied to brewmann04's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
The Brewers are actually a .500 team. They had a crazy hot start last year, and then played .500. They got off to a crazy bad start this year and have basically played .500 since. Maybe moving Gomez frees money to keep Parra or sign another bat in the off-season and we move to an above .500 team (when Wheeler gets healthy, we'll have several nice young starters) -

This is my preferred method. Why would we go nuts on A prospects who could flame at several times the rate when you can get young controlled talent that is MLB ready or very close to it? It's a smart business move, especially with all the high upside draft picks we've been making recently. Makes no sense to me to do the former, although surely I will be trashed shortly. Commence trashing: Because you can normally get a greater quantity of prospects if they are a few years away, and if you are a few years away from competing anyway there is no reason to get MLB ready guys whose service time will be wasted before the team is ultimately competitive. That said, I'm fairly happy with this deal. Gomez isn't quite having the year he's had the last couple of years, and he was gone after next year regardless. We have a lot of guys who are cheap for the next 4-5 years, so hopefully the competition between them brings out the best and we get a few surprise All-Stars. I agree with MrTPLush.

abqbrewer replied to brewmann04's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
do you mean long-term? trying to resign him at the end of the year? I'd have no problem with that. Basically, Gomez for Parra, Wheeler and Flores. -
Hardicourt now saying trade confirmed, and Brewers may still try to move parra
-
Hardicourt quoting "multiple sources out of New York"
-
Wheeler and Flores (as has been speculated from the beginning). Seriously?

I'd take this in a heartbeat, but I don't see the Mets moving conforto.
-
Can someone explain the appeal of Flores? Yes, he's young and has some punch but has a pedestrian batting average and we already have young infielders.
-
Wheeler and Matz? Then we can consider moving Fiers for the right pieces.

Lucroy even-up for Swihart? -
I love that many of the comments (many are likely Braves fans) said the same thing about it being too lops-sided to even consider,

My last name is Stelter. It sounds exactly the way it looks (rhymes with Shelter). However, since moving to New Mexico 8 years ago, I've had dozens of people pronounce it Stetler. Is this some form of mass dyslexia?

I've driven through Hustisford many time.
