    Yea I'd try to wrap this around the ASB. At this point I think they've tried just playing through it a long enough try. Getting him back to his normal self would be huge to finish the year. Haase is solid and can fill in for a couple weeks and not kill you, I think Alfaro is still sitting aaa as an experienced long time pro who can play 1-2 times a week and be passable.

    Seems like he can hold down the fort and at least be competent/ok enough to not kill you the way 3B/SS was for the first month or so. In an ideal world, he'd be a backup and seems like a great jack of all trades utility player to fill in all over the place and can start for a while and not kill you. Not sure if he's done any OF but I'd be surprised if he can't pick it up and be competent. Someone in the Kiki/Taylor type mold that those guys have done for LAD over the years.

    Woodruff is back soon and they have a pending decision on Cortes coming too. There's a logjam coming unless some other injuries come in to take care of it. Obviously Miz performance so far means he shouldn't lose his spot. However, sending him down to limit his innings and essentially take a break for a bit could be in the cards. I'd generally agree that I wouldn't expect a Pen move for him because they'd want to control and plan his workload more rather than the getting up and down multiple times a week. The concern right now is just making the playoffs or winning the division, but yea down the line there very well could be a Strasburg situation where they have to bench their best pitcher in Sept/Oct when the stakes are highest.

    I'm shocked, could've sworn this would be the time the "this is the cheapest dumbest and worst run team in the league" after a couple so-so weeks contingency would finally be correct.

    Probably some semantics on what constitutes "staying on the field" is what's going on here. Because to at least some folks, missing 40 and 50 games and 40% in three of his first four seasons would count. And the other side of the argument would be that is not nearly as bad as what Mitchell has been doing.

    Surprising to say but Yeli probably makes it again. Up to a very solid 260/340/800ish ops with 15 HR and 56 RBI and 12 sbs. Side note, I remember recent talk about how our management is the dumbest thing ever for paying Yeli rather than a few hundred mil more for Harper. Harper has only played 57 games so far again this year, 9 HRs 34 RBI with similar splits stats. He has 6 years 142 mil left. Yeli about 3/80

    Seems pretty harsh. Yea he's had a tough year so far but it is partially affected by injury so bounce back should come. And keep in mind that tough year is the only reason he'd possibly be available and not expensive to acquire, he had a pretty darn solid first year at the plate. things that check the boxes for Brewers would be that salary is still low, has years of control left (likely options too), and is versatile to play several positions. Things against besides a bad year so far, would be that his D doesn't seem great according to quick look. Though he looks fine/ok at 2B. So getting him and planning to start him would mean Turang to SS mid season. I'd think the more likely thing if acquired would be to take Monostario's roster spot to be back up IF for everyone. Plus its good he can play OF. Also to note he hits R so could take many of Turang's starts vs lefties. Definitely seems one worth kicking the tires on and see what it might cost. But also no need to overpay and be desperate. Our IF offense has obviously been rough this year, though at least its been passable lately, but think how much worse it would look if due to injury have to start Monostario for a month or two. Couldn't hurt to have a better insurance policy if it doesn't cost much

    Yea but does he move a needle?
  9. tmwiese55
    Something I've been thinking this year, and reminded of with his good play here, is that Hoskins seems to be way less of a liability on D this year vs last. Not sure if it checks out in advanced stats, but sure seems not as many glaring f ups like last
  10. tmwiese55
    We spent the first 5ish weeks of the year with like one healthy starting pitcher from the original plan and we're now hind sighting that we didn't need pitching depth. This season, once again just like last year, is proving you can never have enough SP depth.
  11. tmwiese55
    I guess the balls were only juiced for yelich or something.
  12. tmwiese55
    If you just take out the fluky first four games of the year where they weren't ready or were caught off guard by all the pitcher injuries, they've been on a 92 win pace since. And thats with not all that much going right for them. Its kind of shocking their record is as good as it is. Especially since the team is run by the dumbest and cheapest people ever and have the worst manager in history
  13. tmwiese55
    Have to think the salaries factor in here a bit. But yea I'd have hoped to find the flyer on a SS/3B type instead. I guess one thing to note I don't think I've seen yet is that if the team does flounder and keeps sitting a bit out of the WC and they get a good offer for Hoskins that they take, you'd have this guy to finish the year as a poor man version of him, and reclamation project that if he does well you have him next year. Or just if Hoskins gets hurt, same thing.
  14. tmwiese55
    Sure number are numbers. But that 4.91 is skewed by the one start at beginning of the year when he got hurt. Since he's been back he's at: 4 starts, 19 innings, 17K, 3.32 ERA.
  15. tmwiese55
    Generally dumb to have allowed this to leak. I'm sure it was the agent. But one would've thought the conversation could've been had that they're going to try and trade and that it would go well enough for the agent to keep quiet. In the meantime, good chance you'll be needed again soon due to injury. But only so much you can do ETA: IKF in Pit is a close salary with him. Pitt could hope for a good two months to re-trade at deadline or just take him for consistent mediocrity, maybe resign next year or if there's a way to get a pick back
  16. tmwiese55
    Yea of course Civale will be frustrated since he's generally been fine the last few weeks. But he'll also get over it pretty soon as there's no way more injuries won't come and he'll be needed again to start. If I had to guess I'd say he starts or is a 'bulk' guy before the end of the month. That said, if you can find a competent 3b/ss for him right now you do it, the equivalent of a Dejong type last year, just baseline mediocrity nothing special.

    I know the record doesn't show it but I think everyone knows the Braves are better than their record and will likely make a run to respectability at some point (probably too big a hole for playoffs). Top 5ish of their lineup is still very good. Then have guys like Albies/Harris on the bottom who are solid/ok too. And one game was vs Sale. Really their record is skewed by a terrible BP blowing a lot of games. Which of course, the BP is part of the team but the rest of the overall team is still pretty solid and the same core that has been winning for years. Yea, I'd have wanted 2/3 too, but with one vs Sale as a huge uphill battle you still split the other two. Get 3/4 vs STL now to make up for it.
  18. tmwiese55
    Perfectly solid backup. With Contreras injury and him just kind of middling this year likely because of it. Have to wonder if/when they bite the bullet of an IL stint. Maybe if Yelich is out or hits the IL a middle ground of a bunch of DH days for Contreras could come. Otherwise I was thinking to wrap a DL stint around the ASB to try and get him a couple full weeks
  19. tmwiese55
    In addition, by sending guys up and down like this you get an extra BP arm in the 4-5 days the SP like Miz would be sitting around unavailable. That's gotta be a big thing for MKE with how heavily they use their BP. So get the 5-6 innings, send down and get a fresh arm up for however many days needed, then send the bp guy down to pull up another AAA starter when needed, Rinse/repeat

    Funny, I thought I'd read that on here regarding him, thanks. But then with all the Roman Anthony talk the last few weeks I was expecting someone to mention it on tv or wherever but never saw it brought up regarding him (if it applies idk). I was just expecting someone at some point to say he'd be up around June 8-10ish due to the rule and never saw it. So I thought I might've been misremembering
  21. tmwiese55
    I know it wasn't the crux of your point, as you were speaking in terms of this year. But, bringing someone like Pratt up as a hail mary since its unlikely he can be worse than what they have would likely be costing MIL years of future control of Pratt seasons when he is a much better player than he would be now.
  22. tmwiese55
    Hey I hope he does as well, sure. But being realistic, I'd be surprised if he isn't sent down the following day. They have an off day coming Monday. In addition, its not like our starters of late have not been doing very well. At this point we know the Brewers do tons of roster manipulation with Ps, and its kind of needed with how they tend to pull them a bit early so need fresh BP arms. Plus, Mis is going to deal with innings limits too.
  23. tmwiese55
    Who knows as we just watch on TV, but to me its pretty simple that his eye/patience needs to come back and he'll go back to producing like he did the 2H last year.
  24. tmwiese55
    The cash out was a hypothetical future, not now. It was if he played next year and did well. Say he played 140-50 games, hit .280 with 25 HRs while still playing good D. I'd be looking to sell him right away the following offseason rather than bank on him staying healthy. After a year like that you'd be able to get something from someone hoping he could repeat it. Basically rather than a sell low now, that would be trying to sell at his peak
  25. tmwiese55
    I'd generally agree with the recent posts sentiment on Mitchell. But, if a trade does come up you think can help the 3b/SS and the other team likes him and wants him I think you do it. And i think you prefer to trade him than younger guys. But yea the question comes down to if a team does value him. Other thing to note is that he only has 3 years left after this one. So say he does finally stay healthy next year and pans out, you really only get him for two years before you have to trade him. Because no way you want to give a guy this injury prone much of any legit contract. And really, if next year he played 140 games and did well, I'd be looking to cash him out right away next offseason.
