    The salary is off the books after this year anyway. I assume any signing of him is for league vet minimum. If not, then yea let him go. At league min it harms nothing. He gets put on the 60 day to rehab, can be a good influence around the team, etc. If you get anything out of him in '28 for league min, great. If not, no big deal

    I don't buy into the 'if it wasn't peralta we wouldn't want him' argument. IMO this would be the exact guy they would target. He's having a down year so it keeps his price to acquire low, he's been very good for a number of years and our pitching system might think they can tweak him and get him back to being good again. They go for this type of guy somewhat frequently. But yea in this case they do know him so well that they know the personality/chemistry stuff is good. To me, it would come down to if the Brewers pitching nerds think they know what's wrong with him this year and if they can get him back to what he was. Everyone knows the stats this year are poor, the idea is to get him back to what he was, if they can then of course we'd want him. I recall an article earlier in the year pointing out the differences in what the Mets are having him do. If our lab people look at his data and the conclusion is the Mets are idiots and we can fix him, and the cost is low then its worth a shot. Have to think his cost is much less than all the other names we've talked about around here, but yea if not the get the Ryan type instead. But the vibe seems to be they do not want to give up any of the upper tier prospects Also, almost no one goes more than 5-6 innings anymore. Its just the reality.

    I doubt As move Soderstrum but if reports are true that they're listening he is someone that could make sense for MKE because of the contract he's on. We'd likely have to give up significantly to get him though due to that control. I'd assume one of Frelick/Mitchell would be in it to free up our logjam. Next year could flip to 1B a lot if they let Bauers/Vaughn go. Its a big splash move and I don't think they'll do it, but it address their power void. Since Mitchell is finally playing so well I doubt they'll want to trade him. For me, I'd be up for trying to cash Mitchell out while you can and since he's not controlled all that much longer and his price is going to start going up. But start with Frelick then who knows what prospects would be required.

    Weaver seems a perfect fit other than the contract, not exactly something MKE usually does. However, you could probably talk yourself into a logic of getting him and keeping him for next year could open up trading Megill in the offseason if the return is right. I'd just keep both in that scenario since at the next deadline you'll just be looking for someone like Megill anyway, but its not my money. I suppose lockout concerns could be a factor on how they handle either of these contracts but I don't know enough details. You do free up Woodys 22ish mil for next year though. Perhaps to increase prospect return from us they can talk the Mets into chipping in some money

    Durbin and Seigler just carving up the Rays today. Both been playing well in the Sox winning streak.
  6. tmwiese55
    I figured a Miz discussion would be way more than that so not even worth having. But at slightly more than that, especially if team options are involved there's a chance something could be done that make sense all the way around. Still doubtful on it but worth kicking the can on
  7. tmwiese55
    Seems to me the opposite of being cheap. Think its 3 years in a row now of taking on risk money hoping to get some help rather than being cheap and using prospects instead. Basically it seems our 'cheap ass' owners are choosing to spend money rather than prospects.
  8. tmwiese55
    In that case though Vaughn and Sal would both likely be starting for them as they're desperate for offense and regulars on offense. Though I haven't looked into how some of their callups have been doing. Still, yea I agree I don't see them giving up a pitcher like that. Have to remember Vaughn will be in the 10 mill area or gone next year, they don't love paying money in that world. Sal while adequate is likely ceilinged at about what he is now. I generally like Crow and think he has a chance, but still don't think this is enough for them
  9. tmwiese55
    Don't see Robbie Ray's name thrown around much here or out in the media. Seems like he's rebounded and been fairly solid the last two years, only signed through this year and would probably owe him around 11 mil by the time he's acquired. Many teams would likely look to have SF eat some of the salary. Maybe offer to take it all on to reduce prospect pay out. Or you can make the other argument, that we could entice them to pay more money due to how much better prospects we could afford to give. Either way, can't imagine the prospect cost is all too much for him.
  10. tmwiese55
    And with how good his swing looked, I'm wagering he's spent some time working on it in the past and it might've been a close call on whether to be a switch hitter or not long term. But yea, if a non pitcher can pitch then a hitter can do this, the only thing its hurting is his own chances of a free hit/hr
  11. tmwiese55
    I'd agree. Would be a nice time to give him a two week break other than 1 inning in the ASG. FYI, CBS currently lists Miz vs Skenes this Sunday. I'm sure MLB would prefer if both of them took that day off. With how mediocre Skenes has been lately it wouldn't surprise if Pit was looking at the same near two week break for him. Of course they're a bit more desperate for Ws though
  12. tmwiese55
    Right, generally speaking it seems they missed the note that a lefty was gonna be the bulk guy and should've had a vs lefty line up out there. But who knows, that stuff is tricky when its questionable if anyone will go more than 2-3 innings. In addition, a vs lefty lineup could've easily had one of yelich/Bauers on the bench and both had good games. Sometimes baseball just happens
  13. tmwiese55
    yea and he's possibly coming on at this time to play D for Bauers anyway. That said, I agree with the comments earlier on getting Vaughn in for Frelicks earlier ABs. Sure you'd have a few innings of Bauers D in the OF but can put the new guy in for the 8th/9th innings so it would've only been a few innings
  14. tmwiese55
    heck of a play by the CF. Off the bat I thought that would be an easy score and initially thought not worth even throwing to the plate. Still he looks safe
  15. tmwiese55
    Definitely an issue the last couple weeks. But through the year RISP stats for the brewers have been among the best in the league. One of the reasons they're considered 'lucky'
  16. tmwiese55
    I looked at Jones's page and he has at least some IF experience here and there the last couple years. They might view him as a Util type that can fill in a pinch. I didn't look at who else is on the 40 man as a more traditional IF utility guy. Man where is Siegler when you need him
  17. tmwiese55
    Right. That said, there's certainly a world where he keeps tearing it up in AA. Gets to AAA say a month from now, keeps killing it. And then come end of Aug or early Sept our 3B situation is still trash and they do give it a try for the playoffs. Right now though, with the team basically on cruise control to a division win you don't have to take that risk
  18. tmwiese55
    Which, if he pans out, could cost you a season down the line when he would hit 45 HRs
  19. tmwiese55
    If not for the roster rules issues tossing out fischer and seeing what happens could be an idea. However, starting his clock, using a 40 man spot for that gamble just isn't likely to happen. Especially with the potential lockout coming. Say it was like the NBA and he was on a 2 way type contract where there is no risk in bringing him up and down, yea with our production at 3B give it a try.
  20. tmwiese55
    Yea Sal has been perfectly good for the last month or so. And Perkins has generally been adequate when playing vs lefties. Not sure where the playing time comes from but we'll see. I also haven't looked if there is a bunch of lefties the rest of the week or anything
  21. tmwiese55
    New Zealand could be on this list if you're ok with that long of a flight. Ticks all the boxes, very family friendly. Tons of variety in things to do and different types of nature/landscapes to see.
  22. tmwiese55
    Almost anyone who is a SS can play 3B. We currently have a massive lack of production at both positions. Of course we all know Pratt is signed long term, but the person acquired can go to 3rd now or next year, or Pratt could. Chances are whoever they acquire is worse at defensive SS than Pratt/Ortiz so it would be them being moved. In addition, there is no reason they couldn't send Pratt back down this year for more time at AAA, and then sort it out in the offseason on a plan going forward.
  23. tmwiese55
    Guessing he gets the 9th. But yea why not have him do 2-3 innings here. IDK, maybe only down 4 they thought this was the better route to stay alive-ish in the game
  24. tmwiese55
    No idea how Turang made that baserunning mistake. Its all right in front of you and you're down 4 runs. Ultimately it only costs 1 base so nbd, but still
  25. tmwiese55
    Baseball is a weird game. Win with your bottom 3 starters, likely lose with the Cy Young contender Yea weird inning to mess this game up. BAd error to start it all. Then to play scared after up 0-2 on a blah hitting C.
