    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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
  6. 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

    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
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. 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'
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. tmwiese55
    Which, if he pans out, could cost you a season down the line when he would hit 45 HRs
  14. 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.
  15. 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
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. 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.
  21. tmwiese55
    I think its possible Skubal's value is being overstated a bit here, well probably every where. Top top prospects rarely get traded other by San Diego, especially for like 10 starts from someone, and rentals in general. If Skubal gets traded I think he'll go for less than has generally been tossed around. But what do I really know, just a guess. And I suppose LAD are crazy with a good farm, so they might just do it so they're almost unbeatable (and so he doesn't go to someone like us) and to get a leg up on signing him in the offseason
  22. tmwiese55
    No idea how that doesn't get overturned. Clear as day his foot was there before the tag
  23. tmwiese55
    Yea they're kind of ignoring there's like a 15-20 mph wind straight out. That said, shout out to our old boy Collin Rhea, keeps getting it done as a perfectly average/serviceable starter. And in general have to give Cubs props for winning and getting hot at this time when all their pitchers are hurt. Very surprising they keep getting it done, their division hopes could easily be over if things had gone the other way the last 2-3 weeks. Instead they're right in and still the top WC
  24. tmwiese55
    Surprisingly good start to the week after the horrible 4-2 week last week
  25. tmwiese55
    Surprising win, as for this time yesterday I was under the impression we might not win another game this year and might be one of the worst teams in the league
