I really don't expect Arcia to be back. Stearns has basically thrown Arcia under the bus, backed up, and ran him over continuously for a solid year. When you publicly call one of your own players terrible over and over I think they are probably good as gone. Regardless I think there is little to no chance Arcia gets the starting gig if he somehow stays.
-
I personally didn't, but I don't blame people for it. Marketing staffs often communicate with the front office to avoid such situations...though for pictures? Yah, I doubt it. More so for promotions as a promotion after a player leaves is real cringy.
-
I liked him, probably not 4 years though. 3/$24mil I probably could have swung in my head.
-
Personally I think the Brewers are making moves partially aimed at clearing payroll. I still expect a return of Moustakas and I definitely believe a major pitching addition is plausible. The Brewers have cut payroll by getting rid of both Davies and Anderson...both of which are better than the one guy they added (Lauer). To me that screams big addition coming in the rotation. Just a guess, but I expect some notable payroll spending at some point here.

He is pretty much Chase Anderson, slightly worse thus far in his career. Which is kinda strange why the Brewers would go after him as they hated Anderson's profile. Maybe they think they can improve something in him. At worst he is a cheap #5 starter. Is it really strange though? Lauer has 5 years of team control, 2 of them for minimum while Anderson had two $9m option years. Lauer is 24, Anderson 31. So they get a cheaper Anderson(ish), and believe he can be better. Only slightly, I am not saying it is a bad get. A league minimum #5 starter is good with me. I only say it is strange because the Brewers didn't like Anderson in 2018, kept him in 2019, and again seemed to hate using him once again. I like the addition, but just somewhat surprised they went out and got Chase Anderson 2.0. That is all.

The gap looks to have been bridged. Never thought they get someone like Urias though. If Urias sticks for the next 6 years, it begs the question of what becomes of Turang. It isn't really worth questioning because Urias hasn't proven to be a worthy MLB SS and Turang is nowhere near the MLB level.
-
Not saying its going to happen. I actually don't think its going to happen. Just saying its viable. Rendon is expected to get $30mil+ and Wheeler about $20mil. I don't think that is even remotely possible for us.
-
Rendon? And Wheeler? You guys are setting yourselves up for some big disappointment.
-
Highly doubtful, Hiura’s value is 2nd. Definitely not 1B
-
Why does this have to be apart of a master plan or why can't he be the opening day starter? He was already better than Arcia last year (marginally) in his first extended look at the MLB level. I will reserve my judgement until he produces. I think this deal is a bit closer in value than people give credit. Davies is a solid starter and Grisham is a solid prospect. I like the deal, but Urias is still a prospect and we just got done with a similar hyped/ranked prospect being an absolute bust in Arcia. We shall see, excited for the likely outcome of not seeing Arcia everyday again, but Urias may end up just as bad. At face value, without other moves, we just made the MLB team worse in my opinion. That has to be taken into consideration. Excited for the moves to come and the overall look of the team come opening day. This certainly isn't the end and this certainly means more moves to be made. Simply put I can’t really give an idea about this deal before the other moves are made. We now have to fill a spot in the rotation and possibly the OF if Braun moves to 1B.
-
Oh, can't say I am too sad after his last moment as a Brewer. Wonder what for. This is either a sign they are going to go after a notable OF acquisition or Braun to 1B ain't happening.

I almost bought the new Rav4. It is cheaply built, pathetically outdated for a new remodel, lame features without spending luxury car prices, and has had numerous problems already. To be honest it seems likes Toyota knew the fanboys/fangirls would gobble it up and so they cut corners like crazy.
-
Most of you are too young to remember how horrible American cars were in the 70s and 80s. Toyota, Honda, and others took advantage. You know what? American auto makers had to respond. That's how the market is supposed to work. I don't care where the car is made or assembled. We have two vehicles now, both American, fwiw. Sure, that is exactly what I am saying. Imports aren't bad, they are good as long as we still have strong exports too. It creates competition and drives prices down. If we didn't have strong imports to help drive prices down for consumers it would not be good. Like I said though, I don't hate American made products or cars. I bought the most American made car on the road because it met my needs.

A 38-7 throttling probably means more than Wisconsin barely winning at a neutral site. I’d say both would be real real comparable. Maybe recency bias favors the Wisconsin win, but I’m not convinced. I certainly don’t think it is enough to make a 2 loss Wisconsin team more worthy than a 1 loss OSU team. OSU isn’t going to go from #1 to out because of a loss to Wisconsin. OSU has to lose this week...if not, there is zero path in my opinion. Even then it is quite the pipe dream.
-
I went to opening day one time. As the Brewers were getting pounded 10-0 I quickly wondered why I paid postseason prices for a game at a crappy time, with crappy weather, and just as valuable as the other 161 games.
-
He is not a base stealer and certainly not a 20/20 threat. His career is a 59% success rate. His career average, if he played 162 games, is 8 SBs. He would have to double his career high...that is bonkers. Is Yelich a 60 SB then? PRINCE FIELDER HAS A BETTER SUCCESS RATE It is also pretty generous to say Garcia is a more all around hitter than Thames. While true, it isn't like Garcia is that good himself. He has a high K-rate and a low OBP himself. I don't think he is balanced enough it is worth having a .780-.800 OPS bat over one that is .850ish.

Regardless that tweet is incredibly lame. I guess it shouldn't be surprising said person would take the low road in that situation. Wonder how other clients would view him throwing an old client under the bus like that. -

First off he is not a base stealer. Sprint speed means nothing if you aren't getting good jumps. He has proven over his entire career he can't steal bases. Secondly I guess I don't get it. A lot of people want to move Braun to first to sign an OFer and I don't see how that improves anything. We could just sign Thames who arguably is a better bat than Garcia and leave Braun in LF. Braun - LF Yelich - RF Thames - 1B Yelich - LF (improvement) Garcia - RF (likely worse defense, maybe a wash) Braun - 1B (definitely worse defense) You are making yourself worse offensively and possibly worse overall defensively. If Garcia regresses this is really bad.
-
Peak performance is incredibly important in HOF cases and I am not sure "most innings at "insert position" means anything to voters. His good defense definitively does...but not number of innings at SS.

Travis d'Arnaud to Braves - 2 years/$16M
MrTPlush replied to Matt Breen's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I am not really concerned about catcher if they improve SS. If they don't upgrade SS it is a bit more concerning. Pina is not that bad...whether he starts half the time or if he starts almost all the time. I don't think people understand how bad the catcher position is. Pina, with his defense, is likely middle of the pack. Hardly a big concern. -
Ozzie Smith amassed 77 WAR in his career (60 is usually a magic number for the HOF)...Omar Vizquel amassed 45.5 WAR. Not sure why the disparity, but something tells me these individuals should not be compared on the same level, especially when Smith did what he did in like 10% less ABs worth of playing time.

There is absolutely no reason the Badgers should have any chance at the playoff, they simply don’t deserve it. Why should they get in over a one loss Ohio State team? They got wrecked by OSU once and likely would only squeak by if they win the Big Ten game. I’d be shocked if the got ranked over a two loss OSU team to be honest. I can’t imagine what it would take for the Badgers to be top four. Wish they could, but they just don’t have the resume with two losses. One being Illinois and the other being an absolute beat down.
