    4 straight balls to walk Keon.....oh.
  2. MrTPlush
    If Keon stays playing well... do they jettison Sogard or Arcia when Cain comes back? I wonder ... Isn’t Saladino on the doorstep of returning? I’m guessing that is what they are waiting for.

    Peraltas resume isn’t even in the same hemisphere as Degrom or Syndergaards. He’s had 3 good starts and one bad one. If you’re going to use three good starts to decide that he’ll be able to pitch at the same level as Degrom or Syndergaard then I don’t know what to say to you. You don't trade all your nails for a hammer when your building a house today. Open up that box of nails: 90% aren’t useful nails.

    Time to demote Arcia.
  5. MrTPlush
    Only if they think the can fix Aria themselves. Overall his value is flying down the toilet fast.
  6. MrTPlush
    I may throw a party if/when we find someone to replace Arcia this year.
  7. MrTPlush
    No, to me it makes more sense to put Arcia on the side statistically it is hit to more often in a shift. Do you want the ball getting hit to your no range bad defender...or to someone who will cover even more range in the shift with slick hands? He covers just as much ground on the right side when they shift for a lefty. That is because he cover the 2nd base area while Villar is halfway to the right field wall. I get the logic you are trying to use, but if said person hit it to the left side all the power to them cause usually they won’t. And having Arcia over there likely doesn’t help that.

    Every time a see a trade offer involving Domingo Santana I feel like I’m watching a horror movie. Britton doesn’t have much value coming off an injury pitching like a dumpster fire. Woodruff, Ortiz, Houser, Santana, and Ray basically for Machado. That sounds terrible. Ray, Woodruff, and Ortiz is a pretty darn generous offer. No way I’m throwing Santana away if his value is that low.

    I am inferring from your post that you are for a trade. But, if you look at what you wrote - the postseason being based on luck, should actually mean that you want to make the postseason as many times as possible, and not necessarily put all the eggs in the basket for any one year. You give yourselves more chances at the playoffs by keeping the years of cheap control of Hiura, Peralta..... Personally, I am torn on a big trade. I am leaning to trading for a Jody Mercer on the cheap and adding a bullpen arm if Albers doesn't come back to be Albers. I’m for a lot of things, things that make us better (long and short term). I will make arguments for things that I am for and not necessarily for. I do it often to help people see the other side of things. I’m all for maximizing postseason appearances. Except I’m not all for maximizing wild card appearances. We have a good team, but certainly not a team I’m confident can win a bunch of division titles (or even the wild card) in the coming years. They will need help and it will take prospects. Peralta and Hiura might be more immediate impacts, but some others in lower tiers definitely should be dangled to add to the MLB roster. I think we have a pretty great chance to win the division. I’d actually call us the favorite at this point because I think our team will fair better over a marathon season. Along with that I expect us to make some notable moves to really solidify this team. With such a strong division title case we need to take it seriously. Do we need to acquire deGrom? No, but certainly is not a bad idea.

    This isn’t our year? I’m really jealous of the posters who have crystal balls. Could you just tell me what year is ours? I want to get season tickets.
  11. MrTPlush
    #1 How do we know it’s not our year? We currently lead the entire NL and the postseason is largely based on luck of getting hot. #2 Peralta is going to fall apart because at this rate to September is about as long as he can pitch. Down the stretch and into the postseason he is unlikely to be available unless we throw him into the bullpen for a month plus now.
  12. MrTPlush
    DS has never had a legit contending team that wasn’t a total surprise/possible fluke. So his past deals are almost completely irrelevant. Nothing DS did previously made signing Cain even entirely possible...until it happened.
  13. MrTPlush
    Eh, I'd much rather just consider what their production is relative to average at their position. It has nothing to do with a player's merit if they have another really productive player who can play the same position. The idea is to be much better than your counterpart on the other team, not much better than your back-up. You're still much more likely to win because you have Cain instead of an average CF. The fact that you also have Yelich is strictly circumstantial. Then that’s Most Outstanding Player or along those lines in my opinion. If we are getting technical and trying to label a MVP for the team then might as well go with the guy who adds the most value. A 5 WAR player replacing a 4 WAR player isn’t adding much value. A 4 WAR player replacing a 0 WAR player is technically more valuable.
  14. MrTPlush
    Don’t teams normally play on the grass for Arcia? 90% of his contact is about as hard as a bunt.
  15. MrTPlush
    Right or wrong the MLB world doesn’t seem to value Ramirez at all. He had pretty great stats last year, was a free agent, and came back here. He then continues to look even better...and some older guy with awful MLB stats gets the call over him. If Ramirez gets a call up I’m going to be really scared because obviously the Brewers don’t value him as a legit MLB reliever.

    What a hit, wow.
  18. MrTPlush
    Part of the MVP consideration should take into account who would be there if they weren’t there. For instance Thames instead of Aguilar...not the biggest drop off. Broxton or Phillips instead of Cain...yikes.
  19. MrTPlush
    "Game over" posts already? Sheesh... If you can point out where he said game over, that would be great. Game over or annoyingly pessimistic. All the same.
  20. MrTPlush
    Aguilar seems like the kind of guy feeding off his success. All the confidence in the world when he is mashing.
  21. MrTPlush
    He has wicked good stats on the road and against Ledties. Maybe we see what he has.
  22. MrTPlush
    Jacob deGrom is an absolute game changer if we acquire him, especially in the postseason. Chacin or deGrom? Who do you prefer in a one game playoff? How about when he pitches multiple games in the NLDS, NLCS, or World Series? He went 3-0 in the NLDS and NLCS in 2015. I could easily see him being our Justin Verlander and going down in Brewers lore. That being said I’m glad it isn’t my decision to trade a bunch of near MLB ready players for an Ace. I will say I wouldn’t package both Burnes and Peralta...not a big deal as I am sure they would take a different package. I also wouldn’t do it as a stand-alone move. I’d want to see the offense improved up the middle somehow (not really much out there to improve C). The article mentions Cabrera, that might not be a bad option.

    I think my posts are the ones in question and I don't even think it's possible. I was just going through the exercise for fun. If you go through the 13 pages there was a legit discussion about it and many people claiming the possibility of it. It’s not just your posts...maybe not yours period.
  24. MrTPlush
    Meh, he has years of not crazy production since 23. A good first half at the age of 28 isn’t going to skyrocket your value. If they think there is anything to it they will hold onto him. The offers they get will reflect what he has done before this year.
  25. MrTPlush
    This is my favorite sentence. "Vastly" overhyped. Yelich's career BABIP in the major leagues is .355. I'm guessing when he hit .330 for two straight seasons in the minors, he had a BABIP of .400+, Great hitters all have high BABIP. The Brewers don't need him to hit .360 for the Brewers. The just need another productive bat. and he's likely capable of hitting .280-.290 with occasional power. His floor is probably .250 which is no worse than the guys they trot out there on a daily basis. So he's worth the risk. It's pretty simple. Woah it’s like if you read my posts you’d see I said the same thing. Though if his floor is .250 he probably is not better than what we are trotting out now because his defense is likely inferior than every other player we trot out. Look all I’m saying is I think Hiura gets overhyped and everyone assumes he is going to come up and mash. Maybe he does maybe he doesn’t...no one really knows. Sure one can argue he just hits everything and doesn’t need to walk. I mean sure that is true, but that’s just an assumption. Just saying Hiura may not be the offensive savior people think he can be...in the short term...this year alone. On another note: Somewhere someone asked of examples of players who started in A ball and made an impact at the MLB level the same year...Christian Yelich to name one. I think he started 2013 repeating A+, but regardless he went from A+ to AA to MLB (late July). He hit to a 112 OPS+ that year at the MLB level.
