  1. Corey Ray is back and did so with a triple!
  2. Khris Davis doesn't have a negative war and was a solid 3 WARish player last year. The way he is starting this year that trade could be a pretty terrible trade. Hindsight is always easy to do tough. That's not the point of this thread though. Thames should not be on the trading block. If he is legit we found our 1B on the next contending team that could be real soon if we spend money smart in FA and our top prospects come up and perform.
  3. How could you possibly know what "attempts" either player made in the off-season. For all we know, they could have offered and worked out all winter with a 1B glove, but Stearns told them to stay in the OF once Thames was signed. It doesn't matter if they tried or wanted to. It is the fact the Brewers didn't try it and they signed Thames to block them. Everything Stearns has done to this point and what he values screams a Braun trade sooner rather than later. Though with Braun easier said than done with all the different moving parts.
  4. Seriously people we are going to start arguing about Doug Melvin? Who cares those days are long gone why does it matter? The only thing more annoying is talking about the specifics of Braun's PED situation and how he tossed some dude under a bus. Let's move onto something better to talk about.
  5. Bound to get something to stick. Doesn't mention any of the bad ideas we gladly didn't do though.
  6. Seems he got the message. Said it would be fun but nice he got comfortable to start mashing homer. Isn't dissapointing.
  7. Alright so serious question here. So I was in the cafeteria today and the biggest predicament happened. In the fridge with all the drinks was my typical bottled water I get everytime. Problem is Aquafina put a Cubs logo on it and states they are the official sponsor of the world champions. If I buy this water am I not a true fan? Am I supporting the Cubs? Is it acceptable to just rip the label off and call it good or deep down have I still comitted the sin?
  8. I would be a happy man if we got Alvarez. Buehler wouldn't be a bad get either.
  9. Bernie Pleskoff‏Verified account @BerniePleskoff Braun would be a tremendous asset for the #Dodgers. But the #Brewers have to get pitching prospect(s) in return.
  10. Who else throws a split outside of him and Guerra?
  11. Have you seen Monte Harrison's head? I'd be more concerned about how the ball is doing.
  12. Don't need them to. If I replace him internally I have "insert player", $70mil, and some prospects from a trade to replace Braun. Sorry to say, but I'm guessing that wouldn't be too hard. So? Unless said team has a crystal ball they don't know that and aren't going to make trades like they know it. That's like trading away the farm right now and saying who cares IF we win the World Series this year. What I find interesting is the fact neither Santana nor Braun made any attempt to move to first base coming into the season. That leads me to believe such a thing will never happen(at least in Milwaukee). I hope Santana/Broxton both mash just so one can see what the Brewers plan to do in that situation. The Brewers might be put in a situation where they have no choice, but to just get rid of Braun. Sure one could trade Broxton or Santana, but since both would lack a track record you could risk leaving an enormous amount of value on the table in favor of an expensive mid 30s OFer. If both Santana/Broxton hit there is no way you can return Braun/Broxton/Santana to the 2018 roster as Brinson will be taking one of those spots and honestly should get it sometime this year. The logical thing would be to rid yourself of the older, less controllable, and more expensive option. Hopefully we get the luxury of having the problem of getting rid of one of our current 3 OFers.
  13. Not saying a team would want him getting a ton of at-bats if he is a decent pitcher. That being said you aren't going to BS him and lie acting like you are. You would tell him that straight up from the beginning. He would likely go to a team promising him both regardless.
  14. Oh no we upset 10 people. And come on lets be serious here. Why is it not serious, everyone always says the point of instant replay is to overturn the obvious missed calls (which is a lie). So then prove it by actually having a consequence for not challenging things that were obviously wrong. Because if you hate instant reply that much just get rid of it.
  15. Lewis Brinson comes back and casually smashes a homerun.
  16. You mean like Millone? I was going to say, we are basically trotting out a lefty Arroyo Because of two starting rotation injuries and the refusal to call up top prospects.
  17. Disagree. A team is not going to promise him a lot of PAs and then cut them off because he is pitching too good. If they have that idea they would tell him up front what their plan is. We are talking about a guy who is considering coming over here to play for pennies. Pull that kind of stuff and he will just leave, good luck getting another Japanese player, and have fun with FAs for awhile.
  18. Well when you have a .500 BABIP... Seriously though he has done pretty well so far. Hoping once he gets comfortable that HR power will start to show and get us all really excited.
