Yelich picked #22 for those curious.
-
Yah, I think that is how it works...what exactly are you trying to say?
-
As in throwing $15mil a year at someone for 4+ years...something along those lines.
-
Lol, sure. Must be why they are looking at all those “TOR” guys presently. Dang you Ryan Braun! Darvish isn’t a Brewer because well, we are the Brewers and he doesn’t want to be there. It’s okay. We will survive. We don't know if that holds true anymore. Lorenzo Cain could have been our one and only FA splash.
-
People bag on Braun's contract because it is a waste of payroll space. He is pretty replacable at this point. Brett Phillips could match Braun's production(due to defense) I would bet. If the Brewers could trade Braun's contract Yu Darvish would probably be a Brewer quickly after. Then we could keep Santana for one heck of an offense or trade him for a different need. Sucks, but that is the reality.

Makes you wonder if Stearns is targeting something! Stearns uses BR.com too!!!!
-
Well said. This is where I am. I’m surprised we lost Harrison on top of Brinson, but I still like where we are headed. I do hope we keep Phillips after the dust settles. Left handed bat, insane arm, etc. Now that Harrison is gone, my next great hope is Lutz. Agreed on Phillips. I think he can be a huge asset to the team and I also really hope Burnes doesn't go anywhere. Phillips as a 4th OFer would be amazing and Burnes can hopefully take over a rotation spot in the next few years allowing us to trade someone for prospects to keep payroll down(while restocking the farm). Obviously each can be had in the right trade, but both could be very helpful in the near future.

Trying to cut down on Ks it seems. Good. Wish we could add a nice starter some way though.
-
So we traded to high risk OBP guys for a assures OBP guy? Sweet. How is that a concern?
-
I wore my Brewers/Marlins shirt from the special away series at home games. I guess I am a fortune teller.
-
It isn't even just that. Players like Yelish controllable for 5 years being shopped? That just does not happen. Getting the chance to add a player like that giving up high risk prospects(outside of Brinson) is pretty hard to pass up.
-
I definitely expect some other type of major move. Whether that is a SP signing or trading Santana to recoup prospects and sign a Cain. Everyone everyone complains we don’t have that special bat in our order and we lacked “special” guys. Well here you guys go. We still have a solid farm to boot.
-
I honestly really really like this deal for the Brewers. We just got an All Star caliber player for Brinson and a pair of high risk bats. They have potential, but a lot working against them. I love Harrison and wish him the best of luck. He puts it all on the field and deserves success. He was my favorite prospect and Diaz was another big time favorite for me. What a nice birthday present for me!
-
I really hope to do this someday if I can rationalize such a steep price. It’s definitely worth the money for all the unforgettable memories. Especially this year with some many more recent Brewers.

Good luck to anyone and their crypto currencies...I really wish you luck if you are trying to get into bitcoin. You may be right that somewhere in our future we will be using it, but the speed for it to get there is not going to be very fast. These currencies are rising at fantastic levels, but they are no more useful than they were yesterday and no more widespread. These currencies have huge percentages held in not some many hands. The bubble will pop eventually. Crypto currencies are not an investment...at least not a very true one. It is more of a big ole gamble and I hope you aren’t gambling too much. Someday a lot of people are going to lose a whole lot.

Same thing really if we are talking the typical repayment method of 10 years at a fixed monthly rate. Only difference would be the interest rate The thought process is if you had extra money would it be better to pay off more of your loan or invest it? If your loan interest rate is 4%, but I could invest it and get a 7.5% return technically you would be better off financially investing and just paying the minimum on your student loan. In the end I would be gaining 3.5% on that extra money. Of course, in my opinion, this theory doesn't make a ton of sense to me unless you have some incredible loan amounts to pay back and you have a lot of extra money. Because if you only have $30k in loans or so you really aren't going to be gaining much. I would rather make my credit look nice and have the loans gone faster than make an extra grand or two.

Not to mention possibly having to switch insurance providers and all that fun jazz.
