    No, not in my opinion. According to WAR, OBP, SLG, OPS+, DRS
  2. Devinep
    Brendan Rodgers is objectively an upgrade over Monastario
  3. Devinep
    Yes it is. That is why they shouldn’t pigeon-hole themselves into needing a 3B to move Ortiz to SS when Turang can also play SS. Yes there are a couple interesting trade targets in Eugenio Suarez and Josh Smith, but idk how available they are. But Brandon Lowe and Durbin sharing 2B with Lowe also playing 1B/DH and Durbin as UTIL would be nice.

    After the Kim signing, I thought about Lux as a 2B target with Ortiz at 3B and Turang at SS but he isn’t the kind of hitter to make that defensive adjustment for. It’s like Lorde says, that kind of Lux just ain’t for us
  5. Devinep
    Did you know he’s from Wisconsin?
  6. Devinep
    Black didn’t hardly play 3B even in AAA and is an awful infielder so he really ain’t even an option at 3B besides emergency
  7. Devinep
    Depending on roster construction, I’d be ok if he Didn’t play much other than a pinch runner/defensive replacement for Hoskins. But I hope he isn’t a progress stopper for Black in MIL or even Martinez/Clarke at AAA. I hope he never ever is a DH again because a bad hitter is a waste of a DH
  8. Devinep
    Profar really can play anywhere other than 1B/LF anymore. And he’s not good at those. That said, he made some swing changes that paid off and might not be a fluke. He could be a decent 1B when Hoskins is DH and LF when Yelich is DH and be the one last good hitter the team needs if they’re going with a cheap FA or internal options

    Scherzer and verlander are free agents
  10. Devinep
    No way would Boston want a lefty outfielder. They already have a glut of those plus Yoshida at DH and Roman Anthony about MLB ready
  11. Devinep
    But, but, I’ve been told repeatedly that spending doesn’t = winning! Which is why so many teams in the bottom half of payroll spending keep winning World Series titles!!
  12. Devinep
    That’s not a bad idea, although it doesn’t help the lack of power. But if he does show last year was a fluke, you still have a utility guy and can turn to Boeve by then maybe. Or mix with Durbin/Dunn for a bit.

    I was thinking Tyler Black would be this year’s Jake Bauers. But with his defensive struggles at 1B, he looks to be a better fit as an OF-only. Maybe at this point Black would be of best use as a trade piece to an OF-needy team. To the rays for Brandon Lowe or to Miami for Jonah Bride+. Those 2 trades also bring back a backup 1B as well as needed hitter
  14. Devinep
    All options are gross but I’d take Polanco based on track record. But going with any of them as the everyday 3B? Yuck
  15. Devinep
    Yes just keep Hoskins for a bunch of reasons: -it’d be selling low after last year and he’s been good every other year -the team needs power -there is no other full time 1B on the roster (Black sucks at infield) -I am not confident the brewers would reinvest the $ saved -some of the 1B free agents are gone now
  16. Devinep
    Yes. A garbage hitter whose only quality was being the team’s only competent 1B was a waste of a DH, especially when you’re then stuck with Hoskins at DH. He did it 15 times during the season but in the playoffs was the worst one. Murphy said it was to allow Sanchez to PH for Bauers but I’d rather have Bauers and then some Sanchez at 1B than Hoskins
  17. Devinep
    His bat would fit so well. I it wish he didn’t let himself get so fat that he clogs DH how. I wouldn’t want to completely block DH for Hoskins and Yelich at the moment
  18. Devinep
    I think that is the best way as now with the current roster. Yeli and Hoskins should be the man DH’s. When Hoskins is DH, black can play 1B. When Yeli is DH, there are OF ABs available. And some more will be in the likely event of a Yelich and/or Mitchell IL trip
  19. Devinep
    Yes as of now he would be the main catcher in a couple years. But Boston would be in more desperate need of a catcher as soon as this year. And good luck getting a player as good as Casas without giving up anyone who might be a future starter.
  20. Devinep
    As a team that should be trying to get to the World Series, I would like to see sights set higher for 3B than the Moncada, Dunn/Durbin, Baty proposals. Unless they get a good bat in another spot, they should be looking for an actual hitter at 3B. Eugenio Suarez makes so much sense. Maybe one of the Josh’s from TEX.
  21. Devinep
    He likely won’t stay healthy long enough to hit 25 hrs in a season. He also might get the Huira treatment when teams take advantage of his inability to hit up in the zone
  22. Devinep
    Barry isn’t good offensively or defensively so he probably doesn’t need to be constantly mentioned as a target. I do like Josh Smith though. With Jung in front of him, he could be possibly available.
  23. Devinep
    You cannot rely on health and production from Yeli and Mitchell. Hoskins was down last year. Adames is gone. They need 1 bat and should be after 2 IMO. With one of those guys being a 3B and one of those bats having a good amount of power. Eugenio Suarez would be a similar bat to Adames but also get creative in finding some pop. Jonah Bride? Brandon Lowe?
  24. Devinep
    I don’t think there’s any way a team would take on that contract for free.
  25. Devinep
    I guess I assumed the Brewers stopped caring about 1B defense when they played Hoskins at 1B and DH’d a crappy hitting Jake Bauers. But I do hope they have a Tyler black type to allow for more pinch running/Defensive subbing for 1B if it’s Casas or Hoskins there. But I think you could make Hoskins and Casas fit in the roster (although unloading Hoskins would be nice but unlikely)with Hoskins at DH most days. They would have to be confident in Yeli playing LF most days, but he could also use days off. I also see him likely being on the IL, opening up DH at bats. And if Hoskins hits like last year, he doesn’t need to start vs a lot of RHP.
