    I get wanting to keep Turang at 3B because Ortiz has a better arm. But I don’t get the whole “but he’s an elite 2B” narrative. Anyone who’d be a good SS would also be a very good 2B. By that logic, once you play 2B you can never move to SS because you’re good at 2B, you should stay there. And if you’re not a good 2B, you aren’t good enough to play SS

    The Brewers need power and have room at 1B with Hoskins DHing. Boston only has Connor Wong and no catching prospects arriving anytime soon. They also may want to move Devers off of 3B to 1B. They also could stand to be not so LHB-Heavy. Casas has lots of control left and is still cheap so it isn’t only a win-now or budget-busting move. seems like the start of a win-win trade

    We do need power. I just don’t see it coming from another guy best put in CF, even if one is sent back to CHI. I also wonder if they’ll wait to see Robert play better to establish value after his down season. Brandon Lowe, Jonah Bride, Eugenio Suarez, Profar would Be good power sources without having to “pay” for CF defense when it’s not something the team needs

    Durbin should be a Monastario replacement/ Turang platoon/mate, not handed an everyday job. That leaves an infield spot (likely 3B) to add to a lineup that needs help. I think there is a redundancy of guys who aren’t great hitters whose best value is playing good CF defense. Maybe sell high on Mitchell? But he’s one of the few above average hitters with pop. So trade Frelick, get a bat at 3B like Suarez, and either let Black play 1B/LF. Or get a 2nd bat as an upgrade to Black like Lamont Wade

    I thought maybe Wikyer Abreu might be sent to the White Sox to make room for a righty bat and alleviate their left handed heavy lineup, especially with Anthony being and OF and almost MLB ready. with Teel gone and the aforementioned LHB heavy lineup, plus rumors of Devers moving to 1B and Casas being offered to Seattle, maybe a Quero+ for Casas swap makes sense for both MIL and BOS now

    With so many prospects graduating recently, Baltimore’s top farm system is no longer that. So Mountcastle for prospects may be appealing for that reason. Plus it would create an opening for Mayo and save a bit of $ to go after a starting pitcher in the Manea/Flaherty level. or maybe a simple cheap acquisition of Ryan O’Hearn if they can’t get what they want for Mountcastle
  7. Devinep
    After getting O’Neil and Sanchez, I wonder if Baltimore would be open to trading Ryan Mountcastle to Milwaukee to improve 1B and DH Hoskins
  8. Devinep
    I would be willing but hesitant to get a 2nd 1B-only player in the team with Hoskins right now (and no he isn’t getting traded without eating a lot of $ or a bad contract in return). Especially if it was piston trading Casas to open 1B for Devers. But I’m not sure Lowe is worth clogging up DH, which is where Hoskins would play, with Contreras and Yeli off of surgery, DH should be a revolving door. that said, I would be interested in a 1B who can also play other positions (Brandon Lowe, Lamont Wade, etc)
  9. Devinep
    Yeah Baty would cost less and I wouldn’t hate buying low on him. But Bride was a good hitter last year and Miami could use OF help so they may line up better as a trade partner. I also would like to see the Brewers a power hitter who is good enough to hit in the middle of the order, and replace Adames, and try for 2 of those hitters. losing Adames from a lineup that already started Jake Bauers in a playoff game means and will be relying on injury prone hitters means there are enough average hitters throughout the lineup and I hope they get some actual good ones
  10. Devinep
    Jonah Bride could be a cheaper way to get power at 3B/1B.
  11. Devinep
    I would think Hoskins would be able to provide insight about Bohm’s attitude. Plus, the change of scenery and literally millions of dollars on the line for him depending on how he plays, there is reason to think he could do well in MKE.
  12. Devinep
    That would be nice but no team would take on his 18 million plus 4 million buyout
  13. Devinep
    Then you’ll have to include dead $ or another bad contract. His contract has negative value
  14. Devinep
    What happened to Hoskins?
  15. Devinep
    That’s a good point that they could co-exist well. I just think that in the event Casas becomes expendable due to Devers moving to 1B, that would out 3B as a need as well as back end relief and SP. if those weren’t filled first, those would probably be what Boston would want in exchange for Casas before getting catching help but getting Casas would be really good for Milwaukee
  16. Devinep
    I’m not sure they’d want Quero too much with Kyle Teel already reaching AAA
  17. Devinep
    Berti would be a fine signing for a utility bench option. He’d be a bad choice for a starting 3B
  18. Devinep
    The amount the brewers would be willing to pay him vs the Giants or Dodgers would be measured in the 10s of millions so him saying that sounds nice but it’s not realistic. Not that I’d be excited to pay him well into his 30s. I’m resigned to the fact that he will be gone. I just have higher expectations than improbably should for how the Brewers will replace him
  19. Devinep
    Having to be cheap due to the economic situation is still being cheap. And I’m concerned that cheapness (justified or not) means Yoan freaking Moncada or someone one essentially replaces Adames. A lineup with that type of switch still looks ok, until one realizes that lineups validity relies on the health of Yeli, the health/continued production of Mitchell, and improvement from Hoskins. If one or more of those issues pops up, this lineup could look sketchy quick. That’s why I really hope they get one good hitter of the caliber at least near Adames. Lowe, Suarez, Happ, profar, somebody with some pop
  20. Devinep
    I’m worried this is a sign of sad cheapness which will mean a bunch of “meh” to a lineup that needs more hitting, especially with them losing one of their best hitters.”
  21. Devinep
    They would pick up the option even if they were planning on not bringing him back because he’s worth at least something in a trade
  22. Devinep
    Not for Semien, but the Rangers do makes sense as trade partners, possibly for Devin Williams. Josh Smith as a 3B option with Jung there. Maybe Justin Foscue. And Maybe Nate Lowe if the team legitimately feels Yelich can play a lot of LF and Hoskins can DH
  23. Devinep
    The big focus this offseason should be the offense. Especially with losing Adames an ms the health concerns of Yelich, this lineup could start to look pretty weak pretty quick. I think it’s especially important to get one strong middle of the order hitter and another starting-caliber hitter at 2 positions. 2B/3B (preferably 3B with Ortiz going to SS) and 1B/LF so Hoskins and Yelich can DH most days. So basically I’d hope for 1 player each from each group below, with the positions between the 2 having to work out. Personally I’d look to move an OF (Frelick and/or Black) and Devin Williams to possibly get at least one of these bats via trade group A (basically Adames lineup replacement): -Brandon Lowe (1B/DH/ occasional 2B as Sveumrules pointed out to me -Santander (can play some 1B) -Eugenio suarez - Max Muncy -Profar -Ian Happ -Isaac Paredes -Jonah Bride Group B (lineup lengthening/lead off hitter?) -Tyler Black internally as a 1B/LF? -rengifo -Josh Smith -Lamont Wade -Ryan McMahon -Alex Bohm -Jonathan Aranda -Willi Castro -Solano -Jace Jung (if DET signs Bregman)
  24. Devinep
    Right, that’s another reason to trade Frelick for example. He has more value as a starting CF to the Phillies or someone rather than a corner OF/ 4th OF in Milwaukee (who doesn’t provide the bat you’d want for LF/RF). Because you have one of Mitchell/Perkins as your 4th OF if they platoon in CF. Yelich will do some DHing but I am hoping they see the need to get a better bat for 1B/LF. But maybe that’s Black’s role.
  25. Devinep
    All 3 of Mitchell, Frelick, and Perkins derive their greatest value by being able to play CF. Having all 3 on the riser just means you have a relatively weak-hitting corner OF albeit with plus-plus defense. But one of those guys should hold ore value to a teaM in need of CF help than being a backup/corner OF in Milwaukee. That is why I see one being traded. I’d guess Frelick
