    In fact, Urias had a 70 hit tool on MLB pipeline! I think people are greatly underrating him based on a rocky first few months in his MLB career. The kid will rake.

    You mean just one year after our window with the NL MVP closes? Would you look at that. Seems perfect. Edit - I know Stearns is trying to build an annual contender so he won't be looking at "windows." But still seems like an elite defending, middle of the order bat at our only lacking position would be worth taking a chance on.

    Don't hold your breath.

    "I dislike this guy so our GM is doing a terrible job" You sound like a six year old.

    This is not true. He's due in the majors this season and looks to be an absolute immediate impact. Obviously that's speculation, but its the consensus.
  6. mattyo
    There is literally no rumor in that article. It's just one guy speculating about what a trade would look like. That website has had a lot of really poorly written articles this offseason

    I'll speak up here as one of the prominent advocates for making McNeil the centerpiece of the deal. One of the reasons I like McNeil is the fact that he has racked up pretty good numbers in Citi Field, a park that has been even more friendly to pitchers than Marlins Park. If he simply continues those numbers, he is a huge asset to the Brewers. He locks down third base. Given the park factors involved (and I have posted the comparisons before), I think it is very possible for McNeil's offense to take a level up, just as Christian Yelich's did when he arrived. He's cheap for at least one more year, possibly two. He has five years of control. He can play third base, and he already posts very good offensive numbers. In the NL Central, he's an upgrade at third over Moose. He makes Healy the backup at 1B and 3B. The Brewers could do much worse than McNeil. "Could do much worse than X" is not exactly the best selling point when considering whether to trade your elite, cost controlled pitcher.

    Second signing in a row that has made me chuckle
  9. mattyo
    I actually laughed out loud when I saw this

    JD Davis also cannot play defense. No way am I trading Hader for Davis alone. Not a chance.
  11. mattyo
    Would love to target those two dodgers. Unfortunately, we are not getting them for even close to that trade, even with taking on their salaries. Switch out Erceg for Turang and you've got a start.

    I think youre looking for Narvaez at catcher. Also, there is about a 0% chance Arcia starts at SS over Urias. Urias in his very short stint in the MLB did not hit very well, but still hit much better than Arcia. Sure there is a possibility that Urias turns out to be unplayable at SS due to defense (though scouts didnt believe his D to be that poor), but if that happens, we are in trouble.

    Count me as someone who has generally liked the moves they have made so far, especially Urias/Lauer, Narvaez and Anderson. What pains me is the fact that we easily have enough money to spend on an elite bat/D guy like Donaldson that for me, could really push this team over the top, and we know it won't happen. It's how Stearns operates, and that's certainly not a bad thing. Its just, especially with a guy like Donaldson who is rumored to be open to a contract that lines up perfectly with our window, and fills a hole we desperately need with elite production, I wish they would take the risk.
  14. mattyo
    Also a factor, albeit a small one, to consider when judging his viability as a player past age 35
  15. mattyo
    Yep, not happening. Might as well shut this thread down now.
  16. mattyo
    I would be absolutely shocked if we signed Donaldson (or Ryu for that matter), but this just. makes. sense. Sign Donaldson, and we are at a similar, if not lower payroll than last year. We've already essentially filled our pen and rotation. It's the last hole left, considering Braun will likely play a number of games at 1B. Re-sign Thames or similar product to platoon at 1b and we are set. Not to mention his defense is still top tier. God we sorely need that with our current infield... I hate talking myself into things.
  17. mattyo
    This is true, and all well and good, but I'm not going to tout this as a positive if we don't turn around and invest that money into some more higher quality FA signings. Not saying they have to, not even saying they will (they probably won't).

    Jon Heyman @JonHeyman Avisail Garcia turned down 3 year deals with Brewers and elsewhere due to the expiring basic agreement in 2 years and the chance to raise the AAV afterward. Betting on himself #brewers
  19. mattyo
    Assuming the AAV is a bit higher because it's only two years. Dont hate the deal, don't love it, but trust Stearns knows best.
  20. mattyo
    If Haudricout, of all people, is saying "its looking like they will" sign Avisail - I'd say this is about as good as done. Tom is essentially the team's mouthpiece.
  21. mattyo
    Dear god, Yankees fans are absolutely insufferable. Do not read the replies to that tweet.
  22. mattyo
    The Yankees aren't giving up value for Hader to improve their MLB team if in return they have to give up a main piece of that MLB team. Thus the moaning in here about lack of a match with the Yankees. They are not a good trade partner for us.
  23. mattyo
    "Hey those dumb Brewers sure need a first basemen. Say, why don't they take this below average first basemen who's owed $35 mil over two years from a large market team? They should be jumping at the chance!" Yeah, kick rocks.
  24. mattyo
    He's at worst an average defender. He probably has the speed to play a passable CF but would only play there in a pinch.
  25. mattyo
    Yes, Castellanos bat would be great for this lineup, but I can't help thinking of those Brewers + Rendon rumors we heard a day or two ago. Perhaps DS has a surprise left in him. Donaldson could very well be that middle of the order bat, and he just so happens to play very solid defense as well.
