    I want Collins mainly due to the under slot value we'd get from him. Think we'd be able to nab a potential front line starter with our 2nd.
  2. beekay414
    I'm fine with any one of Rutherford, Pint, Groome, Perez or even Zack Collins. Reason being on Collins is because he'd probably save us a ton of money from the #5 slot and would allow us another impact draft pick in the 2nd. Either route we take, I'm fine with.

    Is it not a problem if you need to find ways to get around it? Cause that sounds like a problem. The better question is how big of a problem? I'd lean towards more of a small hurdle to get over, but then again I don't know the details. How much are the Brewers willing to eat? Anything less than the $18m and you may have a bigger problem. What do other teams demand to be paid by the Brewers? Any more than the $18mil and you likely have a big issue. The biggest issue when it come to the NTC is probably going to be money related too. I am not really concerned about him blocking a trade with it, but using it to demand his option being picked up. Suddenly more money has been added to the equation. Does that alter the return or how much the Brewers must pay? Because, in the grand scheme of how baseball operates, the contract isn't a problem. Eating money in deals is extremely common. Cash considerations are traded all the time as well. You're grasping at the literal definition of problem as a way to try and be "right." Either way, we can move on from this now.

    Agree with you about the NTC. It's definitely a bigger hindrance than the contract.
  5. beekay414
    I know what the writers are referring too. I'm explaining to you why they aren't entirely correct. There's a multitude of ways to get around contracts so saying it's a problem isn't entirely accurate.

    Not taking it for granted. Just considering the fact that we've already got a 10 year plan to pay him $18 Million already, it doesn't really affect much because we're going to pay him that regardless. So, we'd basically only be eating around $10 Million which isn't much. I mean, the Padres just ate $28 Million of James Shield's salary and their payroll is almost $27 Million higher than ours. We have the lowest payroll in the league right now. Don't really think eating his remaining $$$ for 2016 and the deferred money is a problem. It's a little less than $13 Million if we traded him now or less than $10 Million if we trade him at the deadline and obviously, if we waited til the offseason, we'd only eat the deferred money. $10-13 Million this year (if we deal him in season) and $1.8 Million a year from 2022-2031 isn't really much to eat in the grand scheme of how deals work.

    Considering the deferred money will be paid in installments from 2022 to 2031 anyways and they're not paying anyone else much money (nor would they be paying anyone much money replacing him in LF should we trade him), it's not a problem eating any of what I proposed. I mean, you could pay Ryan Braun less than $20 Million a year during a time where he's still an elite bat or you could sign Josh Reddick for a similar price this offseason. Or you could pay a 36 year old Jose Bautista even more. There are no bats on the market as good as Braun or as affordable as him both during the season (trade deadline) or offseason. Sorry but the contract isn't a problem. When guys like Mike Leake and Jeff Samardzija are making $16 Million, Braun's contract is chump change in comparison.

    Must be a miracle coming from that douche nozzle. He did say it would be hard for us to trade him with his contract though, which I don't really buy for a second. I buy it. If the Brewers want good prospects it could very well could make a trade hard. Not really. Just eat the deferred money and the rest of this year's salary and the contract is more along the lines of 4 years/$58 Million with a $4 Million buy out on the 5th year which is far from a problem for his level of bat. I have no problem eating the $18 Million in deferred money and the additional (roughly) $13 Million this year (as of today - by the deadline it'll be well under $10 million) if it means the return brings us back more quality prospects. We can eat that money no problem with how low the payroll on the club is right now.

    Luc to Boston for Benintendi and/or Devers, Swihart and a flier like Roniel Raudes or Kevin Steen Luc to Tampa Bay for Honeywell, Adames and Faria or a flier like Kevin Padlo or Jose Mujica
  10. beekay414
    Nimmo is not a flier type player. He is a legit prospect...and a pretty good one at that. Offer was actually made to me, on a different forum, by a Mets fan. Same Mets fan that is incredibly frugal when it comes to their prospects. He made an offer of Dom Smith, Matt Reynolds and Victor Cruzado for Ryan Braun and Aaron Hill just to give you an idea on how frugal he is. Also, a caveat here, that's if they strike out on better options. Guys like Solarte and Valencia.
  11. beekay414
    Hill and a flier for Nimmo
  12. beekay414
    Stearns has been awesome so far tbh Chris Carter, Jonathan Villar, Junior Guerra, Kirk Nieuwenhuis for basically nothing while also landing a productive 3B, an innings eater with tons of team control and a very good 2B/SS prospect for Jean Segura and $6 Million. That's 4.5 fWAR for basically nothing at all. The track record is short but the guy knows what he's doing. Can't wait for the haul he brings in for Luc and, perhaps, Braun. Plus, the draft should be really damn interesting and filled with a ton of potential considering we have a 3 headed monster with Stearns, Montgomery and Arnold all putting forth efforts there. Montgomery and Arnold are more than enough for me to have faith in drafting. The outlook of this team is really bright IMO
  13. beekay414
    The Lind return isn't anywhere near as bad as it's been made out to be. Freddy Peralta is a very intriguing lotto ticket type arm and you're not getting more for a one year 1B/DH rental that can't hit lefties...
  14. beekay414
    The knock on him has always been "can he hit for power" and he's proving that he can with his senior season. Before this year, it's always been just plus raw power, we never actually saw it on the field. Rumor going around is that he's already gained 15 lbs of good muscle and it's translating with the bat so imagine what could be added in a professional S&T environment. He's incredibly flexible in the field too. Can play SS (for now until he outgrows it) or move to 3B/2B depending on what you need in the system (with Diaz in the system, you'd think we'd keep him at 3B). He's got the arm for 3B, no question (throws in the low 90s as a pitcher). He's never going to win a gold glove but he's not a liability either. I'd have no qualms with him being the pick at #5 should Perez, Pint and Groome all be gone. Same goes for Moniak.
  15. beekay414
    Groome's going 1-1 pretty easily if you ask me. I'm hoping we are sending multiple people down to Puerto Rico to watch Delvin Perez closely. That's who I'm targeting at 1-5. Otherwise, I'm looking long and hard at Nolan Jones. That's, of course, if we continue down the high school path with our first round pick. Unfortunately, I think Groome and Pint are both gone at 1-1 and 1-2 and almost all the best bats in this class are outfielders which we already have a glut of. I have no problem taking the talent no matter the position but if Perez and Jones show you ANYTHING that says they'll click, you take one of them. Ceiling is sky high on Perez if he hits. Jones just needs to add power this Spring to become an elite prospect IMO. Both are toolsheds.
  16. beekay414
    Yes, he has 5 years of control left but I'm still not sending out a legitimate piece for him. I'd give up someone like Taylor or Reed considering their current need for OF depth as they want to keep Zimmer and Frazier down for as long as possible.
  17. beekay414
    He'd be more likely the 2nd or 3rd piece, not the center piece. He's 23, has a history of arm issues and has 100 innings of full season ball experience. No chance we'd move Luc for a potential middle of the rotation pitcher with that little experience and glaring health issues as a headliner. None. Maybe next year when there's only 1 year of control left but no shot with the current situation.
  18. beekay414
    We should make a play for Lourdes.
  19. beekay414
    Braves are in on him as well. I know that for a fact. I honestly don't see us spending big $$$ on one international player like we did Lara. I think our signings will look a lot like last year.
  20. beekay414
    That's, uh, pretty awful. I don't get the infatuation with trying to fill roster holes with the Luc trade. You get the best talent you can. You don't worry about 3B and 1B in the return.
  21. beekay414
    We aren't getting Giolito for Luc. It's that simple. My offer would be something like Luc and Smith for Ramos, Robles, Fedde, Voth and Franco
  22. beekay414
    Segura and Wagner aren't really losses at all in my book. Segura is replacement level and isn't really that great of a defender (definitely not good enough to move Nick Ahmed off of SS like Stewart is planning...stupid). Wagner is, at best, Chase Anderson. Isan Diaz is the prize here. Kid has tremendous potential. Hill is a stopgap 3B option and Anderson is an innings eater with some upside and a ton of team control left despite his age. This is an A+ trade without a doubt. Stearns continues to work his magic.
  23. beekay414
    I target Victor Robles in any trade from Washington. His ceiling is sky high. Don't really know the full package we could pull but Robles would definitely be a must in all talks.
