    This might be an unpopular opinion but I am not willing to pay a high price for any of those guys. Bauer would be cheap and is as good as any of these guys and we can sign him tomorrow. If we refuse to go in that direction and I don't know why we would be when we were in on Aroldis Champman last season then go with what we have or whatever we can get for someone like Wiemer and EBJ. This organization has things going right for now and the future so why trade away really good prospects for short term gains. If Crochet had a longer track record as a starter I would consider a big offer for him but he has only been a starter this season so I definitely would not pay what it will cost to get him.

    I disagree with this soul of the team talk. All this angst over the Hader trade but lets face it we did fantastic considering we flipped Ruiz for Contreras. If these players are too mentally weak to handle an Adames departure they are not a championship team anyway. Yes keep Adames if their isn't a great offer available but if we are offered controllable starting ptching that we like Willy should go.
  3. brewers888
    To complete shut off any possible Adames trade is shortsighted and flat out stupid. If a team such as the Dodgers gets desperate and is willing to trade us young controllable starting pitching we would be crazy to not to a deal. Adames is definitely not going to be here next year so if we are offered the right deal we should take it.

    The Brewers are averaging the least innings per start of any team in baseball. There is a good chance that at some point the bullpen is going to be fried from throwing 4 plus innings on a nearly nightly basis. Sure the bullpen is a major strength but you have to question if it can remain that way when they are throwing so many innings.

    Its nice to get that win but Murphy should take some heat for not letting Myers pitch another inning or two. We have the least innings per start of any team in baseball and had a guy rolling through 6 innings with a low pitch count. If that is not the time to try and get 7 or even 8 innings out of a starter I don't know what is.

    I doubt there is anything this team can do that would give them a real chance to beat two of Atl/Phi/LAD which is most likely the road they will have to go through to reach the world series. Last offseason was the time to try and get someone like Flaherty on a one year deal. This team isn't good enough to pillage the farm system for short term gains and with our limited payroll it really is never smart to do that which can really damage the future of the franchise.

    Exactly why you want to win today.
  8. brewers888
    He gets squeezed and it costs us 2 runs.
  9. brewers888
    You tend to get squeezed when you have trouble throwing strikes.
  10. brewers888
    Freddy was an ideal 3 behind Woodruff and Burnes but just not good enough to be a 1 on a contending team.
  11. brewers888
    I'd like to win this game so we should just yank him.
  12. brewers888
    I think paying a high price for Fedde or any other bottom of the rotation guy is just a stupid idea. We have to be realistic and see that to make it to the World Series we are going to have to beat two of Atlanta/Philadelphia/LAD and a guy like Fedde certainly does little to improve those already long odds.
  13. brewers888
    No no no to the thought of trading for Robert unless the cost is ridiculously low like Wiemer and Meyers or something laughable like that.
  14. brewers888
    The way Murphy is handling this kid is disgusting. He needs to play nearly every day either here or in AAA but this mostly platoon situation is total garbage.
  15. brewers888
    The team did nothing of substance to improve the rotation before the season and its why we have Freddy who is very good but inconsistent and a bunch of guys who projected to be 5th starter types. Relying on Wade Miley who was unlikely to pitch more than 120 innings or so best case scenario and Jakob Junis who hasn't pitched 150 innings in 5 years was unwise to say the least. Arnold had to have an idea that Burnes was going to be traded which was the right idea but he had no real plan to fill in the rotation adequately after Freddy. Relying on Miley, Junis, Ross who hasn't pitched in a few years and DL Hall who has been a reliever was poor planning. Still with all this said I see no reason to pay a high price for a short term starter when the chances of this team beating two of Atlanta, Philadelphia, and LA is very low.
  16. brewers888
    Winning the series should always be the goal but you really want to sweep a team likely to lose 110 plus games.
  17. brewers888
    He is not a number two on most playoff caliber teams. I still like Freddy but I liked him better when we had two better starters. Having him as our unquestioned ace with the rest of the rotation being 4s and 5s is not a great situation.
  18. brewers888
    Freddy is a good pitcher but when its him and four bottom of the rotation arms we need him to be better.
  19. brewers888
    Just shows how lucky we were to have a top three of Burnes-Woodruff-Freddy. Its a shame we did nothing to improve the lineup when we had a great rotation.
  20. brewers888
    If its against the Phillies thats one thing but the last thing this team needs is a short start with the best team in the league next up.
  21. brewers888
    Junis? That was a signing I was not in favor of.
  22. brewers888
    I'd feel a lot better if this team had at least signed an innings eater like Lorenzen. These short starts nearly every day are going to come back to bite us.
  23. brewers888
    You've got to be able to give the team 7 solid innings against this lineup. With the pitch count this high we will be lucky to get 3.
  24. brewers888
    How is this bullpen going to up all season pitching this many innings.
  25. brewers888
    Its hard to sustain success with one starting pitcher with above average stuff and everyone else being bottom of the rotation guys. The concern has to be how this bullpen will hold up consistently pitching 4 plus innings nightly.
