Buehler? Ya, that guy. I should start using blue more often. Before it’s mentioned, I understand he’s not a throw in. No worries. I just thought there was a different prospect I hadn't thought of. Having said that, I agree with you that Buehler would be a nice get. I'd think pitching would be the priority.

Buehler?
-
Inconceivable!
-
Michael? Darn, you caught it first.

Michael?

On pace to OPS .000 with 162 RBI Now that is the best bit of perspective I've seen all night.
-
Professional hitter?

Wow, bad throw by Spongeburger

Davies is our #2, just set for him to pitch home opener It doesn't really matter. Chacin has to pitch well if this team is going to compete. He didn't do that tonight. Hopefully he will in the future.
-
That may well be true but the game thread is about the game and he hasn't been good tonight.

You mean like this one?

Just wow

Brewers sign Left-Handed RP Dan Jennings
82brewcrew82 replied to Brewer Fever's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I threw up a little in my mouth before typing this but I agree. I think Drake is pretty marginal but I'd take him over Jennings. I'm underwhelmed. -
We're going with the name 'Woody', we're sure? Maybe Ruffy would be better?
-
LOL, I'm telling you we are putting the baseball world on it's ear. Wait until Voght gets back and we four 1B and three C.
-
Good point.
-
Incredibly interesting. My guess is they are trying to sign someone like Daniel Hudson or Dan Jennings. That quote made it seem more like a trade. A guy who just got released really wouldn't need "traction" would they? This sounds like a longer play than waiver wire fodder.

Incredibly interesting.

Incredibly disappointing.

Waiting to inevitably sign Daniel Hudson after he was released today. Only half kidding... I think. Didn't the Brewers have a deal in place for him a while back? And then went another direction? I feel like his name was attached to a trade rumor on this site, maybe Fielder?

How can you question the contract and simultaneously say there's no way he could possibly be traded? That's a contradiction. If it was not in the team's best interest to sign him, then it is in their best interest to trade him. The signing was a borderline good move to begin with, and if the Brewers falter this year, signing Cain starts to look like a mistake. There's just no need to be stubborn about it. Fixing a mistake is a good thing. Refusing to admit one is not. Huh? I'm not a huge fan of the signing but it already happened. How to deal with him now that he has signed is another issue entirely. That isn't a contradiction. I never said there was no way he could possibly be traded. I just said it was incredibly dumb, shortsighted and highly unlikely. I'm not ever going to see the logic in your argument so have your last word and his will be over.

The analytics movement has been going on for years. It hasn't changed the calculus on this subject one iota. Not every tradition is incorrect. Yeah, that tired argument about "why wouldn't he want to go to a contender" gets asked every year. Why would a guy sign a five year deal with a marginal team if he wanted to ensure he was playing for a contender. Condescension aside, the point was that jobber organizations pull jobber moves by trading away players one year into a LTC. At the end of the day the Cain contract is more of the same. Paying a guy for what he did in the past while full well knowing you are going to be paying negative value by the end of the deal. Business as usual. Huh? The circumstances under which he was singed are in the past, they don't change based on future results. Further, I'm sure both Cain and the Brewers FO are well aware of the possible outcomes for the season and said contract was singed with that full knowledge. If Cain performs then it was a good signing, if he doesn't then its not a good signing. The overall team performance is not going to determine whether it was a good sign or not. Bottom line, even through I am not a huge supporter of the signing given how things played out, Cain isn't going anywhere after this year and he shouldn't.

I can't wait until Voght comes back and we have three catchers on the roster.

Braun to Start at 1B vs Lefties
82brewcrew82 replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
We'd still have Broxton and Phillips for depth, which is still pretty excellent. I'm not sure of many teams that would have those two guys forced into AAA the way we do. Depends on what the alternative is. If Santana would net us a TOR arm I'd live with Yelich in right.
