    "No way" - That's ridiculous. You don't know that. Based on what the Cubs got, I have a hard time believing your assumption. Ray and Ortiz are not that far off from Jimenez and Cease (not to mention closer to the majors). I think the Brewers almost certainly could have added in a couple of pieces to make that deal work.

    I went to a game a couple weeks ago, and Rafael Neda was calling him "Kes".

    Not sure how Ed Sedar would have much effect on getting a runner home from 3rd base with less than 2 outs. A runner's actions at 3rd base on a ground ball with less than 2 outs is generally going to be predetermined by the manager or based on team philosophy. I suppose he could have some influence on tagging up on fly balls, but even then the individual player is probably going to make the call on whether they think they can make it or not. Same goes with scoring on a wild pitch or passed ball, the runner has to make a split decision on his own.

    You act as though Stearns is the only person involved in making these decisions. There are several individuals involved in these decisions (including front office, scouts, coaches, etc.), and "if" Stearns doesn't know a whole about pitching, there are certainly members of the organization that do.

    Thanks for sharing. It was an interesting read, identifying a couple of Brewers' youngsters that have potential to break out. In my opinion, that's one thing that could propel the Brewers to an overachieving season... a couple of players like Santana or Broxton having breakout seasons.

    Sounds like something Joe Morgan would have said as a commentator about Moneyball! Seriously though, Fangraphs is a great tool. Lots of info and knowledge to take from it. Obviously you have to take every piece of analysis with a grain of salt. Baseball reference is another, traditional scouting, they're all important IMO. I'm always open to hearing anything that can help me learn more about the game, even if I don't agree with it. I agree with some of the previous posters that a lot of these projections seem more like floors. I agree with you on taking an eclectic approach to player evaluation. The more info. you can draw from a wide range of reliable sources, the better you're analysis and projections should be in the end. I simply take issue with a projection system that seems to be extremely conservative when it comes to players with limited data to draw on. In my opinion, such a projection system has very little utility. Based on this, it would seem inexperienced players will rarely project well. I would find more value in a projection system that would occasionally project someone such as a Keon Broxton to break out. It appears as though FanGraphs projects no young Brewers' players to show significant improvement. I'll admit, I'm a relative newbie to sabermetrics, so maybe I'm just ignorant to the methodology behind such projection systems. I still maintain a strong nostalgic feeling for stats on the back of baseball cards, dating back to my childhood, but I am open to learning.

    I think the biggest takeaway I got from this thread, is to steer away from FanGraphs.

    Actually that isn't too farfetched. I believe he has stated he prefers to live in Milwaukee and/or California. It's not the least likely...but pretty far fetched. I guess I was considering it from Braun's perspective, but when you think about it from the Cubs' perspective, I see very little reason for the Cubs to make a move for Braun. You would think Schwarber has to be their everyday LF, not to mention Zobrist is going to get regular playing time (some in LF).

    I doubt very much that Braun would approve a trade to Toronto based on his list of approved teams. My rough estimates would put Braun's team in 2017 as follows: Brewers 50% Dodgers 35% Giants 10% Other team 5%
