    Dinelson Lamet > Jason Alexander > Trevor Kelley. I suppose it's water under the bridge at this point, but golly they could sure use Lamet as that long-man right now.

    Really? He's sure doing a terrible job then with 3 regulars at. 300 or less, and six more hitters at .326 or below. To be sure, this year's Brewers were built to rely on pitching, fundamentals and three run homers. What I believe you meant to say is, Stearns is likely to remodel the team into one that focuses on OBP and contact. Which is very likely true.

    At 25 years old, and that he’s seen time in 5 consecutive seasons, Urias in 2022 is likely at or near his ceiling. He’s an okay player and likely will stick at 3B until they find someone better but given the wealth of middle infielders the Brewers have drafted lately Urias could also be trade material.

    First of all, the Brewers have access to the doctors treating Yelich and his medical records, fans don't. Second, the Brewers have access to Yelich in the off-season and could observe how he looks in whatever rehabilitation he had to do, running, hitting, etc., fans don't. Third, the Brewers coaching staff, doctors, and front office personnel saw him in spring training before he signed the extension, I think its logical to believe they were confident in Yelich's long-term health when he signed his extension and with nearly two hundred million dollars of the owner's money at stake, were simply not taking a guess that he'd be fully recovered from a knee cap fracture. As to any complaints about the timing of the extension given Yelich had years remaining on his contract when the extension was signed, keep in mind it takes two to tango. For all we know as fans, Yelich told the Brewers "it's now or never" on a contract extension. Who knows? I can tell you if Yelich had continued to crush as a Brewer and walked as a free agent, there would be a percentage of fans calling the GM an idiot for letting him walk that is equal to the percentage that are critical of the extension. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

    My recollection is that Jaha was hurt all the time. Then, much like Cal Eldred, immediately after going to a new team he stayed healthy and was terrific, until injuries got him again.

    I guess it depends what you want. If it’s homers and not much else, than Taylor’s your guy. They’re in first place so it’s hard to argue against success. But if the team has a weakness offensively it is when they fail to Homer they typically don’t score often. Therefore more all-around hitters probably make the roster better. More importantly, the Brewers are thin in CF, with a journeyman veteran currently splitting time. If the goal is to add as much talent and depth to the roster in a playoff push. Laureano makes a lot of sense and that he’s not an impending free agent makes the cost more justifiable.

    Bell is the best rental hitter available. In a perfect world they’d also get a CF, Tyrone Taylor is just a guy, He cranks just enough homers to make you forget he’s hitting .230

    I get it; you’re okay wasting generational pitching talent while hoping some minor leaguers develop two to three years from now. I trust the front office isn’t going to mortgage their future to win now; it hasn’t been their M.O. but I hope they bring on as much talent as they can this year and Laureano is without doubt better than anyone the Brewers have lined up in CF this year.

    I guess, I’d like to see them finish first in a winnable NL Central this year, but lack of offensive production from CF is a problem and Acuna and Judge aren’t available. Sometimes a team has to seize and opportunity

    Laureano is a plus defender, plays CF, isn’t a total chump with the bat, and he’s under team control for two more years. It’s better than shopping for a bargain basement band aid again this off season and a clear upgrade over Tyrone Taylor and Jonathan Davis. What’s not to like? Man, sometimes I think posters here would spit on the Brewers acquiring anyone short of Ohtani or Trout, and even if they got those two guys they’d still grumble that it cost Turang, Frelick and Hiura.

    This isn't the first time you've denigrated Josh Bell, but you can't have it both ways. Sure Benintendi is a better defender than Josh Bell, but its not even a comparison as to which is the better hitter. This year alone Bell's OPS in 90 points higher than Benintendi's. You can also argue Bell is the more patient hitter with a .387 OBP and a batting average of .302, while Benintendi's OBP is also .387 but with a .320 batting average. Bell's career OBP is .353 to Benintendi's .352. As for being "streaky," players are going to have good months and bad months, For example, Benintendi's OPS was .664 in June. Josh Bell wasn't alone in having a down year during the covid ball season, but pretty much has been the model of consistency year in year out his entire career. I have no idea if Josh Bell will wind up with the Brewers or not, but as I've posted before every contender in the league can find at bats for an .877 OPS hitter.

    Damn, those are a lot of holes! Yet they’ve been in first place almost since day one…. As for Bell, every lineup in the league can use a guy with an .850+ OPS. Let’s not have any of this “not a good fit” nonsense.

    Right, Jorge Lopez is definitely breaking out this year, but it's been 4 seasons since the Brewers traded him, he's now 29 and went to Baltimore from KC in 2020 on a waiver claim. With two years of team control left after '22, I don't think Baltimore is actively shopping him.
