Um, no. He's 22.
-
There are articles claiming that? I don't think his role has been determined yet. I imagine they will exhaust every avenue to make him a starter before moving forward with him as a reliever. Value-wise that makes the most sense.

McMahon is a mediocre 30-year-old 3B with a large contract playing for a team that isn't going anywhere. Those types typically don't demand a big return. My guess is the Brewers could get him by flipping the Rockies a couple of lotto ticket-types if they agreed to take on the majority of McMahon's contract. They will need to give up more if they expect the Rockies to eat a chunk. -
Name Yer Brewer, Episode 2
Ron Robinsons Beard replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Only player I can remember who rocked the full arm sleeve/cut off sleeve combo is Domingo. He showed so much promise early on, but once opposing teams figured him out, he just couldn't adjust. -
"Breakaway" is a yo-yo trick. How about that one?
-
I can tell you right now that this board would very quickly grow weary of DeJong's huge K% and inability to get on base. Yes, he hits dingers at a pretty solid rate, especially for a middle infielder. But I think it is pretty obvious at this point that the design of this roster is keyed not only on run prevention defensively, but also on speed and getting on base, two aspects of DeJong's game that are pretty non-existent at this point in his career.

As usual, you are completely failing to see any of the context. Heck, I don't even really disagree with bigred on this particular thread. You of all people should know that when you put contrarian-type overtly negative opinions out there, then get defensive and accusatory (along with playing the victim card) when called on them, it isn't going to go over well with the majority of posters,
-
Literally NO ONE has acted in that manner.

I think I likely speak for most everyone here when I say I'm getting a tad sick of this holier than thou victim card schtick you keep pulling out. You throw negative take after negative take out there, or just keep on banging the same negative take drum, and you get offended when called on it. When you go to a site named "BrewerFanatic" and continuously rip on the team, you need to expect there is going to be pushback. And when you push back on that, it's going to come back at you even harder, especially when you don't bring really any specific ideas to the table on how you would accomplish what you'd like to see done. Instead you tend to try to tear down anyone who has any shred of optimism toward this team. I am not telling you how to fan. That's certainly not my place. And as I've pointed out, I totally understand the frustration with what the team has done this offseason. But beating on the same idea in thread after thread is getting old.

Right. Improving the lineup doesn't always mean "eye for an eye"
-
-
Well, they'll also get a premium pick in the 2025 draft as compensation for losing Adames I guess, but I totally get your point.
-
C-, and that's probably being generous. It was a pretty boring offseason, even by Brewers standards. But I have learned over the years to expect that this team will likely find 1-2 good starters out of the scrap heap signings, and I want to believe that they must see something in Oliver Dunn or Caleb Durbin in order to feel comfortable going into the season with those guys playing big roles. No reason not to believe that the pen won't continue to be a strength, especially considering they were pretty lights-out last season when Williams missed a large chunk of the year. At this point, this front office has earned the benefit of the doubt if the goal is building a team that will contend for a division title. The real question is whether they have the horses to go beyond that.

Yelich might not be ready for opening day?
Ron Robinsons Beard replied to TURBO's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Oh, I am one of the biggest optimists around this site. But when it comes to Yelich in particular, I try to be very careful with my positivity LOL. -
What I saw was you using Counsell's exit as yet another opportunity to "hate" on the team's front office and ownership ... which kinda brings this conversation full circle.
-
The Search function on the site is actually quite easy to use.
-
You predicted an 82-win season last year
-
Bingo! There were many around here lamenting the Brewers' chances of competing last year in a "much improved" NL Central as well. Of course, we all know how that turned out. The Brewers took the division in a convincing fashion.

Yelich might not be ready for opening day?
Ron Robinsons Beard replied to TURBO's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I guess the doom and gloomer in me kind of expected news like this to come out. The surgery Yelich had has a very good success rate, but it also has a pretty serious recovery time for a normal person, much less a professional athlete. Add in the idea that Yelich has never really been known to be a fast healer, it makes some sense. Here's hoping that we see him on the field before May. -
As a top prospect, Boeve will get action in big league games in Spring Training. He just isn't in the official big league camp.
-
Pretty much all that is left on the FA 3B market are guys like Ty France, Patrick Wisdom, Joey Gallo, Brian Anderson, Aledmys Diaz, Nick Ahmed, and Jace Peterson. Basically guys in their early to mid-30s, who have played 3B in the past but aren't exactly great out there, and are looking at minor league deals.
-
Ah yes, we've reached the "pissed because my team didn't sign a guy who has been bad since 2019" part of the offseason. That's like #5 on the 7 stages of grief.
-
PECOTA NEVER likes the Brewers' chances. That said, I get it. Adames left as a free agent, and they dealt the best reliever in MLB for a decent #3-4ish starter and a prospect. They have yet to make any significant upgrades to the team.
