    Matt Stafford is kind of the Harold Baines of the NFL. Solid player? Yeah. Some very nice seasons? Yep. Numbers inflated simply due to playing a long time and avoiding injury. Probably.

    The Packers may end up hitting on their first five picks on the 2019 NFL Draft. All have shown flashes of being good football players. Lots can be said about these players but Gary and Savage are starting to look like first rounds talents. Jenkins is a complete stud due to his versatility alone. Sternberger hasn't been given many opportunities but the flashes are there. And Keke is taking a jump in his second year. Plus Hollman is a core special teamer who has shown flashes this year in his time filling in at CB. Summers is a core special teamer as well, although he didn't look good when filling in at ILB. And Dexter Williams is at least still kicking around, although he got hurt in his one game active against the 49ers.

    Agreed. The positive thing is, by all accounts, Stearns has said in interviews several times this fall that he failed to put a competitive offense on the field last summer, and that he is to blame for that. This is a big offseason for him. I admit I was excited by the prospect of the big roster turnover at this time last year, but the results were, for the most part, underwhelming. He's got the same opportunity this year, and while my expectations personally are a bit more tempered, I still have quite a bit of excitement thinking about the different directions he could theoretically go to fill the roster this winter. Last year he grabbed a bunch of older, but established veteran guys looking to rebound. I think he goes in a different direction this year, perhaps skewing younger and with more potential upside in his acquisitions.

    Call it a gut feeling, but I feel like, come Friday, Josh Hader won't be a Brewer any longer. I think there will be tons of moves made this week across MLB.

    His stats away from Coors are just .248/.302/.420/.722. Not sure he'd really qualify as a superstar hitter. Injuries have probably taken a serious toll as well. Still a worthy gamble for some team at a reasonable salary. Stats away from Coors get deflated because players don't adjust on the road when they play half their games in Coors. LeMahieu's last year as a Rockie, he hit just .229/.277/.422 on the road. Right ... people used LeMahieu's road stats as the biggest reason to avoid going after him a few years ago. As it turns out, he would have been a tremendous addition for the Brewers. If you are a talented hitter, you are a talented hitter everywhere. Dahl isn't LeMahieu, but he has the talent to be a perfectly fine starting corner OFer.

    I'd be very happy if they brought Rodon in, as long as he were paired with someone like Anderson. Which Anderson? Brett. I want nothing to do with Chase.

  8. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Yes he did. He is now free to sign with anyone. I'm not sure how much interest the Packers would have in him, though, as the receiver room is quite healthy now with the return of Lazard, Ervin and St. Brown, along with Austin's signing.
  9. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Not only is your glass half empty, it's got a crack on the bottom, and the leaking beer is ruining the coffee table LOL.
  10. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I'm glad he's back because he gives all of us with glorious dad bods an MLB player to live vicariously through.
  11. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Guess we have our Ryon Healy replacement for 2021.
  12. Ron Robinsons Beard
    It has been awhile since they went this route, but it wouldn't surprise me to see them grab a guy in the Rule 5 draft this year. I could see a pitcher, utility IF or 5th OF grabbed. Some of the names I like include OF Will Benson from the Indians, RP Will Kincanon from the White Sox, INF Kevin Maitan from the Angels, RHP Jose Alberto Rivera from the Astros, 3B Joe Rizzo from the Mariners, LHP Thomas Burrows from the Braves, UTL Kevin Kramer from the Pirates, and RHP Riley Pint from the Rockies.
  13. Ron Robinsons Beard
    You are likely correct. Just pointing out that, in a vacuum, the fit makes sense.
  14. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Given how it ended, it probably won't happen, but as far as value and roster fit, a 3B platoon of Travis Shaw and Jedd Gyorko makes a lot of sense. Both of them are also fine at 1B as well, and would come quite cheaply.
  15. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Stats seem to indicate that he can provide some value ... and not just the stats from last season's short Brewers trial. He put up All Star numbers in the first half of the 2019 season, before falling off significantly in the second half. Regarding last year, at least he went up to the plate with an actual plan, which is more than we can say for Yelich and Hiura. At $1.4 million, it would have been stupid for the Brewers not to see if the 70-ish plate appearances he had for them were a fluke.
  16. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Or, they wanted the opportunity to evaluate him at a closer level right now, gave up little to do so, and can cut him in the spring and only pay a few hundred K of his salary if they don't like what they see.... I think this is much more likely the situation. It's nearly identical to what happened with Jimmy Nelson last year ... the only difference in this case is that the Brewers were able to recoup "something" in return other than salary relief. Dodgers played a similar game last year with Blake Treinen, and that ended up working out very well for them. In this case, though, if Knebel works out, they also have him under control in 2022 I believe.
  17. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I think I'd rather just hand the closer's role to Williams and use that money to sign a 3B.
  18. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I mean, yeah, probably. If I remember right, there was some positive buzz about the Smoak signing last year, but there was none with Gyorko. In fact, that move was pretty soundly panned. Which in the end shows what we all know about building a baseball team. At least with Nunez and Franco, there's still some perceived upside there.
  19. Ron Robinsons Beard
    That is assuming that the payroll is capped in the mid-$80s, which is 100% speculation. Somewhat educated speculation, sure ... but speculation nonetheless.
  20. Ron Robinsons Beard
    My thoughts? I need to follow a different team because the Brewers are not interested in being a serious World Series contender. I'm sick and damn tired of this. And don't give me, "the team has made the playoffs three years in a row." 2020 was a joke of a year and the Brewers were in the playoffs due to a cash grab expanded playoffs. And now the team is moving backwards. How long have you been a Brewer fan? Welcome to cheering for a small market club. Ebbs and flows is basically how it works.
  21. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Good for him. He's gonna crush over there. He's still probably young enough to make a triumphant return to the states in a few years, and hit 45 HRs as a DH for the Orioles in 2024.
  22. Ron Robinsons Beard
    No, you don't
  23. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I don't think moving Knebel is going to have any weight on a potential Hader deal. If a team out there decides to meet the high price that Stearns has placed on Hader, he'll likely be gone. Arms like Williams, Yardley and potential like Topa and Rasmussen means the cupboard is far from bare.
  24. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Who's playing SS without Arcia for Milw in 2021? Urias for a full season? Who's the backup? Not sure you have a better FA or player to call up from minors that exceeds what Arcia brings good or bad. Good point. Even in what is likely going to be a down free agent market, they weren't going to be able to go out and sign a SS that provides more production than Arcia for $2 million.
  25. Ron Robinsons Beard
    In theory, the Dodgers could have simply just signed him after the Brewers' likely non-tender. I wonder if there was more than one team interested? Wouldn't it takes two to tango apply here? Kneble would have his choice of teams to sign for. Dodgers stopped that potential in its tracks. Exactly. Rather than compete with other teams, the Dodgers simply agreed to send a little something to the Brewers to secure Knebel's services. I can't imagine the return is going to be significant if its a player. Either a low-level minor leaguer or an organizational depth guy I imagine.
