As do every team's. Sure, you can make shrewd moves to increase your chances, but in the end, it still takes hitting the postseason at the right time and the ball bouncing your way more often than not. Well, except maybe for that super team they've manufactured in L.A.

Padres on the Market
Ron Robinsons Beard replied to jay87shot's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Getting hits is good. But when Arraez gets on, he is basically a base clogger, which isn't so good. His game isn't really a great fit for the Brewers' current offensive philosophy, which I see as tremendous speed on the basepaths, getting guys in scoring position, and manufacturing runs ... and, of course, hitting an occasional dinger. -
Correct, the Garza deal turned out pretty horrible after his solid 2014 season. Therein lies the risk of those types of deals, though. They can turn out poorly, and the Brewers are not in the financial position to simply write them off, unfortunately. The bigger the move, the bigger the calculated risk. The Brewers' front office has proven very calculating in their gambles. Which often leads to frequently boring offseasons, unfortunately.

I may have gotten a little out of line, and if you were offended by anything personal I posted, I apologize. However, I don't believe it is out of line for anyone to ask you to back up your takes with specifics, especially considering the ways you have presented them.

If you honestly believe that is the reason why you got two "thumbs down" on that comment, I have a bridge to sell you 🤣 Look, I get it. I will honestly say that I am getting frustrated that we've reached the end of January, and a team who most everyone expects to be the favorite to once again win their division has only made one significant move, and that was SUBTRACTING their All-World closer. While the roster appears pretty well put together, there are certainly still some holes that could be upgraded, most significantly 3B. I'm intrigued by the kid they got back in the Williams deal, but handing him the 3B job without any better plan is the type of move a bottom-dweller makes, not a team with World Series aspirations. There are also plenty of guys out there that would be a rotation upgrade. I expect some significant moves in the next few weeks, and if nothing happens, I will truly be disappointed/mad.

Also picked up Civale for Gregory Barrios, who was just outside the Top 20 at the time. They got Nick Mears for Bradley Blalock, who is a top 20 type. Mark Canha for Justin Jarvis in 2023. And of course, Estuary Ruiz for Contreras. So these types of deals do happen. Pretty often actually.
-
OK ... considering how long teenage prospect take to hit the majors, go back, say, 6 years or so and look at the Brewers' top 20. By my count, 14 of the 20 played in the majors, Go back to 2016, and its 13. Go back to 2014, and its 17. Granted, not all of those players have had long MLB careers, but a good portion of them have. To answer your question about "how many SS and CF prospects do we really need?", that answer is a lot, as the players who play those positions are typically the best athletes, which makes them more versatile and makes it substantially easier to change positions later on. That, sir, is not a new conept.
-
Simple, right? I mean, all those trades are accepted when I play MLB The Show! How is real life any different?
-
Most of? I don't know if that is necessarily correct. You speak with a lot of "certainties". So how about this ... put some specifics out there. Which of our top 20 prospects would you deal? And for whom?
-
Could Attanasio spend more on payroll and improve the team? I think there is no denying that answer is yes. But looking at other ownership situations in MLB makes me think that Brewer fans actually have it pretty good. Anyone who lived through the 70s or that roughly 1984-2005ish era lived through much, much worse. When you consider that, watching this team be run well and regularly make the playoffs is pretty dang awesome.

2025 Defensive Alignment
Ron Robinsons Beard replied to Brewcrew82's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
There is no denying Mitchell's defensive chops. He's an absolute stud out there. Staying healthy is the key. Don't forget about Perkins, either. He's another elite defender. -
LOL ... sure Bub.
-
You aren't the only one. This is dumb. And the response is condescending.
-
So ... if I'm reading this correctly, you want the Brewers to only trade the prospects who are likely to "fizzle out" for proven MLB studs, who likely come with a high price tag? Sounds easy enough. MLB teams are typically lining up to participate in those types of deals. Seems like a good plan! What are they waiting for???
-
This is the first time I've heard that. Thank you for posting it. Yes, he knew. You can hear the hurt in his voice. Just one of the many great sidekicks that Ueck has had over the years.
-
An incredible man who had an unbelievable impact on not only this franchise but the game as a whole. We all knew in the back of our minds that this day was coming, but that never stopped us from hoping Ueck would live forever. I truly feel like a piece of my childhood is gone.
-
If he is a regular in that lineup, I don't have much doubt that he'll hit 30+ HRs. But also struggle to bat .200 and threaten Mark Reynolds' single-season K record.
-
Obviously it's impossible to determine whether he is an upgrade over Durbin until we actually see Durbin at the ML level. I think I'd rather roll with the youngsters in that role than go with someone like Iglesias. Maybe trade for someone like him at the deadline if they need a steadying influence down the stretch.

2024-25 Offseason Ideas
Ron Robinsons Beard replied to jay87shot's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
But a ton of speed, which seems to be the direction they are trying to head as an offense. I would expect Chourio to make a jump in the power department, a healthy Yelich certainly brings power, and Hoskins and Contreras bring solid power to the lineup as well. Mitchell has untapped power potential as well. So it isn't like the perceived lineup is devoid of power. Also, it is important to remember that its Jan. 7, and we still have over a month before pitchers and catchers even report to Arizona. -
Yelich was arguably the best hitter in the lineup before going down last season. There's a reason he was an All-Star Game starter. Sure, there is a potential for decline, and the injury chance is always prevalent, but a healthy Yelich is still a top-notch MLB hitter.

Bauers signed to minor league deal
Ron Robinsons Beard replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Yes, he'd probably be ok numbers-wise. And there was a time teams would employ him despite the known locker room cancer reputation. But that was back when he was putting up Cy Young-level numbers. He's simply not that pitcher anymore, and teams aren't willing to put up with his dickishness in return for what he'd provide. -
I think the only phrase that should accompany this thread title is "isn't going anywhere" *lockthread

Methinks that ship has sailed -
The Brewers aren't moving a 24-year-old who just won a Gold Glove to 4th OF. Come on.
