    They will never, ever defer that kind of money. The Mets are a literal laughing stock of the league with that Bonilla contract, yet you continue to hold it up as some sort of gold standard that teams should continue to do. Kicking the can down the road does not eliminate anything. It just gets you in a financial mess. I don't get your addiction this this idea. At all.

    This team has surprised me before, but I am about 98% sure Suter will be back next year.

    I'm with you. I've thought that site was a joke ever since the Grisham/Davies for Urias/Lauer deal, when they retroactively went in and lowered Urias's trade value significantly immediately following the deal to make the deal itself not look as lopsided in the Brewers' favor according to their algorithm. They've since done that on other deals, and the site owner even admitted that they do it. I'm sorry, but when you move the goalposts like that, you've lost me.

    Except that prospect grades are completely and utterly subjective. The Brewers could internally see Gasser and Ruiz as two of the top prospects in their system, and judging by the way they aggressively promoted Gasser especially, that wouldn't surprise me. Isn't it more prudent to grade this deal on the eventual overall sum of the parts, rather than on subjective, outside-of-the-organization prospect analysis?
  6. Ron Robinsons Beard
    You can't preface things by saying "hindsight is 20/20", then immediately write off the two biggest "gets" in this deal in Ruiz and Gasser. Also, I get the Inman/Gasser comparison, except that they have completely different body types, throw completely different stuff, and throw with different arms. Other than that, exactly the same!

    And also didn't show up on the forum a day to two days after there was an actual discussion thread started on the same transaction.

    I think that is probably the career arch that Keston is staring at as well, unless he can find a way to cut down on the swing-and-miss tendencies in favor of a line-drive, higher contact swing. Villar keeps getting opportunities because that raw talent is tantalizing. He simply plateaued as a young-ish player, I suspect due to an inability to make adjustments and adapt to coaching.

    I have been quite effusive in my praise of the positive changes Brock has made to this site, and he has been more than open to constructive criticism as well. If someone feels that an article(s) (that was likely paid for) adds little to the site itself, I don't see any reason why they wouldn't be able to give their opinion on it. Once something appears as an "article", and it is paid for, it is open to critique. Journalism 101.

    I know it is completely hypothetical, but IMO, the lack of more ABs from Keston Hiura is not even close to the biggest reason why this team is not in the driver seat for the playoff spot. I don't even know if it's really a reason at all. He's sucked. He's been a major disappointment since his rookie year. He's certainly not the only one who underperformed offensively this season, and he hasn't sucked as bad as some others, but it is obvious (to me at least) that they are fed up with the constant Ks. He just hasn't progressed. At all. And I think the Brewers are just fed up with him. No matter how pretty you paint a turd, it's still a turd.
  11. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Right here is the absolute perfect example on an article that is pointless and simply just takes up space on the forum: Brock, many of the changes you've made are awesome. But a lot of the articles are pretty redundant.
  12. Ron Robinsons Beard
    It's pretty obvious at this point that this forum has a much higher opinion of Keston Hiura than the Brewers, and likely the rest of MLB.
  13. Ron Robinsons Beard
    If we're going to be honest, the articles are more-or-less the fidget spinner section of this place. They kill time if you're bored, but from what I've seen, other than one here and there, they don't add much value to the site itself. Especially those that basically recap recently completed series or sum up personnel moves.
  14. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I like the pitch clock and larger bases. Not really in favor of banning the shift. MLB hitters have gotten lazy and pull-happy as it is, and this is only going to make it worse IMO.
  15. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I think it's probably a bit of both not playing Hiura vs. RHP, and starting him every game against LHP, even though the numbers bear out that he's terrible against LHP. It does seem like he has course-corrected a bit over the last several weeks, though. The team just doesn't have enough hitters available who are adequate vs. LHP, hence why Hiura sees so much action against them.
  16. Ron Robinsons Beard
    LOL, then you get a bunch of "Gah ... why is Counsell so dumb? Doesn't he understand reverse splits?" type posts in the IGT. What those posters don't seem to realize is that this offense as a whole just isn't good against left-handed pitching. They are caught between a rock and a hard place when a lefty is on the mound.

    Looking at the available FA catchers this offseason, I see a bunch of Omar Narvaez types. In fact, when you get past Contreras and the like bloated contract he'll likely sign, Narvaez may just be the next best option. Other comparable options include Gary Sanchez, Roberto Perez, Christian Vazquez, Tucker Barnhart, Austin Hedges, and Mike Zunino. All guys who are decent defenders who you'd be happy with a .700+ OPS.

    Who do you start vs. lefties then? Rowdy is a terrible matchup vs. them. Brosseau is hurt.
  20. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Yeah, there is that. Counsell = round hole, Hiura = square peg
  21. Ron Robinsons Beard
    He's had 3 hits in his last 15 ABs coming into last night with 6 Ks. Guessing that's more the reason.
  22. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Given that Mitch Keller throws with his right hand, I would deduce that Hiura will be in tonight's starting lineup.
  23. Ron Robinsons Beard
    No offense, but these articles end up looking redundant when there are separate topics that also cover these moves. The articles aren't adding anything extra.

    It's a good thing, then, that the Brewers would likely never trade him to a team who is basing his value off of this year's stat line. He probably isn't ultimately the guy who put up .285/.366/.525 in 2021 either, but I would imagine any team looking to deal for him sees him as something in between those two lines, and as a 27--year-old SS who also provides good defense and energy to a lineup, that has a lot of value.
