    When Hiura got daily ABs and a set spot in the lineup last year in September, he OPS'd a very pitcher-like .522, and struck out at a 50% clip. Granted he was very good in August of last year, which led to that regular action in the first place. But when they really needed him to step up ... when they were fighting for a playoff spot in September, he was a black hole. Granted he was not the only Brewer that faltered significantly down the stretch, but he also did nothing to help. That's why we haven't seen him this year.

    I'm not arguing that there isn't any sense to the idea. I'm not a Hiura fan by any means, but when he's hot, the kid does swing a decent power bat. The problem is those hot points have been few and very far between the last several years. I think if it was going to happen this year for Hiura and the Brewers, it would have already. The ship has probably sailed. Hence my hope that one of the DH bats finds something soon to make the argument irrelevant.
  3. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Hopefully one of our DH bats hits enough over the next couple weeks to render this thread moot. It probably wouldn't take much.
  4. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Good luck. When have they ever badmouthed one of their own players? I think the only reason they didn't outright release him is that the $2 million is a sunk cost, and perhaps they believed they may have been able to flip him for something of value this season. Perhaps they still could. It wouldn't surprise me to see a team make a deal for him before the season is over.
  5. Ron Robinsons Beard
    It isn't minimizing. It's simply looking at the sum of Candelario's career and using deductive reasoning. Perhaps he'll continue to perform as a .800+ OPS bat for the remaining two months of the season, but his career numbers basically scream otherwise. The guy has been just north of replacement-level both offensively and defensively his whole career. Those guys typically don't turn into Scott Rolen at age 29.
  6. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I think they convinced themselves that Anderson's poor 2022 was due to injury. Candelario didn't have that factor in his favor.
  7. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Had the Brewers signed a 3B coming off a season where he put up a .633 OPS, and penciled him is as the starting 3B, this forum would have had a hissy fit.
  8. Ron Robinsons Beard
    You are basing his value on two games? Really? Otherwise, what is it about Candelario that screams "needle mover"? That career .742 OPS? The .272 OBP he put up as a regular in Detroit last year? He's having a solid year ... but looking at his career numbers, it's an aberration. I fully expect him to come back down to earth in short order.
  9. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I don't know if I necessarily disagree with you. But I wouldn't be surprised if that's what's happening.
  10. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I'm not. He's a talented player. Brewers sold extremely low, and that sucks. I thought Urias was the 2B of the future. The fact that they are giving up on him now makes me think that they are perhaps trying to sign Adames to an extension, which would keep Turang at 2B. Hopefully Blalock ends up being something.
  11. Ron Robinsons Beard
    And probably looking at a short start from Woody Sunday, unless they hold him back till next week.
  12. Ron Robinsons Beard
    He'll be worth more this offseason, when there are more bidders.
  13. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Perhaps he would have gotten a shot had they not dealt for Santana and Canha. That ship has probably sailed now, though, barring injury.

    free agent acquisitions = championship

    The Brewers picked up a guy who has been a solid late-inning MLB arm for a long time, and gave up a guy who has fallen so far down the bullpen pecking order that he was likely in danger of being DFA'd, yet there is consternation here. I don't get it. The Brewers aren't giving up anything that is going to mortgage the future. They have shown to me quite adept and unearthing quality MLB relief arms, and Strez's velocity decrease this year was pretty concerning to his future success as a potential high-leverage relief option. I mean, at worst, this is a "meh" deal IMO.
  17. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Yes, you are. Beyond the shadow of a doubt.
  18. Ron Robinsons Beard
    No one is arguing that. His numbers are what they are. It's simply pointing out the volatility of late-inning relief pitching, and taking into consideration that, while Chafin hasn't been as effective as he was in prior seasons, he's still been pretty dang good.
  19. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Its one blow-up outing in 43 appearances. You're kinda making mountains out of molehills IMO.
  20. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Like I pointed out earlier, he gave up a 5-spot against the Cardinals last Monday. ERA was 2.9 prior to that game. The volitility of pitching in relief.
  21. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Chafin has been one of the top lefty non-closer relief pitchers in the majors for a long time. It's a pretty major upgrade.
  22. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Strzelecki has been decent. Scuffled some this year. But he's kind of a dime-a-dozen type hard throwing, volatile reliever. The Brewers literally gave one of those away yesterday in Jake Cousins. Overall hard to find a whole lot to argue about here IMO.
  23. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Apparently Peter Strezlecki is going back to Arizona. Odd trade.
  24. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Chafin had an ERA of 2.9 before getting tagged for 5 ERs against the Cardinals last Monday.
