Exactly. The Mets were certainly "all in" this offseason. Now they're selling. It can theoretically somewhat improve your chances, but never in the history of baseball has acquiring big names guaranteed success.
-
On-field performance may be the only thing that is typical about Chafin. Personality-wise, he's quite the character. He's also been an excellent MLB reliever up until this season. I can't imagine the price would be huge. This team could use a little more personality IMO, and Chafin has a track record of success. -
Even if the Brewers were willing to part with Quero in a deal (which I kind of doubt), it sure as heck wouldn't be for a rental reliever, even if he is Josh Hader.
-
Probably a mix of the Mets system being bad, along with some East Coast bias.
-
But you know what happens when your new girlfriend finds you stalking your ex's Instagram at 2 a.m. It's never, ever good.

Not really an exciting move, but Canha is a solid player who has a little pop, gets on base and isn't a windmill at the plate. Considering what they gave up to get him, it's ok. It very much screams old style waiver trade from a few years ago. But with no more waiver deals, these types of "roster-filler" type deals need to happen at the deadline, when fanbases are expecting a bigger name. I doubt we'll see another big deal for a bat. It wouldn't surprise me, though, to see a couple pen arms acquired today. That seems to be this team's annual deadline day tradition.

I do wonder what the cost would be on someone like Soto. Not sure how "simple" the situation would be, though. The scenario you suggest actually sounds quite complicated.

Keston Hiura has a .984 OPS in Nashville

Low average hitter who Ks excessively and can't hit lefties to save his life. Not really the solution this offense needs right now. -
How's it going so far? Having experience coaching girls softball at that age level a few years back (my oldest daughter is at 12U now), you really have to be those girls' biggest cheerleader. Celebrate every positive thing they do. I found coaching boys at that age is much different than coaching girls. Boys are typically a little further along athletically, but also extremely scatterbrained at that age. It can be next to impossible to get them to focus. The girls are usually further behind on fundamentals, but tend to pay attention and listen better. The girls also aim to please a bit more at that level. They are definitely apprehensive and usually pretty shy about making an aggressive play, or even aggressive movements out on the diamond, though. So when they do show proactive tendencies, really reward that behavior. Play it up like when just got a game-winning hit.

I've coached all different levels of your baseball for nine years, and you are 100% correct. Station work is the name of the game at that age level. Those kids need reps, and they don't get that with a glorified scrimmage every practice. We run two practices a week before we start our league season, and I always try to split them up into one practice that focuses on throwing and fielding work, and one that focuses exclusively on hitting. That way the practices don't become too repetitive.
-
Facing another middling lefty. Awesome! This team needs to do something to find better options against left-handed pitching.
-
But sure, that wishlist thing was completely made up by the media.
-
Kinda reminds me of Mike Daniels or perhaps pre-weight loss/position change Mike Neal. Both high motor guys with limited athleticism. Daniels certainly carved out a solid career as a undersized disruptor. Neal was also useful, moreso after the position change.
-
The 2022 Brewers went 86-76. If this version is most improved team in MLB, how many are they gonna win? 110? 120?

Claudio optioned. Miller added to roster
Ron Robinsons Beard replied to patrickgpe's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
In 15 innings over six games, three of which were starts. Sample isn't real explanatory. -
Wiemer is starting to show more power. That is a very good sign. With Mitchell and Frelick both down, they probably have to stick with him and let him take his lumps and the ML level this season.
-
Good work by Freddy today. Not flawless, but if Anderson catches a routine fly ball, he goes at least 6 scoreless. Exactly the start this team needed.
-
Not really how it works. Bush would need to have a legit injury that warrants a stay on the 60-day IL. You can't use it to stash guys you are hoping to "get right".
-
All good points. I don't know, though. He just "seems" like a Packers-type pick, especially in a draft where it seems more and more fans have fallen in love with the idea of drafting JSN. If one of the top Edge guys like Anderson or Wilson, or a stud like Jalen Carter inexplicably falls out of the top 10, I could see the Packers grabbing one of those guys too. Personally, JSN would be really fun. I'd love it. But taking him at #13 is not the Packers' M.O. That's why I don't see it happening.
-
Freddy is in dire need of a "get right" start today. With Woody down and Burnes scuffling, he needs to step up as the stopper.
-
Considering Frelick is out until mid-June at the earliest, that may take awhile.
-
Even if Jordan Love doesn't end up being "it", drafting him lit a fire under Rodgers, which led to two MVP awards and two NFC Championship game appearances, which then enabled the Packers to deal a near 40-year-old Rodgers for a package that arguably has a higher value than the 26th pick in the 1st round, plus the 4th rounder, that they used to draft Love. I have never bought the argument that Love was a bad pick because that 2019 Packers team was "one player away" from being a Super Bowl team. That 2019 team was winning on smoke and mirrors, and Rodgers didn't look particularly great that year. But in 2020 and 2021 he was miraculous. Maybe I'm looking at the situation with green and gold-tinted glasses, but IMO, Jordan Love would need to be pretty terrible for that 2020 pick to end up looking bad.
-
I personally think Skoronski is going to be the pick. Start him at guard this year, then kick him out to LT in 2024 when Bahk is gone. You have a top notch LT for the next decade.
-
Tom may be solid in time, but needs to add strength to be a starting NFL tackle. Jones and Walker are big time projects. Just saying ... I don't know if I personally would advocate for it, but knowing how this team operates, it wouldn't surprise me whatsoever if tackle is the pick at #13. It's gonna piss off a lot of fans, but in the end, it's hard to argue with replenishing talent in the trenches. Pete Skoronski is the type of guy you can throw out at LT and forget about for the next decade.
-
He's just the latest WR that Packers Twitter has fallen in love with. I've seen how this movie ends. Typically its with an OT or DT/DE at #13, and Packers Twitter throwing fits. But the big guy is almost always the better choice.
