In the end, does it really matter if Turang doesn't provide 3B-type power if you are getting it from Adames at SS and Urias at 2B? It isn't set in stone that 3B has to be a power position. Cirillo certainly wasn't a huge source of power, and is one of the best 3B in Brewers history. -

I don't think Tellez is a terrible 1B, and supposedly Singleton is actually pretty good over there. -
Brewers sign Blake Perkins

And water is wet. Contreras to the Cards was about the easiest free agent match you could make this offseason. I'd be very surprised if he doesn't follow in Yadi's douche footsteps. -
Hiura is an enigma. He's a terrible fielding right-handed hitter who oddly and frustratingly can't touch lefty pitching. IMO this team would be better off dealing him and then finding a player who actually compliments Tellez's skillset, not one who poorly mimics it. They need a RHH 1B/DH type who has a clue against lefties. I'd be extremely surprised if he's back.

He simply said the quiet part out loud. What did he say that wasn't 100% true? Like I said earlier, god forbid a player show so interest in winning and building a World Series-contending ballclub, rather than just worry about collecting a paycheck. I personally wish more players would speak up in this manner.

I don't think Hiura would be a surprise at all. A divorce is probably in both parties' best interests.

Actual statistics beg to differ. I mean, yeah, if Lauer were pitching for the Dodgers, he'd probably be their 4th starter. But that isn't the case typically. I'd venture to say that Lauer's numbers stack up favorably against most team's #3 guy, if not their #2. 20 years ago Eric Lauer would have been the Brewers ace.

I think there's a pretty solid chance that, depending on what happens with Wong, and if Turang proves capable of hitting MLB pitching, the team's 3B of at least the immediate future is already on the roster. He's currently playing SS though. Urias has the chops to play 2B, and Adames definitely would be able to handle 3B.

Right ... I doubt the Brewers are looking to replace Tellez outright. This would be moreso a replacement for McCutchen's bat in the lineup, but instead of fitting into the defensive alignment as a poor part-time fill-in outfielder who mashes lefties, Abreu/Bell would fit as as a poor part-time fill-in 1B who mashes lefties.

Kinda clickbaity ... but it's late November, and we are in the boring early throes of the MLB offseason. If there was any time an article like this would be appropriate, now is it. But yeah ... the chances of this happening are fractions of a percentage point.

I think you are probably making a mountain out of a molehill here. We're arguing about a guy who, even if he destroys the ball in Spring Training, is looking like a potential platoon 1B/DH at most. If he makes the team, he's the 25th or 26th man, and if he doesn't produce, they'll simply DFA him and move on. The Brewers regularly churn the bottom portion of the roster, and this is another case of that. Heck, there isn't even a 100% chance that he'll make it to Spring Training on the 40-man roster. But they had spots open now, and he's a guy that they obviously deemed to have some upside, so they protected him. We'll see what happens. But even the best World Series-contending teams churn the bottom of the roster with these types of guys.

To be fair ... I believe that to be what the Brewers front office sees in him, not what I personally see in him. I suppose it is possible they may get some solid offensive production on the cheap with him, though, which explains why he's being kept around.
