    Thanks for the bowl win Chase. You are now 5th on the depth chart.

    Correa is obviously damaged goods to the point where two big money/big market teams signed him to a deal, only to back out. Not sure this is going to end well for the Twins, who have typically been more careful with their credit card,

    Not me. Turning a lottery ticket into Freddy is a pretty major aberration, and definitely not the norm in these types of deals. Most of the time these deals for projectable teens amount to nothing. I'd much rather have Houser's solid MLB arm on the roster for the next 3 years during this contention window, than a hope and prayer we, even in a best-case won't see until at least its rebuild time. Contending teams don't deal off pieces that they consider part of their immediate plans for shots in the dark, unless extenuating circumstances come into play.

    Agreed. I think Lauer probably brings back a substantially better package given that he's younger than Houser, has had more recent and consistent success, and is a lefty. I guess I just like the idea of Houser working out of the pen better than getting a handful of 18-year-olds for him if that's all that's out there.

    If all they are going to get, though, is lottery tickets, wouldn't it be more prudent just to hang onto him? Even if he isn't in the rotation, he's proven that he can be a solid if not close to dominant reliever. If the team is truly in a contention window, that alone makes Houser is a very useful piece.

    College free agency is more exciting than the NFL version. This really can't last, though. Its quickly turning into a dumpster fire.

    Every year the team signs a handful of these types. And every year fans negatively overreact. As mentioned above, a lot of bad stuff would need to happen for VanMeter to impact the MLB club.
  11. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I'm not sure that would be any more productive than keeping Urias at 3B, with Brosseau sprinkling in, and just playing Turang at 2B. I know Moose was quite productive in his time as a Brewer, but he was pretty bad the last two seasons with the Reds, and only so-so in 2020.
  12. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Key word there is "compete". Obviously Woodruff, Burnes and Peralta are assured spots, and I have to imagine Lauer is a lock as well. Doubt Miley is going to be pitching out of the pen, so he's probably a lock as well. If they go with a 6-man rotation, which seems likely at this point, that leaves Ashby, Houser and Wilson in competition for that role, with the two losers likely going to the pen. Not such a bad problem to have.
  13. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Bud got cute and decided to empty the bench ... only for those bench players to prove why they are bench players. Credit is deserved where it's due, though. That was a hell of a comeback. Bucks were lucky to escape with a win. I know this team is kind of built for the playoffs, but missing multiple starters nearly every night is getting kind of old. I don't know if they've had one game where they've played at full strength all season.
  14. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Small and Ashby have been on a similar trajectory for a few years now, and I was sort of expecting both to be up and make an MLB impact in the same general time frame. But it isn't surprising that Ashby is making the leap while Small isn't. Ashby has the raw stuff to get away with periodically spotty command, but Small simply doesn't. Small has the ability to be a solid MLB pitcher, but he's never going to have the raw stuff that Ashby has, so unless he can harness his command and basically become a finesse lefty, I fear he'll never make an impact.
  15. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I remember very similar comments when the Brewers acquired Jordan Lyles and Drew Pomeranz ... and Wade Miley (the first time, from me specifically). And those moves turned out ok.
  16. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Sorry, guess I assumed you were being sarcastic.
  17. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Right ... he's the type of guy they could immediately send to Arizona and get into the pitching lab to see if there's anything there. He did have some initial success with the Braves, but hasn't found any sort of consistency for the most part.
  18. Ron Robinsons Beard
    25 years old. Big fastball. Past high-end prospect. If this is what "dumpster diving" is, I'm all for it.
  19. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I suppose he could be complaining because the Brewers haven't signed any of their young guys to extensions, but I kinda doubt it. I guess I could be wrong, but he appears to be upset because the team hasn't signed any free agents of note. I guess I was just pointing out that there are more ways to skin a cat.
  20. Ron Robinsons Beard
    That story appears as if it were written by a 12-year-old Cardinals fanboy.
  21. Ron Robinsons Beard
    It's a minor league deal. Not real sure its worth fretting about.
  22. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Because buying free agents is the only way to build a competitive baseball team? Sure, I guess.
  23. Ron Robinsons Beard
    The guy is an enigma, plain and simple. He's a RHH who can't touch lefties, strikes out at an astronomical, excess Rob Deer-like rate and plays defense about as well as I do with my 42-year-old body and bad knee. Maybe we need to accept that, while he maybe was a little mismanaged last year, perhaps he's also simply not very good.
  24. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Right ... valuations that don't make sense. Yes, Tatis is 7 years younger than Yelich, but he's locked into a deal that is more than double the contract that Yelich signed, and pays him through his age 35 season in 2034. Yelich's deal pays him through age 36 in 2029. It seems that Yelich's down last few years have negatively affected his value at a MUCH greater ratio than Tatis missing all of 2022 according to that website. I don't deny that Tatis should have more value moving forward based on his age alone, but saying that Yelich has $-112.2 million in value, while saying Tatis has $112.5 million is pure foolish poppycock.

    Yep, the Lions are just plucky enough to mess up the narrative. The Packers came to play with great energy and a superb gameplan against the Vikings last weekend, and they are going to have to do the same thing to beat the Lions. The Packers are finally playing well enough that I do expect them to win, but it isn't going to be easy.
