    I don't think his amount of MLB experience has much to do with physical maturity, though. Most MLB players reach their peak performance when they are roughly 27-28 years old, and that has much to do with physical maturity combined with ample experience.
  2. Ron Robinsons Beard
    It should also be noted that Urias is still only 25 years old, and that is is entirely possible that he still has upside that hasn't yet been reached.

    I don't understand how someone can log into a site called Brewer Fanatic, make multiple posts that literally suck the joy out of the room, then get upset when other posters disagree with their opinions. Also, they seem to be assuming that the 2023 team is completely built. On Dec. 15. And that spending big money on big names in free agency is the only way to improve a team.
  4. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I must have missed where every MLB free agent signed by Dec. 15.
  5. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Who is a justifiable "get" at 3B who would fall into that "needle mover" status, if Urias is not that type of player? I personally don't think any of the free agent 3B out there are a big enough upgrade over Urias at 3B, Turang at 2B to justify the move. Maybe Arnold has another crazy trade up his sleeve?
  6. Ron Robinsons Beard
    They have plenty of guys who can play 3B. I'd say if they go that direction, it's more a luxury at this point. Tellez and Adames are about as set as you're going to get at 1B and SS. Urias will likely be starting somewhere, whether its at 2B or 3B. They need to decide whether a bat like Brian Anderson or Justin Turner is a big enough upgrade over Toro/Turang/Brosseau to justify the cost.
  7. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I think you hit the nail on the head. Urias is not the body type most think of when they think of a prototypical 3B. I think most want the Scott Rolen/Troy Glaus-type. You know, that big, beefy 6'4" guy who swings hard and hits dingers. The thing is, Urias has already proven that he can put up similar-type numbers, but in a much smaller package.
  8. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Urias is a MUCH better 3B than a SS, and the numbers back that up. I expect some type of combination of Urias, Toro, Brosseau and Turang to man the hot corner and 2B this year. It would certainly be nice to have more of an everyday type guy at those spots, but I don't know if that is in the cards.
  9. Ron Robinsons Beard
    You picked an odd hill to die on here from the beginning, but this is bordering on nonsensical now.
  10. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Look what Seattle got for Russell Wilson despite Wilson being utterly terrible last year. The Packers will get decent value back if they decide to move on from Rodgers this offseason.
  11. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Just had labrum surgery. He's out till probably August.
  12. Ron Robinsons Beard
    They also struggle ranking relievers IMO. Hader with 1 1/2 years of club control remaining only worth 15.5? The site is a fun thing to look at, but people treat it as an "end all, be all" when it comes to player valuations, and it has proven to be far from that.
  13. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Oh I don't deny that by all appearances, the Brewers did very well here. I just don't think its the valuation curb-stomping that the BTV site makes it out to be.
  14. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I'm ready to move on from Rodgers and see what we have in Love.
  15. Ron Robinsons Beard
    The trade values site REALLY struggles assigning values to young prospects that haven't yet made a significant contribution in the majors. Having a value on Ruiz of roughly 4 is a joke, especially after the breakout he had and the fact he was traded as a major piece for the top relief arm in the game a few months ago. Yes, perhaps the Athletics had an uncharacteristic high value on him, but obviously so did the Brewers. And those are two teams who are generally well run and are pretty spot on with player evaluations much of the time. I get the feeling that opinions here are skewed on Ruiz because of the Hader trade fallout. People want to think that the Brewers were fleeced in that deal because they need justification for their anger. But in reality, Ruiz obviously holds a high value, and the Brewers likely did pretty well in that deal, picking up what now looks like two very high-end prospects in Ruiz and Gasser.
  16. Ron Robinsons Beard
    It gets better. Contreras absolutely DESTROYS lefty pitching.
  17. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Contreras is going to be a work in progress defensively. But so was Narvaez, and he turned out to be perfectly fine back there.
  18. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Big time egg on the face of the BTV site on this one. Huge swing and a miss on Ruiz's value especially.
  19. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Just wait a little while ... they'll jack up Ruiz's value shortly.
  20. Ron Robinsons Beard
    If this is the deal, it is safe to say that A LOT of people have not put the right kind of value on Ruiz. Including many here. Definitely makes the Hader trade look better in retrospect.
  21. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Or a lot of people are underestimating Ruiz's value. But yeah, Brewers have to be giving up more.
  22. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Payamps is a solid MLB reliever, and Yeager looks like a solid minor league relief arm
  23. Ron Robinsons Beard
  24. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I have to think it's gonna be more than just Ruiz leaving Milwaukee.
  25. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Ruiz to Oakland
