    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.

    You have a point. But Kolten Wong isn't really the type of talent that a team drastically overpays for in a trade.
  4. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Of course not. That would probably be an enormous overpay by the Mariners. Flexen is a solid, cost-controlled mid-rotation starter, and Kelenic is a still very young 23-year-old former blue chip CF prospect. One of those guys by themselves would probably be an overpay for one year of Wong.
  5. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Interesting. I think most figured this was a possibility when the Brewers picked up Wong's option. The Mariners have been taking calls on Chris Flexen, Jesse Winker and Jerrad Kelenic.

    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'd argue that no player could possibly look like a bust 8 games into their rookie year ... especially a guy who has missed a bunch of time with multiple injuries. I think it's prudent to have a bit more patience with these guys before breaking out the B word, personally. I agree that Watson has plenty to work on, but last week was possibly a pretty good preview of what he could be if things click. I personally don't think smarts or ability is going to be his issue. Staying on the field is.
  11. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Doubtful. He was considered a steal at the time the Brewers picked him, and his projectability has only risen with what he showed in instructs and his tiny taste of A ball. Doubt the Brewers would even consider trading him, though, unless it was as part of a package for a major needle-mover.

    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.

    A power bat at a league minimum salary.

    Good question. But there was really no other reason to add him if they didn't think that.

    It's entirely possible that they caught wind of another team looking to nab Singleton in the Rule 5 draft. He strikes me as the type of guy who may hit 30-35 HRs next year, then kind of bottom out once the league learns the book on how to pitch him.

    Yep ... perhaps I didn't grasp the full context. In any case, Hill must have been a pretty big knucklehead if the Packers cut ties this soon after sticking with him through his full rehab.
  23. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Hill was drafted in 2021, and blew out his ACL a few games into his rookie year. He's a 2nd year RB. Although I understand the argument that he's kind of a 1st year guy in regards to experience. Definitely not a 3rd year RB though.

    While these guys won't break the bank, we are still talking about sizable contracts for a cost-conscious team. And will any of them provide greater results than a redeaux with Jordan Lyles? He will likely be substantially cheaper, and is pretty comparable numbers-wise.
