    Your argument didn't make sense the first time you said it, and it doesn't make sense now.
  2. Ron Robinsons Beard
    That is an extremely good point. I personally am high on these guys not simply because they are good prospects, but because the Brewers traded the finest relief pitcher in the game to get them, and I want this team to have success. I get why a team in the Brewers' situation has to trade stars away, but they can't afford to miss on the return and still remain competitive long term.
  3. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Not that this team doesn't deserve ridicule this week, but perhaps this particular reason was misplaced?
  4. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Yeah, that's a lot of "being crappy to another fan" to unpack there for simply suggesting patience. I'm not even going to try. You win I guess.
  5. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Fine ... is suggesting that, perhaps, not declaring a trade bad or lousy three days after it happened not based in at least a modicum of wisdom? I mean, I get that we live in an immediate reactionary society, but sheesh.

    Is suggesting that, perhaps, not declaring a trade an utter failure three days after it happened not based in at least a modicum of wisdom?

    You doing THIS is contrarian. Going the "holier than thou" route typically isn't a good look.
  8. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I think the lesson here is simply not to judge a book by its cover.
  9. Ron Robinsons Beard
    It isn't about you not agreeing with me. You are literally telling several people that they are flat out wrong for ranking Ruiz higher than the Brewers existing OF prospects, which is a totally subjective exercise. If that isn't contrarian, I'm not exactly sure what is.
  10. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Obviously the Brewers front office likes those two prospects much better than you staring at an arbitrary MLB Pipeline prospect list. How about we see how these guys play out a bit before concluding that "the return couldn't be much weaker"? I remember very similar sentiments in the Grisham/Davies for Urias/Lauer swap, and that has turned out quite swimmingly in the other direction.
  11. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I can see that you are being somewhat contrarian simply to be contrarian, but it is totally OK to be excited about the new guy ... especially when as a fan we are trying to justify giving up the best relief pitcher in the majors. I don't care if Ruiz was playing his games on the moon, those numbers are enough to make anyone do a double-take.
  12. Ron Robinsons Beard
    The nice thing about high-end, young, athletic and cost-controlled OFers is that they have a lot of value in potential trades. I expect that Frelick, Mitchell, Wiemer and Ruiz are all going to at least be solid MLB OFers. What I DO NOT expect, though, is for all of them to be solid MLB OFers for the Brewers. At least long term.

    The problem is that guys on the 60-day IL revert to the active 40-man roster following the season, so Barker would have been clogging a spot there all offseason before they could place him back on the 60-day IL next spring. All the while he'd be drawing a major league salary and service time, while it is likely he won't even be able to competitively pitch again until 2024, when he'd be a 32-year-old rookie. Just really disastrous timing for this injury, as he'd been pitching well and looked to be a guy who was going to be yo-yoing back and forth between AAA and the MLB roster this year. Teams will stand with guys through this sort of rehab process if they feel there is enough upside to be had. But Barker is a guy who maxes out in the low 90s with his FB, and while he has been extremely effective in the upper minors, his upside is as a low-end middle relief arm at the MLB level at best. It's a tough, sometimes pretty crappy business, especially for the guys on the fringe.
  14. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Perhaps. But those are full-on video game numbers. It is definitely a great problem to have when you're arguing over which of 4 high-end upper-level OF prospects is the most awesome. And that doesn't even count the mini break-out we are seeing from Lutz this year. Heck, at this time last year Hedbert Perez had all the helium, and he's almost become an afterthought in the system now.
  15. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Just when I think you might have an actual point, you go and throw this kind of line in and completely blow it. Sheesh
  16. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Pain
  17. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Typically trolls don't last as long as he has. But here we are.
  18. Ron Robinsons Beard
    He took Yelich's DH spot. Up next
  19. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Oh look ... Brewers winning all game, and as soon as the Pirates tie it up, here you are. Coincidence?
  20. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Good thing he'll be running the Mets next year.
  21. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I miss our top-notch pitching.
  22. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Because he's still controllable through arbitration next year. Considering the sorry state of of catching in MLB, and the fact that he's not a dumpster fire with the bat, he'd find a job.
  23. Ron Robinsons Beard
    LOL that is a little ironic. I wonder if Reetz will be activated tomorrow, and Feliciano returned to the taxi squad?
  24. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Why can't a player who is DHing lead off? It's allowed.
  25. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I'm not real sure what you are arguing here, but it seems like you are forcing an argument simply to argue.
