    He's getting hit pretty hard here in the 4th, though. Three runs in.

    Wow, I bet that Bob Clay guy is fun at parties! Might be a good idea to perform a health and wellness check on him.

    One year, $3 million, with up to $1.5 million in incentives. Good call. I actually kind of like what the Royals are doing. Dumpster diving is a decent idea in this depressed market, and Jay may even be able to provide a decent Cain impersonation.

    I was just about to say the same thing. He's been great so far. That is surprising and, frankly, somewhat concerning. But his biggest problem the last few years is the lack of command. If he's got that back, maybe he can be useful. Just add him to the heap of what's been a weird offseason.

    I have no doubt that if he doesn't, someone high up in the organization does. Don't underestimate how important it is for the front office to keep a pulse on the thoughts of the fanbase. Hi David! Please don't go into the season thinking that Wade Miley and Yo are solid starting pitching options!

    There goes our one true Ace In all seriousness, I would have loved to see what Cappy could have done had injury not derailed his career. In his prime, he was one of the better lefty starters in MLB.

    I agree on the surface, but it's a little more complicated than that. If the Brewers truly believe that 2016 Villar can be recaptured, that is better than anything Walker is going to give you at this point in his career. But if the 2017 version of Villar is who he is, then it makes sense to cut bait and move on. What Walker provides is consistency ... basically a low ceiling and high floor. Villar obviously has a much lower floor, but that ceiling is much higher, even if the chances of getting to that level aren't that great. Starting him is a calculated risk. But I agree that if Walker is signed, it means that the team is giving up on Villar, and one way or another, he'll be gone.
  8. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I have no problem is signing Walker to a 1-2 year deal, on the condition that they have trade interest in Villar. He really doesn't fit on this team as a backup, but I think he has too much value to just DFA.

    Is this for real? If so, can you please provide odds?

    I think Yelich and Cain are pretty interchangeable in the #1/2 spots. Both are solid contact guys that profile as table setters. Yelich has a bit more power than Cain, though. I imagine these guys will be moved around frequently in Spring Training just to get them comfortable in different spots, but I imagine Cain will hit lead-off most of the time once the season starts. As for Drake, I think he's probably 40th on the 40-man right now. I'm really surprised he's survived this long. But he's the exact type of guy who will clear waivers and be stashed at AAA.
  11. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Why would you add Stokes, Orf and Miley to the 40-man and not have them on the active roster? That part doesn't make sense.
  12. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Yep, I know... But Ichiro isnt an everyday player... Isnt he mid 40s? He's 44 ... but I'm sure he could hold down LF for 3 weeks. Cleveland? Oakland? Detroit? Toronto?
  13. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Now the big question ... who is in need of a CF?
  14. Ron Robinsons Beard
    It wasn't implied that he'd be signing with the Brewers, either. Just that he'd be signing ... Yea true... Still any team to do something like that would be insane. Not really when you think about it. Teams make offers to free agents all the time that aren't immediately accepted. In theory, Cobb could have several offers on the table. Are the Brewers one of them? I'd say probably. But the offer is at their price, not his, so it does make sense for him to hold out to see if any better offers come in. It's arguable whether he's gaining or losing leverage, though.

  16. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Yeah, kind of a crazy thought. I suppose it's possible that Cobb has conditionally accepted an offer, but is waiting to see if there are any big-name pitching injuries that would increase his market. But not a lot in this offseason has made sense, so I guess this is just throwing another odd log on fire. This would be one of the craziest conditions for a possible contract that I can think of. I know you're just thinking of scenarios but I really hope Stearns and co. are not doing this. Either he wants to be with us or against us at some point here. Piss or get off the pot already. Totally agree. It's nuts. But no scenario I come up with really makes any sense.

    I can't see the Brewers trading pitching away, especially ML pitching. If anything was added to Broxton, it would be low-level minor leaguers. I almost wonder if this info was deliberately put out there to drive interest in Broxton and/or Santana. Teams hearing that there isn't a ton of interest in Santana may spur some conversation from teams thinking they can get him on the cheap. Clearing Broxton out would help the roster crunch a little, but there's still the issue with too many 1B candidates.
  19. Ron Robinsons Beard
    With the Brewers? Honestly, this drawn out process has tried my patience. Hope it's with someone else! I agree and quite honestly, if your not in camp in thethis week, your not ready for the beginning of the season. Who knows what his motivations are. But really, if it's a multi-year deal, in the whole scheme of things, who cares if he misses a couple starts in April?
  20. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Logic would probably dictate that one of Arrieta or Cobb will be a Brewer. I mean, the dots are pretty easy to connect. This offseason has been anything but logical, though. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Cobb signs a 3-year deal with the Brewers this week. That's a total guess, though, and I'm not even going to try to speculate on what the money will be. Because at this point who knows?
  21. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Well, that and he wouldn't cost near as much in trade capital.
  22. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I guess it depends on if the vet guys can be effective enough to earn a spot. If they determine one of the younger guys is head and shoulders better than one of the vets, he should get the spot. I get the need for depth, but there are always Miley and Gallardo types out there it seems.
  23. Ron Robinsons Beard
    It could be just a one-year anomaly too. There are several huge free agents that should be paid big dollars next year, so I wouldn't be surprised if the $$$ was handed out liberally again. But I think with analytics playing a bigger role, we won't see as many dumb contracts as in the past. The good, solid consistent players will still be paid, though.
  24. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I agree, he's got nasty stuff. With the injury history I'd feel safer with him in a relief role, though. I'd love to see him make the pen out of spring training.
  25. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I second that! There is a ton of talent in that rotation, and it could theoretically be great. Unfortunately there is a lot of "crash and burn" potential there as well. I could be hallucinating, but didn't Counsell say at one point last week say that it was likely that Burnes would be at Colorado Springs? I also think there's a good chance Nottingham begins in Colorado Springs. His power would be fun to watch there.
