Opens the season in Brent Suter's role then in rotation if an injury occurs?

As I read fangraphs I have no idea how Frelick is rated that low. So what if CF is not his position? How do you want to rate someone that much lower because of the perceived lack of power? He is only getting better. He now has more ABs in the minors than in college. He is learning and doing so extremely quickly. His floor is a Darryl Hamilton type, His ceiling approaches Molitor with his bat skills. Chourio might have massive skills, but I see Frelick as a sure thing and cannot wait for him to be with the Major League club.

I am most impressed by his attitude when he was injured. Still played aggressively. His defense was still great and he still swiped bags, While flustered at the plate he still handled everything else.

I say move Urias to 2B, Adames to 3B, sign Dansby Swanson for our SS! Turang can be traded for all I care. I know that is not within the realm of possibility, but that is what I would like to see.

These stats are wrong! How soon we forget about Blake Perkins.

I am only interested with Justin Turner at 3B. I blieve Urias is better than anyone else. Does Edwin Rios have an option left? If so, I wouldn't mind signing him and sticking him in the minors this year. He has always intrigued me.

What about Trey Mancini to get Righthanded at bats at 1B and some veteran presence in Right field so we aren't so reliant on the rookies? I would take Turner for third and no one else would even be considered an upgrade, imo. My main wish is for Andrew Chaffin for bullpen help. Others I am interested in for one reason or another are: Archie Bradley, Michael Fulmer, Ken Giles, Reyes Moronta, Adam Ottavino, and Taylor Rogers. Does Edwin Rios have an option left? If so I would like to take a cheap shot with him for 3B depth in minors. Would Danny Duffy take a minor league deal for Starting Depth? Other than those thoughts, I am happy to roll with what we have

Worse than Tyler Thornburg?

Will that include a 12 game slide at the end of the month as well?

Hopefully he figured out it was trying to be more patient and letting the count get to two strikes. He was very pedestrian at best last year against two strike breaking balls. Go back to jumping on pitches and he is golden.

https://www.cougarboard.com/board/message.html?id=25655482 "Some rumblings going around about Josh Hader to the Padres. Dennis Lin yesterday said on the Darren Smith show that Padres GM AJ Preller really covets Hader but the price was said to be too steep. This morning, on the Ben and Woods show (San Diego sports radio), one of the hosts said that a source in the know said there is a potential three-team deal being discussed to "improve the Padres bullpen" and the teams in discussion are the Padres, Brewers and Tigers. As Lin (reporter from the Athletic, fwiw) said, I think the Brewers would ask for the moon for Hader, and Woods said he didn't know how far along the deal was or whether it would even happen, so I don't know that it's going to happen, but if it did, the Padres would clearly be the second best team in the league behind the Dodgers (they probably already are, but the gap between those two and the rest of the league would just get bigger)."

I think you nailed it. He stays in shape all year..-if Brewers are in contention at the trade deadline, need a super sub, and cannot bring one in....enter Braun.

These may not all be minimum salaries, but all of these players should be relatively cheap and intrigue me one way or another in order on how much I like them: Mike Foltynewicz Brad Peacock Matt Moore Tyler Anderson Dario Agrazal Erasmo Ramírez Nick Tropeano

I like your thinking. I cringe at the thoughts of retreads and would prefer a guy like this. Maybe James Loney could be a fair comparison as to what he could turn into for hitting if all goes right?

It might be the only guy we sign all off season. How can you forget about Luke Maile?!?

Don't we owe $1,750,000 total to Smoak and Holt as well that counts towards payroll?

Brewers 82-80 Reds 82-80 Cardinals 82-80 Cubs 82-80 Pirates 67-95

So how close is Hader, Arcia, and Ray to landing Clevinger? I think I hit on the Indians needs. Maybe Urias instead of Arcia? I am totally fine with the trade so I suppose we need to sweeten the pot some.

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/12/indians-trade-rumors-mike-clevinger-dodgers-padres.html With Mike Clevinger drawing trade interest, could the Brewers be one of the teams? The Indians haven't had a solid bullpen in a couple years, they could end up trading Lindor and they are suspect in the outfield. Could some combination of Hader, Arcia, and Corey Ray be in the works for MIke Clevinger? Cleveland would get cheap major league talent to compete and MIlwaukee would get a huge upside, contollable pitcher. Also would free up the Urias, Arcia, Sogard potential logjam.

Brewers 86 Cardinals 85 Cubs 84 Pirates 83 Reds 82

You're right. Fixed.

Bryce Harper: Twins. With no money on the books and the tribe looking vulnerable the Twins sweep in with an 9 year, $333 million contract (Harper happy because it beats Stantons total $) Manny Machado: Chicago White Sox. White Sox have done numerous things to ensure Manny comes. evenually accepts 7 year, $210 million contract. A.J. Pollock: Phillies. Phillies panic after not landing one of the top two, sign Pollock to shocking 5 year, $105 million contract to ensure Pollock comes. Dallas Kuechel: Phillies. Still in shock mode, Phillies succumb to Kuechel's demands of 5 years, $100 million. Craig Kimbrel: Cardinals. Market never materializes, Cardinals need closer and wants the man in camp long before what happened last year. Signs Kimbrel to a 1 year, $22 million contract. Mike Moustakas: Phillies. Phillies have a bit of stupid money leftover from not landing top two, only team to offer Moustakas a three year deal at 3 years, $27 million. Marwin Gonzalez: Pirates, market never materializes since teams that value versatility don't show interest. Pirates enter in the side door and land him for 4 years, $28 million. Gio Gonzalez: Giants. Why stop at Holland and Pomeranz?!? Get another lefty on incentive laden deal at 1 year, $4 million with incentives that could bring total to $10 million. Adam Jones: Rockies. Rockies make another move to block David Dahl. Jones sees opportunity to follow along same lines of past vets who are not in their prime and put up ridiculous numbers at the end of their career puts up career year with his 1 year, $8 million contract. Wade Miley: Astros. Astros see cheaper version of Dallas Kuechel and offers 3 years, $15 million to have some stability with rotation beyond 2019. Jose Iglesias: Mariners. Mariners pay him 1 year, $4 million as insurance for J.P. Crawford and somehow gets involved with a three way team trade with the Padres and Yankees ending up with the Padres who, in turn, flips him back to the Mariners and agree to pay half his salary. Josh Harrison. Orioles. Everyone realizes Harrison is mediocre, no offers. Harrison sins for 1 year, $2.5 million will Orioles who hope he can be flipped to contending club midseason. Clay Buchholz. Brewers. Finally! Oft injured up and down player who signs one year deal for $4 million. Ervin Sanatana. Pirates. Doesn't this scream pitcher who eventually winds up with Pirates pitches well and lands that bigger contract the next season that he never lives up to since he was already past his prime? 1 year, $4 million.
