EXACTLY!!! Mark A has money that he can spend. often times we say oh well we can't compete with these big market teams, but it is so innaccuarate to the extent that people say it. Can they spend $200mill a year? No, but they could likely go to $160-$175 million for a few years and then go back down to a more moderate level (100-120mill a year).

Oh interesting, another poster that doesn't realize the Brewers are on a budget and can't spend infinite money... Why would you waste time with Wheeler when Cole and Strasburg are available? There is a major difference between being on a budget and saying you are poor and just not spending any money because you want to line your own pockets even more.

i remember them. They weren't big names. CC and Greinke are the only big name SP's the Brewers have had in the last 11 years.

dont think those are very good examples.

Wheeler's injury history scares the beejesus out of me. I also disagree that a signing of Lyles is any sort of indication that the Brewers aren't being "serious". Wheeler may be one of the more talented pitchers on the market, but that doesn't mean that signing him doesn't carry a lot of risk. Everyone has their "risks." Brewers havent been real willing to do much and thats why you see them not winning WS. Define "much". Because this team has been very active in recent years acquiring players both via trade and through free agency to get better. When was the last time they invested serious capital whether that be trade or free agency into a starting pitcher? and moreso on that line the last time they invested serious money into a pitcher?

Wheeler is way better than Lyles in just about every category that matters. The one that is most interesting is how does Lyles have a Negative Career WAR while Wheeler is 10.2 Career WAR. This isn't comparable. If the Brewers want to be cheap they go Lyles. if they want to get serious they open the pocketbook and spend a little bit..

Ryan Braun Signed Baseball, Ryan Braun Signed Picture with Frame, Prince Fielder Signed Baseball. Any idea what they are worth?

when did Dubon use an option? dont you have to be in the major leagues for that?

Not that I am a huge fan but I thought something like a Dave and Busters would've gone well in there. Something for the adults and the kids. Thats what the Game is for. Im not going to Miller Park to play games and eat food. Im going to watch a baseball game. That’s great. For you. I am the same way. But for a lot of others, not so much. i love what Target Field has..

Is there any way to build a package around Dubon, Ray, Peralta, Woodruff, and Zack Brown? This would be the ideal scenario as they get their ace that they most desperately need, but they also get to keep Hiura and Burnes. Idk if it’s possible, but that’s why I am asking.

I personally don’t see what everyone else sees with Hiura.. I don’t think he is that good personally.

This is exactly what I have been saying. Stearns and co. are scared to make the big move that can set them far and above the other teams in this division.

They won’t do anything..
