    If they have to put a David Gruber patch on their jerseys for us to stop seeing those awful commercials, I'm all for it.

    https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/brewers-sal-frelick-cleared-for-baseball-activities/ Just saw this. Would love to see him get up to speed quick and have him on the active roster - we need a catalyst.
  3. jonescm128
    Anyone know the status of Frelick? Been a while since I have heard anything...
  4. jonescm128
    Good to see him picking it up as of late - I think it was him the other day who said you cant do damage on balls hit on the ground, so it seems like he is actively trying to make the launch angle adjustment.
  5. jonescm128
    Looks like he has only played 3B this year, other than a couple games at DH. A cornerstone 3B would be nice...

    There is a ton of love and hype around our quartet of OF prospects of Mitchell, Frelick, Weimer, and Chourio, but I want to give a shout out to Tyler Black. He is not nearly as hyped but has been getting better every year and has improved with tougher competition. 2021 (A) - .222/.388/.272/.660, 28.2% K, 19.4% BB, .049 ISO, 2 SB 2022 (A+) - .281/.406/.424/.830, 15.5% K, 15.9% BB, .143 ISO, 13 SB 2023 (AA) - .276/.467/.513/.980, 17.1% K, 21.9% BB, .237 ISO, 17 SB Those are really impressive numbers with elite bat to ball skills and improving power (with speed to boot!) at 22 years old.

    Not if that availability gets you a sub .700 OPS
  8. jonescm128
    I'd guess most of that WAR is defensive because there is nothing about a .660 OPS that says anything other than he has been terrible at the plate.
  9. jonescm128
    Bellinger seems to have found it again this year. Slashing .295/.373/,589 on the year.
  10. jonescm128
    I'm not into conspiracy theories but MLB did crack down on cheating and Yu Darvish did accuse Yelich of cheating. I've always attributed it to his knee injury but I have had friends suggest the cheating thing.
  11. jonescm128
    I didn't think he could be much worse than he was the past few years but he is currently sitting at a .656 OPS and 82 OPS+. I know its technically still early and he is making a ton of money but is there ever a point where they say enough is enough? What does he bring to this team other than quality baserunning? What a sad fall from grace.
  12. jonescm128
    Except I thoroughly enjoy those chickens and make the trip to the store just for them. I have not enjoyed Yelich for a couple years and he definitely isn't the reason I am watching the games.
  13. jonescm128
    The biggest thing for me I have noticed so far is that this team is going to be extremely exciting to watch and its going to be a lot of fun. The team seems to be enjoying themselves - something that was definitely missing last year.
  14. jonescm128
    I'm gonna create a keyboard shortcut for this. Have a feeling we will be saying that a lot this year...again.
  15. jonescm128
    Avoid sitting in left field during day games - the sun and the metal bleachers are absolutely BRUTAL
  16. jonescm128
    Frelick has been the prospect I have been most excited about but where does he fit? With Mitchell in CF, Weimer in RF and Yelich in LF, is there room on this team for Frelick? Not to mention Chourio knocking on the door I feel like one of these guys becomes expendable in a trade. Maybe with Winker on his one year deal there is room next year to have those guys rotate as DH? Yelich for sure isn't going anywhere with his contract so really its two OF spots for 4 guys. Thoughts?
  17. jonescm128
    With (likely) only two years left of Woodruff/Burnes tandem, I would like to see the Brewers make some big moves to try and capitalize on having an elite top of the rotation.
  18. jonescm128
    Looks like less of a fleecing if you add in the Hader deal. Hader for Contreras, Rogers, and Gasser.
  19. jonescm128
    I can guarantee you the organization has not thought about this at all. You just grabbed arguably the best young catcher in the game.
  20. jonescm128
    I think there is a chance that might be it. Atlanta is shouldering a ton of the cost for acquiring a premier catcher. A's will get Pina, Muller (ATL #1 prospect), Tarnok (ATL #6 prospect), and Ruiz (MIL #9 prospect)
  21. jonescm128
    Wow.
  22. jonescm128
    Yeah if Atlanta is shouldering most of the cost then there is a chance we get by with giving up much less. Pina, Ruiz, Muller, and Tarnok is a solid haul.
  23. jonescm128
    If Ruiz is it then a statue of Matt Arnold needs to be put up in place of Bob Uecker as the face of the Milwaukee Brewers.
  24. jonescm128
    Okay then its definitely not just Ruiz...right?
  25. jonescm128
    I don't think so. That position is too much of premium for the Brewers to send a young, controllable piece away. I believe Arnold when he said they would like to keep the core intact.
