I completely agree, and the come from behind win after Hiura’s game tying HR in Pittsburgh against Vasquez is a great example of one the Brewers likely lose without Hiura on the roster. It’s impossible to know if outcomes would have been different, but it’s hard to imagine the bat wouldn’t have helped ignite some big innings over the past few weeks. I know this is going to sound crazy and the odds are probably less than 2%, but with each day that goes by without Hiura on the roster the thought has slowly creeped into my mind that it may not be Super 2 protection or defensive development holding him down. It is starting to feel like there is at least a very small chance they plan to entertain trading Hiura for a big splash such starting pitcher under team control for a few years (i.e. Noah Syndergaard). Again, not likely at all, but seemingly slightly more conceivable than if he was on this big league roster right now. If the idea was to move him he is more valuable now than at any other time before. The dude has stud written all over him at this point. The reality is they were trying to save some cash and it's bite them in rear. It's why nothing about this has made sense since he got shipped out.
