    Yes, there is plenty of room between Woodruff/Burnes and Nolan Ryan, I have seen deGrom mentioned twice here today and I think he was a guy we looked at as Misiorowski's ceiling when he was brought up. But as he breaks velocity records with seemingly every start I am sure I am not alone in dreaming of even bigger things from Miz. Maybe he is a freak of nature who actually won't blow his arm out, Randy Johnson is another lanky guy that comes to mind who pitched forever. On the other hand, in our division alone we have another young flamethrowing phenom in Greene and everybody's favorite generational talent in Skenes so I try to temper my HOF expectations 100 innings in. If there is number that Miz would agree to right now the Brewers might regret not paying but it is hard to see the Brewers going 100+ million on a pitcher who they control for 6 years.

    Yes, salaries are growing so fast it just doesn't seem like big number for a 1 year extension. They declined with Quay but he is not an edge. Also, I think their cap situation looks better next year than it did this year at Quay decision time. Now they have their starter opposite Micah for 2 years and can develop the young guys in the rotation around them. I am fine with this, it's similar to the Watson extension which I think paid off.

    Yes, offense is paper thin but if luck out with health on the oline and WR's I feel we are OK. Defense needed some new starters and they have addressed it.

    FWIW the Packers did give Patrick a 2 year extension
  5. OldHeidelberg
    Yes, would have rather done a pick swap like giving Tampa our 4th for their 5th or something so we are not giving up a player for 7 spots. But Gutes did say McClellen really starting to stick out for them as the pick got closer but you have to get those right.
  6. OldHeidelberg
    Yes, that is just nuts. This is a guy the Vikes picked up in free agency a couple of years ago. I feel like what is reported can't be true. Two 3rds?

    I didn't watch last night for an obvious reason but reading this morning the Vikings pick was a real head scratcher. #39 on JosephC's list above and broke his foot in offseason. Looking forward to tonight, sort of expect the Packers to move up and snag a player they like higher in 2nd round since they lacked first rounder.

    Yes, we paid something like $32 million for 2 years of very little production from Rhys Hoskins. It didn't cripple us and even if Pratt busts this won't either. The Brewers need to make these deals when they can for top prospects. Maybe a little early and not the toolsy prospect Chourio was but he isn't getting as much as Jackson so price seems about right.
  9. OldHeidelberg
    Maybe Yeli is back as the regular in left so Sanchez can DH more. They need some power to replace Vaughn/Chourio and Sanchez is the best bet they have there right now. I guess we will find out soon enough.

    At least Bauers should get a chance to keep his hot spring rolling. Trying to find any silver lining....
  11. OldHeidelberg
    You have got to be kidding me. We get this on opening day??? 😡
  12. OldHeidelberg
    Do both Koenig and Hall have options? I think Koenig yes not sure about Hall. I would guess it would be Hall since Koenig has been high leverage the last couple of seasons but I think I read here Koenig has lost velocity this spring. Edit: Yes, Hall has an option remaining

    Last 6 opening days: Woodruff Woodruff Burnes Burnes Peralta Peralta Sort of the beginning of the end of the Big 3 era, Hopefully, we have another wave coming with all the talented young starters we have now.
  14. OldHeidelberg
    This is why I have really struggled to get back into Badgers buckets like I used to be. Just get back into sweet 16 once. As usual I thought this year was different. 😡
  15. OldHeidelberg
    I was surprised how much they are paying him too, he has been released 2 consecutive offseasons. But maybe bringing in him and Franklin are an attempt to just put more vets around Parsons and hope for more consistency from the defense. At least they are trying something different, just bringing back Quay and Gary wouldn't give me a lot of hope for improvement.
  16. OldHeidelberg
    I wonder what the deal is with Rasheed Walker? He is by far the best FA still available and waiting for the money to dry up doesn't seem like a sound plan. Maybe the market isn't what he expected and the Packers could still bring him back?
  17. OldHeidelberg
    Willis signs with Dolphins 3 years $67.5 with 45 guaranteed. I think that should net us a 3rd?
  18. OldHeidelberg
    Yes, seems like too much for him but salaries are skyrocketing and you need to bring some of these guys back. I suspect Enegbare will get something similar if the Gary talk is true. Assuming Morgan can play LT at least you can pencil in a starting oline now.
  19. OldHeidelberg
    I am surprised by this, he is still considered a solid 2 way edge and while not worth the contract it doesn't seem like a huge overpay. I guess they weren't happy with how he finished but Parsons is coming off ACL and LVN has been a disappointment. It's not like we can tank in 2026 for a top 5 pick.
  20. OldHeidelberg
    They are projecting Willis at $20-30 million per year. He is projected the top FA here as well: Top 101 NFL free agents of 2026: Who are the best players available? Remember back after the Baltimore game when the consensus in the media seemed to be he was still just high quality backup and that had not changed? $8 million per year? It will be interesting how much he actually gets,
  21. OldHeidelberg
    We just have to hope it is load management, it doesn't sound like a setback. But it's not good considering the same type of report happened last spring and it was July before he pitched for Brewers.
  22. OldHeidelberg
    Just completely handed the game to them. Unbelievable.
  23. OldHeidelberg
    Not for those players of course but if you were to say for a 5.5 WAR slugging 3B on an $8 million expiring deal and a bottom of the rotation starter with 5 years of control sure.
  24. OldHeidelberg
    I didn't like giving up Houser either, similar to Myers he was a useful MLB pitcher. But he was awful for the Mets that year and we still have Crow. He was also a lot more expensive than Myers.
  25. OldHeidelberg
    Count me as one who thinks giving up Myers is a little underrated here. He has had proven MLB success, it would not be shocking if Mets get more WAR out of him than we get out of Sproat. But they weren't giving up 12 years of control for one so I can see why we had to include him. That said, if we had to trade Freddy this seems like a very nice return. Williams sounds like a fantastic prospect who is on the rise. I would say that is the difference from the Burnes trade, Hall and Ortiz had already lost some prospect luster where these 2 seem to be rising.
