Thursday off day send Ashby back out
-
Anderson an underrated, at least by me, workhorse in this pen.
-
The article did say it was top 50 THIS season. I originally read it like the off-season NFL lists where it is more about player value. So now I am reminded of a previous post pointing out that Collins’ WAR is the same as Suarez with less playing time. 🙂
-
I am sure maybe ESPN thought about sticking Peralta or Turang in at the end of the list to fit the best team in somewhere. But it's more interesting that they don't have a top 50 player. We have some young guys who will rise fast in the next couple of years.
-
For sure, Woodruff was above Freddy in the pecking order when he got hurt and has done nothing but prove he belongs back in the #1 starter role. I just trust him more and I am guessing most would agree.
-
Mears and Koenig should be available and Miller can close if needed.
-
Ideally, you want the DH to be a platoon position but like you said in above post with a healthy OF we don't want to sit those guys either so Yeli becomes the full time DH. I don't think you ever want to sit your best hitters much, they need AB's, and Yelich does have a career .758 OPS against LH. He has been not so great this year but last season hit them well. Besides, things are going great! 🙂

Just speaking for myself I could care less if Hoskins is understanding or not. He has put up 0.8 bwar while we are paying him like 32 million the last 2 seasons. And after a good start he was slumping again before going on IL if I am remembering right. Yelich was just as hot as Vaughn is now for a month or so just a few weeks back. Hoskins isn't taking any playing time away from Yelich,

I keep thinking this team with its low slugging % is like a typical Badgers buckets team, eventually they will go cold and slump for a couple weeks. But is just doesn’t happen, we are 8-2 in last ten and none of them involve the 11 game streak anymore. Fun times, I am about as disinterested in Packer camp as I can remember. Night game on FS 1 tomorrow, I don’t see many TV games so glad to see that.

Traded Cortes for Miller in a round about way? I am down with that, really was thinking they should trade Quintana or Cortes for ML help if they could find it and bullpen makes sense.

Trade deadline day thread
OldHeidelberg replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I guess we had to trade Cortes but for 28 year old guy whose bref page doesn't jump out at me -
Trade deadline day thread
OldHeidelberg replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
LOL anyone want to speculate on what THAT would cost -

If we do there will be outrage here at the cost, it will be a long night on BF :) -

I am going to be surprised if Kwan doesn't get traded. -
Yes, but even assuming we were involved it could just be they liked the choices the Mariners offered better. Still, no top 100 prospect, we could have outbid them if we wanted.
-
Yeah, I know, and I think he just did before a day off last week. But he doesn't always and is our biggest power threat this year. I would just rather see him in the lineup than Jansen I guess, maybe just need time for the new guy to grow on me a bit,
-
With the day off tomorrow it's not too likely Yelich will sit. I don't see Jansen pushing $26 million Yelich into a DH platoon quite yet.
-
Starting to feel like this really isn't going to happen. I would trade Hendersen if it wouldn't take any more but he has been such a fast riser in the org that the team may not be willing to give him up. Maybe if Chourio is out for a while but that doesn't sound like it is the case. But it's possible Zona just won't get as much as they hope and we can still offer a better package with lesser prospects, rentals don't get the return they used to.
-
I think someone said 6 from Priester and 3 from Ashby in yesterday’s game thread. Filling in for Hall but like opposite day. 😀
-
I keep looking at Ashby’s ERA with disbelief, feels like he gives up runs every outing. Hall not as much but I still don’t trust him either. Sort of head scratcher when you watch the movement on Ashby’s pitches.
-
Thanks I see now, hamstring…
-
Wait, what happened to Chourio?? Miss a month???
-
Ortiz was traded for Schoop.
-
Trap series for sure. Crap…

I think Suarez value may be comparable to Machado in 2018 who we were all interested in at the time. Machado was younger and more highly regarded but Eugenio's big season probably makes up the difference. Looking back Dodgers gave up 5 prospects including a top 100 guy in Yusniel Diaz. he didn't pan out but Baltimore has gotten 5 WAR out of Dean Kramer. We didn't have the prospect depth the Dodgers did back then but we could easily come up a package that matches that. Ideally, Zona wants a controlled advanced SP and Myers, Henderson, or Gasser could be the big piece of the trade. That may be the advantage we have over other suiters. It's 2 months, I don't really think Durbin is an issue. He will still get playing time and will be back next year.
