    The Packers under Gutekunst are (wisely) a 2 contracts before 30 organization. They're not even considering a guy who will be on the doorstep of 30 after one contract with a first round pick. Under Gute the Packers have drafted 5 players in the first round in his four years. 4 of the 5 were age 21 and the other was 22. You can safely cross Raimann off your lists. Unless maybe he drops to the 2nd round where contracts max out at four years.

    The team obviously saw something they could fix with him as they have with many pitchers, especially relievers. They very well still may feel the same way. And just last night he pitched a clean inning (1 BB, 2 K) in a game they couldn't have won without clean innings from their pen. So he literally just helped them less than 12 hours ago.

    It's not an experiment. It's literally what they have to do. They have to develop cheap young talent and pitching from within. They had to give Peralta and Burnes and Woodruff their shots at some point. Good starting pitching is ridiculously expensive to come by in either dollars or prospect capital. Neither of which the Brewers can ever spend recklessly. 1 of 3 panned out in 2019. I still believe the 2 that didn't, have bright futures.
  4. True Blue Brew Crew
    This is a gross mischaracterization. Peralta and Burnes were supposed to be fixtures in the rotation. And leap of faith or not, Jimmy Nelson was going to get his shot at some point this year as well. All the talk coming into this year was how they had accumulated all this SP depth and how there were 9-10 legitimate rotation options. They're scraping the bottom of the barrel at this point because just about everything that could go wrong, went wrong. What is a small market team with a limited budget and a depleted farm system supposed to do? I don't think for a second that Stearns sees this is a recipe for sustained success. It's simply being creative with limited resources.

    3 arms added today. Are all 3 ticketed for Milwaukee? If so, who's on their way out? And where are they headed - San Antonio or somewhere else?

    Without speaking to the additions of either Pomeranz or Black, I'll go on record as saying the Brewers will never regret trading away Dubon. I just don't see an effective major league bat there. He's a slap hitting version of Hernan Perez with less power. It's all upside with this trade if either Pomeranz or Black provide anything at all.

    I hope Yelich wins a 2nd MVP and that all 4 of Brinson, Diaz, Harrison, and Yamamoto go on to have successful major league careers. No matter how well any of those 5 people do from here on out, the trade has already proven to be the right move. Anything from here on out is too far removed from time of transaction to be predictable or foreseen with any high degree of certainty.
  8. True Blue Brew Crew
    Well, are you running around proclaiming the opposite of what you said earlier in an attempt to make it look like you knew something no one else did? His original comments were harmless. It's the current comments which are completely dreamt up. And it didn't require searching archives. They're comments from this same thread. Nobody put a gun to his asking for revisionist history about Jordan Yamamoto now that the latter is having some early success in the majors.
  9. True Blue Brew Crew
    It's not a dig, it's showing the truth. With Yamamoto doing well with Miami, he's on here telling everyone how he proclaimed Yamamoto was the piece that terrified him at the thought of losing when the Yelich trade was made. He said nothing of the sort. In general, everyone here should rest comfortably that the trade was a slam dunk, a home run. Even if all 4 Marlins end up contributing as major leaguers, we don't need people being revisionist about the deal. The Brewers got more than they possibly could have asked for. It's actually quite astonishing given what Yelich has accomplished that people are still looking back in fear at what was given up.
  10. True Blue Brew Crew
    It only took around 20 pages and approximately a dozen posts to finally detect some mild disappointment in losing Yamamoto... Terrified indeed.
  11. True Blue Brew Crew
    Seems revisionist. These were your first 3 posts in reaction to the trade.... If Yamamoto was the piece that terrified you, surely you would have talked about the pitching he would give the Marlins in 2-3 years. Looks like he wasn't included in your group of rising arms either. Just the positives of Yelich, no caution about the loss of Yamamoto. Not one mention of the guy you were "terrified" was included. You went so far as to say no TOP ARMS were included. So Yamamoto wasn't a top arm in your mind then?
  12. True Blue Brew Crew
    Given how skeptical people were of Hiura (a much higher rated prospect than any of Diaz, Yamamoto, Harrison) I find it pretty amusing that suddenly all three are a shoo-in to be significant MLB contributors. I'd bet on all 4 combined prospects not reaching 25 career WAR. It's way to early to be throwing around some of the recent comments off of one Jordan Yamamoto start. The Brewers almost assuredly fleeced the Marlins. Not because they didn't give up quality prospects but because no one thought Yelich was going to turn into prime Barry Bonds.
  13. True Blue Brew Crew
    Realistic? Realistic for Hiura is up by June this year solely to maintain control for one additional year and instantly be the 3rd best bat on the team. JMB, you've said similar things in the past including prior to this MVP showing in the AFL and it's apparent you just don't have a feel for just how special this bat is. If service time was a non issue he'd be in the opening day lineup.
  14. True Blue Brew Crew
    Yeah, this is right in line with what people were saying. No one was calling for the latter.
  15. True Blue Brew Crew
    I wouldn't say that. A lot of people were hoping/expecting his HR total to bump up near 30. He had 18 last year and if they were all at MP he would have had 8 more plus a lot of wall scrappers. Not hard to imagine his HR total being what it is right now...I personally expected him to float around 30 HRs a year with us. That is where a huge majority of his stat bump comes from. What is a little surprising is the .320 average to really juice up his stats. Personally I was expecting about .300 as a safe bet. I had just read the entire thread. Somehow I must have missed your prescient scouting report. I don't recall anyone projecting THESE numbers for Yelich or that he'd be the best bat in the NL. It was well known that MP would give a boost to his numbers. No one took it this far. The only one who should be tooting their own horn is the guy who put him in the MVP race when the trade was made.

    What a fun read. Some real cringe-worthy reactions in those early pages. As struck as I was by some of the over the top negative reactions, it was a fun reminder that no one saw THIS coming. I think one guy said he expected Yelich to be in the MVP mix. The Brewers have the best GM in baseball. Hopefully they'll be able to keep him.
