    One quibble. Urias is in a different stratosphere as a prospect than Dubon. This doesn't soften the blow. This is like being reborn.
  2. True Blue Brew Crew
    Once they didn't re-sign Grandal, the easiest place to improve was SS as pointed out numerous times. Whaddya know, they go out and get a SS.
  3. True Blue Brew Crew
    So much for Arcia being a uniform model. Kidding, kinda.
  4. True Blue Brew Crew
    Numbers don't lie.

    His twitter history in general is pretty ugly. And there were some posts made here that raised flags. Good riddance. Hopefully no other players in the Brewers organization get linked up with this guy. I'll leave it at that.
  6. True Blue Brew Crew
    Did this guy imply on Twitter that JJ had some sort of personal setback and then it turn out simply that Jeremy decided to find other representation? This all feels pretty gross.

    If either of those centerpiece prospects flop (Franco or Robert), you're quickly teetering towards trading one of the best players in baseball for the same pile you gave up to get him in the first place when he was just a emerging player. That seems like a quick route to getting fired. If you like that sort of thing.

    If it were a bat it would have been mentioned in one of the countless stories done about the logo and its designer over the years.

    I see we've reached the irrational, hand-wringing, season over 4 months before it starts, point of the offseason. Is it me or did the crazy come early this year?
  10. True Blue Brew Crew
    Yes they would and that wouldn't go into the Brewers revenue stream. Social areas in place of low revenue (often empty) seats will meet the same demand that exists for those who go to the stadium for the tailgate. I can't be the only one who runs in a social circle in which the ladies of the group would never attend a game if not for tailgating. When I go with the guys, we spring for great seats and use them. When we bring our wives and girlfriends, we buy the cheapest tickets we can and then take in the action from various social spots throughout the stadium. Do people here not realize that if not for the large number of social reasons other than the game itself, Milwaukee would not repeatedly rank in the upper half of MLB attendance? Tailgating helps drives baseball in Milwaukee. And finding new ways to tap into the various reasons that people attend other than the game is smart business. It doesn't bother me one iota that there are people who don't like the fact that there are thousands in attendance each game who aren't focused on every pitch. There's nothing more annoying than falling down drunks spread all over the concourse. It does bother me that people don't understand why those people are important to the Brewers bottom line.

    Badgers aspirations aside, if the Gophers wind up in the BIG10 Championship, I hope they take down Ohio State so the Wisconsin excuses against the Buckeyes hold no water.
  12. True Blue Brew Crew
    Yours is definitely the more traditional, normal route no doubt. But I can see it from the other side. When I'm the one buying the tickets, I sit as close to the playing surface as possible and take in the game from my seat. When I'm there with a large group and the seats are in the upper levels, I enjoy taking in the game from various vantage points and socializing along the way. It's still much better than a bar. When there's a rally there's nothing better than finding a spot with a clear view of the game and cheering along with 40,000 strong.
  13. True Blue Brew Crew
    Just the same, who the heck cares how paying customers take in the game. If anything, having dedicated spaces for the roamers will probably lessen the instances of people coming and going from the seats during the action.
  14. True Blue Brew Crew
    The question then becomes do you think Minnesota has more talent than Wisconsin? I sure don't.
  15. True Blue Brew Crew
    I don't understand why it bothers you? Were those your "go to" seats? If it helps the team generate more revenue by bringing more people through the gates, I'm all for it.
  16. True Blue Brew Crew
    When he was a pro bowler with Buffalo, they still let him walk after just one season there. Now he's going through teams like a turnstile because his performance isn't worth even a year's worth of headaches. In the Cardinals case, he wasn't even worth a week.
  17. True Blue Brew Crew
    That and there's almost no cost to it. He plays one of the most replaceable positions in the game. He's been a good LB'er and he'd more likely be cheap to pick up. Also...BJ Goodson. After sitting on the streets for two and half weeks prior to being signed by the Arizona Cardinals, Zach Brown has now been released for the 2nd time this season. This latest divorce coming just 5 days after signing with the Cardinals. If Brown finds a new home this season it will be his 6th since 2016. No, nothing up with this guy though.

    Nice exaggeration of what I said, hope it makes you feel better. I've heard many things second and third hand about the inner workings of baseball organizations and how teams go about informing players or their release, trades, declined options, etc from people who have worked for MLB organizations. Nowhere did I state the Brewers plan for this offseason. I simply stated that the Brewers are one of the teams that reaches out to players personally when they make decisions such as these with players such as Chase. They made the professional effort in his case to give him an idea of why he's not in their plans for the 2020 season. Chase could've said many things about what was shared with him. He chose to say some telling things. At least they were telling to me given the context of the fractional knowledge I have of how the Brewers do business.
  19. True Blue Brew Crew
    Agreed. This much potential roster turnover inevitably means shopping in the bargain bin to fill some spots. I'm perfectly fine with that because replacing Arcia and Shaw and getting better results shouldn't be hard even at rock bottom prices.
  20. True Blue Brew Crew
    I don't know a better way to put this other than to simply say that you're wrong.
  21. True Blue Brew Crew
    Some teams cut ties without so much as a phone call. Some teams make contact and give players a reason why they're moving on. The Brewers are one of those teams that take the more personal approach. Chase's statement indicates to me that the Brewers were somewhat forthcoming with what their plan is going forward and why he didn't fit into it. And Chase clearly not only respects them for doing it, he vouched for what they have in mind. Like I said, they couldn't have told him their calling up the farm and going with the youth movement because the prospects aren't there to call on. And Stearns couldn't have told him names of pitchers they intend to sign because there's no way it could be that specific. Free agency is too unpredictable. The direction Stearns gave him could only be vague. It could be as simple as they want to fill the roster with ground ball pitchers and that's not Chase's strength. It could be that they feel they need to add an ACE and need to save every penny in other places that they can. Or it could be something like a whole new approach to getting 27 outs each day. I'm excited that they're shaking things up, that's all.
  22. True Blue Brew Crew
    They just let go of two guys that weren't exactly broken and you guys think taking the same step with complete non-producers in Arcia, Shaw, and Nelson is opening up too many holes to fill? Just about any warm body could replicate what those three gave the Brewers last year. It wouldn't make any sense to move on from Thames and Anderson but stay glued to all 3 of Arcia, Shaw, and Nelson. It may not be obvious to everyone yet but this team is shaking things up in a big way.
  23. True Blue Brew Crew
    Giddyup!
  24. True Blue Brew Crew
    I'm right there with you. If Thames and his .851 OPS is deemed not worth $7.5 million, I'm specifically having a hard time seeing them give Shaw $4.7M.
  25. True Blue Brew Crew
    The difference between Moose and Grandal on those projections is an extra year and 7 million per. Hmm, they just declined to pay Thames $7.5 million.
