    This qualifies as kind of a "meh" move to me. He might be able to physically throw multiple innings but I'm skeptical of him really being a multi-inning reliever with his splits against rhb. I think if he can stick as a permanent part of the bullpen and be a reliable loogy then it's a win. They tried for the most part of the season last year to get that guy and it really never panned out. Hopefully he can be that guy. As others have said, the option, team control and small relative salary are appealing to the team. The aspect where they're counting on him getting RHB out is where there's a leap of faith required from me. I have to believe they have an adjustment in mind that they're confident in. I believe Stearns when he says they wanted a mulit-inning guy to fit in with what they're doing with the whole staff.

    I may have missed it but I don't think anyone has hit the mark on this one yet. He's a rubber-arm guy who can go multiple innings. That's the the first thing Stearns mentioned about him. They let Jennings and Cedeno go because they were 1-2 out guys. This move further signifies the ongoing transition to a pitching staff of undefined, multi-inning roles for all. As I've been saying for months now, if the starters aren't going to be counted on to go 5-7 innings, you need to supplement them with an entire staff capable of going multiple innings.

    Phillies still playing checkers.

    Well you should believe it because in a press conference when asked why the Bears offer was chosen over others, Reggie McKenzie came right out and said they went the offer they deemed likeliest to result in the highest 1st round pick.

    One thing that's been shown here and all over the internet is that even when people get insight into the team's evaluations, they'll still maintain that their own opinion is superior.
  6. True Blue Brew Crew
    I think its the topic being discussed that's the problem, not which side anyone is on. It's like a soap opera in here.
  7. True Blue Brew Crew
    If it wasn't obvious before, it should be now. They're moving away from specialists and one out guys. This post is not directed at anyone specific.

    Excellent post. Before I got to paragraph four, my fingers were already warming up to type the name Derek Dietrich and then you went ahead and provided him as the example. He's just one and arguably the best example of how they can shift gears. But your overall point about how these decisions have to be made is spot on.
  9. True Blue Brew Crew
    Jon Heyman on Twitter... Otherwise interpreted as we made him available but we're asking for way too much.
  10. True Blue Brew Crew
    We shall see. My bet is that he'll get a two year deal from somebody. Even the 1 year offers he'll get are better than an incentive deal.
  11. True Blue Brew Crew
    What would be Schoop's motivation to do that when on the open market he'll get multiple years of more guaranteed money that he'd be offered in incentives? There's no guarantee he will get multiple years or more $ than what the Brewers would pay. That said, there's no way he's agreeing to something with the Brewers now. He'll make the rounds and see what offers he gets. He's 27 years old and one year removed from receiving MVP votes. He's going to get multi-year offers with more guaranteed money than any potential 1 year incentive-laden deal that probably isn't even on the table.

    Heck Cleveland reportedly has 3 SPs on the table that are projected to match if not exceed Thor's 2019 projections and none of them would require trading Hiura.
  14. True Blue Brew Crew
    Not surprising and what I expected.
  15. True Blue Brew Crew
    The strategy is to build a sustained winner. I agree the cash should be spent eventually, but the correct time to do it is dictated by opportunity. Last winter the opportunities came along, it remains to be seen if similar ones will arise this year. +1 This.

    Here's each of their contract status'... Kluber 2019 - $15,200,000 2020 - $15,500,000 * Club Option 2021 - $16,000,000 * Club Option Carrasco 2019 - $9,750,000 2020 - $9,500,000 * Club Option Bauer 2019 - Arb $11,600,000 projected 2020 - Arb $19,000,000 projected All things considered, my guess is the Brewers are most interested in Carrasco.
  17. True Blue Brew Crew
    Right, and a note for everyone to consider, anything over $105 million will be an all-time franchise high. Mark A has repeatedly signed off on going over budget when the team was in position to contend. Money will be spent. But you also have to remember the Brewers have a lot of options under team control before they even explore free agency. It might make more sense to find out where they're weakest come July and take on salary then.
  18. True Blue Brew Crew
    I've reached the point that I'll be mildly surprised if the Brewers don't sign Dietrich.
  19. True Blue Brew Crew
    So is calling the opinion of other posters "laughable", or any other of the dozens of condescending remarks you've thrown out there over the last few months. I barely post here so I surely rank far down the list of offenders especially when I read so much condescension throughout the forum. I believe I just read a zinger you threw clancyphile's way. In your 5000+ posts, I'd bet you have more condescending ones than the entirety of all my posts. But I'm delighted to know I've made such an impression on you. I suggest that you put me on ignore to benefit us both, because we're way off track now.

    Is this a good thing? It was just a anecdote for anyone who cared to search the connection online. It has nothing to do with Rottino's ability as a major leaguer. He was actually a pretty great story and I know there are people here who would remember him. But you apparently wanted to go in a negative direction.
  21. True Blue Brew Crew
    I'd love to hear me some inside stuff but the best I'm privy to is scout opinion. The Brewers scout that my uncle is pals with has a feel for where they value certain players but scouts get blindsided by the front office all the time. My uncle was an active scout many years ago and still knows how to identify talent. His connections come from friendships with those still in the game. For those who remember Vinny Rotino, my uncle is the one who got him his tryout with the Brewers. He also used his Marlins connections to get Rottino a shot there in 2009. He was Rottino's summer ball coach and a longtime Mets scout.
  22. True Blue Brew Crew
    From what I can gather, his defense is average at 1B/2B, a little below average at 3B, and downright bad in the OF. All of which could be potentially softened/improved with the Brewers defensive positioning prowess.
  23. True Blue Brew Crew
    Heck people probably think I'm bashing Woodruff but I even said that if Woodruff is part of a deal to get MadBum, there would have to be additional pieces to the deal.
  24. True Blue Brew Crew
    This. The deal would have to be expanded for a major prospect to be heading to SF.
  25. True Blue Brew Crew
    Well, Peralta for 1-year of Bumgarner would be pretty darn close. It's so far from reality that I know it won't happen and that's what I need to focus on.
