Lewis is making $2.9M and is arby eligible in 2027. He's hitting .170 (BABIP .211) and not fielding well. He does have a little power and might be slightly better than Rengifo at 3B. However, I wouldn't trade Lara for him. Wilken maybe, or a collection of fringe prospects.

Great job by Ashby getting out of the minor jam. Mitchell's K's are quickly becoming alarming. He's whiffing at a 40% rate.

Sproat is the million dollar arm, 10 cent brain guy. Send him back to the minors to learn how to pitch. Why keep running him and his 7 ERA out there. Bring up Crow or Henderson

The Astros would laugh hysterically at your offer. They don't consider themselves out of contention. The A's are leading the division and they are one game over 500. Houston currently has 15 people on the IL and see the division as winable once their plethora of injured get back. Ortiz probably would have to be a minor part of a much better (and far more expensive prospect wise) package to get Pena.

Mitchell whiffs once again on a high fastball! He's going to have to make an adjustment very soon. Woodruff throwing nothing but fastballs and the Brewers are down 1-0.

With a black hole at 3B and SS, a mess right now in the pen, and questionable starting pitching, it doesn't look too favorable right now. The OF will be better once Churio is ready to go, so that's a plus.

87-75..... Fight it out for the last wild card. Win in the first round and lose the next. Too many weak spots in the lineup to be a serious W.S. contender. Woody is not looking good so far with the major dip in velocity, so the young pitchers have to perform right from the start.

Megill -- Uribe -- Koenig -- Ashby -- Anderson -- Hall -- Zerpa -- Sproat I believe either Henderson or Sproat will be the 5th starter with the other going to the pen as a long man. If Yoho has a very good S.T. he could take Zerpa's or Anderson's spot.

Don't get too carried away. This current team still has a black hole at 3B, a big question mark at SS, a question in the OF, and a lot of unproven starting pitchers. The young talent coming up is one of the best groups in baseball, but they are still unproven. I've seen three MLB rankings so far and none of them have Milwaukee with 90 or more wins. All have them have the cubs winning the division. However all of them have the Brewers making the playoffs. I hope the questions can be answered in S.T. and the Crew once again proves the pundits wrong.

KC increased their payroll by over $40M in 2015 to win the W.S... I have no idea what that would be in today's dollars, but they definitely spent some big time money (for those times).

Right now the Brewers need to see if Williams can hit well enough in AAA to contribute this year. Spring training doesn't say a whole lot because most pitchers are just working the kinks out and don't have their good stuff. Nashville is crowded with prospects so they'll have to figure something out, but I think Williams will be in AAA playing CF/SS/3B.

I would love to get Abreu if he's cheaper prospect wise than Duran. Abreu is a GG rightfielder and has power. Like Duran, he'd make Milwaukee better right away. Williams is still a ways away. He may or may not be of any help this year. He has to learn to hit AAA pitching before moving up. Mitchell is far to injury prone to be counted on and Perkins is a 4th OF.

Reese McGuire is still available. Lefty hitter with some pop. Also a decent defensive catcher. Great for a backup to WC.

I think this is underwhelming for Peralta. The Brewers needed to get a big bat to play OF or SS. Williams isn't anywhere close to that. He offers nothing that Milwaukee doesn't already have an abundance of: little guys with almost no power who can play multiple positions. Certainly nowhere near the bat that they needed. Sproat looks to be a middle to bottom of the rotation type pitcher. He can maybe get a spot in the rotation, but the trade does absolutely nothing for the Crew this year.

I don't see any use in Rodgers. His defense is suspect at every position and the bat is also highly questionable. Mono is far ahead of him and there are a ton of young guys nearly ready to contribute.
