    I wouldn't move Adames. His natural position is SS. He has been a SS his entire career and plays very good defense so why move him? Does anybody know if he can play 3B or if he would accept the move? Turang has played various positions in the minors. Better to move him than Adames. The best move would be to find a young 3B through a trade, sign and trade Wong, and put Turang at 2B.

    I think Wong is gone, especially if Stearns can somehow swing a trade for a 3B. Turang is raking in the minors (.286/.361) and the Brewers need to get a good look at him. Urias' best position is also 2B. With almost half the team arby eligible, that $10M could go towards other more needy positions.

    IF (and it's a big IF) Stearns can somehow find a 3B through trade, then I think Wong is gone for sure. They have to find a spot for Turang, and if it's not 2B (Urias at 2B) then it's in Peterson's role as a super utility guy. I think McCutchon-Rogers-Narvaez are gone for sure. Depending on what CC thinks of Brosseau I think Peterson is going to get more than what Milwaukee wants to pay and he leaves too. Rogers just isn't worth the projected $9M he'll get so Stearns has to find another lefty in the pen besides Suter (I think he'll be back). Houser is questionable unless they trade Burnes for a huge haul.

    I don't think Stearns is going to re-sign Wong. Urias' real value is at 2B. I think the fall-back plan is putting Turang at 2B and returning Urias to 3B, but that might be a down grade over this year. In order to improve the club, Stearns needs to find a decent 3B and Turang goes to the Peterson role as a super utility guy. I too believe Peterson is going to command too much money for the Brewers on the open market next year.

    Ashby is like a lot of young guys, he lacks control both in the zone and out. However with Ashby it's more with his fastball than his off speed stuff. He doesn't have the ability to throw his fastball up when he needs to or to locate down and in on a righty. Like the article said, he gets killed with 2 strike pitches because he doesn't have the control of the slider/curve to throw it over the plate but low or to back foot a RH hitter. Instead he catches too much of the plate and hitters are looking for the breaking ball. His change-up needs a lot of work because he throws it too high in the zone most of the time. He has all the talent to be a TOR pitcher if he can learn to control the upper part of the zone and get an effective change-up.

    Like a lot of fans, I was way off when I thought Stearns could have done a lot better for Hader. At least they dumped his salary and maybe Ruiz could compete for the CF job next year. Rogers and Lamet need to drastically turn things around if either is going to help the pen right now. Lamet's ongoing arm/elbow issues has seen him struggle for the last couple of years. He was bad last year after another round of arm problems and has been horrible (9.49 ERA - 2.02 WHIP - 6.6 BBs/9 IPS) this year since he returned from yet another arm injury. According to the Padre sites, they were getting ready to DFA him. Rogers hasn't been good for two months (In June/July giving up 16 earned runs and 26 hits in 19 IPs) and had to be removed from high leverage innings. Next year Rogers will be gone in FA. Lamet will be making over $5M in arby next year and unless the Brewers can find something the Padres couldn't, I don't see him being around.

    Except Pomeranz sucked as a starter and then improved when he went to the pen. Norris sucked in the bullpen and we are...keeping him in the bullpen. Except Norris hasn't really sucked in the bullpen. His ERA- of 104 out of the pen is slightly below average, but his FIP- of 75 & xFIP- of 76 (which hold much more predictive power over a sample of only 62 IP than ERA does) place him within the top 20-35 relievers in MLB over the last two years. Any good number for Norris comes from facing LH. CC has to hope he can severly limit Norris' exposure to RH batters. He sucks against RH (.333/.412/.520). Nobody in baseball would ever confuse Norris with being anything but a low level reliever. He's better than Perdomo or Milner, so it is a plus for the team.

    WOW! Now the Yelich trade looks like a complete armed holdup. Yamamoto's big dip in velocity and disasterous 2020 caused the Marlins to worry about his past arm problems and DFA him. Brinson-Diaz-Harrison: all three have career batting averages below .200 and whiff at around the 30% rate. This could go down in baseball history as one of the worst, most lopsided trades ever.
