    Rather than put any money towards Garver or lose prospects and money for Jimenez, I would like to see the Brewers put any money that would go to them and go all-in on Hoskins. He has a career 920 OPS and .400 OBP against lefties and fills a big need. Let the young OFs play more and use Yelich at least 50% of the time as a DH.

    Way too much money for a guy like Garver who has never seen even 320 ABs in a season and is a DH. I would much rather see them put that money into Hoskins.

    I would like a trade with the Dodgers (Adames & Burnes) but not for Rushing or Bruns. Trying to make a catcher a 1B now weakens an infield position. Rushing hit .228 and whiffed 31% of the time. He hit some homers, but what is he going to do against better pitching. I'm not a fan of Bruns because of his control issues. I think a far better trade would be Sheehan, Pepiot, and Busch. Two potential starters and Busch could play 1B with his big power bat.

    Grissom faied miserably twice at SS for the Braves. That's why they got Arcia. I wouldn't want Arcia back unless he was a throw-in. I'd rather see the young guys play. Lux is coming off a season long injury and is questionable how he will bounce back.

    Glasnow is going to cost more than Burnes next year. He's a very real injury risk and the Brewers would have zero chance to extend him considering he would start at over $25M. No thanks. The Brewers could do much, much better just trading Burnes, plus save the additional money it would cost to pay Glasnow. Trade Burnes for Pepiot, Hurt, lower level prospect.
  6. wntrtxn21
    Please remember the draft pick is not automatic. The Brewers have to make a qualifing offer which is probably going to be over $21M after next year. Burnes and Woody would turn it down, but would the Brewers want to keep Adames for 21-22 million dollars? Trading Adames seems like the best option even if the return isn't great. I still think Milwaukee could get a pretty nice return for Burnes in the off season. It would have to be to a big money team that can afford to re-sign him, but there are options.

    Dorrian is a name you never hear, but he may be worth a look. Gasser is a lefty for the pen if nothing else. My prediction is Gasser and they bring back Toro (Toro goes down when Rowdy is ready).
  8. wntrtxn21
    Just say NO to both Melendez and Blackburn. Melendez is a .217 hitter and whiffs at a 30% rate. I don't know where his solid approach is, but he's not worth a spot on the roster. Blackburn is terrible. His last 5 games: 23 IPs/32 hits/16 ERs/12 BBs -11 HBP. He's much closer to a trip to AAA or DFA'd than being worth trading for.

    It would cost the Brewers approx. $9.5M for the remainder of this year. Milwaukee would look to trade him in the off season or be on the hook for probably about $26M next year. That's money that can be better spent trying to extend Woodruff or Adames or going towards a FA next year.
  10. wntrtxn21
    Jimenez is due almost $17M (w/buyout) next year. He's would be the Brewers second highest paid player. He's not close to worth it.
  11. wntrtxn21
    I can't see any way they trade Chourio for 1.4 years of Alonso. Plus Alonso will be making near $18M next year.
  12. wntrtxn21
    Dalbec's biggest problem and the reason he's not playing for the Red Sox is the same reason Hiura isn't with the Brewers, the huge number of strikeouts. Dalbec is over 35% for his career and actually a little worse against lefties than righties.

    Brewers ranking (WAR) 1B / 27th --- 2B / 22nd --- 3B / 23rd --- SS / 19 --- DH / Last --- RF / 27th
  14. wntrtxn21
    Busch is Hiura at 2B with a weak arm and little range. He's a LH hitting 1B/DH. I'd take him as a 1B and use Tellez as the DH. I am not a fan of Owen White. Let Texas send him to the Dodgers and the Dodgers send Sheehan/Ferguson to the Brewers. Hurt and Knack have good potential. For the Royals trade, I can't see the Royals liking anything about the deal because they would have to include a bunch of money to get the Brewers to take on Perez's $44M + contract in 2024/25. They aren't getting much of a return either. Since Busch isn't a 2B, I wouldn't let Urias go for Silseth who has been not much in the big leagues in his two tries. Candelario would be a nice get for next to nothing.
  15. wntrtxn21
    No way I'd trade a lot for Soler. He has a player option contract for $9M next year and if he continues what he's doing, he will for sure opt out leaving the Brewers with nothing.

    Bass had to know he was bringing a ton of negative publicity to the Jays organization and himself, yet he made the post and later on doubled down on what he said. He has the right to say what he wants, but he has to face the consequences of being an idiot. You don't call a certain group of people, who happen to be different than what you prefer, evil and demonic. Then apologize to those folks and the organization, then later come back and say you stood by the post and didn't think it was hateful. Now add he was terrible this year (4.68 FIP - 1.40 WHIP - 11 BBs in only 20 IPs) and Bass should easily understand why he was DFA'd. I can't see any team wanting the bad publicity that comes with Bass.

    I don't see what it could hurt to give Hicks a look. Winker and Taylor have done nothing and maybe a complete change in scenery would help Hicks. He's a switch hitter and is a better OF than Winker. It sure wouldn't hurt to try something new to give the Brewers some spark.
  18. wntrtxn21
    I think your deal would be a huge overpay by Milwaukee. You're correct about Leiter. His stock is dropping quickly. I don't see White as a really good starter based on what he's done so far. He certainly isn't doing that great at AA (4.24 ERA/1.29 WHIP-more than 4 BBs per 9/only 7 K's per 9). If anything Saggese is a litle under valued.
  19. wntrtxn21
    It looks like clancy is assuming the Brewers are going to just give up on 2023 and beyond. I don't believe the Brewers can take the huge risk of far away propsects for their biggest trade chip in many years and still remain competitive. They are very thin in starting pitching, especially with Ashby out and re-signing Woodruff very questionable. Giving Burnes away and receiving no MLB ready pitching makes this year's team and 2024 considerably worse.

    I think the backup infielders are Brosseau and Miller. Brosseau did well last year and plays 1B against lefties and can also play 2b/3B. Miller is a RH option at all three too. I don't see Voit who who is very limited defensively an Ks a bunch or Toro who is a terrible hitter as making it. IMO Hiura is done with Milwaukee once they signed Voit. I am hoping Frelick has a great spring and starts in CF/RF with Mitchell and Taylor the other two OFs. Naquin may be the 4th OF if they want to keep Frelick down. Right now the SPs are set. The very weak pen has: Williams/Bush/Cousins/Strzelecki/Milner/Payamps/Junk. I hope Arnold can do something to improve the pen, but I'm not holding my breath.

    I was there. DO NOT get tickets in the 500's! All those are way up in the third deck. We sat in the second deck, first base side, 216L which were pretty decent seats. Getting in and out of the stadium was a little tough. Concessions are priced about like Amer. Fam. Park, but it didn't seem like they had as many choices as Milwaukee.
  22. wntrtxn21
    Frelick's scouting report has his speed at 70 and arm at 50, plenty good enough for CF or RF. Winker is a butcher in the OF. Having him as a 4th OF is playing with fire, especially if Mitchell (I assume you have him as the CF) or Taylor (RF) are dinged up. Anderson plays 3B most of the time with Brosseau playing 1B against lefties. I hope Frelick, Mitchell, Taylor, Yelich are the opening day OFs. Brosseau, Toro, Caratini as the bench along with one of the OFs. Winker the DH.
  23. wntrtxn21
    Why would the Brewers want to add another prospect OF in Dominguez? Gil is coming off arm surgery and won't be available until July or later, but a decent throwin. I'd like: Peraza/Volpe/Cortes/Beeter/Gil. Brewers get two high quality SS/3B prospects, a good SP replacement for Burnes, a very good prospect in Beeter, and a wild card in Gil who could prove to be valuable when he gets back.
  24. wntrtxn21
    I'm not sure the Dodgers woud still be that interested in Burnes. With Bauer now back, Syndergaard, Urias, May, Gonsolin, Kershaw, Pepiot, and Stone/Miller in the minors, they have a pretty decent rotation already. Maybe if they dump Bauer. Now Adames could probably bring back some pretty good pitching.

    Apstein is an idiot. She's a New Yorker whose lone theory for baseball is to just spend, spend, spend. Her last statement in the article shows what an idiot she is; " the best way to push open a door is to stack loads of cash in front of it". The value of a franchise going up doesn't mean the team can spend more and more and more. If your house just got reassessed for $125,000 more, does that mean you have an additional $125K to spend? How much more do you think MA should spend?
