You forgot Collins in the OF. I see Mitchell being moved in a trade with Perkins the backup OF. Murphy moving Turang off 2B. I definitely don't believe Murphy will move Turang off 2B. Frelick (RF) - Churio (CF) - Contreras (C) - Yelich (DH) - Vaughn (1B) - Wilken (3B) - Collins LF) - Turang (2B) - Ortiz/SS aquired in trade (SS) Bench: Perkins - Adams - Durbin - Haase (no way they p/u Jansen's $12M option)

Minutiae, Oddities, and Random Baseball Queries
wntrtxn21 replied to Playing Catch's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
The popularity of maple bats hs a lot to do with the problem. Maple tends to splinter a lot more than the Ash bats that were used almost exclusively years ago. Ash bats would crack, but rarely splinter the way maple bats do. I think you're right about composite bats in the near future. -
I was really bummed that Arnold did nothing to upgrade the infield depth. If anyone goes down all they have is Monasterio (.184/55 OPS+) and Zeigler (.185/21 OPS+). Arnold had plenty of opportunities and the prospect depth to do it. I understand doing next to nothing to upgrade the lineup, but getting bench depth was doable.
-
Agreed! They got a 28 yr. old minor leaguer and got rid of Cortes' remaining salary. While many of the top teams are getting better, Arnold sits on his thumbs.
-
Too passive! Jansen won't change much. Still a glaring need at SS and 3B, pen could be upgraded. Arnold has to get creative and find somebody not on the obvious trade block, but it looks like he's going to stand pat and once again hope to get out of their first round in the playoffs.
-
No, no, no. He's scheduled to make OVER $200M (about $25.5M for the next 8 years). No thanks.

Labor Discussion - Salary Cap, Local TV Sharing
wntrtxn21 replied to Austin Tatious's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
There will never be a salary floor w/o a reasonable salary cap. Unless MLB nearly copies what the NFL model (salary cap and floor), I don't think there is any way of making it close to fair for everybody. Without a reasonable cap under your proposal, small market teams would be forced to massively increase their spending just to stay even to where they are now. Plus they would lose their prized younger players a year earlier. Big spenders could further distance themselves from everybody else. I don't think a maximum salary could ever be implemented for legal reasons. With an NFL type system, teams could spend their money any way they wanted as long as they were at or under the cap and bad owners would be forced to up their payrolls to at least meet the floor limits. -
Henderson is probably a good start because the Royals need starters. However with Witt Jr. at SS for them long term. Pratt wouldn't be much of a second piece. I believe a deal could be struck with some different pieces because it doesn't look like the Royals are going anywhere this year. However, I'm not sold on Garcia at short. He's a -12 UZR/150 there. The Brewers get a better hitter but weaken their defense up the middle.
-
I think that's the last we'll see of Yoho for this year.
-
He just needs to sit and get healthy. Talk about predictable, Yelich once again rolls over an a ball and ends the inning. He too has done nothing since the break. Tough to get any offense going when you 3 and 4 guys are having a hard time getting the ball out of the infield.
-
Did you mean to put this comment all in blue? Cruz is the exact opposite of a great defensive SS. He's the worst SS in all MLB with the glove. Last year his UZR was a -8.4. worst for any MLB full time SS. His career UZR at short is -16.3.
-
Agreed. Since the break Yelich has been terrible and Contreras just needs to sit. Anybody who doen't think that Arnold needs to add a bat need only to look at this series.
-
*** is wrong with Yelich lately? Whiffs and roll-overs almost every time up. He looks like he did to start the year.
-
Where does he fit in? They have a lefty DH in Yelich, so not there. Tauchman isn't much with the glove so not in the OF either.
-
No thanks. He's going to make $ 31.5M per year for the next 6 years.
-
It would be like running a 9.7 sec. 100 yard dash and 5 days later running it in 11 secs. . Miz lost it over 1/2 inning. It would be different if it was over 4-5 IPs and fatigue set in, but here it was only 1/2 inning.
-
Just hate to see Koenig come in lately. Since mid June he's allowed runs in every other outing plus allowed runners he inherits to score far too often. Right now he's good for only blowout type games where it doesn't matter.
-
Very worrisome when Miz loses 4-5 mph on the fastball over just one inning. I don't know if he was aiming it or something more serious was going on, but it's something to be concerned about. 10 walks in only 18 IPs is a disaster that finally caught up with him.
-
Devers refused to play 1B for the Red Sox. He said he is a 3B, period. The Giants get a primadonna DH.

Brewers Trade Aaron Civale To White Sox For Andrew Vaughn
wntrtxn21 replied to wibadgers23's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Another Arnold garbage trade. Not even getting salary relief for Civale makes no sense. Milwaukee would have been much better off keeping him until the deadline then at least unloading some salary to a desperate team. -
Zero chance I'd even think of McMahon, even if it was a 1 for 1 trade. McMahon is a product of Coors Field. He's a .214 hitter away from Coors. He also would cost Milwaukee far too much for his value (about $39M through 2027). If the Jays would move Clement, Arnold would have to include a pretty good prospect and Civale to get them to even think about it. A lot of interesting ideas above.
-
With free agency coming up, Civale is rightfully concerned about the financial hit he would take if moved to the pen. I think the best way to handle this would be to let his agent try and find a deal the Brewers could live with while Milwaukee's front office activly tried to move him too. They have enough depth to do it. Now days I don't see any player resenting him doing this. They all realize it's a business.
-
The Brewer whiff boys are out once again. 11 Ks in only 18 outs. Extremely difficult to win when they only put 7 balls in play in six innings. The Brewers meager offense has now scored a total of 5 runs in 33 innings.
-
Peralta will be far too expensive to re-sign, so I would look to trade him at the deadline IF Milwaukee can get immediate, cntrollable help (3B or SS) as part of the return. Getting a bunch of low, low level maybes like the writer suggested from Cleveland doesn't help for years and maybe never. The Brewers aren't that far away from contending and Yelich and Contreras aren't getting any younger.
-
I could see getting Urias if the cost was minimal. Since he's a FA next year the A's couldn't be looking for much and at the very least he's an upgrade over Monasterio and Durbin. No he's not going to make a ton of difference, but he could be a good fill-in guy next year for not a lot of money.
