Now that yelich is having an above average season what do you do if someone comes knocking at the door with a mid-level minor league prospect and willing to take that contract off your hands?
While they weren't huge drop offs he was down on pretty much every category from his 2021 season
My personal belief is he will never approach that 2021 season again without significant changes.
Brewers and Packers are significantly different situations. The Packers have had a great deal of success but we've come to expect the most painful end to the season imaginable where is in 50 years of Brewers history success has been rare and basically unexpected.
If they drop below 500 and fall four or five games back I could see them become sellers but I'm worried that as long as they're above 500 and sniffing first place the management team will be too scared of the public backlash of a sell-off.
Not sure I would go quite that far and I am as big a Debbie downer as there is.
That 5 game sweep by Pittsburgh a couple of years back was pretty horrid as well.
A lot of the rule changes really neutered what council was good at in particular the addition of the DH.
So much so that now he's nothing more than a cookie cutter manager like 90% of them.
I really wish CC would have left weimer at the bottom of the order where he was.
Started to have some success and was getting pitches he could handle.
Now that you moved him up he's probably feeling more pressure to produce.
Let the rookie be where he was
Trivia note.....Richard Hunt of Muppet fame is the guy on the shoulders.
He and Jim Henson both died to young. He was the voice of "Scooter', 'Janice', 'Sweetums' and a few others
And it's not like adding one bat is going to make much of a difference.
There is something wrong from the top down with how bad this club has been offensively for the last 5 years or so.
