    Black would be a great DH to finish the year in place of Winker Maybe CJ Cron can be acquired via trade Anderson (when healthy) could help in RF & at 3B
  2. edfunderburk
    I saw Black live in one game back in May. His defense on that evening in Montgomery was excellent. His speed on the bases & with his bat were exceptional. I’ve recommended this promotion a few times on the game threads & in the transaction forum over the past few weeks. We need to move on from both Winker & Tellez ASAP. Black & a bat via trade make sense.
  3. edfunderburk
    I understand & agree Winker should be replaced as the everyday DH I’m not convinced that Hiura is the solution … but any change would be welcomed
  4. edfunderburk
    I hope Hiura is a “throw in” for any potential trade in the next few weeks so people will stop suggesting him as a candidate for promotion to the 26-man roster
  5. edfunderburk
    Good news - it’s JULY 👏🙌 You posted earlier than Winker has a 133 WRC+ in July
  6. edfunderburk
    How many ABs?
  7. edfunderburk
    Toro may be average at best defensively in a few positions … but Winker is terrible defensively & is washed as a hitter
  8. edfunderburk
    If the Brewers want to get creative - I’d love to see them bring up Tyler Black to DH
  9. edfunderburk
    Of the available AAA options, he is our best candidate with his switch hitting & defensive versatility He’s not great but he’s better than Winker or Perkins or Tapia
  10. edfunderburk
    This is not bad news for Brewers fans … Rowdy is a “good guy” but he’s been ice cold for months & is limited to first base & occasionally DH Anderson is a bigger loss because of his defensive versatility - he’s been above average at 3B & adequate in RH with his cannon arm Maybe these IL stints will lead to trades in advance of the deadline - which is good for us
  11. edfunderburk
    We need a LH bat …. Hiura also offers zero defensively … Toro makes more sense for now Hopefully Frelick gets hot & gets an opportunity in place of Perkins
  12. edfunderburk
    Time to cut bait with Winker & give Toro some at bats - especially with his defensive versatility
  13. edfunderburk
    I can easily think of 5 - maybe 6 -players on the current 26-man roster who could go away & I would celebrate: Winker, Tellez, Tapia, Perkins, & Mejia for sure I don’t recall a recent team with this many weak, bottom of the roster players I’d rather see Jahmai Jones, Keston Hiura, Abraham Toro OR a few trade acquisitions on the team in place of any of the above players In time - Tyler Black & Sal Frelick too I also wonder if Urias will ever figure things out - if so, he could also be an improvement
  14. edfunderburk
    I hope he gets right quickly - I have always liked his arm when healthy
  15. edfunderburk
    It would be awesome if - like Adames & Yelich - he got red hot … we MUST find offense somewhere
  16. edfunderburk
    Okay - thank you I personally believe that 90+ games is plenty of time for Winker on a one-year contract that expires at season’s end He has been terrible … not hitting for average or power … simply time to move on despite his pre-neck injury track record I hate to see Milwaukee wait until the trade deadline to make this change … those three weeks - against great teams - could be too costly
  17. edfunderburk
    Please explain - from your perspective - “how” they’re different
  18. edfunderburk
    My intention was to suggest that we desperately need to address our weak offense & the players who should be at risk include Winker, Tellez, Tapia (DFA candidates) & Perkins (option candidate) Sorry I wasn’t clear - & I’m aware this is an “injury” thread
  19. edfunderburk
    Based on all or most of the comments today - it appears only one bullpen arm is needed I still believe Winker, Tellez, & Tapia are legitimate DFA options & Perkins could be optioned back to Nashville Additionally - Monasterio or potentially Owens could be optioned if Urias or Toro catches fire & returns
  20. edfunderburk
    Pretty awesome that we only need one arm in the bullpen because of good performances by those currently on the team - excluding Mejia When Woody is healthy, Houser may bump to the bullpen … but I fear the magic may run out for Teheran & Rea before too long Peralta has also struggled as a starter much of this season … not sure he would fit well in the bullpen though as his worst innings are usually the early innings
  21. edfunderburk
    Yes - I agree & mentioned Justin Wilson as a replacement option for Mejia The minor league report had a reference to Wilson suggesting that it will likely be a while before he is ready to join the Brewers bullpen … that’s why I was think Strez
  22. edfunderburk
    I am aware of what you typed here … you didn’t answer my question - Does Winker “deserve” more time? He’s done NOTHING through 92 games to suggest he belongs on the roster THIS year
  23. edfunderburk
    How about Winker this year? Does he “deserve” more time? What are some better AAA bullpen options? I’m concerned that once we get past our “A” arms (Peguero, Payamps, Williams) that we may be in trouble - although Bryce Wilson has been good too I surely hope Peralta has a strong 6 innings + in him tonight
  24. edfunderburk
    Are you suggesting that “struggling” players aren’t allowed on the Brewers 26-man roster? If so - we may have difficulty filling out the roster No argument that Strez hasn’t pitched well recently - but his track record over the past year + has been solid Yelich was awful for three + years & was in the lineup almost everyday The same has been true for Winker this year - Adames too (until recently) So … looking at Mejia & several of the under-performers who have been added to the bullpen recently, it was my projection that Strez may return to add depth in the next few weeks … but I could be wrong 😬
  25. edfunderburk
    Two pitchers that could arrive shortly: LH Justin Wilson RH Peter Strzelecki
