    How worried should we be about Luis Pena, this feels like more than a slump at this point?

    I think it will be interesting to see how payroll shakes out for next year. We will owe Yeli, Freddy, Chourio, and Ashby around 47 million and likely 16.5 in buyouts for Woody, Rhys, Q, and Jansen. I don't think our arbitration numbers will be huge after maybe Contrares and with the success of the team the payroll should go up some. We have a pretty solid roster for next year already on paper, it would be nice to add 1 big name (or keep a guy like Woody) instead of adding a bunch of lower price depth options. What would we think of taking a flier on a guy like Shane Bieber if Woody can't be re-signed. He had 1 nice start and could be a high end starter on a contract like Matthew Boyd signed this offseason. Bieber and Woody have pretty similar careers but since Bieber will only 6 or so starts in I doubt he will require the same commitment as Woody. Bieber is also 2 years younger than Woody

    I'd like to see Luke Adams, Payne, and Josh A.. Dinges and Quero wouldnt be bad but with the wear and tear of catching just getting either to an offseason program might be better. I think Mike Boeve might be a good option kind of in a similar boat to Wilken last year. Letson would be a good idea since they don't over work guys. There aren't as many obvious arms.

    I don't mind the Fedde signing at all. He was really really good last year. He had a 5.6 WAR. Now clearly he isn't the same but if anyone can make a few quick adjustments to a pitcher it is our staff. I would say he looked ok today but give our staff a couple weeks and I bet you he can be like Quintana the rest of the way. I am not to worried about Megill, I get this isn't a nothing injury but if he can get back even a week before the end of the year I think that is fine. Abner has been so good and the overall depth is so good that we will be fine.

    With the injuries to Adams and Wilken is there a chance Burke could get a week or two in AAA at the end of the year. Vaughn has been great but having a lefty option close to ready would be big for next year. I said this when we drafted him, but he and Nick Kurtz are really similar and Kurtz has been amazing for the A's.

    I would wait, Mone and Turang can fill in for a week or two, if that creates a snowball effect then maybe in a couple weeks I'd entertain the Pratt idea. He has been better the past couple weeks but I don't think that is enough to warrant a move to the show.
  7. jay87shot
    I feel like he had a very similar year last year, a good first month or so, struggled with consistency for 50 games or so and figured it out the last couple months. I have been envisioning him as a slightly more athletic JJ Hardy when developed. With his size the Brice Turang comp is good but I think when/if he adds a little bulk he will be more like a version of Corey Seager.

    The problem is who do you move down out of the top 10-15-20 for him. There have only been a few top prospects who haven't performed well (or injuries have moved them down). I would guess Kuehner is a top 10 prospect in like 10 other organizations but for us I have him borderline top 20 still. The same can be said for guys like Melvin Hernandez and Manny Rodriguez, both have been amazing as teenagers but are both borderline top 30 guys because our system is so deep (velocity is a reason as well).
  9. jay87shot
    Wow, those stats are wild especially when it is an 11 week stretch that everyone is doing that for.
  10. jay87shot
    Rhys would at least be a good bench bat when rosters expand and he has playoff experience so it would be nice to get his leadership up. I get that with Vaughn playing so well he really isn't needed.
  11. jay87shot
    The article I read basically said a few player weren't happy that he takes to many days off around the all-star break. That is definitely concerning, but depending on the specifics not a deal breaker (he has had some injuries). I wouldn't really want to wreck the clubhouse but the bat (defense as well) is great would be really tempting. If we do make a move I would go for a star like Marte or Jose Ramirez (I know not available). I get that we would likely have to give up Made or Pena for him but there could be some work arounds. Idea 1= Dbacks get Freddy, Joey, Henderson, Wilken The D-backs would get much needed pitching in Freddy and Logan Henderson with a couple young bats going back. Idea 2= D-backs get Joe Ryan, Chad Patrick, Twins get Cooper Pratt and Jeferson Quero, Tate Kuehner Similar to the 1st deal the D-backs get pitching, the Twins get 2 high end prospects plus more for Ryan and we a star bat with out giving up Made or Pena. I still don't know if I would really do either of those deals because I don't think we need a big bat but maybe come the playoffs my mind will change.

    I think the nice thing with the current lead and September roster expansion is that you can just give Sal a day of here or there especially around a day of and hopefully that is enough. Same for some of the overworked guys like Ortiz, Contreras, Yeli, etc., it's not the end of the world to have them rest a few games down the stretch with Perkins, Seigler, and Jansen around.
  13. jay87shot
    You got to like the ability to catch as well, it will allow us to DH Contreras more and also PH the backup catcher if need be. My guess is that they will try and have him get some OF reps in the summer as well. He fits the Brewers mentality and philosophy to a T and make a great bench player with a similar upside to Isaac Collins.
  14. jay87shot
    I am a card collector at around 40 Chourio rookies. Just bought a Yount and Molitor rookies and at 5 Hank Aaron's. The Made, Payne, and Pena cards are nice only worth a buck or two unless they are special inserts or you do get autos, good luck.
  15. jay87shot
    Good lord this team is as much see tv as I can ever remember. Go Burger Boys Go.
  16. jay87shot
    Ultimately I do trust Woody more but it kind of depends on the last 2-4 starts off the year. Whomever is pitching best should get game 1. I am not against Misi possible getting a game 1 start either but much much less likely.
  17. jay87shot
    What are we thinking Misi for like 2/3 innings and Hall for 3/4?
  18. jay87shot
    It's "The Burger Boys" time.
  19. jay87shot
    Wow, this team is playing so cohesively right now. Everyone is contributing and it seems like everything Murph and Arnold do has worked. Collins is quickly becoming a serious rookie of the year candidate to go with Misi, Durbin (possibly Patrick and Henderson is the had more time). The Jansen trade has clearly worked in getting William back on track at the very least. DL Hall's 3 2/3 innings were huge in saving the pen today after 2 shorter outings. With 15 games in 15 days that outing is really perfect.
  20. jay87shot
    This is the type of guy that we are great with. He throws 96 (98 or so in his really good 23 season) with a decent 2nd pitch. I guarantee we add a cutter or something this offseason and tweak him back up a mph or 2. He has had some injury unluckiest but is an easy guy to see a path back towards success.
  21. jay87shot
    We have had some really good bullpen but this one without Hader or Devin is by far the deepest. Maybe added in Yoho (or Henderson) come September and just let him throw in the blowouts to get adjusted to big league hitters. We have 5 guys (Uribe, Miller, Koenig, Ashby, Mears) that I would be OK with in the 8th inning of a playoff game. Add in Misi possibly if they decide to use him in the pen come playoffs.
  22. jay87shot
    I wouldn't give up Pena or Made for anyone other than Gunner Henderson who is untouchable I would think. It might be a better idea to get a vet at a lower price than a young starter at SS. Someone like JP Crawford or Kim (TB) would upgrade SS for a year and not cost as much and give Pratt, Pena, and 7Made another year to grow. I wouldnt mind going after Neto, Abrams, or a different young SS but if we have 3 guys that can/will be that good in a year or two why pay extra.
  23. jay87shot
    I would love to re-sign Woody. I think 3/60 would make sense if he finishes close to how he has started. The problem is how to address the 10 million dollar buyout. If we can go 3/60, someone else will probably go 3/75 or 4/90-100 and he would get the 10 million buyout on top of it. Can we give him a qualifying offer when he declines his end of the mutual option? I have been underwhelming the impression we could, but don't know how that works on players declining options.

    Wow, 111 mph HR from a relatively small/thin 18 year old in High A. Its not to hard to dream on another 20/21 year old debut (or 2) in a few years. It also nice to see Will Childers having success in AAA. I would think he would have a good chance at getting some appearances in the bigs next year.
  25. jay87shot
    I would be nice to see Freddy put together a couple quality starts. Woody, Priester, and Mis are gaining as the top 3 for a playoff series.
