    At this point I think 2019 Hiura was a product of three things. Pitchers not knowing how best to attack his flawed swing, the 2019 baseball, and a BABIP that was over .400. Take away the luck, a baseball that was a joke, and the lack of familiarity from the pitchers, and this is what you have left. A very flawed hitter that strikes out too much to succeed at the big league level.

    Good to know the Brewers announcers think Shaw has been great against righties. I guess I have a different definition of greatness.
  3. Simba2020
    Yardley did it with smoke and mirrors last year, WHIP and FIP not very good. This year I think we are seeing pretty much the real Yardley. Hint, he's not any good.
  4. Simba2020
    Taylor showing Hiura how it's done after being recalled.
  5. Simba2020
    Don't think he'll be on the team long enough to make it. I wouldn't bring him back again this year. Hopefully in the offseason he will tear it down and try to rebuild a new self. Otherwise, he's toast.
  6. Simba2020
    My bet is Taylor likely to be recalled unless Cain just had a cramp, which I doubt. Seems like an IL trip almost a given.
  7. Simba2020
    Sadly, this is could be Hiura's best game of the season. Made a couple of decent plays at first, hit the ball hard twice and has now played LF.
  8. Simba2020
    First start in center……he’s not used to making that throw Maybe so but he's played almost 800 innings in the outfield in his career and that was about as easy of a throw as you could get.
  9. Simba2020
    Lousy throw but nice play by Urias to set it up.
  10. Simba2020
    I don't think so. Urias needs to add value in the field. His bat isn't good enough to be limited to full-time DH duty. I don't think so either. Just the way he's piling up the errors it might be the best spot for him. We aren't exactly oozing with DH options.
  11. Simba2020
    I think with them having just added him to their 40, it's almost imminent. Really think they rushed Hiura back up. He wasn't even really down any sufficient amount of time to work on anything. With the work I think Hiura needs to do to make him even a possibility at the big league level, I don't think those adjustments can be made during the year. He's going to need the whole offseason.
  12. Simba2020
    Maybe Urias will become our DH next year not Hiura as so many expected when the season started. Although I would expect him to be the regular 3b next year unless we go out and get somebody.
  13. Simba2020
    Well, it should be 3-3.
  14. Simba2020
    Now that's a shortstop.
  15. Simba2020
    I haven't seen every game played by Adames but his defense doesn't look that strong either. Urias is at best a 2b.
  16. Simba2020
    Nothing but strikeouts and weak popouts from our slugging corner infielder.
  17. Simba2020
    Time for Keston to walk it off.
  18. Simba2020
    Suter doesn't pitch well with inherited runners. Makes sense he's the go to guy in extras.
  19. Simba2020
    Thought the same thing every time I've seen him this year. He's gone with the pandemic work at home never be seen by anybody in public thing to heart and never went away from it.
  20. Simba2020
    I had said my hope was that he would actually struggle in the minors. I truly believe his only real hope of being a useful hitter again in the majors is if he undergoes a massive overhaul. Maybe his approach works in the minors, but once major leaguers figured out his weaknesses, it just doesn't cut in at the big league level. But he has to admit it to himself and take it upon himself to make adjustments. But with his "hitting is the easy part" mentality, he may never do so.
  21. Simba2020
    You could also just sign a random 17 year old player, kind of irrelevant that a team would trade you one for a guy you are going to release anyway. I don't follow. How exactly is it irrelevant, that doesn't make any sense. The Brewers were going to let a big league player go, and instead of receiving nothing in return they got a lottery ticket player. Weird that you're creating fictional scenarios to argue that receiving a player instead of receiving nothing is a bad thing. It's irrelevant in this sense. I've repeatedly said I suspect Quintana was signed for $10,000. Don't know, just likely. If that is the case, there is no difference in saying we traded McKinney for Quintana or sold McKinney to the Mets for $10,000 and then signed an equivalent player for that same amount. Either way, it's not a needle mover.
  22. Simba2020
    I'll admit there is a greater than zero percent chance that Quintana will make it to the majors and an even greater chance that he will become a prospect that will turn into a real tradeable asset. And that's a fine return for the Mets new cleanup hitter. However, I won't say the farm system is suddenly better because we added a $10K signee (assuming that to be the case). If that's all it took, why not just go out and sign 50 other similar players? There's a reason that doesn't happen.
  23. Simba2020
    Agreed. The addition of any high school aged soon to be DSL minor leaguer is completely worthless. (Could actually argue that they provide negative value in that it costs money to field DSL teams and they have produced almost no big leaguers for the Brewers over the last decade or so) #8 - Eduardo Garcia #9 Hedbert Perez #12 Luis Medina #13 Carlos Rodriguez #16 Jeferson Quero #20 Jesus Parra #29 Pablo Abreu Nearly 25% of our current Top 30 play or have played for the DSL Brewers. Thank god for wasting all that money, imagine our system if we stopped spending money down there. I'll still say that Quintana singed for $10K as that's what most players get. They have to fill out rosters to play the games and they do so with guys that virtually have no chance. The above listed players got collective signing bonuses of nearly $6 million so you likely can't compare them in any way to Quintana.

    You don’t know that……just because he wasn’t a high bonus player doesn’t mean he won’t become a player……just like paying a huge bonus doesn’t mean you are getting a future star…..as we well know. Obviously the Brewers see some potential in the kid or they would have picked someone else or just taken cash. It’s a crap shoot……we got Aguilar on waivers……so did the Marlins…….Nelson Cruz was DFA and nobody wanted him……you just never know….. chances are the kid won’t make it…..but our system has another player that it didn’t have a day ago……so that’s not a bad thing. I swear it seems some people would rather have gotten nothing for a player we had to release. Well nothing is almost certainly what we did in fact get. Comparing a guy who has never even played a professional game even in the DSL to Aguilar or Cruz is pretty ridiculous.
  25. Simba2020
    There's probably a good chance Quintana got $10,000 to sign his deal. I doubt the Mets outbid the Brewers for his services. Our farm system isn't any better today than it was yesterday.
