    First, I don't expect Bobby Dalbec to miraculously turn into an All-Star, but with the black hole that is the left side of the infield offensively, I would bring him up right away, give him consistent starts at 3rd base and see if he can get on a hot streak to help the offense. Heck, I would bring him up today to face the LHP of the Guardians to see if Dalbec's lifetime OPS of .788 vs LHP could lead to some runs. Other than EMJ, is there another AAA player that can help with adding some slug to the current team?

    And then this follow up from McCalvy

    Buster Olney at ESPN says the Brewers could be "opportunists" this year at the deadline. Floats the idea that someone like Peralta could be a big deal (although adds that Attanasio's value of making the playoffs could lead the team in another path) https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/45098058/mlb-2025-season-trade-deadline-buster-olney-x-factors

    Trying to remember how many years ago it was when I targeted Dalbec as a power hitting corner infielder as a change of scenery move.

    88-74, Central Champs

    Is this lineup on March 1st the same we will see on opening day at Yankee Stadium?
  7. bensheeps
    The highs and lows of Jake Bauers in the first inning...3-run HR in the top half & then a 2-rbi single that clanged off his glove in the bottom.

    Margot becomes RH hitting OF vs. LHP when Perkins is traded for a 3rd baseman?
  9. bensheeps
    If Black is an option at 3rd (I'm not sure if I believe it or not), go the next step. Is Ernesto Martinez Jr. a realistic option for the backup 1st base spot? For those that have seen him in person, how's his defense at 1st? I know he can do the splits on his stretches to prove his athleticism, but how does his overall defense grade out? Is he good enough to be a late-game defensive replacement for Hoskins?
  10. bensheeps
    Robert Murray, who is usually very complimentary of the Brewers FO after his time here states his displeasure at the quiet offseason.
  11. bensheeps
    To those of you with a better handle on scanning predictive stats, how would you rank these three choices? Is it correct to assume DeJong would be the best fit?
  12. bensheeps
    Does the signing of Moncada (and the recent minor league deals for JD Davis and Tim Anderson) make Luis Rengifo from the Angels any more available? What would it take to get him?
  13. bensheeps
    brewcrewball.com with some possible trade targets for the infield. (Many names that have already been discussed here) https://www.brewcrewball.com/2025/1/27/24352486/potential-brewers-trade-targets-willi-castro-andy-ibanez-luis-rengifo-ramon-urias-brett-baty#comments While I lean to keep Turang at 2nd (the "if it isn't broke, don't fix it" mentality), I would welcome a move if it meant adding Brandon Lowe. Lowe would be my 2B/backup 1B with a possibility of more 1B time if Hoskins doesn't show improvement back to career numbers.
  14. bensheeps
    Mead is one of the blocked, former top-100 prospects I've considered as another body for 3B. Not sure what to expect from him as his limited MLB time has not been great.

    I keep coming back to a deal with Toronto as I continually see their abundance of infield depth and need for a closer. While some are concerned about Bohm's defensive shortcomings, how about a deal with Toronto that includes Ernie Clement, a finalist for the Gold Glove at 3rd base this year? A thought (baseballtradevalues numbers in parenthesis)... Brewers send D. Williams (9.1), Elvis Peguero (5.9) and T Black (12.0) Blue Jays send E. Clement (5.9), and S. Horwitz (28.0) Toronto gets their closer, a second bullpen piece and Black, a Canadian that doesn't fit with our defensive lineup Milwaukee gets a defensive 3rd Baseman (that can move to utility if Boeve or Wilken show they are ready sooner rather than later) and a LH 1st baseman to platoon/replace Hoskins in the future. I know some will be disappointed that Devin doesn't bring back a "bigger name", but I really wonder how much he will garner with only 1 year of control remaining.
  16. bensheeps
    Is Luis Rengifo of the Angels an option? He was off to a good start last year before hurting the wrist (that required season-ending surgery). Arbitration estimate is for $5.8million for next year before hitting free agency in 2026. Positives: Only one year deal leaving the possibility of Wilkin or Boeve taking over in 2026. Ability to play other positions on the infield if needed. Switch hitter with better career numbers vs. lefties. Questions: What will the cost be to acquire? Is the wrist ok (reports say he will be ready for Spring Training)? Are we ok with 3rd base not being a "power" spot?

    Perkins and Collins don't scream RH power off the bench moving forward. Thoughts...will the Brewers be more apt to hit one of the catchers in the postseason in those spots?
  19. bensheeps
    Mitchell coming up big!
  20. bensheeps
    Hoby of old!
  21. bensheeps
    Saw the movie on Saturday in Madison. Really enjoyed it. My son is planning to go today, if for no other reason to verify all my stories over the years are true.😁
  22. bensheeps
    The LEGEND continues to grow!
  23. bensheeps
    Nice win. Bullpen and defense as has been the case for most of the year. The knock against them has been, lack of power will hurt them in the post season...Not tonight thanks to Rhys.
  24. bensheeps
    Good things happen on the bunt. Now need a big hit!
  25. bensheeps
    Give Murph some credit tonight. Dropped Turang in the order even with RHP starting. Mitchell at DH with a big swing. Made the right move with Hall and Megill (even though I would have considered Hall for the 8th with two LH due up),
