  1. The hits just keep coming…Miley done for Tommy John surgery & Junis to the bullpen upon return (maybe). Who are the guys at AAA with opt out possibilities? Is a guy like Chad Kuhl with the WhiteSox an upgrade? Sounds like his wife’s cancer treatment played greatly into his struggles last year.
  2. I'll be there (28th straight opening day).
  3. Record: 85-77 MVP: Yelich and Hoskins Cy Young: Peralta ROY: Chourio Top Newcomer: Hoskins All Star(s): Contreras, Hoskins Breakout Player(s): DL Hall Disappointment(s): Ortiz doesn't take advantage of the 3B job early on and multiple guys get a shot there (Dunn, Monasterio, Frelick) Bold Prediction(s): Hoskins leads the NL in home runs. We sneak into the playoffs and win a 1st round series.
  4. Early on, I thought Arroyo would find his way to the Opening Day roster due to his experience and lack of a remaining option. But am I correct that I haven't seen him in game action much lately?
  5. Got to admit... the thought of Frelick on the infield has already moved on longer than I expected. Is there a chance at the start of the the season?
  6. Nice first inning for Frelick. Triple in the top half and diving catch to rob Trout in the bottom.
  7. Looks like Junk is staying stateside...
  8. I expected at least one more move, but admit if I had guessed, this wouldn't have been in my top 10 guesses. So in a normal 6-game week...Sanchez catches one, DH for 2 more with the other three games DH coming from the extra outfielders?
  9. Am I missing anyone that could be in the big league infield (other than 1st base) as a starter or utility option? Adames - SS ;Turang - 2B, SS ;Ortiz - SS, 2B, 3B ;Black - 3B, 2B ;Miller - 2B, 3B ;Arroyo - 3B, 2B, SS ;Dunn - 2B ;Capra - 3B, SS ;Jones - 2B Will someone be moved or is this back to the "everything will work it's way out"? Is a deal with the Marlins... Edward Cabrera for J Payamps + one of Adames/Turang/Ortiz doable?
  10. The deal doesn't excite me, but truthfully I'm not really surprised at the return. With that said, something else is coming with Adames or a FA signing...right?
  11. Not surprisingly, this is the move I've wanted since the start of the offseason. Will it work out? Who knows. But it does represent the biggest "go for it" move the Brewers have made in quite awhile. I'm fine with the opt out after year one as all along I was hoping just to buy another year for Wilken to progress.
  12. I understand this thought, but an article from MLBTraderumors yesterday gives me a little (maybe blind) hope. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/01/boras-clients-who-signed-after-january-in-previous-offseasons.html The article details the Boras clients that have signed after January in the past. They include: JBJ to the Brewers in March 2021 Moustakas to the Brewers in February 2019 KRod in both February 2015 & February 2014 Lohse in March 2013 So maybe it's our time again.
  13. Filling the void at 1st base for the power needy Crew, it took until mid-January for a national writer to see Rhys Hoskins as a fit for the Brewers. While there's been plenty of talk here from posters, I believe this is the first time a writer has mentioned it. https://www.foxsports.com/stories/mlb/bellinger-snell-best-landing-spots-for-11-mlb-free-agents View full rumor

  15. Exciting list of players. How many could have a realistic chance of making the opening day roster? 2? 3? 4?
  16. With this event now canceled, will the Brewers still announce the Rhys Hoskins signing on Saturday even though they won't have the fan event to do it at? Hey, I can dream of the pro wrestling-type entrance of a new signee. (Or should that be the Kevin Mench-type entrance 😃)
  17. I've considered adding Belt, but it brings up a couple of questions. 1. As discussed in the article, how much time can he handle at 1st base? Is he strictly a DH at this point of his career? 2. What is the team's plan for Jake Bauers? If the Brewers see something in Bauers, then Belt becomes redundant. Better to pair with a RH 1st baseman (Another reason I'd prefer to spend the extra on Rhys Hoskins)
  18. Was wondering the same thing as I could see Boston try to make a splash with a Burnes trade. Would it have to be quantity over quality type return? Assuming they wouldn't deal their top prospect, SS Mayer (#11 in the top 100) but maybe headlined by the second best, 19-yr old OF, Roman Anthony (listed at #35, just one spot ahead of Misiorowski). Top pitching prospect is Wikelman Gonzalez, number nine in their top 30. A 21-year-old RHP with a big league ETA of 2025.
  19. And Brewer fans rejoice 🙂
  20. #11 jerseys being mass produced as we speak.
  21. This tweet from the Brewers today matches the same one from Contreras last week. Something up?
