    My point is that the Brewers feel like they’re being reactive instead of proactive with issues of this kind and their hitting prospects. If there is an issue that upper level pitchers will exploit, don’t wait until the hitter reaches upper levels to address it. Given how this franchise has failed to develop above-average hitters for the past decade, it feels like there’s plenty to criticize with their approach; letting Wiemer reach the majors without overhauling his swing is evidence they’re still not doing what needs to be done with their hitting development processes.

    I read concerns about his swing playing at the MLB level before he made his debut. It didn’t come out of nowhere. From Spencer: From MLB: https://www.mlb.com/news/what-to-expect-from-joey-wiemer-in-mlb “However, his whippy swing remained kinetic headed into his second full season, and upper-level pitchers took advantage. Wiemer struck out a career-high 30.2 percent of the time and swung and missed at 20.4 percent of his pitches faced (second-highest swinging-strike rate in the Southern League) with Double-A Biloxi last year, and that heightened concerns that the movement and torque of his work in the box would keep him a below-average hitter in the end.”

    I agree that Wiemer needs more seasoning in Triple A but it begs the question: with all of his wonky swing mechanics, why wasn't this addressed at some point over the past three seasons?

    So it turns out that our master server is getting hammered by bots. If you're unfortunate enough to be allocated to that server, that's why you're seeing site slowness. We're working on it and hope to have it resolved by tomorrow.

    Jon Heyman wrote that a rival executive has said "everything is on the table" when it comes to the Marlins improving their roster in 2024. Does this include even Luis Arraez? The Marlins have several intriguing pieces, including the two-time batting champion who flirted with hitting .400 for the first half of the 2023 season. Arraez, still only 26 years old, has spent every at-bat of his career with an average over .300 (excluding the first, obviously). Arraez is something of a throwback player whose primary concerns are health and defensive positioning. He's an adequate second baseman in his mid-20s but has often found himself at both first base and DH due to lingering injuries in his lower body. The Marlins also have Jesus Luzardo in their rotation and have been linked to trade rumors over the past few months. Luzardo is entering his age-26 season and posted a career-high 178.2 innings pitched in 2023 with an ERA+ of 125. He will not become a free agent until after the 2026 season.

    Okay, it turns out I was on the right path. One of our server instances (of four) was pegged at 99% CPU usage. We've added more instances (now six) and told the offending server to stop being naughty. Let me know if things are still slow in an hour. It takes a little time to spool up the new instances and properly redistribute users across them.

    I have a ticket out for this, hopefully it will be resolved soon.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    Wow, if it ever gets this bad, someone please let me know. I'm not seeing this kind of lag AT ALL and if I don't have knowledge of it, I will assume things are chugging along as normal.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    We have multiple servers. I wonder if one of them is wheezing. That would make sense, maybe you were automatically shifted from ol' wheezer to a fully armed and operational battle server.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    Where are you located? No need for specifics, just a state or region is fine.

    I'm checking in on general site health to see if people are seeing ridiculously slow load times recently. I haven't seen this at all but I know at least one user in the New England area has. I'm in the Twin Cities and have no issues. It wouldn't surprise me if most of you in WI are also not seeing issues. But what about you east coasters? (if things are slow for you, please speak up no matter where you live)

    I think it's possible to get either Lee or Julien - but be prepared to pay a steep price - but not both.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    If nothing else, I hope I can figure out what offers the Brewers are rejecting.

    FWIW, I'm hearing Burnes talks are starting back up in earnest. Still no idea if a deal gets done but after the holiday break when everything basically stopped, real talks are happening again.

    I'm not too worried about the Rays. They're really smart but so are the Brewers. Stearns did alright with the Adames trade.

    Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported in today's roundup that the Rays, despite having a very busy offseason already, are looking to shop arbitration-eligible first baseman Harold Ramirez. Ramirez, 29 years old, has two seasons of team control remaining. The big righty has posted an OPS+ of 121 over his past 896 plate appearances (the 2022 and 2023 seasons). Ramirez has primarily played first base, corner outfield, and DH the past two seasons. His defensive metrics at first base are concerning, though in limited playing time (only ~250 innings the past two seasons). Is this of interest to the Brewers? Do his defensive limitations more than offset his badly-needed bat in the Crew lineup? View full rumor

    Hahahah, we use B-Ref's automated linker tool and it's... error prone at times.

    Honestly, maybe I don't miss David Stearns all that much. There's no upside in this deal, IMO, especially in the same offseason when Kevin Kiermaier signed basically the identical deal.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    I'm sure that conversation will be nuanced and tempered.
