Hopefully the lab goes Brrrrrrrr....

But we just picked up a hard-hitting third baseman.... I think he used to play shortstop and have a beard but now he catches everything down the line, he's got a great arm, and has found his power source.

Well this has been an absolute joy. I said it before and I'll say it again, I love waking up to these types of posts. Going into reading this thread I actually knew the trade details so the first four pages had me wincing a bit because I knew that the last 14 pages would be rough to read. Yes, Ragsdale is 23 years old,.... no, id be very surprised if he went straight into Major League Baseball (but that speaks more to the Cardinals depth than to Ragsdale's skill).. yes, there are developmental risk with Frias but the bottom line is we had to get pitching and we had to get starting pitching to eat Innings because the Henderson, Gasser, Crow, Sprout, and Drohan crew haven't built up enough innings. We sold high and we sold from a position of strength....not surprising for Arnold to do that. We actually get three relievers because I think that, based on reading a former Brewer fanatic article, Sproat will go to the bullpen and maximize his talents once through the lineup. Yeah the value sucks on paper but I haven't thought about Yophery one damn day since the Quinn Priestor (sp?) trade. Also Arnold is not operating in a vacuum... he has to justify the trade to ownership and to the scouts....there may have been some pushback but not enough to prevent the trade going through. I need to go read more about this Colorado kid with the long name.... but I am glad we did something... I just hope it leads to the Cubs flying the L and advancing to the World Series. 🙏

They both produce groundouts to second base. 🤷‍♂️

Turns out...not really. #43 in the pipeline coming from AA at a prime position is a healthy, winning bid.

You don't know what goes on in the clubhouse or on flights...

We are sending Quero away in a trade and need more than Darrien Miller/ANava to support GSanchez. Yoho was Cleveland's demand. We didn't balk because Murphy watched Yoho walk a lot last year. Blake was collateral damage because the 40 man roster and what's coming up next. Much bigger trade coming up soon.

Fischer could be LaPorta so...interesting....

I have been looking at this as who will most likely be playing once the mutual option on Yelich is denied in 2029. Does Arnold et al view Fischer as a Huira/Gallo with the strikeouts? Won't Made be at 3B if not Fischer...maybe LPena. Maybe Fischer is at 1B with/instead of BBurke. It will be Turang's last year and maybe Ebel or Pena will be at 2B. For now its Pratt at SS but others can project there. Catcher is Quero, Dinges, DMiller or someone not in the organization now. Churio in LF, Payne in CF, Lara or Arias in RF. Ragsdale apparently wants to be considered as an option. Tons of active pitchers will be here after Yelich is gone and the new ones too. For this exercise pitchers are harder to project and easier to acquire. As long as you are not giving up a easily projectable top of the rotation ace, the options are many...so how does Arnold et al view Letson? Oh yeah, we also have a few draft classes to make up for top 10 prospects securing an ace for this years team that actually hits and pitches pretty well. So I am ok with some sort of a combination of Josh AdamOutfielder, Ricky Money$, Knoth, Hardin, maybe Letson, or Jett, as I want a push for a RING and not just a summer of entertaining baseball. Josh is not phasing out Jackson, Jett would be nice but we have others in the OF and INF. Hardin will be forgotten like Reese Olsen and others will fill the rotation (looking at you Manuel Rodriguez) and life will go on... But man, o man...go spend some top 10s on Skubal and get a ring. Flags fly forever.

I do this all the time but it is Darrien Miller. That other guy was like 15 years ago...no biggie. I like the guys that you have listed for King, but I don't think that quantity wins this and its a lot for their 40 man (Rule V considerations and all) next year to absorb.

He will be top 30 for the Angels though...

Woo, Lance McC, Gary Sanchez, Shewmake, Bryse, and sadly Jake Bauers won't be back most likely. Rom, Stallings, and Baddoo shouldn't be back. Zastnstry, CGordon, and Perkins seem on the chopping block. AVaughn and TBlack are not without complications. Add to this list trade candidates from the minors and on the 40 man roster currently and I think eventually we will have enough open positions to keep who Arnold and Company want to keep and acquire moving forward. I am not a BWilken or Luke Adams guy but I will say that Luke Adams has done very well in AAA and will most likely be considered for the Jake Bauers slot next year.

This guy has Ryan for Knoth, Gasser, Quero, and BBurke I don't hate it...Minnesota might not like it...but it is what is posted here.

I actually think this is our best possible lineup...for now. I just woke up and tuned in so I'm a little bit late to this party; someone might have already mentioned this.

Vpn set on Bahamas helps
