    2023? That’s entirely AAA #s. Remember Luke Voit? He’s homered in 5 straight games in AAA and has a higher OPS than Hiura…That meant absolutely nothing when his spot came up in the order for us.
  2. Brewcrew82
    Yes, and you’re completely ignoring what we saw from 2020 to 2021 and the 42% K rate last year or AAA #s since returning from injury. That’s the context that is missing from your posts whenever you post Hiura’s stats from a single game or his OPS in 20 games at DH, etc.

    Toro has been hotter…

    Stats with context. How refreshing.
  5. Brewcrew82
    Very true lol

    I will say that I think wRC+ overcompensates for Coors Field. McMahon may not be the .800 OPS hitter he is currently, but I doubt he suddenly becomes a sub .750 OPS hitter at Am Fam. McMahon would still be an upgrade over what we've been getting at the plate from 3B and would help with our run prevention philosophy.

    So now outside of the first round the baseball draft is mostly "luck"? Just when you think you've heard it all... No, it's a product of good scouting/organizational philosophy and shrewd maneuvering around the bonus pool. Corbin Burnes wasn't a Cy Young pitcher when the Brewers' drafted him, but he fit a profile (namely high velocity and spin rate) that this organization has prioritized since the Melvin to Stearns turnover. And then they DEVELOPED that profile into a Cy Young winner. On the opposite end, you have organizations like the Angels and Cardinals (on the pitching side) who have targeted their pitchers and had it blown up in their faces for the most part. Sure, there's luck involved, particularly health, but that is far, far from the entire story.

    I would say it would come at the expense of Turang and Miller.

    As you know, I'm not one who believes the Hader trade was the reason the team missed the postseason last year. But talk about a shift from last deadline.
  10. Brewcrew82
    Huh? The only first round picks they've drafted and developed into anything in the last 10 years are Taylor Ward and Reid Detmers, a pitcher. Jury is still out on Zach Neto as he's only played 60 games. Matt Thaiss isn't exactly a shining success story with his career .1 fWAR. They didn't even have first round picks in 2012 and 2013 due to their free agent signings.... But yes, "without credibility". And all the while spending hundreds of millions more in payroll and having zero postseason appearances to show for since 2014. They're universally known as one of the worst run organizations by everyone except for you. Something to consider...

    Justin Wilson and Aaron Ashby seem like pretty good bullpen adds to me.
  12. Brewcrew82
    Well, I'm glad that you're at least admitting now they upgraded 1B! Luis Urias is smoking hot in AAA right now and has been a 110 wRC+ hitter the last two seasons. That would upgrade 2B and/or 3B. I'll give you DH. What we've been getting from Winker isn't close to good enough. We'll see what they do there. A Ruf/Rowdy platoon, assuming they're back in relatively short order, wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, though. LF is obviously set. CF is set between Wiemer, Frelick, and Perkins. They could use another corner OF bat, perhaps Grichuk? I personally think they need at least one more above average bat (Grichuk, Candelario, etc.). We'll see what they do.
  13. Brewcrew82
    Yeah, I think he's earned his way back to the majors already. I would start him in the IF right now alongside Monasterio and Turang.
  14. Brewcrew82
    How on earth can you be freaking out when there's still 5 whole days to go until the deadline? The fact that we got someone this far out is pretty surprising and a good job by Arnold. Come back to me on Tuesday at 5 PM, and then we can talk about whether they did enough.
  15. Brewcrew82
    Yes. Better pitching would in fact help, considering Burnes and a healthy Woodruff back to back (to go with a shutdown bullpen) would be perhaps the single biggest reason why this team would have a shot at advancing in the postseason... You just don't get it do you? All you care about is the "name". "Oh there will be many bigger bats than him acquired by the deadline!" But, I just demonstrated to you how significant an upgrade it is from what has been BY FAR the worst 1B production in the majors over the last two months (27 wRC+ vs. 112 wRC for Santana). And we didn't have to sacrifice any defense nor our top 30 prospects to do so!
  16. Brewcrew82
    Despite his regression with the glove, I'd be all for this as Arenado absolutely kills the Brewers along with Goldschmidt.
  17. Brewcrew82
    Jeimer Candelario is who I want personally. Double down on defense AND hitting.

    Not to mention, assuming everything goes well with these next two rehab starts, the Brewers will be adding a literal all-star to the team in Brandon Woodruff.
  20. Brewcrew82
    We just traded for Carlos Santana?
  21. Brewcrew82
    Since June 1st here has been the Brewers' production at 1B: .186/.233/.241, 27 wRC+. (Worst in baseball). Now, here's Santana's production during the same timeframe .244/.319/.470, 112 wRC+. It doesn't have to be a "big name" to be a big upgrade.
  22. Brewcrew82
    Urias is heating up in AAA, too. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him up and starting on the MLB club very soon. Unless Miller starts hitting better, he’s in real danger of getting passed up for playing time in the infield.
  23. Brewcrew82
    And they've absolutely failed in "throwing money at it". While mortgaging all of their prospect capital and failing at developing whatever prospects they do have. Which is why your take that they're somehow not one of the worst run organizations is "laughable" (but entirely on brand for you).
  24. Brewcrew82
    Yes. I completely forgot about him. He's perhaps the likeliest to go.
  25. Brewcrew82
    Carlos Santana will obviously have to be added to the 40 man and the major league roster. There is a 40 man spot available due to Jason Alexander's outright. On the 26 man roster, the most likely candidates for the option are Toro, Perkins, and Owen Miller. I also wonder if Urias won't be recalled soon, perhaps as early as this weekend. He has really heated up in AAA and with his track record in the major leagues, he's gotta get the shot in the infield.
