    Why should it cost Stearns his job when Attanasio was the one who pushed for and led the effort by all accounts??

    No way Woodruff for Jansen is close to an even trade on our end. If we're trading Woodruff, arguably a top 10 pitcher in the game with 2 years of control remaining, I'd want Moreno or Kirk. Just look at the Luis Castillo trade to see how much value Woodruff still has. One of our upper level prospects not named Frelick or Chourio and a lower-level player should be more than enough to get Jansen if we're not dealing from the major-league roster. We would be helped by the fact that it will be pretty hard for the Jays to go into next season with those three catchers on their roster.

    I'd give up a Mitchell and a Houser for him any day of the week. We may not have any huge holes in our lineup, but we need upgrades and Jansen has a WRC+ of 138, which would easily be tops in our lineup.

    Catcher position has turned out to be one of our weak spots this year with the major second-half slumps from Caratini and Narvaez. I think we should look outside the organization in the offseason. How about snagging one of the Jays' three catchers? Time for Jansen to return home? He's probably the most obtainable...

    Agreed. The depth and top-level talent is better imo than 2016 when we were briefly ranked the #1 farm system in baseball.

    Another reason for optimism: the Padres, who we trail by only a game and a half, have the 5th most difficult remaining schedule in baseball, with a total 9 games remaining against the Dodgers. The opportunity is certainly there, but it will of course require taking care of business against the lesser teams.

    FWIW, Keston's K rate in the minors this year (small sample size) has been 25%, which is a little lower than it was before he got called up in 2019. Meanwhile, his K% across July and August in the majors is 32.4%. Obviously, you'd like it to be even lower, but that is in a range where, even if his BABIP regresses, he should still be very productive with his elite quality of contact. Also, watching some early 2022 Hiura video today, I've noticed one particular adjustment he's made in-season at the plate. We all heard about the reduced leg kick in spring training, however, in the last couple months or so he's also switched his batting stance from open to closed. That change coincides nicely with his summer hot run.... In all, I think the lost Hiura of 2021 is in the past. The real question here is whether going forward we will get more of the 2019 all-star version or the 2020 mediocre version. Overall, judging by his contact stats, which rival his 2019 season, I'm inclined to think we're moving towards the all-star version. Probably still short of that with his K rate, but someone who needs to be in the lineup quite regularly, particularly against RHP.

    This is the first time I've even seen this hinted at, so I don't get where the "likely" comes from. I honestly don't think the Brewers are in a position to non-tender .800+ OPS hitters...Unless you think they're going to go into next season with a Yelich, Frelick, and Ruiz outfield, which they aren't. Renfroe has been a real asset for us this year...

    Provided he stays healthy over the next couple of seasons, this title will almost certainly belong to Corbin Burnes. And Corbin Burnes already has a Cy Young, which Sheets never came all that close to winning.

    The Aroldis Chapman return will almost certainly never be replicated in the history of this game. That was exclusively a one time deal. So, we were never getting Hassell, who was the key part of the Juan Soto deal. Juan Soto's value eclipses Hader's by an almost infinite degree. And the tweet you are referring to was completely made up. There is no indication that the Brewers were ever in on Soto, nor should they have been with what he eventually went for. We will always need a farm system, and trading for Soto would have completely emptied ours, not to mention taking guys like Ashby off the MLB roster. You say you miss Doug Melvin... Well, have you even bothered to compare their two records? 4 (potentially 5) playoff appearances, including game 7 of the 2018 NLCS vs. 2 playoff appearances, including several woeful seasons....

    What makes you think his K% will suddenly decrease when it has done nothing but skyrocket since 2019?
  14. Brewcrew82
    It's not that he "probably wouldn't have continued to." It's that he wouldn't have with a 45% K rate and .520 BABIP...

    You do realize that stats like K% are hugely predictive of future results? Which means that given further at-bats hiura’s numbers are all-but-certain to dovetail…The hrs are great and all but they don’t say as much as to what he will do going forward. Why should the Brewers let him go through that downturn in meaningful games during a playoff run, especially with how the offense has come out on fire to start the second half?

    Adames is not similar to Hiura at all, especially with the Ks. Adames Ks 27% of the time, which is below league average but not that extreme in today's game (guys like Trout, Buxton, Story, Stanton, Schwarber, etc. all K more). Hiura, on the other hand, Ks an astronomical 44% of the time, which would be the highest K rate in the league by nearly 10% if he had the at-bats to qualify. Never before in the history of the baseball has a guy K'd that much and still managed to be a productive player... Also, you leave out the fact that Adames is an excellent defender, whereas Hiura is.......not. Combined with his home-run hitting prowess (leads all NL SS), Adames' value becomes so much higher than Hiura's, as exemplified by his clear top 5 NL/top 10 MLB SS WAR.

    Everything I've read is that the Nats wanna resolve the Bell situation first so they can focus all their attention on Soto.

    Exactly. Turang is rated as a 60 grade defender by most services. So, if he can continue to hit around .280-.300 with a high OBP and even a little power, he should prove to be quite valuable.

    SS and 3B are not “holes”.The Brewers are getting top 10 MLB production from those two spots. The only so-called “black hole” there has been on this team this season was CF with Cain and Davis. Taylor has helped somewhat though we could definitely use an upgrade there. The main problem is we’re long on average to slightly above average hitters, while lacking great/elite hitters. Bell would definitely help with that based on his production this season.

    I would just make Bell the everyday 1B regardless as he grades out as a better defender than Tellez. Then, Tellez at DH against RHP and McCutchen at DH against LHP, with McCutchen also seeing a little time in the OF.
