    They're highly unlikely to be underdogs in a Wild Card series if they stay #3.
  2. Brewcrew82
    Unless some stuff goes down in the next half hour, this is shaping up to be the most boring deadline in recent history.
  3. Brewcrew82
    Not quite sure how "obvious selling" and 7 game lead work together, but I'm listening.
  4. Brewcrew82
    Some would say Skenes, but hard to count on a pitcher to stay healthy and he's got 4 less years of control if he wins ROY. Fangraphs sort of explored this question recently in their trade value series. Chourio came in at 25 behind Henderson, Witt, Skenes, Elly, Julio, etc. But, yeah, of that list I personally would probably only entertain a 1-1 deal for Witt and Julio. But even in those cases I would think long and hard about it.

    Mears looks like the dude his peripherals say he is. Could be another great relief pickup by this FO.

    Peguero inherited runners time!

    Rangers are still hanging in the fringes of the playoff race. And I don't see why we shouldn't take him at his word when he's 40 years old and has done everything he can in this game, including winning his second WS title just last year. There's a reason why we're hearing nothing from insiders about the possibility of him being traded.
  8. Brewcrew82
    From the Tigers beat....Flaherty has also been connected with the Yankees today, too. He's already been scratched from his start so presumably a trade is imminent.
  9. Brewcrew82
    Scherzer already said he's not waiving his no-trade clause again.
  10. Brewcrew82
    For sure. Crazy how he's been better in his 30s than he was in his 20s.
  11. Brewcrew82
    Only threw 75 pitches. Wasn't as sharp today though and we have Wilson and Junis in our pen, so looks like Murph was willing to sell out to avoid the sweep.

    With Willy being our best player this year, they'd go down by quite a bit on top of Yelich being out. They also have no one to replace Ortiz at 3B if you move him to SS. It's just not going to happen.

    I'd be willing to bet my life savings that Adames is a Brewer come next week. It's really fan fiction to think otherwise at this point. I'm all for buying as we have a 6 game division lead and 85% playoff odds and that situation doesn't come around as often as we think despite how spoiled we've been the last 7 years. But I also realize that we're just entering a real WS contention window here, so it has to be done responsibly. I agree that ideally you want guys with multiple years of control. At the same time, those guys cost more so who knows.
  16. Brewcrew82
    Yeah. I agree there's some nuance here as back issues are notoriously unpredictable. And he very well may have felt good enough to play at that time. I guess I just would've preferred that he played it safe and used the full rest period given his history and importance to the team. I would've had no issues with him playing if he was feeling normal.

    @Brock BeauchampCould you please unlock my vote in light of the news that Levonas is unlikely to sign? Silly me for assuming the Brewers would sign every top pick as they've done since 2010.
  18. Brewcrew82
    Sure, a bit. It is illustration of how much Hiura strikes out. It's not a standalone stat by any stretch whatsoever, but it provides some very rough context to Keston's struggles which are undeniable at this point. Mainly, though, I just noticed that you seem to question stats quite a bit. So, I'm curious which ones you personally place value on is all....
  19. Brewcrew82
    I mean I don't know how you couldn't raise questions when it was already reportedly flaring up around the time of the all-star break..... Did the all-star game do anything to make it worse? Obviously, we don't know the answer to that, but it interfered with what otherwise would have been a full six day rest period, and he subsequently had to sit for back rest a mere one game into the second half. It's not scapegoating; it's raising reasonable questions about our best player participating in a meaningless exhibition game in the midst of a flareup of a chronic back issue when other guys have sat out for less. Nothing's going to change at this point, but it is worth asking I believe.
  20. Brewcrew82
    Which stats actually mean something in your opinion?

    First major blockbuster has gone down.
  23. Brewcrew82
    Solid news. Means nothing new has come up, and we've seen how he can return to form with some extended rest. Though, it's not exactly great to know that serious surgery could very well be in the future. Seems like the most prudent move in the meantime is to not even think about putting him on a baseball field until September. They don't HAVE to trade for an OF bat now, though I wouldn't fight the idea of adding some more thump to the lineup. The question that remains is how the heck was he allowed to play in the all-star game?
  24. Brewcrew82
    I'd sign up for Winker. He essentially replaces the ailing back version of Yelich, which we very likely would have received for the remainder of the season. Rooker could replace the all-star/near-MVP level version of Yelich and would actually add more power to the lineup which we could honestly really use. Controlled for 3 more seasons after this one so the cost would be much higher and there's the question of what to do with him after this season given our existing young OF depth and welcoming back a (hopefully) healthy Yelich. Personally, I think the Rooker route is worth exploring and opens up some interesting possibilities. For one, they could acquire him with the intention of trading him again in the off-season where he could theoretically net us back quite a bit with his 3 remaining years of control. Also, you could use a Rooker acquisition to set up trading one of a Mitchell/Frelick/Perkins as part of a package for a controllable starter. Anyways, I wouldn't necessarily limit myself to a rental like Winker. I do think we need to do something now. This lineup sans Yelich won't hold up in the postseason even if it manages to get us there.
  25. Brewcrew82
    Yes he very well could. He’s got a nice -0.5 fWAR this season in all of 27 PAs and continues to strike out 40% of the time.
