    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.

    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.

    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....
  7. 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.

    Which stats actually mean something in your opinion?

    First major blockbuster has gone down.

    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?

    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.
  13. 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.
  14. Brewcrew82
    6 games up, definitely not happening in light of Hader trade. Adames is way more irreplaceable to this team than Hader was. Both on, where he's their best player by fWAR, and off the field, where he's the heart and soul of the locker room. FO has also repeatedly said they've learned from trading Hader.
  15. Brewcrew82
    But, the Brewers are so stupid and mismanaged him so bad!
  16. Brewcrew82
    Yeah. That's just not accurate whatsoever.
  17. Brewcrew82
    The Brewers are definitely not close to the O's in what they can offer, unless they plan on giving up Chourio. No team is close to what the O's can offer for a Skubal.
  18. Brewcrew82
    The time to upgrade is next week. Paxton is just rearranging the same deck chairs.
  19. Brewcrew82
    I love dumpster diving!
  20. Brewcrew82
    Hoskins is 1/1 in his last 1 at bat this month. #Positivity. lol
  21. Brewcrew82
    What a moronic play by Turang. Vazquez is literally one of the slowest players in the league. You had him at 1st.
  22. Brewcrew82
    Not sure why he was playing in the all-star game if that's the case. Yelich means that much to the lineup.
  23. Brewcrew82
    Elvis Peguero with inherited runners....Yikes.
  24. Brewcrew82
    Hudson for 2? They've been shying away from that lately, but unless they put up some runs next inning looks like that's what we're going to get.
  25. Brewcrew82
    Not really. He and Freddy have been pretty much the same career-wise. 4.02 ERA/14.8 fWAR vs. 3.87 ERA/13.9 fWAR.
