  1. Suarez's range fell off a cliff last year at -6 OAA. I don't see that coming back now that he's entering his mid 30s. In Milwaukee, where IF defense is non-negotiable, he would effectively be a non-option at 3B. I think there's a reason you're hearing Cincy talk about him at 1B and DH. They have that flexibility on their roster. We don't with Yeli making $25 million.
  2. When was Turang said to have a better glove than Pratt?
  3. Chourio was among the league leaders in 5 star catches. As Jack Stern said in a recent article, Chourio has elite range and jumps and is the highest potential CF (taking into account his bat). He's 21 and still developing.
  4. Yeah, I thought about Fischer, but went with Burke and Adams due to them already being in the high minors. It's honestly not much of a debate for me in CF. Chourio is a 60 grade CFer with elite range, even if still working on consistency. Nothing I've seen on Williams indicates he's at that level.
  5. I'm not saying you're wrong, but that would likely come at the cost of Jesus Made reps at SS in AA fwiw.
  6. Made profiles for the most part as a SS. It's just that he has the power for 3B as well, while Pratt is potentially a 70 grade defender at SS. Probably comes down to who makes their debut first between Pratt and Made and whether Pratt hits enough to force Made over to 3B. CF I would say should be Chourio's for the foreseeable future.
  7. Something like this in two years, I think: C: Quero/Dinges 1B: Burke/Adams 2B: Turang SS: Pratt 3B: Made LF: Williams CF: Chourio RF: Frelick
  8. I wouldn't assume that with CF. Chourio likely remains a better option in CF than Jett Williams as Williams is projected as a 50-55 fielder in CF at best. Chourio is a 60 with plus to plus plus range, even if a bit raw as he demonstrated at times last year.
  9. When does Arnold start to receive some criticism?
  10. Jett Williams hit 17 HRs last year with a .204 ISO. He has power.
  11. Not officially confirmed, but Jackson Chourio reportedly set to play for Venezuela.
  12. Not interested at all in Jones or Gil. There's basically zero precedent of success for players with as severe of contact issues as Jones in AAA. He makes Keston Hiura look like Nico Hoerner. He screams bust or severely limited role player at best. Gil likewise comes with major red flags in his injury history and peripherals. He has a higher BB% than Misiorowski over his career and his K% declined by over 10 points last year. I really hope they steer clear of these two guys.
  13. I obviously trust Arnold and co. but Luis Gil being the centerpiece of a Freddy return would be absolutely criminal. His peripherals stink, his K/BB% is trending the wrong direction, has a clear injury history, and comes with only 3 more years of control. Unless the Yankees are willing to part with Schlittler (they won't be) or Rodriguez, I'd honestly prefer to stay away from them. No thank you on Jones, who has major bust potential, or Dominguez, who is a horrible OFer.
  14. When has what another team has done impacted the strategy of this FO? Hint: Never.
  15. Mayo is not really a Brewers player. Limited to 1B, major K issues.
  16. or Why can’t people just say whatever they want to say…. If you struggle to see the logic of the trade, you’re fine to express that. I personally like this trade because we took two guys who really struggled at the end of the season and are likely to have significant regression into a controllable elite stuff pitcher who is likely to experience some degree of positive regression
  17. To be fair, “going out of the way to justify a trade” this FO makes, as you put it, would be pretty dang accurate position to take. Think people are mainly just are trying to see things through the FO’s lens, and generally when they do, they understand it and are more in favor of it given their track record.
  18. If we trade Freddy, I think people are going to be surprised by an outfielder being a major piece of the return.
  19. Michael Harris and JR Ritchie for Peralta and Mitchell is about fair value per BTV. No added salary for the Brewers.
  20. Count me as still on the skeptical side when it comes to trading Freddy. There's a bit of an incongruency between the three teams you mention as being most interested in Freddy and the Brewers' asking price, which you describe as "greater than for Burnes". First of all, the farm systems of those three teams all stink. Like consensus bottom 5 in baseball sort of stink. The only major league ready prospect that I'd have interest in is JR Ritchie, and why wouldn't the Braves just keep him and use him in their rotation instead of trading him for a one year rental in Freddy. Which means most, if not all of the value coming back to the Brewers in a Freddy trade is controllable pieces from their major league rosters. All of the Braves' controllable pieces are signed to contract extensions, which makes them more expensive. The only exception is Drake Baldwin and while we do need to start planning for life after William, I don't see them making him available. I will say Michael Harris is interesting from a Brewers perspective given his extension is on the cheaper side and he's still only 24. As for the Astros and Padres, seriously who is out there that makes a deal worthwhile Brewers? It's all aging, expensive vets, expiring contracts, and a steaming pile of yuck.
  21. Down with that. Flexor strains can be foreshadowing and we have Uribe ready plus Ashby and others. $4 million in savings.
  22. Can't trade Woody until June by MLB rule. They may end up dealing an arm (perhaps even Peralta), but I doubt they'll be especially motivated to deal with overcrowding as they can remember the dire straits they were in at the beginning of the season. These things tend to resolve themselves, whether through injury or underperformance.
