  1. I mean the strongest argument against Mendez is his swing is atrocious. But it's also reality that the chances of hitting on two IFAs from the same class are next to nil.
  2. I'd put him at 17 between Henderson and Guilarte.
  3. Who is just above Paul Skenes in the national rankings.
  4. Yeah. Employee income tax and seat fee is the way these days, and even that is hugely controversial. You will never see anything like the 5 county sales tax again.
  5. I worked at the Capitol a few years ago when I was still in school at UW and retain some connections there. It was a real dogfight to get this through the Senate. They didn't have the votes until early this morning when the Dem leader gave the go-ahead to the fence sitters in her caucus after the amendment for MKE representation on the board and the increased ticket tax. Wouldn't have passed otherwise. Compared to when they first built the stadium, though, yes this was smooth.
  6. I would rather bring back Rowdy.
  7. Dunn offers the ability to play 2B, which Black doesn't really anymore. I would compare him more to Brice Turang anyways. And he seemingly offers more offensive upside than Turang. Granted, he's older. Moore is fine, but he really disappointed in Appleton this year. I'm not sweating his departure with all the upside IFers we nabbed in the draft this year.
  8. Dunn was 25 in AA this year, but he's really looking like a late bloomer. Turned some heads in the AFL. Hopefully he can push Turang. We needed this kind of IF depth. I'm not high on Moore or Mendez. Moore probably never going to be anything more than a utility IF. Mendez still young, but Chourio is the hit from that IFA class and you tend to only get one of those per class at most.
  9. Lost in the Murphy news…I don’t think we’ll get any better news this off-season. This was actually in question as of this morning.
  10. You figured this was going to be the case when MA announced the entire staff was coming back. I’m pretty indifferent about this one. They’re clearly opting for continuity, which isn’t a bad choice when you’ve won as much as we have.
  11. Unfortunately, with Boras as Burnes’ agent now, I doubt any potential trade partner sees themselves extending Burnes before FA.
  12. Horton would be an absolute must.
  13. I would love to pick off Joey Ortiz from the Orioles in a trade. He’s completely blocked by Holliday and Henderson. Elite glove and some decent gap power.
  14. Yep. At .391/.472/.565/1.037 after tonight. More walks than strikeouts.
  15. Dude is raking right now.
  16. Brewer on Brewer crime…
  17. So, Twins would be more willing to deal him then, too, with Lewis cemented there. Good deal all around.
  18. Well deserved. Was truly the best catcher in the NL this year. Lock him up!
  19. They’re not arbitrary value websites. It would be solid core but we still can and should do better. Orioles might be reluctant to part with their prospects, but it’s the price you have to pay. Freddy is healthy right now and controllable for 3 more years after coming off a second half where he was arguably the best pitcher in baseball. Devin is arguably the best (top 3 at minimum) closer in the game and is controllable for 2 more years. That’s a Juan Soto combination of value. Trading guys for less than their value, especially when they’re controllable like Peralta and Williams are, is right out of the A’s playbook.
  20. Yeah I said and/or insinuated none of this but go on.
  21. Not really for guys who have multiple years of control. 3 more years in Peralta's case. Again, Peralta and Williams together is comparable in value to when the Nationals traded Juan Soto to the Padres and got their haul. What is by far the worst strategy is trading guys for less than what they're worth when you don't even need to trade them. That's how you end up like the A's.
  22. That would be a terrible strategy by Arnold to "overpay" with guys who have multiple years of control. If the value demand isn't met, then you keep them until someone is willing to meet your price. Peralta and Williams together would be comparable in value to when the Nationals traded Juan Soto.
