    I hope a lot of you are starting to understand after watching Weimer and Turang "hit" this year, that prospects are just that. Prospects. If the crew doesn't do something big this year then they simply don't care about trying to win a World series. I'm tired of the pussy footing around and making minor trades every year at the deadline and valuing their prospects so highly. That's BS. Trade whatever you have to trade to get some BIG, proven bats. Don't tell me they aren't available. Everyone is available for the right price.

    Yuck, if these are the kinds of bats they are going to be looking at, then why even bother? Not a single one of these guys are a needle mover. Slight upgrade? Possibly. Go big or go home. You might say, "there are no big bats available". There are if you offer enough. Everyone has a price. Since the Brewers refuse to sign big bats in FA, then it's long past time they acquire one(or two) via trade. Now, add one of these guys to a headliner bat? Sure, I guess that would be fine. But not if they are your main options.

    No big bats available? Make them available by your offer. It's that simple.

    Are you guys ever going to stop with the Winker bashing? I mean yes, he's been bad, but you are also the same people that are always against the brewers signing a big bat(s) in FA. You don't get to have it both ways. And yes, for the millionth time, the Brewers CAN do that. They can do whatever they want.

    I'd trade Corbin if he's part of a package to acquire Ohtani ☺️

    Possibly but I was under the impression by talking to someone that knows his dad, that if the $$ was right they would have signed. I mean un signable guys are drafted all the time, if they go to college, well they go to college, but they still get drafted.

    Does anyone know why Cal Fisher from Deerfield wasn't selected in a 20 round draft? Many had him as the top player in the State and he was #150 on MLB.com's list of top 250 prospects. Just seems really odd to me.
  11. JefferyLeonard
    I mean even in the NBA you can't really trade picks per say. One team has to take the player the other team wants at that spot and then trade that way. It's dumb, why not just allow the trade of the pick instead? MLB should allow trades. I'm talking straight trades. Or any kind of trade. Say the Brewers trade #18 and #33, for #5 or something. Or they trade a pick(s) plus players for a pick(s). The year is 2023. .Come on MLB.

    Wow, wow, wow! Now THIS is the type of needle moving signing I have wanted to see. Mark A really stretching that payroll! ?
  14. JefferyLeonard
    So by definition you just made my point by stating the highlighted above Mark ISN'T(that by definition means he WON'T not that he can't) He can set the payroll at whatever he wants. So yes, it's much more appropriate to say they WON'T spend the $$, not they CAN'T spend the $$. No one says they have to go out and spend like the Mets. They spend money on FA's once in awhile but when they do, they are mostly one year deals, or smaller two year deals(like Wong for instance). there is absolutely NOTHING stopping them from going out and signing a big $$ FA to a multi year deal, If they would choose to do it. Heck, there's nothing stopping them from resigning Woody, and Burnes or Adames if they would CHOOSE to do so(and adding a big $$ FA). they are just choosing NOT to. If you build it, they will come. Sure, their revenue stream isn't as large as other teams are, but I'd bet dimes to dollars if they put some big name players on the field, fans would show up more than they do now. That helps drive revenue. Heck, every team just got an extra 30 million this year, That essentially buys you a "free" year of a big $$(multiple year) FA. They choose not to do it.

    This is one of the things that I absolutely LOATHE seeing on this board. It's not just you, it's a lot of people. Please don't use the word CAN'T in regards to the Brewers spending $$. There is no salary cap in baseball. It's a fallacy to say they CAN'T. The more appropriate term is WON'T.
  16. JefferyLeonard
    Oh look, it's another Brewers trade that utilizes their favorite strategy...Hope. using such a solid strategy like that for as many years as they have, it's really quite shocking they haven't been to another world series during that time.
  17. JefferyLeonard
    Here's the problem. There are a number of posters here, who if the Brewers now turn around and sign someone to a 1 year, $17 mill a year deal, will proudly proclaim "see, they added to the payroll and made a significant signing". Yeah, no. No one year deal is "significant". In order for me to be convinced they are still in "going for it" mode, would be by signing a big bat to a multi year deal, AND resign at least one of Woody, Burnes, Peralta.
  18. JefferyLeonard
    This was a salary dump, plain and simple.
  19. JefferyLeonard
    Yes, but the Packers are always at the cap because they re sign their own. That's not "going all in", like they claim they are. Ironically the last two teams to "truly" go all in...The Bucs and Rams, have won the last two Super Bowls. That's no coincidence

    This is what happens when your whole season is based on "hope". Hope the pitching is just as good as it was last year. "hope" that some hitters perform better than they did last year. This is also what happens when you refuse to spend $$ in free agency to acquire a big bat(McCutcheon doesn't count). Hope is not a strategy...never has been, never will be, and yet, that's the Brewers strategy year after year with a window that is closing rapidly.

    There ya go Couns!! Jason Alexander brought in to face Goldie and Arenado. What could go wrong??
  22. JefferyLeonard
    No, you line it up during the all star break. They had enough days off lately they could have shuffled things around accordingly if need be.
  23. JefferyLeonard
    I meant to say this before the game started, but what the hell is Counsell doing not lining up Burnes, Woodruff and Freddie to pitch this series?? Instead we get Lauer and Ashby. What could possibly go wrong?? Great job Couns! ?
  24. JefferyLeonard
    I hope this is a lesson to everyone...this is EXACTLY why at some point during your window you go "all in". You have nothing to lose(except prospects who aren't guaranteed to do anything). By going "all in" that assumes you're acquiring better players than what you currently have. At least if it doesn't work, it would be more exciting to watch then them doing the same thing every single year.
  25. JefferyLeonard
    My god what a foolish thread. Everyone wants to clear up his salary, for what?? The Brewers have shown they won't go out and spend big $$ on a free Agent(Yelich was acquired via trade). So what's the point?? And don't even come at me with "so they can extend Woody/Burnes". Doing that should have NO effect on whether Yelich is on the roster or not. You either want to be a "big boy" baseball team or you don't. It's that simple. Besides, they clear 17million with Cains contract off the books next year. Can't wait to see how they use that...oh wait.
