    Don’t think it really makes sense considering pitching is not currently looking like a strong suit for next year and I’d imagine the Reds want MLB ready pitching. Doubt we would trade Gasser for India.
  2. wiguy94
    I mean he's had 102 and 111 IP the last 2 years with some brief times where he didn't consistently pitch due to being in the bullpen/rotation no-man's land. It definitely isn't enough trade value to justify the Brewers trading him. Right now our rotation looks like this for 2024. Burnes/Peralta/Houser/Rea/Gasser or FA. With Burnes being a potential trade piece the Brewers do not remotely have the pitching depth to trade a guy like Houser.

    Easy choice to tender him and bring him back. He doesn't have much trade value and at his arb 3 number is a bargain for the 120+ IP of league average-ish ERA he will give you.

    I think they should/need to protect Tobias Myers. His FB has elite traits that would definitely play up in a bullpen role where his FB is sitting more upper 90’s than mid to lower 90’s.

    Nice to see Chourio doing well down in Venezuela after a underwhelming performance there last winter.

    Which is a lame excuse considering the Dbacks just made the WS this season.

    I mean can they legally do that? With FO executives I thought you couldn't prevent them from interviewing for positions that would be promotions. I believe that was the whole reason we changed Stearns position from GM to POBO so the Mets/others couldn't interview him for POBO roles. Does that rule not apply for coaching staff members?
  8. wiguy94
    I mean I think everyone agrees with that. It's just what do you value more. 1 seasons of Burnes and a compensatory pick or prospects in return.
  9. wiguy94
    Murphy isn't. It was updated that he did not sign a deal. The rest of the staff re-signed this offseason.

    Ross definitely was not getting fired until Counsell agreed to take the job. Makes zero sense for the Cubs to decide to fire Ross a month after the season ends when 4 other managerial spots already were filled up.

    Relative to revenue the Cubs are definitely cheaper than the Brewers. Top 5 revenue team in the sport and they rarely if ever are in the top 5 payrolls.
  12. wiguy94
    Well it appears that was always a lie as Verducci claims the Cubs job was a dream job for Counsell if he ever left the Brewers. He clearly isn't cut from the same cloth as us if that was the case.

    Brewers need slugging from their 1B/DH far more than they need OBP.
  14. wiguy94
    Nah because Brett was pushed out by the Packers.
  15. wiguy94
    Counsell leaving for the money really did a good job getting Mendoza more money....wait no it didn't!
  16. wiguy94
    If their salaries go up. There's no guarantee this is some trend that will lift all managers pay.

    I really do not get the love for Seitzer. Dude has strictly been a hitting coach his entire coaching career. Being a hitting coach is so far away from being the manager in terms of what your job entails. If you want Brewers to model their hitting development after the Braves you are better off poaching someone from their hitting development group to come run the Brewers hitting development rather than making Seitzer our manager where he won't be dealing with hitting coach duties.
  18. wiguy94
    You very clearly did not read this thread. Plenty of comments of people saying this had to do with Counsell not liking how Mark/Arnold run things.
  19. wiguy94
    And they also did it to Rick Renteria when they hired Maddon
  20. wiguy94
    I don't know why anyone is trying to make this more than what it is. Just baseless projection from people who don't like our owner or front office implying this had anything to do with how they run the Brewers. It was made abundantly clear Counsell was out for one thing and one thing only, to reset the manager's market. He was always going wherever the most money was. That ended up being the Cubs not the Mets like most thought it would be. Even the Mets weren't willing to match the Cubs offer.
  21. wiguy94
    I think it's funny because I'm sure managers are happy that their pay could/will increase but also I feel like the managers are a brotherhood/fraternity as well and Counsell going behind Ross's back to steal his job is something I'm sure will rub a ton of them the wrong way. Total snake behavior from Counsell. He might just be one of the least popular managers in the MLB because of this but he got his money so I'm sure he doesn't care.

    **** CRAIG COUNSELL
  23. wiguy94
    Why do fans continually try to give Counsell credit for stuff like Chase Anderson's success. Counsell isn't a pitching coach and doesn't handle pitcher development. His pitcher usage is not some incredibly advanced usage. Starters rarely see third time through the order and the best relievers aren't used when losing. That's something a vast majority of MLB teams do.

    “Could be unlikely” reads entirely like speculation.
  25. wiguy94
    Diamondbacks remembered they beat the Brewers which means they are headed to the World Series.
