    Nah, I think they're just trying to find somewhere for him to play. Mitchell is struggling..if he can play OF, he could get ABs with the Brewers when Yelly DHs. It COULD be another team, but it could just be versatility. They've moved him all over. LF is probably the best position for him outside of 1B, but he didn't look like a butcher at 2B either.

    It'd work in that it'd be an obvious trade the Bucks would almost certainly jump on. Bring Powell back to the team that drafted him. I just can't see why the other two teams make this trade. Duren has to have more value as a 20-year-old with athleticism who has posted a double-double already and was a lottery pick. Powell is going to start for them with PG13 gone. Lopez is redundant with Zubac. Not redundant in that they do different things, but I don't see why the Clippers would want another big immobile big when they don't really have a 4 ATM. I suppose if you throw Portis into the trade, get Detroit to take Tucker back, the Clippers send a pick/young player to Detroit and the Bucks pick... but neither team has picks until 2031 which diminishes the value and the Bucks, being over the 2nd apron wouldn't be real valuable to Detroit, Detroit would have to really like one of our young players like an AJJ...but I don't think he's a great fit either.

    Well...cue Brewers Twitter asking why they haven't called him up yet! I'm very happy to see him spend this year in AA and then start next in AAA before thinking about a callup. On the other hand, if he can keep the walks low...keep dominating...maaaybe he can go through a lineup once or twice come Oct? He'd need to stack far more really good games, but either way, nice to see how he's coming along. Arguably their most important prospect.
  4. BrewerFan
    Turner-ish. He gets on base, hit atop the order and can both play up the middle... He probably won't hit 28 HRs or hit for that type of power. He'd have to sacrifice some contact in order to do so. I thought you were asking me a question... But I guess I'd say they pretty regularly put guys on the DL for short stints, particularly as their pitchers get up there in innings. Glasnow and Buehler both seem like they should be back shortly. They have 4 of their top prospects either in AAA or on their 40-man. Glasnow in particular. This feels like the obvious Dodgers move. He gets the ASB, they backdated it to July 6th, get him a break. Same may be the same for Buehler, I don't know, or Grove. Yamamoto is a bigger question, but he's working his way back. They're stacked with young arms who are either already succeeding at the MLB level or at the AAA level(in a hitters league). I also didn't suggest it, I just suggested what I thought would be a more realistic trade.
  5. BrewerFan
    Miller was sent down to AAA. He's not part of that rotation. He's still got massive upside. About 21 of their top 20 prospects are pitchers... That'd be why.
  6. BrewerFan
    If it'd get us Miller? I might throw Ortiz in that group...or Turang(I wouldn't as I've long been particularly high on Turang thinking he's Trea Turner-ish)... But sure, it's worth checking on. If nothing else, MAYBE you could get him for just some good offensive prospects into Miller due to their abundance of talented young arms. Also a huge fan of Maddux Bruns or Knack. They've got SO many. Quero would be expensive(especially with Miller struggling this year) but that could be a possible deal. Wilken or Boeve, Devin Williams, Baez? You've go to see Williams back healthy...but, could be interesting.
  7. BrewerFan
    I cannot imagine what other prospects you'd have to add if the MLB piece is Monasterio(or even a significant piece...I really cant' even see him on the Dodgers 26 man roster, they have much better options). Adames for Miller would actually make sense...but I don't see the Dodgers going for that. Miller's season reminds me of Burnes 2nd year. Unlucky HR rate, just missing spots a bit, but...still just too talented to get rid of without both a big impact player now, and probably a top 5 prospect. Wilken? They do have a ton of pitching, but...Miller has a special arm and he's shown he can thrive at the MLB level.
  8. BrewerFan
    At least 2 cuts this year...probably a 3rd. I'd planned on divesting a bit from the large cap stocks and investing in a Russell 2000 ETF...but I may have waited too long. Oh well...good news either way. Unemployment claims also came in quite a bit below the 240K mark I know at least some investors were leery of.
  9. BrewerFan
    I'd happily take Winker in a hypothetical as another good LHed bat off the bench. It's not a great fit as Hoskins isn't a great defensive 1B so you need Bauers vs RHers, but he's back to hitting well and...he's a valuable player. 2.2 WAR as a DH? I kept thinking he was too good of a hitter to keep struggling last year...I was wrong. But, he was coming off the neck surgery. A guy who can give you good ABs and get on base, is patient. Not the worst guy to have on your bench. Not a great fit(hence the IF he could play 1B well). If it wasn't for the awful version of him we saw last year, I doubt there'd be much resistance. Really hope Wilken can tap into his power enough as he seems like the ideal candidate to fill 1B in the future if he doesn't stick at 3rd. Or even if he can stick at 3B, it appears we may have others coming up not too long after him who may be able to be better 3B and push him to 1B.
  10. BrewerFan
    Yes, they saw Weeks with the Glove, and speculated that Frelick would play 3rd(I believe that was because there was a lefty up). Then they put Frelick behind 2B, they were surprised. They then commented on how they've gotta move the OFers, at least have them play in the LF-CF and CF-RF gaps...but BA(I think it was BA, whoever the Play by Play was) said he's got pull side splits on the ground, opposite in the air. I didn't hear them really say much about both coaches coming out though. But...that was why. Murph probably told Rickie to grab Frelick's IF glove as he headed out, Weeks was a little behind, just there to deliver it. I can't remember it happening before...but I really didn't think much about this occasion. I'd have to remember back to when they brought Braun in to play IF(that's the last player I can recall them doing this with, though IDK if that's the last time they actually did this.
  11. BrewerFan
    I'm just looking at all the bigs. If we're going to move one...we're going to need at least a body. Wiseman would have been perfect IMO. I'd guess we'd have been interested in a guy like Paul Reed. Robert Williams would be...damn near a perfect fit...but he'd also have a huge contract if he could stay healthy. Charles Bassey, the big man who was cut by the Spurs for roster purposes...he's an interesting big...though SA seems interested in bringing him back. Paul Reed. I'd make him a priority. Then you've got more freedom.
  12. BrewerFan
    I'd really fight to not give up both Pratt and Bitonti. If you give up Black and Miz, those are two top 35 prospects. Both have warts, but still...that's a lot. I think you have to give up Pratt, but I'd try and make it Wilken+ another good younger prospect. Normally, two top 35 prospects and then two more of the top ~15-18 in your organization would likely get it done. Maybe Frelick and Wilken? It just feels like those two top prospects have bigger question marks than most. I'm going to guess Detroit holds onto him unless they're overwhelmed though, so...you're probably close to the mark.
  13. BrewerFan
    So the Hornets released Davis Bertrans. 6'10...can shoot. He's not going to be confused with Bam, but he's fairly mobile. Unless there are players I'm missing, the pickings are awfully slim for Big Men. If Portis or Lopez is going to be traded...Bucks should be in on him, right? Particularly at the minimum (which is all they can offer anyway).
  14. BrewerFan
    At this point, the Tigers decide there is a tax on the Brewers ridiculously offering one decent and legitimate young prospect, two guys who...could very well be DFAed this off-season(I don't think Perkins will be, but...it's not hard to envision and Bauers is as likely as not). I would hate this trade...and then love it. I'd guess you'd be looking at Mis, Black and Pratt as just a pretty core three. I think that'd be a fair ask. That's a LOT to give up. You'd just have to come to terms with it if you're the Brewers, but that's reasonable...IMO. Misiorowski has the best arm arguably outside of Skenes, but he's a loong way from being a true ace. Black is a really good hitter. I think he's got a high floor, but not sure he'll hit quite enough with his limited defensive value(LF is his best position most likely, maybe 1B, we'll see). And Pratt would be arguably the crown Jewel. I think he's got massive upside. So that'd be the fight. Keeping Pratt. But this dude is so dominant and when he's not striking people out, they're hitting the ball to our 3 SS's in the IF. Just a perfect match. Now you move to next year, Woody comes back, maybe he's 85% what he was, still a GREAT #3. Gasser, Logan Henderson, maybe Miley...probably not, but potentially. Peralta, we still have the young core. I'm a major prospect hoarder, but if there's a player to make this deal for...that's it.

  16. BrewerFan
    Yeah, but he'd be able to defend and switch a lot easier out of the gate and that's a bigger hole. I like Kolek...but I didn't think he was a very good on ball defender vs elite quicker ball handlers, but I could be wrong on that. I think both are the types who are going to have a bigger impact than their box scores may suggest.
  17. BrewerFan
    Who'd you have preferred for the Bucks? Kolek or Ighodaro? I thought both would be in the mix for each pick as they're both NBA-ready, but...Ighodaro seems like exactly what they need. A big who's mobile, can defend, a smart player. I'd feel much better trading Lopez is we have just a physical 4 who can move and defend. Or at least just one who can give you minutes so you're not relying on Giannis, Portis and then...Gallinari. Oh well...they said they were taking a big swing. Still, swinging for the fences and then just trying to hit a single would have been nice as well!
  18. BrewerFan
    Some people just hate trading good, talented young prospects irrespective of the depth at a certain position because it's such a dart throw picking out who among them will be good. Who hits and becomes a stud. I hate it....you get attached to your own prospects, no matter how much it makes sense to trade from a position of strength. Some trades I'd REALLY despise. Cooper Pratt of Bitonti would be much worse, but this is the point of building a farm system. To improve the MLB team.
  19. BrewerFan
    Yeah, he's looked really good...but who had him as a contributor coming into the season? The Brewers have shown they're pretty adept at finding BP arms and they've got more than a couple who should be ready by next year(or sooner). Both Henderson and Misiorowski would likely excel as relievers in a less-than-best-case scenario(even right now, though you obviously want both as starters).
  20. BrewerFan
    I'm not going to think about a rental for Bitonti.... And why is that deal not happening? I'd assume you'd mean the Jays wouldn't do it...but you were against Mitchell for Scherzer, so...I'm not sure which side you're saying says no.
  21. BrewerFan
    That said...yes. I'm also glad he assuaged my concerns over the Holby Milner-Josh Hader comparisons! I was really worried people may not recognize the difference. I'm also now confused about what a "substantial" return looks like if Blake Perkins is going to net one.
  22. BrewerFan
    What's that look like to you? Black+Carlos Rodriguez for Gausman, Nate Pearson+24M? They eat half the money remaining? The feels kinda light. They don't have to add Henderson to the 40 for another year...right? I could see him coming up and being effective for 2-3 innings, but you could say the same for Mis and I'd guess they don't want to push either. But hey...Daniel Norris is available...
  23. BrewerFan
    I played HS FB with a guy who had type 1 and he went on to be a really good College FB player. Big physical TE. It was D3...but that's still brutal. I know he got invited to some regional combines, but I don't think he was really pursuing it. Maybe this is why. Newfound respect for a guy I already had a lot of respect for.
  24. BrewerFan
    I'm not taking BR real seriously. They're just taking the 3 only tradable players with decent salaries and making a guess. They've also had articles talking about Smart coming to Milwaukee(he'd be a great fit) and others who...just aren't coming. But, again, if they trade Lopez, who's the 5? You can't make Giannis play Center all the time and you need to actually get better. James Wiseman, that would have made sense. There's just not much out there that can help us. The trade proposal Jalen Duren was in...that'd work. I really can't see why Detroit would do that, but I don't think they make a big move at this point. I do like the moves they have made. I hope they bring Pat Bev back and I think they just need to play AJJ and hopefully Beauchamp forces his way to some minutes. I could see Connaughton dumped, but I don't know what's going with him.
  25. BrewerFan
    Benge looks and sounds a bit like Yelich. That swing, the high exit velo, low chase rate, but high GB%... I'm all for the high upside pitcher though. Roll the dice, take a guy like Brecht or Schmidt. Lower hit rate, but just that type of raw talent, velo and spin rates...I trust the Brewers ability to develop. I'm a bit envious of the Pirates 1-2 combo of Skenes and Jones. Adding another arm with TOR type upside with the slew of arms we've got, that'd be my preference.
