    I would think teams would want to wait for a player of Storr's caliber. He's an incredible CBB player. As for the NBA...I don't know, but look at who the Bucks have on 2-way deals? A 6'7 wing with his athletic ability? What are the holes? Shooting? He looks streaky. Ball handling? Is his defense an issue? It's hard for me to see where the holes are that make him such a long-shot, but I missed a lot of Badgers BB this year.

    I didn't miss any point. You confuse me not agreeing with your point as missing it. Your point was that...FA catchers are getting paid more. Great. He's not a FA catcher, so that's irrelevant. What IS relevant is Sean Murphy's contract. Ask him why he made a "boneheaded financial decision," a year closer to Free Agency than Contreras. I'm trying to compare apples to apples...not apples to free agents. And securing 80-100M dollars...that most definitely "helps him," in both the short term and the long term.

    Wolf and Thompson just seemed to try and stock up with as many late-round picks as possible to just throw darts and hope they hit. You get a Driver in the 7th, Tauscher, guys like that make your draft. Day3 is where both really thrived. Gute did as well, but has placed more of a premium on the athletic profile. Not sure any team(maybe NOLA) has higher average RAS scores. Thompsons were much lower, he wasn't nearly as aggressive, but man, up until 2016, he also had success with Day 3 picks. Sherman went for the more athletic profiles, but seems like he didn't do the scouting part nearly as much. That same year they took Sander, they took a big DT from Clemson a few picks earlier. A guy who got hurt, then showed up so out of weight that he was sent home and cut. It's too early to compare Gute, but he's off to one helluva start. Utilizes Free Agency, he's aggressive in the draft, but also stocks up on those picks. Walked a real fine line trying to win while also focusing on the future. Excited to see what he does in this draft. Just a side note, last time we were picking 41(I think)...The Packers traded two mid-early 3rd Rd picks for the 26th pick and a 6th for CMIII. Maybe DeJean and Cooper are both on the board and history repeats itself? Probably not.

    I think he's pretty likely to be at least a 2-way player.

    Yeah, I had a friend who just didn't sign the HOA agreement when he bought his house. People were pissed, but it was because he built a shed...on his 3 acres that buts up against the woods. So a backyard shed that is the same color and matches his house. I actually don't think it was because he could, it was because they couldn't. He put up a little fence in his backyard for his young children and dogs. People complained so he took it down. Didn't want to push it, but it just becomes this little policing neighborhood often times and people are so petty. I get people don't want someone with a junkyard in their yard, but it seems like there could be a happy medium. HOAs are a pain. As for the field, this doesn't seem like a big deal. He's building a little baseball field, again, presumably for his kids. I think his sons are roughly 9 and 6. Not getting the permits was stupid.
  6. BrewerFan
    I'd guess it's probably for his sons and less for him.

    Lets continue the cycle. He went back to KC, not he comes back to Milwaukee. Can't imagine he'd command a whole lot. 6M? Get ~130IP with a much better defense behind him. And the post-game interviews would be great. Remember the "what's your favorite thing about Milwaukee Zack?" And his answer, "I don't know, nobody's annoyed me yet." That's how I remember it, probably not an exact quote.

    Murphy is due to be a FA at 33(Team Option) or 34....for an AAV of 15M a year. Using him an example of this deal doesn't work is not the strongest argument. He was(and remains) a better catcher, he was a year closer to FA and he signed pretty much exactly the type of deal you're talking about. And he was proven when he signed that deal. The free-agent deals are...not comparable here, so I'm not sure why we're using them. Yes, you will get much more in FA than you will if you have 4 years of team control left. That's about as obvious as it gets. FA contracts become MORE relevant as a premiere player gets a year or two away. Contreras plays a very physically demanding position and is 4 years away still. Pudge was still worth ~6 WAR over the next two seasons. .288/.312/.441 OPS+96 while playing 265 games at 33-34 years old. Piazza .269/.328/.459 from 36-38, 322 games OPS+ 108 Posey hit .304/.390/.499 with an OPS+ of 140 at age 34 Those are probably not the best examples of how bad the backend looks like as you generally sign a contract like this with the understanding the last 2-3 years aren't going to be the best years. The value comes more from 28-32 range.

    Well...it doesn't sound like it can be. Even optimistically, if he's going to be out "multiple weeks," he's likely completely shut down. So then he'd have to start throwing again. Not like this is June and he's coming back middle of August. I'd guess he misses this stretch. They'll likely have to trade for someone if they're going to continue to pitch well. I guess the best case would be the Pads struggling and maybe we could go get Cease.
  10. BrewerFan
    None that haven't been mentioned or accused of a DV(Urias).
  11. BrewerFan
    Damn...I've had a lot going on. So...that it? Any other starters? Greinke done? Rich Hill? Not many options left...guess Ashby, Gasser, C-Rod will have to get stretched out, get healthy and keep grinding...in that order.

    Montgomery didn't want to go to Boston because he "wants to win," according to one Boston Red Sox site. So...hey, 4-0? Hopefully soon to be 5-0? See ya in Milwaukee Jordan? https://www.si.com/mlb/red-sox/postseason-star-reportedly-didnt-want-to-sign-with-red-sox-for-disappointing-reason

    I thought Turang was going to be a Trea Turner-type player(obviously not THAT good, but a similar type of player)...and then last year he looked totally lost. Just defensive swings to finish the year. Now he looks like an actual Trea Turner-ish player. I imagine he'll settle somewhere in-between that...very wide chasm.
  14. BrewerFan
    MLB did confirm it? That's just dumb. This apparently took a lot of people by surprise as I remember numerous articles about how Chourio was eligible and Ortiz was not. Oh well...I'll still be happy with a ROY award.
  15. BrewerFan
    LOL...fair enough. But, I've still got faith in Sal.
  16. BrewerFan
    I thought so. Up to 97-98. Didn't look quite as good as the season went on, so hopefully he'll be more acclimated this year to the workload and keep throwing like this.
  17. BrewerFan
    Ortiz can't...unless they've recently changed that as well.
  18. BrewerFan
    I'm just seeing Cooper's article. Is this confirmed beyond just him saying it? You have to accrue 172 days in your rookie campaign. He can and will do that. Top 100, done. Rookie Eligible with less than 60 days of service time. All those fit. That doesn't make sense. I know Ortiz isn't eligible any longer, but if that is true, it's exactly the opposite impact it was meant to have. You want to promote prospects...just don't sign them?
  19. BrewerFan
    He's played 3 games this year. Lets...give him a little time.
  20. BrewerFan
    And why can't get get it for Chourio? And how would any of those qualify? They weren't on the opening day roster.
  21. BrewerFan
    Yeah...that may be about as extreme an example as you get. At least when Bellichick did it, it was Cole Strange, an guard that nobody thought would go until maybe late rd 3 and he takes him in the first. Another good reason...you hear MLF claiming he had no knowledge of the Aaron Jones situation or just after the whole Jordan Love selection? I do not believe either one happens without him signing off. In fact, I seem to remember reports that HE was the one that really liked Love among the two...but MLF could look at Rodgers and say, 'of course I want you as my QB...those decisions, they're above my head.' It's just a smarter way to do things. How often does it work out? Belichick needed Brady. Holmgren did alright for a while. Jimmy Johnson? It's an outlier when it works.
  22. BrewerFan
    Yeah....we're getting another comp pick next year!
  23. BrewerFan
    Oh...Mr. Cohen...
  24. BrewerFan
    From the 60s!?! Don't they make one of those every year now?

    Resident Alien is...hilarious. @homer...just stumbled onto it, thought it'd be stupid and now it's one of the few shows I watch right when it airs. Only a few more episodes left this year.
