    Ok...well, if you say he was the 17th, I'll take your word for it, but yes, I would have. I'd have felt BETTER about it knowing you're going to be able to make the QO and get a pick right after the first round, so... yeah, it wouldn't have been the EXACT same scenario. Now he's a top 100 prospect as a starting pitcher for a guy who... probably costs that+ and hasn't hit particularly well away from AZ. Hell, if you're talking about before this year, he hadn't hit that well in the last 3-4 years. What? The CUBS "overpay, beat us for division, we lost WC series... Rinse and repeat." Are you of the belief the Brewers have been finishing behind the Cubs after they've overpaid and that's been happening over and over? They've won one Division Title since 2017 and that was in the strike shortened year. We've won the division 4 times in that stretch and we're in 1st this year(Which...would make 5). So... yeah, that hasn't been "rinse and repeat."

    Been a wild run here. NVDA, AMD, AVGO, SMCI...TSM up and down the AI infrastructure is going wild(except for the first start ASML). It's just been an insane turnaround since April. Retirement age moving a couple decades back and forth. I suppose it was kinda obvious when he took off most export controls and opened it up(which...I may not agree with, but what the hell, I'm going to enjoy if nothing else).
  3. BrewerFan
    ... well...yeah, obviously. I think that's all of it. We find out Yount died, I'd HOPE most of them wouldn't troll us on Twitter. And I think most Brewers fans of a certain age have a level of respect for Sandberg.

    I have no idea who we're talking about here. What top 100 prospect did we trade for to play 3rd? I could be missing it, but... we tried Dunn there, then Durbin there, neither sniffed the top 100. Maybe Dunn was close at one point, but not that I recall. Durbin wasn't even top 30 for the Yankees. I might be missing someone really obvious, but I don't think we traded for a top 100 to play 3rd. Ortiz and Turang were top 100 and then Hoskins and Yelich made the lineup look solid, but 3B was the question. Durbin has been a very good answer there either way.

    I mean... one of the question marks is he's a 2 pitch pitcher with a good Fastball... but without great velo and a good slider. I could see him being 95-97 out of the pen and then the slider. But my guess would be is it's too early, they wanted him to keep developing and that will happen later in the year. It's not like our BP is falling apart, but that's a move I would expect to happen in the near future. I'm still really hoping they don't deal him for a rental, but... that's where I think this could be headed.

    I'm actually seeing Brewers fans lay off Cubs fans on Twitter... Sad to see. I remember actually being a fan back when we hated the other Chicago team and constantly got into brawls with them and the Cubs were just generally bad.

    Lions injury luck is... not getting better. Someone asked how have the Lions improved and I just thought about Hutchinson and McNiel and... so many guys they have who were hurt last year.
  8. BrewerFan
    And Jansen an .864 OPS over that same period. One of the players most expected to go. I'm a bit confused as to how this was a huge overpay. If you're assuming Made and Pena were on their way up to HiA... where was he going to play? I don't think Pratt is moving up yet. I'd leave him in AA until the end of the year and get some AAA PAs late.
  9. BrewerFan
    LOL... upon asking me to leave you alone... you again quoted me and engaged and you're again whining about it. Scroll up bud!
  10. BrewerFan
    Kid...seriously, you were just whining asking me to leave you alone. You obviously don't want me to or you'd stop quoting the same post over and over... Your question has been answered. I am curious why you only seemed to care about HR total before and we add a guy who... is hitting better and how shown more power than Contreras and you're upset about it and how it's only NOW dawning on you that Suarez may cost more than you seem to think(though you've been all over the place with Pratt being traded for him and Henderson, but it also not costing nearly that much). Do you want to keep whining that I said about 4 pages ago that you have a child like opinion or do you want me to stop? Make up your mind there sport.
  11. BrewerFan
    LOL... no, I actually didn't call you any name. You're really flailing now. I said your take was child like. Are you really whimpering now because I am attacking your argument? Are you just immune from any critiques in your mind? Again... is there a reason this couldn't be in one post? Or why you couldn't... simply say Suarez the couple dozen times you were asked and said you refused to until someone said "what was if not the season we bEaTtHEDodGeRS!!!"
  12. BrewerFan
    My mood has swung in... what direction? You quoted this post twice in two totally different tones. See, now why don't you block me if that "child like" comment trigged you so badly? But it's also not because you "simply have a different opinion," it's because you have a... child like opinion. "I'd trade Made if it'd guarantee we'd win a Ship." That and you've made... probably 3 dozen posts without actually saying who or what you thought would be "going all in."
  13. BrewerFan
    Well... if Tremayne Person says so... So Naylor would have been the big power bat you wanted? You were asked no less than a dozen times who you wanted and silence.
  14. BrewerFan
    Nope. Not a bit of it. I pointed out a few people wanted to trade Chourio a couple years ago and he said Choiuro hasn't "progressed."
  15. BrewerFan
    I don't think we're going to trade Peralta. That's another benefit of having a deep system. You can just make the QO and take the pick. I assume we'll make one this year to Woody if he stays healthy. As for Gasser... I get your point, but recovery from TJ is a really high pct. I'd keep Henderson over Gasser only because Gasser's clock is running and Henderson's isn't(though having a lefty coming off TJ...where pitchers on average pick up a MPH or 2 on their FB isn't the worst thing either). Yeah, I think the context was who would you rather give up in a trade. So Gasser. You'd keep Henderson, trade Gasser.
  16. BrewerFan
    No, of course not. We literally ALL want to see the Brewers win a World Series. We've also all seen enough Baseball to know that it's rare that the best team get there and 7 seasons of Pratt is worth far more than 2 months for our market. It may be worth it for the Cubs or Yankees to trade a guy in that range. They can spend 100-300M more than us. I didnt even like the Sabathia trade at the time because Greinke was on the market(reportedly) and I thought it was smarter to try and get him...at least we'd have 3-4 years. We made that trade and had a first round exit. So while it was a great season... and we were in a different place. Getting into the playoffs was a bigger deal. But you never have any guarantees. The Padres have squandered SO many stars around the league that came from their farm system. If they were just patient and had their money... I really think they'd have won a WS by now.
  17. BrewerFan
    Henderson+Yoho and another prospect for Suarez and Justin Martinez and I'd be on board with that. I think you'd probably be selling Henderson at close to his peak value and if you could get back another arm who could be part of the back of the pen in the future? Probably unlikely. Most likely they'd deal Miller or Ginkel(who is actually kinda interesting himself despite having a big ERA).
  18. BrewerFan
    I'd think if you could go out and get a guy who has 3 years left like... Gunnar Henderson or Abrams, I'd be fine giving up Pratt and Henderson(and probably then some). Ortiz could have a ton of value as a utility player if he continues to hit. I just can't think of any teams that would be willing to trade a SS who's got 3-4 WAR value(or better) who'd be on the market and who hasn't hit arbitration yet. The ones that have, you'd imagine teams would want you to really overpay for them.
  19. BrewerFan
    Hey... sport. You have 3 of the last 4 posts and... while I'm quite sure you're in a group chat right now with your family analyzing my posting on Brewerfanatic.com... which would be ironic given your current claims, I thought you wanted this to end? It's been generally incoherent claims that you're the only one who wants to win and you'd NEVER give up Made, that's ridiculous, but you would if you got a magical guarantee it got you a "ship" and the same thing on a loop. So.... reply twice, finish it out and then lets move back on so we can have big boy conversations about the trade deadline. Sound good? And...go!
  20. BrewerFan
    That's a shame you haven't made better use of them. Oh well... there's still time.
  21. BrewerFan
    LOL...awe... you're such a victim! You realize this kinda looses all impact when you then AGAIN quote me! I guess we're going with the "nuh-uh, you are," stage of this? Bud, stop whining about stopping this after you've replied multiple times without me replying.
  22. BrewerFan
    Yeah, just amused by the "Brewerfan click" you have imagined in your head here. And... sorry to break it to ya, but you "telling me" to block you couldn't mean less to me(and you may not know how this board works, but there aren't "followers). Ya don't say! If only there was a font to articulate you're being sarcastic! But despite you're trolling, it's still entertaining enough...and you sure do seem worried about it. Even as I write this, I have another notification from you.
  23. BrewerFan
    What you find disappointing is of little consequence to me and I didn't say he hasn't been disappointing this year. He got hurt. That's "disappointing." I'm trying to convey how similar Suarez and Hoskins have been as hitters. I do realize I have to spell everything out in very simple terms for you.
  24. BrewerFan
    True. I've never been good at heading Twain's advice. I'm fairly certain @bigred and @brewers888are the same person. Once the original premise was kinda blown up, he came back in to continue to make some...amusing arguments/proclamations.
  25. BrewerFan
    Really? Who were you replying to when you said this then? Perhaps I'm mistaken. Show me who said Suarez wasn't an upgrade over Durbin? Or the other couple dozen examples.
