Agreed Ragsdale is fine but both him and Frias is tough.

Probably just pushing everyone out to get extra rest

Going to play a ton if you are a lefty that’s effective against left handed pitching

Houston wanted more room under the luxury tax so we essentially bought Gordon by taking on 2.5 of McCullers salary and DFAing him for them.

2.5 million but it was always about getting Gordon for depth with that money.

Correct you could draft someone and you held their rights until like a week or so before the next draft, so a team could wait to make an offer after watching them play more. The only thing that’s not simple is the pooled money. You don’t know exactly how much a team will have left so do you play the waiting game and get a bumped up offer near the deadline that sways your decision? Or do you wait too long and a different draftee gobbles up what is left.

No it's just dumb rumor mill stuff that spreads in social media because of course every fan would fantasize getting him.

Probably prep guys in the 11-20th where we can throw a couple hundred thousand out and get a bite.

I wouldn't put much weight on a trade when it was a guy cut and traded for cash in the waiver process.

Folks wanted more outfielders in the system so bam there we go.

Funny you could easily swap our two guys and it would be probably their “normal” position. Wondering if they went Ebel first to go underslot then got a pleasant surprise that Sawyer was still there and may have to spend some of Ebels money there. Fine by me, get the power early then go pitching.

Man the more I looked at Rose the less I wanted him for the Brewers. At 6 is crazy, even if underslot.

Adams 4-4 and playing third…

They aren’t firing on all cylinders at the moment but every team has downswings. Hitting is hard these days. Yea of course it would be nice to have better hitters in spots but that’s every team. Brewers are better off than most so hooray.

I would wager they’d rather have Stallings pitching regularly over being the guy that can go over a week without an appearance.
