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.

I am also really thinking it will be Marchand as I think the other Brewer type targets will be gone by then, unless the Brewers really zag with the smaller pool this year and go with an underslot pitcher or something.

Fischer bats lefty

Assuming with the double header and maybe some lefties before the break that this is more Lara getting a taste than a permanent move up, but I hope he makes it tough to be sent back down.

He would cost 6 million next year as the Cardinals are paying the rest, which makes it a more interesting rental option. But as you said I don't think the Dbacks will be selling unless they have a horrendous July.

Vaughn is going to get 10-12 mil in arbitration and if Bauers keeps it up he would get 10 easily. If Hearn got 2/29, Bauers can get 2/20 no doubt and probably more like 2/24 would be my guess. I do love Vaughn but I don't think it's a given the Brewers will spend that much on him next year as a weakside platoon player. I would rather give Bauers that 10-12 mil and have Adams be the righty off the bench or sign a cheap lefty killer.
