    I hate giving up prospects and I really like Ragsdale but both trades on the final day made total sense. We without a doubt improved our team as we ease into the post season without burning a present top 10 prospect.
  2. Trax
    We have what, 3 hitting coaches and others who certainly know a little about hitting and related adjustments? They must have a theory and Contreras has been getting more rest this year than ever. Just like with Yelich, may have to move him down in the lineup as it sits right now. 5 or 6 for him and 8 or 9 for Yelich.
  3. Trax
    The Brewers will no doubt make at least one move today, very happy they didn't overpay for some of the players already moved. Strategic and fair comp move or moves otherwise sit tight. No reach, no desperation, no overpay. That is what we need to do above all. To me Made is off the table but the likes of Pena and Fischer are near off. A few others are also very nearly off. Do NOT trade top prospects for rentals and in the case of Miller (who I would love to trade for) don't overpay with the supposed FOUR top prospects they are asking for.
  4. Trax
    I expect he may very well be traded, but not before December and only then for a windfall.
  5. Trax
    It has to be the move you make before the bigger move. Otherwise we traded 2 MLB usable depth pieces for 2 Triple A pieces. I guess I did like the Yoho potential more than most...
  6. Trax
    Darrien Miller certainly could be moved up and added to the 40. Who do you remove to make room? Black and Rodrigues are two I'd like to see added to swing something for an example. I'd have more faith in adding a Eric Haase type than trading for Naylor if we truly have such a need. We'll see....
  7. Trax
    Naylor a backup quality catcher has hit about .200 with a high strike out rate. I think Yoho if he stays healthy is going to be real good in his role. Perkins a gold glove quality defensive player and great club house guy. The reliever we got better have some potential. At least Naylor has options... This might indicate a catcher may be leaving us soon, either Sanchez or Quero....Just guessing. Can't see the gain otherwise with this trade..

    Headscratcher....

    Need? I don't think they NEED anything. But it would be nice in a sensible trade to add an arm or two. If we could add a hitter with some power (Parades) it would be nice enough. Sensible the key word here.
  10. Trax
    No harm in talking. Brewers have usually been very smart at this time of the year, please continue that. NO rentals unless incredibly on the cheap and don't overpay for anyone else either. We are fine as is with maybe a couple of minor addons when they make sense.
  11. Trax
    Would love Miller on the team but no way going to overpay. Made off the table and a half dozen others near off.
  12. Trax
    Being reported from some good sources the Brewers are trying (talking) to trade for Mason Miller. I think he's controllable through '29. I mean, great get but what would we have to give for him? I don't like the answer.
  13. Trax
    What injury is it that Russ Smith can't get past? Former 2nd round pick going by memory?
  14. Trax
    Quero and a 40 man prospect we need to move (Black or Rodrigues) is the most I would give for Soriano and that's plenty.
  15. Trax
    If we're going to add anyone of consequence I would think it would be an arm, either starter of reliever who would see a lot of work. If it were to be a bat someone that would fit like Isaac Parades makes sense as long as the comp wasn't too high. He may not even be available just a shot. Why would you pay premium comp for Abrams, we have the personnel as it sits. Ortiz works a gold glove at SS and 3B and of late his bat is red hot. Hamilton isn't a bad platoon at times. We're OK there. The near future has Burke and Fischer and Made and Pena and others all needing call ups infield wise. No way do I want to part with top prospects and especially so for a rental. If the Mets would unload Freddy P for very reasonable comp I'm all for it even if he's struggled this year and never been good post season. I'm thinking a guy we need to move off the 40 man anyway, say Black or Rodrigues? Maybe that's even too much....
  16. Trax
    For the right offer anyone is available. I would actively listen to any interest on Sanchez, but the comp would have to be real. We're not gifting him to anyone.
  17. Trax
    I'd like either of these arms added, but not involving a controllable present starter. We have prospects that have value I'd be willing to part with, a couple on the 40 that really need to go. Package kind of deal....may or maybe not for arms of this quality. But arms that could help.
  18. Trax
    Anyone is on the table including any active players. That being said in reality they're really not on the table, because of what the comp would be. I mean if someone calls on JackC do you hang up? No, you listen to their offers and then you hang up. I mean for an unbelievable everything I want offer anyone is on the table, but then reality ends that debate. That all being said I do not trade Fischer, Burke, Pena and several other close to ready prospects. Williams maybe for the right deal, and a bunch others (Black, for an example) on deals or as fillers. But not the core guys that may be special players. And I hate rentals, unless it's a no loss steal pass on rentals. The trade we just made with Houston was perfection, little loss with little risk and possible soon and far reward.
  19. Trax
    With any incoming player it all comes down to comp for me. I don't like giving up top prospects and I am not an all in for a rental guy unless the cost is reasonable.
  20. Trax
    One way or another I think a starting pitcher who right now is presently with another team is with us. One better than at least one of them you have starting. Really depends on the new CBA. I think it likely Contreras is traded in December as it sits, he will bring a lot. The only way he's moved is if we get a true windfall, and I think we do. That is somewhat reliant on what the team thinks about Quero and his readiness to take the top job. I was surprised they were that all in on Pratt, they may think he's as ready. You can always find a suitable veteran backup catcher and we have a couple in the minors who are fighting their way up.
  21. Trax
    He is a grossly overpaid vet. I can see some leeway for underperformance involving vets but not to this extent. We need to get our best players/hitters on the field and placed where they most help the team to win. Play Lara more and ease him up the ladder of batting order. Contreras, Turang, Frelick have had their plate struggles too but I have much more faith for them in the now and future. Same for Vaughn. I'd see much more of Vaughn/Bauers and an outfielder DH'ing based on matchups if it were me. Maybe a good long rest would do Yelich some good.
  22. Trax
    Exactly. I would have had Yelich resting on pine for some time now, platooning him at DH when I did put him in the lineup. I'd also have him batting 5 or 6, not in the top 4. Shouldn't everyone have to earn their spot in the lineup? Not considering money paid he still is mediocre. Become the master of topping the ball. Considering what he's paid he has royally sucked. I know that a hitter can't get out of their funk while on the bench, they need at bats. I don't think it's a funk with Yelich, he's just declined to this point and don't expect it to get better for any stretch of time. Spurts maybe but we've seen the last of a long term heavy hitter with him.
  23. Trax
    Murph needs to implement his size 12 cleat. This is on him, he controls this or should. That being said I think there has been some discussion. Twice yesterday Sanchez could have challenged and he would have been right but he didn't.
  24. Trax
    I'm hoping the first couple months for Sal at the plate were not the norm future wise. He is a Gold Glove outfielder who can play all 3 spots. I don't see him moving unless in an emergency situation. I would guess for right now Lara platoons, natural CF'r who may have to play a little corner depending on match ups and needed days off? Still unsettled infield as it sits.
  25. Trax
    I see Jones over Leonard advancement as strange. Leonard hit the ball extremely well and has plenty of infield experience including 3rd base. Jones zero experience at 3B. I guess in the short term Frelick or Vaughn could fill in at 3rd with an Ortiz injury...
