    It would be a fallback move. If nothing else developed only and he could be had for a reasonable 1 year deal. I agree Wes Clarke will have to start the year at Triple A and go from there with a possible call up that could be permanent. He has to prove he's there first though. I hope for 1 FA vet to be added that would make a difference at the plate and maybe 1 FA starting pitcher. If not one or both, the Burnes and/or Adames trades would have to bring both help for the future and some help right now.

    My hopes since this trade does nothing (but free up lint dust from the Dodgers/Mets/Yankees type pocket money) for us this year is that it is a precursor to soon to be made positive moves that will help us this year AND down the road. I guess that would be to sign at least one substantial FA and a trade moving either Burnes or Adames. Or both.

    Stearns continues to make great trades, this time against us instead of for us. OK owner and front office, now sign a far better FA pitcher than Houser. For starts.

    Had Tommy John this last summer? We give up a MLB quality back of the rotation starter and Taylor? For a guy who likely will not help us this year? This shocked me when I read it. How likely are we to trade Burnes now?

    After losing Caratini I was concerned about a backup catcher. Worries alleviated. Quero needs to catch every day and I don't believe he will ever be a back plan for any length of time. When he is clearly ready the Brewers will have a prime trade piece, either he or Contreras will go for a windfall.

    Pass on all of them. Of the three, the last one is a scenario worth considering IF no better offers were made by other clubs but even then forget adding the CB pick and I'd want another younger but upper level prospect from them. Baltimore, Atlanta, Toronto, etc etc all make more sense than the Dodgers involving Burnes. If we can't get want we feel we should get for either Burnes or Adames let's start the season with them and keep talking to teams right up to the trade deadline if need be. No fire sale here.

    I like our young guns. We need to get treasure for Adames and Burnes rather than letting them walk for a comp pick. Whether it's now or later will depend on return...
  8. Trax
    OK deal. Understandable and may indeed pay off to some extent. We've seen a number of small underwhelming moves so far and that was to be expected. We are nearing the time where we will make a few bigger moves. The fanbase awaits...

    There is no way I'd trade Gasser, a pitcher we can control long term who is about to make his starting debut soon. You're not going to replace him with anyone with similar cost/control/future. I wouldn't be interested in trading any pitcher who could help us this year and where we have control. If you want to trade a pitcher with value it's Burnes. Otherwise we are in NEED of pitching. Not interested in trading assets of control for short time fixes. At all. I'd really need a load return to trade any young guns. Equal or better prospect(s) with equal or better control.

    I don't like the Gorman trade, I don't like giving up Frelick. I like Marte, I really doubt they'd trade him to us. Weimer and another low level prospect for Marte and I'd feel better but it's not going to happen regardless. I think our best bet trade wise is out of the Division and involving Burnes and/or Adames. I like our young guns.
  11. Trax
    Hopefully we can find a trade partner who is willing to offer just comp. Adames has ceiling left, and he's young enough to reach it. He has real value and we need to get something for him. If no offers work then start the year with him and go from there.
  12. Trax
    Kind of a risky gambit. Knew he could be signed but risked taking him in Round 6 when some other team could have taken him earlier for the same money. It worked...
  13. Trax
    I don't like the idea of trading young guns that are under long term control unless we return the same at different positions of need. I'm all for trading quality vets who we are about to lose, but only if we get fair return. That's what it comes down to. Trade Burnes and/or Adames if you get fair return, otherwise keep them. For now.
  14. Trax
    Just re-read it. Very in-depth. Sounds like the team really winged it, they could have lost him to an earlier pick to another team for similar money. I'm surprised he didn't go earlier than he did.
  15. Trax
    I'd like to ask him if the Brewers had talked extensively with him before the draft and did they know you would sign at a certain dollar amount?
  16. Trax
    Like the moves. I think we will begin to see Milwaukee making such moves soon now. Hopefully along with bringing in at least 1 FA difference maker.

    MLB needs a parity system of hard cap like the NFL has. Of course at this point it will never happen. Forget about the Dodgers, the Yankees, the Mets, .... the Angels as a team have more revenue just in TV contracts without selling one ticket or concession than the lowly Brewers do with ALL of their revenue. How is THAT a fair playing field? I don't give ol Bud Selig credit for "selling" revenue sharing to the big clubs. He sat on their laps and got paid millions for giving us the unfair system we have rather than following the example of the NFL. He caved to the big market owners and the union rather than openly battling them for what would have been the right path. He may have never been placed in that position had he went that direction no doubt but at least he would have brought the issue to the front and would have still had his baseball soul.

    I would not trade for a DH, Yelich can cover that full time with the outfield depth we have. I'd rather Yelich move to 1st if he can play there and we rotate the DH, but in no way would I give up valuable young assets for one.
  19. Trax
    Great article. Love the insight and personal touch to it. Pratt is one of the key young guns to watch.
  20. Trax
    The timing of the Hader trade was bad, the long term return was great. If Burnes is traded before the season I find it likely Gasser would be thrust into a starting role with a strong spring training show. If the right return can be had best to move Burnes now. If not, the team will monitor the season and continue talks.
  21. Trax
    I get it but a big pass. I'd rather spend big bucks in FA rather than big young comp that we ourselves can develop. Hopefully our owner can find room in his pocketbook. This team has to think about the now but always more so on the future long term. Let's roll with what we have in house with adds here and there that make sense.
  22. Trax
    You can absolutely forget that kind of return for him in my book. We'll wing it, thanks
  23. Trax
    If he can ride that kind of power consistently he's of obvious interest. Now that you've brought him up it likely won't happen as it goes! (kidding)
  24. Trax
    Agree, but if Black has the hot bat in spring training and then early at Triple A it would be logical to bring him up. Maybe he can stick at 2nd. The big thing here is the Brewers need to land on their approach. We need to cover 3rd, we need to cover 1st, we need to add some power, we need to make a decision on Adames and Burnes. This all has to come together relatively soon. No doubt, they have a direction in mind and we are about to see it come to fruition. Personally if they can get heavy deals for Adames and Burnes I believe now is the time to move them. If not, start the year with them but we must get value for them at some point.
  25. Trax
    Black the obvious choice here for soon. The others with great promise for the future.
