    Someone explain it to me, based on a lot hitting metrics Soler isn't that much better than Sanchez. Sanchez is cheaper and can play catcher decently. Soler is an absolute butcher in the field and more expensive. I don't see the appeal at all for the Brewers. The giants absolutely need a power hitter so I can see why they went for it but I wouldn't want that contract on the Brewers.

    When Hader went all the way to a hearing in 2020 -- arbitrators ruled his salary should be $4.1 million instead of the $6.4 million he sought -- Are there people out there that think that if the Brewers ponied up an extra $2.3M back in 2020 that Hader would have turned down the 5 year $100M he got the astros and would be happy pitching for the Brewers for 5 years and $40 M or whatever? There must be some because I've read a lot of comments how the Brewers screw up with Burnes in arbitration like there was some chance they could sign him to before free agency.

    I'm not sure why that's hypocritical.

    I don't think it's that cut and dried in that I assume innings pitched has some value in arbitration, just that saves are worth that much more, I assume. His first two full years in the league he had 81 and 75 innings pitched. Since then he's never had more than 58. How much in baseball is there where a winning player does something that they don't get paid for? There used to be a lot more of it, going in hard to break up a double play. Nobody gets paid to do that but that helped win games. Sacrifice bunts. Nobody does that anymore either but nobody got paid for doing that. In the game today it's probably stuff like hitting the cut off man, taking the extra base, taking a pitch (Chuckie hacks on 2-0). Winning players make those plays even though that doesn't increase their arby figure or their free agent contract. That San Diego team had a boatload of talent and they didn't win jack squat. Team leaders with attitudes like Hader, Machado and Tatis Jr might explain why they underachieved. Grumpy old man rant over.

    I think the underrated part of this deal is the Brewers ability to improve catchers. Every catcher that has come into our system has improved defensively, If this ends up being a transition year and the Brewers end up being sellers at the deadline Gary Sanchez could be one heck of a trade chip if he maintains his offense and becomes average or above average defensively. He's got a pretty good arm and decent pop time. The knock against him was blocking balls. If we can improve that he becomes a very attractive piece for just about any contending team except for LA, Philly and Atl. So I can see this working out great for the Brewers whether they contend or not. As long as he doesn't contract Jesse Winker disease.

    Do they need to dump someone from the 40 man? They were at 39 before Hoskins right?

    This will be interesting. I was reading somewhere that there were like 6 decent 1b/DH free agent options out there but there were only 5 major league jobs that appeared to be available. Hopkins, Turner, Cooper, Santana, Martinez, Belt. So there might be a decent player out there looking for a job and time is getting short. I could see us picking up a guy on the cheap right before training camp. I'm fine with keeping that spot open for Yeli/Contreas etc but I wouldn't mind another upgrade either.

    Espada was Dusty Baker's bench coach. Dusty was 73 when he won last year with the Astros.

    It's at Citi Field. All the mets will be there anyway to clean out their lockers so it won't be a huge imposition to suit up one more time.

    Where do you get the high leverage bullpen numbers? I've been looking for them but can't find them. Our bullpen overall looks very mediocre but I didn't think it was that bad but couldn't find the stats to prove it.

    That play seemed very similar to the play when JJ Hardy broke his ankle with a late slide into home against the phillies. I'm wondering if at some point teams will start teaching players to just run through home plate similar to first base.

    Yamato gave up 3 ER in 1 1/3 innings today against the Mets. His season ERA is 11.42(in only two starts). He was optioned to the Marlins alternate camp after the game. Fangraphs had his career WAR at 0.7 prior to today's start. 0.9 for last season and -.2 for this season. He's still only 24 so he'll get some more shots but that hot start last season is looking more like a fluke. Lewis Brinson misplayed a ball in LF yesterday that led to the first Braves run. The Marlins were shutout yesterday so can't exactly blame the loss on Brinson but this sure didn't help. The play is at 4:28 in the video. Brinson is 26 and has 729 plate appearances in the bigs with a .182/.238/.290 slash line. If he can't even play decent defense in the OF it would appear that even a career as a 4th/5th OF similar to Keon Broxton is out of the question.
