    What does Murph need to be a Hall of Famer? First ever 3 consecutive MOTY. I think he’s a shoo in if he gets another ring.
  2. DonBarclay
    Quero should get a 4th option year added this offseason due to missing all of 2024.
  3. DonBarclay
    Let’s not close the book entirely on Yeli to the HoF…he’s got one path that left that doesn’t have a 0.0% chance. Brewers 3-peat with Yeli as captain (with good postseason performances) and his 2027/2028 replicate his 2025 season. That would put him at least into a legitimate conversation, and is >0.0% (probably not >0.1% though).

    I don’t think his trade value is much more than a bag of balls at this point, unfortunately. Out of options, no power profile, and severe defensive limitations. Some 95+ loss team probably would take a flier on him for a non-prospect lottery ticket, but that’s about it. Only possible way he sticks in Milwaukee is if Bauers declines the QO and they feel like Black can be a lefty platoon mate for Vaughn for 2 months while Burke and Fischer get AAA ABs. I’d put that at about 3% likelihood.
  5. DonBarclay
    You’d have to assume he’d be at bare minimum and equal defender there than Vaughn/Bauers, and probably better just given his range.
  6. DonBarclay
    I thought the same thing, and looked it up before I posted it. 5’10” is pretty short for a first baseman. Agreed, it’s outlandish. But, not a long term suggestion. Really only works if Vaughn is actually an every day player and hits righties, with Hamilton being a once very two weeks guy to give him a day off. Based on his career low 700s OPS vs Righties; I doubt that Vaughn will suddenly be an 150 game starter.
  7. DonBarclay
    I think Luke Adams is the righty backup if Bauers comes back. Primarily backup 1B, can play 3B in late game situations if needed due to pinch hitting. Not a high enough prospect where you feel like you need to get him consistent ABs.
  8. DonBarclay
    Stay with me here, but how about this for a wild (and unlikely) scenario. Bauers walks, bring back Vaughn, and Hamilton becomes his platoon partner with a Jesus Made extension and taking over 3B. Hamilton and Ortiz become the backup infielders with Made, Pratt, Turang, and Vaughn as the primary starters.
  9. DonBarclay
    I’d be extremely surprised if we don’t see some combination of Naylor/Quero backing up Contreras in 2027.
  10. DonBarclay
    This puts the 40 man at 33 guys, including those on the 60 day IL. Have to assume Jett, Adams, and Wagoner are added before the deadline. I don’t see any non tender candidates, unless they decide Vaughn is too expensive. So essentially 36 is the starting point to consider additional protection against the rule 5 draft and free agent acquisitions.
  11. DonBarclay
    The brewers have extended the QO to Jake Bauers. I’d be surprised if he signs it.
  12. DonBarclay
    Yea, pretty far fetched. Brewers would need to add a significant piece to Ortiz to get Painter, much less Painter and Rincon.
  13. DonBarclay
    Today is one of those games where it would be great if Yeli could still play a serviceable LF. Put Chourio in RF and Sanchez at DH. Obviously that’s not happening (nor should it), but him having zero defensive ability is hamstringing the flexibility a bit.
  14. DonBarclay
    Lara in CF and Sal in right is such a minuscule downgrade. Worth hitting Sanchez there.
  15. DonBarclay
    Hamilton has a 10000% chance of making the roster. Only backup IF and best pinch runner. The only thing keeping him off the roster is if he gets hit by a bus. Same with Drohan.
  16. DonBarclay
    When it’s coming from the same guy that was arguing in mid August that the Brewers should decline Contreras $12m option and non-tender him, I just keep scrolling.
  17. DonBarclay
    This series has back to back to back games without a day off in games 3-5. Have to assume you cannot throw the A bullpen in the way they did against SD over that stretch. They’ll need a deeper bullpen, and Drohan and Patrick will be used.
  18. DonBarclay
    You forgot Juan Francisco, Chris Carter, and Dave Krynzel.
  19. DonBarclay
    Every time he speaks, I’m reminded of this quote from Murph. Had me dying laughing.
  20. DonBarclay
    This game not meaning anything only made me very so slightly less annoyed at another Lara backwards K.
  21. DonBarclay
    Jiwhan Bae and Johnny Rockets will get rings.
  22. DonBarclay
    Now that everything is clinched, today looks like the perfect time to go get 3-4 from Richardson then swap him out for Wilson tomorrow.
  23. DonBarclay
    It’s at 38 because Kuhnel and Zastryzny didn’t have any options left, and didn’t have a spot on the 26 man. So they had to be DFA’d.
  24. DonBarclay
    They really should send Harrison down and call up Crow. Harrison is done for 2026. I look forward to him coming back strong in 2027
  25. DonBarclay
    Knowing you’re putting in Harrison is all the more reason to pinch hit for Sal and try to score some more runs. Wild.
