    I agree with Chad's list only probably flipping Aoki and Ramirez just because of the injury. Ax should absolutely be traded because I can't see any logical scenario where we'd want to offer him arby next year.

    Weeks now has an OPS over .700!

    Fangraphs has Lucroy at 1.1 and Brantley at 0.6... I had thought they were unifying their formulas but I guess that hasn't happened yet

    The only two position players I'd trade him for are Harper and Trout since I think they are future hall of famers. Segura is a great player but I think he'll end up just a bit below them. There's a ton of impact pitching with ~1 or fewer years of MLB experience. Shelby Miller or Harvey would be pretty close and some of the top 15-ish prospects that haven't had much MLB experience would require a bit more. The only way I could conceivably see a trade involving Segura happen, though is if we had another near-ready SS and were trading Segura to a team with a black hole at SS and SP (or possibly 3B/1B) depth for a young star at that position.

    For what it's worth, Olt is still striking out at a 27% rate since returning from his injury. So unless he cuts that down or is able to maintain a very high BABIP in the majors, he's more likely to be a .250 hitter in the bigs than a .290 hitter. Obviously you can still be very successful while hitting .250. I think the point that some are trying to make is that last year it looked like he might end up being Prince Fielder with the bat. Now it looks like he might "only" be a right-handed Jay Bruce.

    Olt is probably a decent buy-low prospect at the moment given that he was a top 20 (ish?) prospect last year. The 32% K rate does worry me, though. Although if we traded for him and he kept up that rate, I think we'd finally have found our replacement for Branyan.

    Last night there were 13,259 fans in attendance. I wonder if it would be feasible to mobilize the BF.net fan base to rack up more IGT posts tomorrow than the attendance.

    2dn base - WOAH SOLVDD!!

    Let's let Francisco rack up at least 5-10 more at bats before we write him off.

    They don't really look too much alike... http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/aub/sports/m-basebl/auto_headshot/4302457.jpeg http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/aub/sports/m-basebl/auto_headshot/8527864.jpeg

    Actually looking at his stats at Auburn, he could be pretty solid. Hit .354 in 2013 (.324 in 2012). 37 walks in ~238 PA led to a .481 OBP. Doesn't seem like he has the most power in the world but at 6'6" 230, maybe he could find the power stroke?
  15. Dollarbill13
    At least he was born on Christmas... is he the Brewers' savior?
  16. Dollarbill13
    I just hope he can stick as a starter...

    If only the Brewers' farm system was as good as the sarcasm in this thread...

    It's probably too late now but I wish Melvin would have taken advantage of the ability to trade for competitive balance picks this year, especially given that he gave up our 1st rounder for Lohse. If nothing else, it would have increased our bonus pool to give us more flexibility in adding talent to our organization. I wonder what the Tigers would have wanted for the #39 pick. It would have added $1.4M to our bonus pool, which would be roughly the equivalent of moving from #54 to #14, at least in terms of dollars available.

    I am in 100% agreement with this. Don't care whether we get rid of Yuni or Gonzalez as either should be the last bat off the bench anyway.

    I'm actually starting to think 3/36 for ARam was a bargain. Oh I agree. The only bummer is that we weren't able to do anything with the big year he had last year - and we've got a long way to go before it will look like we can do anything this year.
  21. Dollarbill13
    His price tag for next year (including deferred money) may not be optimal but man that guy can still hit.

    I'm not going to argue that he's not in decline but I don't believe that he's finished as a productive 2B. He had an .800 OPS in the 2nd half last year which is still very good and his terrible start to this season seems to be driven by GB% (somewhat concerning) and BABIP (barely concerning)
  24. Dollarbill13
    What's really interesting is that Weeks isn't really hitting any fly balls anymore, which seems to have sapped his power. His LD% is actually above his career numbers. His strikeouts are higher than his career rate but they seem to be stabilizing since the first two weeks of the season. I personally think he's probably got a mechanical problem with his swing. His batting average should even out to the ~.240-.250 number that we've come to expect but if he doesn't start getting some more lift, he won't be able to compensate for the low average with the good power that we've seen in the past. Given that I don't believe we are a playoff team this year, with or without a returned-to-form Rickie Weeks, I would just keep him in the regular lineup and hope that he can prove that he's not done. Despite what some are saying on this site, 150 PA is certainly not a large enough sample size to be able to know that. If he rebounds at some point this year, I would be fine with trading him for a prospect in the offseason. The prospect of that 2015 vesting option scares me.

    I completely disagree. When renting, there's an expectation of quiet enjoyment but that doesn't allow you to completely dictate what takes place off your property. This is irrelevant. He's smoking on private property. There's a line that should be drawn between trying to live peacefully with your neighbors and letting your neighbors dictate your life. He said there are 25 ft between the two residences so the most the neighbor is getting is an occassional scent of smoke. This is really no different than an occassional smell of a grill, sound of a radio/lawnmower, color of a lawn ornament, etc. Or maybe start smoking on a more reguilar basis!
