    Santana 2019: -15 DRS | -15.7 UZR | -13 OAA Gamel 2019: +4 DRS | +2.5 UZR | +1 OAA These numbers aren't close either. Eh... just replace Santana late in games for Hernan or a fifth OF with d. Also, I wouldn't have been surprised if our creative coaching staff hid DS on certain at bats with a creative outfield shift. The bat plays. I'm not a Santana for All Star or MVP guy either. It's just odd that so many take Gamel over another .800 ops guy with a couple more years of control. If Gamel could steal a base in the 8th or 9th (ala Gomez), I'd think differently. His bat and speed limit him.

    These numbers aren't close: Career OPS- Santana 800.......... Gamel 719 Career OPS vs lefties Santana 831........ Gamel 747 Also, the Brewers would simply play Santana in right and have Yelich play multiple positions. Braun could play some 1B too. To say that Gamel is Mr. Flexible and Santana is a liability is somewhat scewed, seeing that Santana, on THIS team, would not hurt us since we have other flexible outfielders. Playing Gamel for defensive purposes and as a pinch hitter when contact is needed are the clear areas where Gamel is superior. No where else....

    Would Seattle or Milwaukee entertain a trade back?
  4. rickh150
    Still a bad trade (so far) whatever way you serve it up... We traded a solid power corner OF hitter, who on our team would have played way more than half the games because of injuries to Braun, Yelich and Cain. Santana could be a huge fill in for us against lefties, especially off the bench like he was last season. Braun moving to first could place him in the lineup batting possibly fourth against a lefty. Santana would look nice against all those Cubs lefties. So he struggles with d.... pull him in the seventh when we have a lead. If we have no lead, his bat plays. Gamel, right now, is more like the defensive fifth outfielder that we could find elsewhere. Hopefully, he continues to improve, but this is still a trade loss for DS.

    With a hitting lead off hitter, our line up looks tough against righties.... Grisham Hiura Yelich Grandal Braun Moose Thames Arcia

    75% Cubs fans In attendance live in Wisconsin? More like a quarter...

    I disagree 100%. Lots of season ticket holders make a lot of cash on the Cubs series'. Now you can charge them for tickets, plus the added bonus of opening day and jack those prices up even more. Sadly, the home field advantage will still be a wash, no matter when the Cubs play at Miller Park. Hopefully, those that sell to Cubs fans make a mint at least. And selling out just got easier. A sadder, but richer, fan base! One one hand....Is there no limit to what our best fans will give up for the almighty buck? Now it's Opening Day. Sadly, nothing is off limits, including playoffs. On the other..... If I had tickets to a big game and was offered, say $1000 profit for selling, it would be tough not to sell, and I probably would. Yet, the whole more Cubs fan in MP thing would sicken me to a point that it would have to be a lot more $ to sell out. Overall, it is each fan's choice at the moment.. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Brewers not allow bar codes to be sent until game day, crippling the secondary market to some extent.

    Par with other deals made when players with potential have a dip in performance.... Gennett (nothing), Santana, Aguilar.
  9. rickh150
    Because they had nobody that teams wanted to trade for at the deadline?

    If it were YOUR actual money, would you give so much guaranteed $ to a player after a mere partial season? We had numerous Bf net people giving Arcia a huge contract a year ago, and now it's conceivable that he is not with the team in the short or long term. There is no rush with either player now since they are playing for the league minimum through 2022. Give it a couple years. If this were the NFL where contracts aren't guaranteed and signing bonuses are the real discussion, then I would think more earnestly on the topic, not now. Hader is the better debate now.

    That is exactly what I meant in my previous post about the aesthetic value of baseball not being up to par in the current iteration of the game. Last night's game was an absolute abomination to watch. Agree and I love baseball... more contact, more action on the bases, less down time... the current action reminds me of current pro tennis with too many aces and unforced errors on the baselines. It was much better to watch in the 70s and 80s when the serve didn't dominate and net play was more common.
  14. rickh150
    If under .500 baseball is bad, I agree with you. It has been more ugly than anything, though. We haven't a pitcher to rely on, and half the team seems to be dealing with injuries.
  15. rickh150
    How does this loss column work in your mind? Explain, please. I, for one, look at the loss column as a secondary thing after record and games behind/ahead because those losses are games that you simply can't get back. It is Never too early to look at the loss column and games played because it gives a better view of how things actually are in a playoff race.

    Are the Packers incapable of signing a decent veteran quarterback that has had some success somewhere ever? Seems like a task force needs to be formed in GB to take on this seemingly impossible thing...
  17. rickh150
    Your Cubs didn't implode last season? Ha! They surely did, and I' m pretty sure most Cubs fans would agree with me. You are right in that they did not play poorly over the last few months, decent record. Yet, despite having the BEST NL record on the last Saturday morning of the season (before Game 161), they THEN lost their last 3 of 4 (ALL at HOME against three separate teams) to end their season. They were not among the last eight teams in the playoffs. I know the Brewers implosions of 2014 and 2017 are different, and their 2004 season is all together a different implosion (only team ever to be 10 games over .500 at All Star break that finished at least 10 games below at season's end?); yet, if the 2018 Cubs end of year isn't an implosion, what is?
  18. rickh150
    When you need at least four relievers every game you have to be a little judicious about how often they have guys throwing in the bullpen. CC is usually taking guys out early, if anything.
  19. rickh150
    I think I'd take the 1-1 if given the option. I don't feel that the Packers are going anywhere this year with a new coach, 2nd Year defensive coach, and many new players on defense especially. The Vikings and Bears are supposed to be fairly ok this year, and it would be tough digging out of an 0-2 start, especially in division. No one can reasonably expect 2-0, as well. An early win could go a long way, and a bad losing streak could further the crack between Coach and mvp.
  20. rickh150
    "Fix the Bullpen" is actually make the entire pitching staff the bullpen... it might be the answer!
  21. rickh150
    I am...
  22. rickh150
    It has never been done with a rotation this bad and/or hurt. Better odds to finish below .500..... That being said, it's baseball and anything is possible. Hoping for another great run this fall where we can put it all together.
  23. rickh150
    Bears on the road... Vikings at home... Would you take 1-1 out of the gate or just play them out in hopes of 2-0 with a possibility of 0-2?
  24. rickh150
    No idea when Hader is coming into a game anymore.... pitches 3 straight with Cubs up next, now cannot pitch 2 straight with Thursday looming as an off day.
  25. rickh150
    Shoulda mentioned before the double.... but we a pinch runner for Grandal made sense when he was on 1st and still does with him on 3rd. Put Shaw in at 1st for the 9th.
