    That was the Brewers own doing…poor guy.

    Jose Ramirez for Made, MYers, Letson, and change…. Brewers would get a legit 3B/1B thru 2028 for roughly $78 million. The cost would be steep with a lack of big bat in MLB and a large hole seemingly since Molitor in Milwaukee. Start with elite Made and add a couple of promising arms to help Guardians reload.

    I got to 7-0…then somehow lost to Pirates on a Monday night in late June.

    Arguably the best-positioned young talent we have ever had… - A second MLB caliber starting rotation in minors or bullpen (Henderson, Patrick, Gasser, Ashby, Hall, Rodriguez) - The most and highest ranked SS prospects ever in team history, all in top 100 lists (Made, Pratt, Pena) - A top catcher at MLB level AND at AAA (Contreras and Quero) - As a hitter/pitcher tandem, perhaps the most exciting young players in the game (Chourio/Miz) - The most team-controlled OF, as in seasons per contract (Chourio 7 and 2 CO, Frelick 5, Mitchell 4, Perkins 5, Yelich 4 and MO, Collins 7) -AAA and AA first half champs at Nashville and Biloxi; High A and A in second place at WI and Carolina

    The Brewers seem to be valuing small, short-armed guys who can get to the hard fastball. The value is that they also can play defense and steal a base..

    Stop is green and the go buttons are red? I’d switch those colors immediately to match the rest of civilization.
  7. rickh150
    Can’t imagine the get for give would be much anyways. The IL likely has scared some teams off too. And If we keep him, the big question might be if he is even on the playoff roster.

    This might be a time to put Durbin at #2 and slide everyone down a spot or two. Durbin has a better OBP for the YEAR than Yelich….and way better than about anyone lately. And he can steal bases much better than current #2 in Contreras. This lineup feels a lot better than having slower Contreras at 2, 21 year old Chourio at 4 and rather light hitting 2Ndhalf hitter Turang at 5 Frelick Durbin Chourio Yelich Contreras Bauers/Vaughn Collins Turang Ortiz

    My guess is that each game is 30-35,000….
  10. rickh150
    The PPI extra draft pick should have nothing to do with breaking opening day with the club….takes some incentive away from actually winning it.
  11. rickh150
    Arnold (and Stearns still) gets so much credit for this incredible run from 2017 til now in 2025. We are either in playoffs or a game out (2017 and 2022). Is there precedent? A+ Regular season……D Playoffs, though.
  12. rickh150
    No way they give him anything more than A Peralta like deal….too much risk with arms. Paying him about nothing thru 2028 looks good too.
  13. rickh150
    The contract. Makes this an easy no. He would easily make more than all of our OFs put together.and that’s including those on the IL and at AAA. We have a great looking OF for the next several years in talent and cost. Still believe in Mitchell….still think he can be good.
  14. rickh150
    Whew
  15. rickh150
    I am all for a 6 man rotation...add Woodruff to save innings on our young guys.....well, save on everyone is fine too. Skip a start here and there. Play match up with the opponent a bit. I'm fine starting Hall or Ashby too when their innings are lacking. Brewers have Henderson in the wings too...so many seemingly good options.
  16. rickh150
    I'm not seeing any upside here. Civale provided starting pitching depth. And if there is no money to be saved? Vaughn and his salary won't be picked up next year and I can't see him playing MLB this season. Must have been a much bigger issue in the clubhouse than what's being reported.
  17. rickh150
    Ricky Vaughn has all 3 options left according to Fangrapks...likely viewed as a possible poor man's replacement for Hoskins next year...in his 5th year....if he is sent to AAA we have him for 2026/2027.
  18. rickh150
    Go pitch for yourself as a White Sock, apparently.
  19. rickh150
    Right as in moral? Sure. It isn't a sin to asked to be moved to another team. Right as in player's right to do under his contract/CBA? Sure again..he is allowed to ask for a trade. Right as in player/team code of etiquette? Probably not good to do it publicly and in the midst of a pennant race. Managers/Gms want no distractions and everyone pulling in the same direction. Teams like Milwaukee really value that positive team culture in the clubhouse. Asking out is not a good look no matter how good he thinks he is. Right now, he is pitching like our 6th or 7th best starter. And Henderson is really the guy getting shortchanged now, not Civale.
  20. rickh150
    Murphy probably could have avoided this all by just saying 6 man rotation....and skipping starts of Civale and the young guys from time to time to limit innings. That would have made sense to most. He'll seemingly have to do this with Patrick/Priester/Miz down the line anyways. Tact.
  21. rickh150
    I see Civale as a tough guy to trade IF we do not want to eat his salary. If we have to eat 4 million plus and receive little in return, then just keep him as insurance. I get why he is frustrated....I did not think he pitched terribly. I liked having him in the rotation, actually. But Henderson is likely coming up again to spot start or pitch out of the bullpen again....he's been better. And I would put the Ps, Peralta, Priester, and Patrick ahead of Civale now too....and the Miz.
  22. rickh150
    Glad we are doing this type of trade to address rotation. We cannot keep top veteran starters after 6-7years, cannot bid on top FA pitchers, and should not give long contracts early to good but injury prone starters unless getting a Peralta like special. Well worth the risk. Needed.
  23. rickh150
    Now this line backer….they can put Woodruff off until July.
  24. rickh150
    We have tons of trade able assets…seemingly! Packaging some of these for actual needs at MLB 3B, for instance, makes too much sense to be delayed much longer. Being deep is one thing, and boy are the Brewers deep. But keeping some really good prospects at stacked positions doesn’t add up. Take SS for instance…. Ortiz is not doing well, but you have Turang that COULD slide over easily. And then you have the most talented trio of SS in minor league baseball in Pratt, Made, and Peña. I know they could slide to 2B or 3B, but one could or even should be moved or packaged to address needs at the major league level. And you could do the same with the starters….seemingly.
  25. rickh150
    A few more takes and jabs… The Brewers are totally delaying bringing Woodruff up….they know they remarkably have better options. Has anyone been nursed back from injury in such a long drawn out way before in Brewers history? Especially a SP making $18 mill? I know he needs time to throw after major shoulder surgery, but they are seemingly gladly delaying this out. No rush. No hurry. Maybe even no need? Again, the only way I see this deal being worthwhile is if he wins a playoff game as a starter. Crazy use of money for a small market team…huge risk. Brewers have to be ecstatic to have Hall AND, wow and Ashby throwing middle relief again. Multiple innings, 2 lefty options at lefty hitters in middle inning rally times. Just so wow to have that to pair with the back of our pen. Trading a starter or two is not out of the question in order to get a veteran 3B bat. Teams falling out of contention looking to restock arms deals veteran bat…..seems about right. And Hiura got a hit tonight…..no surprise. 😳
