  1. Frelick hitting #4? Sure he feels really comfy there.
  2. No options. How about the 300 aVG, 900 +OPS 1B in AAA with no errors at the position, who hit ..776 OPS with us last season.
  3. Better to get nothing and see him in Dodger blue next year? I think they will get low balled on August 1, at the deadline, and take the best of the meh deals. Would you trade Misiorowski and Frelick for him and a legit swing at a World Series in 2023? Last year of CC? Stadium deal in the balance?
  4. And with how he hit as DH last year…and DH isn’t for everybody. Some would and have found it tough to just sit and hit four or five times a game. 98 PA, .949 OPS
  5. You gotta be kidding with this all.. he hit last year, this year. If you want career, his career #’s are better than a large majority on this team. This year, last year…. and what trumps it all is the guy Winker actually getting now 196 PA!!!! Throw his stats next to Winker’s. Your picking stats from 2021? Better include 2019 then too. The team is Crazy, dumb and stubborn with this issue. Put.last year Hiura in DH this year, even with his supposedly “bad” stats from last year, it plays big time this year. He could bat cleanup!
  6. Not really…Peralta, Ashby, Gasser, Misiorowski…. Several others show promise.
  7. The standard should be doing the most with what you have. It could be this lineup now without even a trade, I was all for keeping Winker because of a high OBP even without hitting well, but it’s been four months and we are in a pennant race. Just play the best players in the best roles.
  8. Respectfully disagree. Let him play. He stinks? He goes. Risk losing him? That’s why he is still in AAA? Ha. If he is good, guess what? He has arby with us for two more years. Not knowing wastes that potential, as well. Organizational depth is nothing when we are getting squat at DH. And DH should have the most candidates since defense really is not in the equation, even on the Brewers with our man Winker reminding of this daily. Letting talent sit while dumpster fire 🔥 burns daily.
  9. Would anyone trade Frelick and Misioroski for Ohtani?
  10. Hiura has not made an error at 1B in over 100 innings there this year. Hiura hit .949 OPS as DH last year in 98 PA. Last year’s MLB numbers make him our 3rd best hitter this year. Hiura arguably has the best hitting numbers in the entire system this year at AAA. For every other player in the system it seems (except Winker), performance matters. And it’s not like there isn’t a carved out role for him to play… he can DH! He could even play some 1B while a Tellez is out. Just end the madness. Bring him up or cut the guy already.
  11. Smart baseball men make mistakes. And this is one. Whether it’s not playing Hiura, letting Winker DH regularly for four months, or something else, our DH spot has been a dumpster fire. And this DH position has been a problem for going on two years now. And yes, the organization is without excuse for this. Random fans on brewerfanatic would have managed this position better.
  12. Compared to Winker? Equal chance? Both Black, Hiura, and a traded bat or two.
  13. Do we go to the lock down well again for 7-9?
  14. Must be a difficult dog no one wants to watch.
  15. I’d like to see this lineup. Defensive replacement opportunities late at 1B and 2B. Best hitting lineup all year, and it could be possible tomorrow. Then look to add trade deadline deals at 1B and/or RF. Frelick RF Monasterio 3B Yelich LF Contreras C Miller 2B Adames SS Black DH Hiura 1B Wiemer CF
  16. Taylor, Perkins, Anderson(hurt), Wiemer….. not great coverage offensively in RF or CF. Frelick had a great debut, but arguably he could have been 0-3 with seeing eye singles. I’m all for a rental with .780 OPS to fill 2023. Super great promise in OF from 2024-2028 with Yelich and just our prospects, though. I am ok with Wiemer sitting a bit more with Frelick up. Sure.
  17. Not a fan of using this guy as a trade chip. How many organizational corner infielders with MLB bats do have have or have had in the last, what, 12 years? Play him at 3rd or 1st. Honestly, I am really excited for our young lineup from 2024-2027. Lots of hitting prospects in OF, C (Quero), and Black. And the SPEED!
  18. I expect Hiura up tomorrow.
  19. No reason to… agreed. But he did more than enough to get DH at bats throughout the year, especially late, especially against right handed batters. Stupid and stubborn.
  20. Really do not look forward to seeing heart of order hit…joke.
  21. Awful looking at bats by Adames….
  22. How much hate? I think there is very little here. Sending him down is not a huge negative to him long term. Short term, it could actually help him at the plate. On the other hand To the positive, he needs to play against lefties with an .897 OPS
