    Picking up a starter is still a goal, I hope. They need innings covered with all these young SP’s innings going up.

    How many were actually relieved? I was surprisingly relieved. I wanted a controlled pitcher back without the injury history this season. And still am glad we are not parting with some of our young starters. On the other hand, we could have beat this offer rather easily. We are not deep with top milb pitching. And that hurt a bit, I’m guessing.

    Jansen would be the sweetener to the ask.
  4. rickh150
    And I Like the idea of trading to other small markets…If our prospects do well there, I feel ok….much more so than I would in a big market.
  5. rickh150
    On the other hand, we can’t play all these “good” prospects in the MLB anyways! Might as well trade some for premium talent that can help immediately. Somewhere in the middle is the answer.
  6. rickh150
    And bring up Fischer. A heat check on his bat would be nice t see.
  7. rickh150
    Seems like Detroit wants a very good pitcher to send back as the headliner. I’d trade Gasser and Pena; that would be richer than most offers I’d think. If Henderson, then the minor league pieces get smaller, maybe Fischer and Ragsdale. And I’d like to do a Melvin where I say this is the package, don’t shop it, and get an answer right away. Offer these lucrative packages, get a quick response, and pivot to other players. I hate the idea of us waiting around to see if our prospect package is chosen when we could making other deals.

    Listened to Nightengale yesterday…think it was him or Passan, just mentioning how several above avg SP are trade candidates now. The average team looking for a SP should be able to find one and the price is heading down. I was surprised at this but it made sense with so many American League teams under .500 and not playing well, even if only a few games out of wild card races. The strategy could be to just pick ten guys and find the best deal. We need a good arm or two.
  9. rickh150
    And I'd love a good pitcher back with control for a couple more seasons...not a rental.
  10. rickh150
    For this kind of arm with great results in 2026 and control for two more seasons after this one, I would tend to think the price would be high.... higher than Quero, Crow, and change. I think we'd have to add another top 20 piece of ours since the bidding is driving up prices with all the teams desperate for starting pitching.
  11. rickh150
    Fine with Freddie coming back. I think it is a real possibility and that he would or could go solid 5 innings keeping us in games yet..
  12. rickh150
    We obviously need a starter or two. Come now. This is a definite. And no one should be against this. And quality he should be…as in at least a part of a current rotation. Not a guy in his first or second year either. I fear we got a young staff that has some injury issues already and now they are in months 5 and 6. Don Sutton ala 1982 would be a find. I would like the team to have the same urgency of finding a good starting pitcher NOW, just as if Miz and Harrison are kinda hurt and their availability is a question mark. And sadly that is kind of true NOW. The question is how much losing early in playoffs because of lack of aggressiveness at the deadline would bother them. It would bother me more this year and I think the Brewers fans in general expect a big move this year because of the teams make up and the huge and ridiculous prospect pool that we have stored up.
  13. rickh150
    Is it nuts to think one or both of Made/Fischer are call ups in September? This doesn’t mean they are on the team in March. Could be a big difference maker if we do not trade for a bat.
  14. rickh150
    He’s the right handed 1B of 2027 to pair with some left handed rookie. It’s a great situation.
  15. rickh150
    I just hate the idea of trading Frelick or Turang, no matter ho much sense it makes n the near future. They are just BRewers in every way, kind of like how Gorman was in the day..
  16. rickh150
    More likely to start a little late and agree to kick the can down the road on certain topics.
  17. rickh150
    I don't see this at all. If he continues to play well, he'll play more. It's just crammed with Bauers in the OF too, and I'm glad it's this way. Mitchell and Yelich could and probably will have more off days in August...or one will be hurt. I am glad Lara is up and getting the time that he is getting. When Sal and Lockridge both come back, then I get more concerned about who plays.
  18. rickh150
    Overall, these are the deals to get excited about! A close down closer? This year! I wouldn't do the deal if just one of these were true.... - if he wasn't in the top 5 relievers in the game. He might be #1. He could slip and still be top 20. -Miller only had a year or two left. The 3 years after this one has me sold. - we weren't loaded at infield talent for the next 8-10 years. Don't trade just to trade, but this is depth at its deepest....maybe deeper here than we have been anywhere at any time! - Pena was hitting well at higher levels. That is still a question mark....maybe not a big one but still. I remember when our can't miss catcher prospect a couple years ago was a top 100 prospect. Then he got hurt and there was slippage....nah, Pena is still a low level prospect with at least some doubt.
  19. rickh150
    With Frelick out, there are plenty of days for four or five guys to get playing time in outfield or DH. I really don't want Mitchell playing 3 consecutive days with his injury history. Yelich can sit a day or two every week. Bauers can play RF/LF once or twice a week to help get Vaughn in there more....Lara is fine with playing 2 games or 3 games in a series and then 1 in another.
  20. rickh150
    Bringing in an infielder with control doesn't make sense since we have umpteen guys coming up to play the infield positions soon. But two of those guys ala Pena/Williams/Hamilton/Ortiz could be going back to Washington. The whole lack of avg defense throws a dark red flag on this trade, though. Unless we are thinking get a lead and replace with defense late. I also think it could be Pratt at 3B, Turang at SS, and Made at 2B in 27 and 28 with Ortiz/Williams and orHamilton as backups. I still look at at TALL Pratt and see a 3B body.
  21. rickh150
    Pena and change at lower levels for Miller. We have huge relief innings to fill with our starters all being questionable health wise and many just going 5 innings. This move alone would solidify the back of the bullpen and allow Ashby to pitch more innings early and less late for the time being. I also figure we are picking up a SP at some point anyways....even if it is Quntana. That is coming. And both Gasser and Henderson have vacation homes on the IL. Almost a given that one of those is not finishing the season. Also, I'm not eager to give up on most of these young starting pitchers of ours, especially if just for a rental. And this wouldn't be for a rental. This would be a major get solidifying innings 7-9. I also doubt we are resigning Megil so we need a closer anyways for 27-28.
  22. rickh150
    Oddly it felt Murphy tried to stretch him in May/June games when the lead was comfortable….AND even after he had been removed from games for fear of injury. Why the great concern now if not then?
  23. rickh150
    1. How about have all warning tracks in baseball the same width? Let’s start there. 2. And there are written notes of players’ foul balls in the press box…those things made dents and holes. How about raise that back net a few feet, 3. Pretty much every first row railing in the Loge bleachers needs to be raised….someone could easily fall. 4. Padding and gaps around the edges of the field could easily be given an upgrade.
  24. rickh150
    Ryan has a mutual option for 2027, correct? He's basically a FA after 2026.
  25. rickh150
    A Miller closing for the Brewers...who's writing this script?
