How in the world did they botch that? -
That's pretty much where my response to your proposal ended up. Your personal perceived value guarantees that he stays a Brewer. As long as you're fine with that, then you can move on without need for more discussion, and it sounds like that's ok on your end as well.

Yeah, they received the #26 prospect in baseball at the time, who didn't make his MLB debut until two seasons later. There was no 'MLB proven talent' that headlined that deal. That deal was made at the trade deadline in 2016. At the end of 2016, Torres was consensus top 10 prospect and would make his debut in April 2018 barely over one season later. Not true, actually, as he was #17 in the MLB list pre-2017, and #15 by BP. Still, a bit of an odd point to argue, as regardless he wasn't 'MLB-proven' talent in any way, shape, or form. As nate suggested, a deal headlined by Gore or Patino/Abrams etc., would blow the Chapman trade out of the water.

1)The DH will exist in 2021, not necessarily guaranteeing that he's a backup. Additionally, he's good for 2-3 DL stints in a year, regardless. 2)I think there's a strong possibility we've seen the last of Cain in a Brewer uniform. 3)1B/3B are typically more easily addressed via trade/FA than CF. If you can get a legit CF for a modest cost, you should do it. 4)This trade would spare us from watching more games with Garcia or Gamel manning CF this year.... Marte has one year on his deal. We can't afford to deal from a thin farm system for a one year patch job. I am extremely curious where you come up with the thought that Cain won't be back when he has two years left at 15 million per. Getting a long term answer at first and third base is not as easy as you make it out to be. We haven't filled either of these positions long term in quite awhile. Again how are we possibly not going to have Cain on this team. Nobody is trading for him at that salary and we aren't going to pay someone to take him. First, Cain likely has some trade value, especially if packaged with someone. Second, I think there's a very strong possibility that he retires if coronavirus is still not under control by the spring, which is yet to be seen. Regarding first base, the Brewers have been able to put very capable first basemen on the field, despite the very accurate point that they haven't had a long-term solution there in years. This year didn't work out (though Gyorko certainly looks like he could be serviceable), but it doesn't mean they won't be able to find something else in the off season, either via trade or free agency.

Yet when is the last timewe had a real 1B on this team? I don't think it is as easy as you think to get a 3B and/or 1B or we would have done it by now. Unless you count guys like Sogard and Smaok as guys that will help us win. We can sign guys like them all day every day... How quickly we forget how awesome 2018 Aguilar was for the Brewers. Bottom line is, I think that if you have the opportunity to add a 3-4 WAR CF bat for a reasonable cost, you have to do it. That's a legit all-star level bat, which we are lacking right now.

Sorry, but that indicates that your value of Hader is off and pretty much assures that Hader is a Brewer for the next three years. Put it another way, would you go back 2-3 years and trade a young, cost-controlled Yelich for Aroldis Chapman? That's basically what you have the Padres doing here.
-
I'm not sure it's wise to count on then 35-year old Lorenzo Cain for anything, considering he already wasn't very good last year and has now basically missed an entire season. Obviously, it would also depend on what 'a ton' looks like. The Pirates basically traded him for two low-minors, high-upside lottery tickets earlier this year, so it's probably not excessive cost....
-
What's your proposal, then?
-
If the Brewers decide to 'buy' and acquire an actual CF, with an eye towards next year as well, Marte would be as good of an acquisition as they could feasibly do. No idea what cost would look like...
-
Obviously, if Gore is on the table, that's where you start. Is Gore/Trammell feasible? Abrams?
-
Oddly, his 2020 splits are equally bad vs. both RHP and LHP.
-
It won't. GMs of contending teams aren't idiots. They are idiots for the most part which is why I think we can get a monster package but Hader has walked a ton of guys this season and that can scare GMs off when the price is so hig to begin with. The Dodgers’ front office personnel are the literal opposite of an idiot, so that’s not a valid rationale.
-
He does only have this season left on his contract. Hopefully this is just the first domino to fall and they will still be interested in Hader as a long term solution at the back of their bullpen. Yes, they could certainly still be interested. It seemed likely they were going to add at least one bullpen piece this deadline and now they’ve met that bar. By no means am I suggesting Hader doesn’t remain a possibility for them, they certainly appear to have the players to make a deal work. Rosenthal is only 14 appearances removed from a hoooorible 2019. I think he’s a good get for the little they gave up, but I’m not sure he’s even a good bet to finish the season effectively.
-
This trade is a slam dunk if the Padres go for it. Three top 100 guys, two bats and a great arm.
-
It seems like you've decided that it's Lux or bust for Hader, which is possible but very limiting. As such, what would you propose a trade like that would look like? 1-for-1?
-
is this being installed in miller park next to the selig experience? Yes, but I don't expect it to be very popular. And that's different from the Selig experience?
-
Phelps is not elite. Never has been. At 33 he's not turning into an elite reliever. Many questions regarding revenue in 2021. A lot of fans are turned off by all sports right now. I believe the market for guys similar to Phelps will be depressed. I do find it interesting that people are making declarations about Lindblom, Garcia, etc. being 'failed free agent signings,' while then turning around and using the 'small sample size' argument for those that HAVE had success....
-
Last warning... anymore political posts and we're giving out time off. We're not letting more threads go completely off the rails.

I'll let one of our microbiology folks correct me if I'm wrong, but fever is more indicative of your immune system fighting off an 'infection', which in this case could be somewhat expected. Allergic reaction is more the swelling and other symptoms, I believe.
-
I think that's correct, reilly. I think what often happens is that a person is fighting something else off, and the flu shot causes their immune system to become a bit overwhelmed, causing them to feel really sick. That's why you're not supposed to get one if you have any symptoms. I didn't get a flu shot ever until we had kids, then I have had one every year since. Other than the sniffles I got as a result of the germs brought home from daycare and such, I generally have felt better in the winters since getting the shot than I did before.
-
Other than my Bill Hall noted above and my Brett Favre jersey card, most of my stuff is random NFL or NCAAFB stuff not associated with the Brewers or Wisconsin sports, so I'm not sure how much of an interest there would be. I certainly had that thought, though!

Has anyone lost confidence in Stearns
PeaveyFury replied to brewers888's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I believe you’ve mentioned this multiple times now. Is this based on actual data, or your personal assumptions? How can this not be the case. The Brewers play in the smallest market have a terrible local tv contract yet draw very well. I can't imagine another team being more hurt by not having fans in the stands. So to answer my question, it's not based on anything other than your own opinion. In a similar vein, I would think that due to the logo/uniform change, the Brewers may have benefited more than most teams this year in terms of merchandising revenue, so there's that. -
Lots of name brought up in this thread that I like as bats- Bohm, Vaughn, Larnach especially.
