Starting Pitching - 2019 Trade Deadline Edition
PeaveyFury replied to Eye Black's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I’d rather use resources for Diaz, honestly. -
This is exactly what UW did a couple of years ago, FWIW. And virtually no ado about anything. Far, far more restrictive: https://uwbadgers.com/sports/2016/11/9/carry-in-policy.aspx
-
This I agree with 100%...if you are going to buy, you must buy big, otherwise, what's the point?? Might as well just stand pat then. Which is what many of us hope happens.

2019 Most Likely to Get Traded?
PeaveyFury replied to balsamlaker's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Honestly, I'm not really advocating for selling (barring a horrendous week/getting swept by the Cubs), I just think that they're going to make minor, smarter moves to acquire Soria/Swarzak type relievers rather than making gigantic acquisitions. To continue my analogy, they're sitting there with a pair of nines and calling, rather than going all in and hoping for that third nine. And that's probably the right play. -
And if you didn't make your suggested moves, what would your estimated win totals be with Yelich, Hader, etc.?

2019 Most Likely to Get Traded?
PeaveyFury replied to balsamlaker's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
This is exactly the opposite of what a small market team needs to do to be successful. You have to know when to hold em and so forth. Honestly Brewcrewin07, does this TRULY feel like a hold 'em year to you? With Woodruff's injury and the hot mess much of the staff is, even if they are in contention in September, they seem destined to be a "fart in the wind", as Ron Wolf so eloquently put it. Going all in this year feels like doing so with a pair of 9's. Could it work out? Sure. Is it more likely you get burned? Probably. -
Jeffress has crazy good movement on the breaker tonight.
-
They're a pitching-starved team that just lost their ace who they've ridden to a bunch of wins this year. Hiura, Thames and Braun are nicked up heading into one of the most important weeks of the season thus far. They're going to have to decide whether filling the 3-4 holes they have is worth it, and I won't be shocked if they decide it's not if they drop a bunch of games this week.

How much money do the Brewers have left to spend?
PeaveyFury replied to TexasCheesehead's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
We've been through this time and time again. He IS doing what he said he would. Payroll is substantially higher and has been for the past two seasons. You're hung up on them not reaching a mythical number that you pull out of nowhere. Also, you DO realize that simply reducing payroll in 'rebuilding' years DOES NOT equal a dollar-for-dollar increase in net profit, right? Attendence, concession, parking, etc. revenue drops significantly when the team isn't doing well. Simply saying that they can slash payroll $20 million and pay off that $20 million of debt is massively flawed, especially when you don't know where the breakeven point even is. -
Very, very plausible.
-
Man. Now they need any acquisition to replace, rather than upgrade. Absolutely brutal.
-
No word yet on a corresponding move.
-
It was a horrible call, no doubt he went. It’s was still 1-2 though, so Woody had a chance to put him away. He finished the AB with 3 straight balls. Completely fair point.
-
Boy, horrendously bad calls that go against the Brewers always seem to precede a mess.
-
Do front offices in pro sports follow fan boards?
PeaveyFury replied to homer's topic in Off-Topic Forum
I have absolutely zero doubts that someone from Brewers marketing/media relations is reviewing sites like ours on a regular basis. Not sure if that involves anyone in the 'front office,'/baseball ops, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if some things make it back that way. -
Holy hell. DS needs to get Saladino off the team ASAP to prevent garbage like him in LF ever happening again. I'd soooo prefer to have Perez back if this is how they're going to use that UT role...
-
According to that trade values website, that offer is light, FWIW. And I agree with nate. Basically creating two new holes to obtain a modest at best upgrade going from Davies to Thor doesn't work in my mind if the goal is to compete this year.
-
Out of curiosity, what are you basing that on?
-
Yeah, it'd be a monster deal for sure. Arcia, Lutz, Turang, and Ray probably does it (and works on that values site), but that's probably it for moves, barring a minor Xavier Cedeno-esque type acquisition.
-
If you could land Diaz and Lugo from the Mets, I think that's a trade that solves a lot of problems now and sets the team up very, very well going forward. Anyone willing to speculate on what that deal would look like?
-
Keston Hiura called up, Shaw optioned
PeaveyFury replied to jjgott's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Not really. Get rid of Saladino and bring back Perez (or trade a PTBNL for Sogard if you are so inclined), and option down Gamel. Have Thames share time with Braun in the OF and have Shaw/Moustakas share time at 1B and 3B with Perez/Sogard being the utility INF and 5th OFer. Well, I suppose it isn't hard then if you're willing to ignore defense and defensive runs saved/allowed. -
Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how'd you enjoy the play?
-
You’re assuming it’s about Syndergaard and then go on to list a bunch of players pretty much no team wants, much less for players like Syndergaard? They would be fillers or "throw ins" on top of prospects. I'm pretty sure the Mets would take Davies as a piece. I'll agree that they'd be interested in Davies, but it doesn't make much sense for the Brewers to give him up. I think Arcia and Peralta are the logical ones that the Mets would want to take a look at.
-
Lugo would be a very nice acquisition, but if peralta is the price, I'd certainly hope it's part of a larger deal.
-
FWIW Stroman has given up 49 runs in 110.2 IP, Davies 42 in 109.2. Poor guy is like Rodney Dangerfield around here. Your really going to use that as your argument? Yesterday is a perfect example why Davies xFIP is 5.19 If it’s wasnt for Cain and our defense, Davies would have given up like 5 runs. Stroman xFIP is a whole run less Yeah, it's dangerous just to use runs allowed. Stroman's numbers are very much better overall.
