    And that's where I think we're going to have to agree to disagree. If you're evaluating a trade while completely excluding (or simply noting him as a "plus") the acquisition in said trade of a young, controlled starting pitcher who has performed exceptionally well this year and may well end up as the most valuable piece of the trade in the end, I'm not sure you're evaluating the trade fairly. Then again I also referenced Zach Davies as a plus, and he lead the 2020 Padres in innings and quality starts and was 2nd on the staff in terms of WHIP and FIP. Can agree or disagree with the premise its fine, but at least read carefully. Thanks for reiterating, but I did indeed notice it, and doesn't effect the fact that dismissing Lauer as a 'plus' is inherently unfair. Problem is, Davies is no longer with the Padres and my response was future-looking. Zero people will/should/can argue anything other than that the Padres 'won' year one of the trade. But the Brewers are winning year two, and look poised to end up with the better return in the long run as well. Dismissing the Lauer part of the trade is dismissive of the total return the Brewers got, which as I noted, may end up being the bigger part of the deal. If the Brewers end up essentially trading a .770 OPS outfielder for years of a cheap 3-4 starter and a solid 3B/UTIL guy, that ends up just fine for Milwaukee, while many in San Diego will barely remember that Davies even pitched there by then.

    Clearly, that's the Brewers desired outcome. But, what I take issue with here is your attempt to categorize a draft pick as something related to the performance/expectations for Luis Urias. At best, it's a stretch. More likely, it's completely off base. The Brewers likely drafted Black because of his potential, his position on the draft board, and his signability/bonus demands relative to their remaining draft bonus pool. Trying to lump that draft pick into anything related to Urias or the current construct of the Major League is almost certainly off-base.
  4. PeaveyFury
    Exactly my opinion as well. Curtiss pitched in something crazy like 5 of 7 games after being acquired, including fresh off the plane. Zero chance to work with the catchers in advance to get them used to movement, style, etc. Add in less rest than ideal or being asked to face more RHB than they'd probably have preferred Norris to, and they were setup for initial failure, IMO.
  5. PeaveyFury
    Yes, if that was truly NO's reasoning, they're going to be disappointed when the field is neutral at best for them. I literally know people who are seriously talking about making the trip as Packer fans that weren't going to N.O.
  6. PeaveyFury
    He (and Curtiss) got a raw deal by getting forced into situations they wouldn't otherwise have been forced into during the bullpen COVID issues. Now that he's being used as 'planned', the results match what I assume the FO expected.
  7. PeaveyFury
    And what percentage of those guys actually do?
  8. PeaveyFury
    I would bet a bajillion dollars that their draft picks are completely independent of anything related to the MLB roster, mostly because that's a horrendous way to draft.
  9. PeaveyFury
    Yeah, the Reds lack pitching and their offense will only continue to age. With St. Louis kind of stuck in no-man's land where they're not really bad enough to rebuild and not truly that great overall, I agree.
  10. PeaveyFury
    Four losses in a row for the Reds, and six of their last eight. They appear to be imploding. It would be the most Cardinals thing ever to have the Reds and Padres both collapse, allowing the Cards to slide into the last WC spot...
  11. PeaveyFury
    I know there was a serious cap crunch and all, but I just can't believe that the plan for 2021 is Lancaster/Lowry at DE again. I just can't.
  12. PeaveyFury
    It's possible that St. Brown still needs more time and reps to be something, hence a PS spot. If he can stay healthy and actually develop this year, he has a good chance of getting elevated at some point this year with an inevitable injury.
  13. PeaveyFury
    Reports are they plan to do so starting shortly, just FTR.
  14. PeaveyFury
    I haven't gone back to compare those very good Brewers' staffs of the early 80s, but I have to think that it's likely we're witnessing the best pitching staff in the history of the franchise.
  15. PeaveyFury
    Both teams traded from a position of surplus to yield positive results for each side. Not shocking when you're discussing two of the best front offices in the game, factoring in budget/market factors.
  16. PeaveyFury
    Damarious Randall as well. Wonder if he'll blame that cut on Mike McCarthy somehow.... Letting Daniels go seemed stunning at the time, but in the end they made the right decision at the right time, as you noted, and as they usually do.
  17. PeaveyFury
    I mean, regardless of what transpired previously, in the end he pulled a knife on a teammate. Probably dismissal from the team worthy regardless of how the situation plays out. Not a 'he said, she said' that proved to be false.
  18. PeaveyFury
    How about this one? That’s absolutely nuts. Two missed pitches all game, both on legit borderline strikes? Sign me up for that….
  19. PeaveyFury
    What in the world happened to the guy? It seemed insane that he was put on Waivers then had no one claim him, now he's axed a month after getting acquired? Insanity....
  20. PeaveyFury
    That made me laugh.
  21. PeaveyFury
    It would be REALLY fully if they traded the 7th they got for Hollman to get Bojoroquez and then just resigned Hollman.
  22. PeaveyFury
    I'll never really understand what happened with Scott. Until halfway through the 2019 season, he looked like a homerun.
  23. PeaveyFury
    Corey Bojorquez was pretty good in his three seasons with Buffalo, earning two All-Pro votes last year. Monster leg.
  24. PeaveyFury
    No shocks thus far based on the names that have been released. Have a weird feeling that this is the year the Packers pick up a veteran cut, especially with the extra lead time to the game next week.
  25. PeaveyFury
    St. Brown is the guy that never was, as adam noted. Immense potential, constantly derailed by injuries, and seemed to get in Aaron's doghouse a couple of times. Too bad, but completely unsurprising that they moved on.
