    I wonder how much of our payroll that Cub fans are directly responsible for. Conservatively figure 20,000 at each home game x 10 home games, each one spending an average of 50 bucks or so (Miller Park average is 40, but these are marquee prices), equals 10 million in revenue per season, lol. Won't happen but imagine using extra money this off-season to sign Arrieta away from them, then crediting it to all that extra revenue from marquee games. Would be like Cub fans paid for Arrieta to go to the Brewers.

    It's somewhat normal I guess to have some dead weight on the 40 but I could see all of Milone, Goforth, Suter, Jungmann, Rivera, Houser, Garza, Cravy Marinez, and Reed all having a chance to clear waivers if they were dumped today. That's 25% of our 40 man even assuming guys like Nieuwenhuis and Franklin would get claimed.

    Saying, 'I think we are going to regret that we didn't get a deal done for Braun last year and lost out on Puig' is an opinion, not an overreaction. An opinion that I expressed originally prior to Puig's hot start this year. And an opinion that most projection models would agree with.

    The Brewers definitely look at clock times just like every other organization. Who is the last highly touted Brewer prospect that became a regular at the beginning of the season? Prince Fielder?
  6. adambr2
    Yes, he was only asked to play one position, which is a position we no longer require, thus the reason he was waived. I get why people were upset about Villar getting caught stealing in bad situations last year but your accusation that Villar selfishly swings for the fences in key situations rather than try to come up with a big hit is such an odd and baseless claim. Villar hit .313 with an .881 OPS with RISP last year. He was one of our better hitters in key situations.

    I have no idea what we see in Goforth that made it worth not only bringing him back over Magnifico or Cravy but potentially just getting rid of Magnifico for nothing just to do it.
  8. adambr2
    I see David Goforth is back yet again. Have we really not had enough of him yet?
  9. adambr2
    Magnifico DFAed, and back comes David Goforth... ...was hoping we had seen the last of him .

    Well age has a lot to do with that guess. When I see a guy who played at a near MVP caliber level at age 23, who suddenly regresses at 25, it's hard for me to believe that a 25 year old suddenly hit a wall. Always seemed a lot more likely to me that his regression was flukey and that he still had the ability to do what he's doing now . Braun is 33 and has continued to deal with more and more nagging injuries over the years as he has aged that have eaten into his playing time. Projections are not a perfect science but looking at both Steamer and Zips they both have Braun as slightly under a 2 fWAR player so it seems to me they are also buying into the age regression. That's very concerning to me since if they're accurate that he declines to that degree, the next 3 following years aren't likely to be better. I certainly hope Braun can defy them. We need him to. But already being sidelined with back pain this early into the season doesn't have a very promising feel to it.

    We know that Puig and Braun were both in the deal, which is probably good enough regardless of the two prospects, that was the point. As far as Braun he has only hit 140 games once in his last 4 seasons after finishing well above that every full year in his first 5. I think it's clear looking at his games played over the years that he's starting to break down quite a bit more where I see him as more of a 125-135 game player. It's possible he hits 140 but him feeling back tightness on the 3rd game of the season and being sidelined for it by the 6th is definitely not a good sign . I certainly hope I am wrong about this, I just see arrows going in 2 different directions and think we probably really missed out on a big opportunity.
  13. adambr2
    Obviously still way too early to make any definitive judgments for the season, but Puig has started out 2017 on a tear OPSing near 1.500 with 3 HR already so far. I think this has the potential to be a deal we seriously regret not getting done in August. With Braun essentially a part-time player at this point in his career, there's a good chance he can still play even at 33, but Puig has immensely more upside at a much lower price tag, and if he rebounds to his early career form he is going to become one of the more valuable commodities in the league again. I think the Dodgers were probably getting cold feet on this over the winter which is most likely why we didn't hear much discussion on it. I don't know what the value was of the two prospects included in the deal, but I think the chances are pretty good that Puig alone outperforms Braun over the next 4 years. I do appreciate that Stearns at least recognized that Puig was an undervalued talent and tried to acquire him, but this is something I wish we had been able to pull the trigger on.

    Suter already optioned back to AAA.
  15. adambr2
    11-4 is about exactly the score I expected to see today. Echoing what someone said before, I just can't wait until some of the pitchers in our system get up here and we no longer need to see guys like Tommy Milone.
  16. adambr2
    Good grief Villar. I really like you, but I am getting really tired of defending you. Get it together. These are routine MLB plays.
  17. adambr2
    I didn't want to say it in the prospect ranking thread and interfere with it with commentary , but if Suter is our #1 prospect, the franchise is in a heap of trouble.
  18. adambr2
    Suter looked like a guy who knows he's headed back to Colorsdo Springs at some point this month.
  19. adambr2
    Last year they're probably called strikes. I think it's hilarious that MLB actually thought taking away the low strike would speed up the game. Who is the genius that came up with that one?
  20. adambr2
    Well, that will do it. Oh well, figured we'd win a game at best this series, and we got that.
  21. adambr2
    Suter, you are not a guy who can afford to have control problems.
  22. adambr2
    Hernan just looks absolutely lost at the plate in his first week. It's one thing to just have bad luck but that pitch was in the dirt almost a foot off outside.
  23. adambr2
    Nice outing for Woodruff tonight for the Sky Sox. 6 1/3rd 4 Ks 1 R 0 ER
  24. adambr2
    Well that's poopy. Still, if that means he hit 98 instead of 99, we'll take that.
  25. adambr2
    Broxton definitely makes that play too. Terrible idea to throw home as well.
