As that ball was rolling to the wall, I said, 'I bet Villar is going to try to stretch this to a triple and get thrown out.'

Lucroy Trades/Proposals (part 2)
adambr2 replied to Austin Tatious's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Yeah, Harvey would be very intriguing if we had longer to control him. With him being a FA after 2018 and having Scott Boras for an agent he's just not a great timetable fit for us right now. -
IMO we got totally outplayed tonight, so it was nice to pull it off anyway. It's refreshing to know that there is a team out there that is way worse than us.
-
And Carter dons the golden sombrero.
-
Imagine how Teheran feels. He's 1-4 with a 2.57 ERA.
-
He's terrible, though I'm sure you weren't talking about right now with Villar, gotta send him there with 2 outs. But yeah I agree on Sedar in general. Nice 2 out rally to take the lead.
-
We have got to be the worst baserunning team in the majors.
-
That ball 4 was a better pitch than the one Villar took for strIke 3.
-
I love Villar, but the guy makes Carlos Gomez look like a disciplined baserunner.
-
When he actually produces a 3.07 ERA for a single season and we don't base it on a "projection" in May, then we'll talk about Nelson being more than a 3. For now, he's got a 4.00 career ERA. No one will be happier than me if he sustains his results, but it's crazy to pencil him in for 214 IP and 170K and talk about him like he's already that pitcher. So much can happen between now and then. The guy has never thrown over 177 innings in a season and you're projecting him for 214 based on a May projection.

BP Milwaukee article on "The Rebuild"
adambr2 replied to QuevedosTongue's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I think Villar at least so far is a top 7 SS, at least top 10. Is it possible he'll regress, yes. But right now I don't know how anyone can't be impressed with him. He gets on base which is a huge asset. His defense has been serviceable in general, though he's had a tendency to make some late game blunders. I'd like to see him cut down on his baserunning mistakes, but that can be improved. We've got 5 more years of control over him including this one and I think that was a great trade for us. Obviously he's not our future at SS, but I think he's got a ton of value as a super utility infielder. Since we have no clear future at any infield position right now besides SS, Villar is a really good player to have around. -
Pretty much agree on all counts except I think there's at least a 50/50 chance that we give Nelson a long-term extension at some point and try to buy out some arbitration and free agency years. But like you say, we're not motivated to move him. He's still cheap and controlled for awhile. No one is untouchable, but in the case of Nelson, we need someone to pay us like he's already a young, cheap, high end starter. Since I don't think he's viewed that way around the league just yet, I doubt anyone will meet that price, so Nelson probably stays at least for awhile.
-
I like Nelson, I really do, but I also think some have an unrealistic outlook of who he is. He's a nice pitcher for any rotation. He's not, and probably never will be, an ace, or a #1 type pitcher. You want to stack him up against the Arrietas, the Kershaws, the Bumgarners, sorry, he's just not close. He's our #1 by default. He's probably a long-term #3, which does have a lot of value these days. But he's not the guy who is going to be the key piece to put us back in the playoffs.

BP Milwaukee article on "The Rebuild"
adambr2 replied to QuevedosTongue's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
The farm system has disappointed this year but I think 66 wins was pretty much the realistic possibility in all our minds. I have zero problem with any of our offseason moves both in hindsight and now. We got a top 3 HR hitter in the NL so far and a top 7-10 SS who is the NL leader in steals. Considering we got both for basically nothing I'd say Stearns did pretty well for a rookie GM, wouldn't you? -
Yeah, I'm not saying to trade him, just that we shouldn't be counting on him to be the cornerstone of this rotation. I do agree that we need to treat him as such when it comes to listening to trade offers, and therefore I think it's likely we ask more than anyone is willing to pay.
-
On a team that isn't expected to contend for a couple years, every player is available for a price. Since they can afford to wait out any growing pains, his value to the Brewers should be based on his potential rather than his current production and is likely higher than other teams value him, but you definitely listen to offers if teams are interested. If we were contending for a playoff spot and Nelson was our best pitcher, then it'd be silly to trade him, but that's not the situation this year and likely won't be for at least a couple more seasons. In two years, they can have Nelson and Hader as 1-2 in their rotation in either order. That's assuming of course Hader's not making his 75th or so start in AA. That alone can make their rotation worthy of wild card contenders unless they purposely are trying not to be. The problem is you are projecting Nelson to be a #1/#2 when he's only our #1 by default, and you are projecting Hader to be a #1/#2. We don't know if Hader will even stick in the rotation yet, much less at the top of it. Realistically, Nelson and Hader aren't the top 2 starters on a contending team unless they have 3 other equally competent starters also in the rotation. For it to play out the way you say, pretty much every best case scenario in the career's of Nelson and Hader has to come into play. That's way too much to expect IMO, much like many of us 2 years ago expected Peralta to be an ace by now. We have a long ways to go to rebuild this rotation.

This team is so infuriating to watch this series. 1st and 3rd nobody out, Presley gets thrown out trying to take 2nd, Counsell doesn't ask the umpires to look at a close play, Flores Ks, and once again we don't get the hit with RISP to cash in. Very frustrating.
-
This team is incredible frustrating to watch 3 out of the last 4 games.
-
Can we please not have lost 2 out of our last 4 games on bases loaded walks?
-
What a dumb decision with 2 strikes, and Collins gets away with it.
-
Dumb baserunning by Villar again, and as usual, we can't get that big hit with RISP.
-
Ugh Flores swinging at Ball 4. I really wanted to see Braun up with the bases loaded in a tie game.
-
Come on Torres!
-
Hopefully Boyer can get out of this before they do major damage, because he does not have it today.
-
Sneed for Villar might be the trade of the offseason so far.
