There can't possibly be anyone here that is still pleased with that Yelich contract, is there?

Prospective trade deadline targets?
adambr2 replied to adambr2's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
If Ramirez was made available, I think you'd have to go Mitchell+Turang+Urias+Hiura just to get them interested. Not sure that would even be enough. They'll have a lot of bids. -
Suter is a real head scratcher to me. I watch him throw and think "I could hit this guy" (yeah, I know I actually couldn't), I have almost no confidence in him, and yet time after time look him up and there he is with an ERA in the low 3s.
-
He was up in the 6th so I'm guessing so. Should definitely see Cousins tonight and I'm guessing Hader regardless of save situation or not.
-
That's Russell Branyan power.
-
Nice job from Burnes even without his best stuff today.
-
Then why aren't you there with a group of 1,000+ to make sure fewer White Sox fans aren't there? I mean I do go to my fair share of games. I do have a family of 5 and job and live 3 hours from Milwaukee, so I can't make it every night. Nor do I have 1,000 friends. Thanks for your totally reasonable suggestion, though.

Fans are rightfully exhausted after Bucks run and covid is starting to run wild again. Plus they spend money and help our payroll. We deal with it. I mean, COVID exists for White Sox fans too. I'll be going to as much as I can. I got my vaccine the day it was available to me. I just want my normal life back.
-
Thank goodness. That was far less painful than it could have been outside of the insane delay.
-
Of course he walks the next guy. Really obnoxious how many White Sox fans are here. There should not be this much of a mixed crowd against us on our field when we're having a great year.
-
Not a thing anymore. You can't.
-
This is absurd. What are they even discussing?
-
Tony is drunk again.
-
Wow. What a great job by the Brewers review team to see that.
-
He had time to get the force at home if he gets rid of a good throw immediately. I don't know what the heck that was. Lucky that the umpire was in the way to block it or it goes to the backstop.
-
Turning into an absolute crapshow of an inning.
-
Can't get anything done with the bases loaded, can't make a shoestring catch and now we have potentially a big inning allowed on our hands. I hate this new Yelich.
-
2018 and 2019 Yelich would have punished those hangers from Rodon. 2021 Yelich was just hoping to do what Adames did.
-
I read somewhere that unlike all the others, Woodruff hadn't been jumped in the rotation at any point before, so just taking the opportunity for an extra days rest at a time where the off days means they can do it without taking away Burnes' extra rest day. Yeah, and to add to this I really don't think there is any "order" or hierarchy to the Brewers rotation. If there is a #1 it is probably Woodruff just based on seniority but him and Burnes and Peralta are basically the big 3, but any order among them and the others is just their methods of workload control.

You do understand that you have advocated for trading all of Woodruff, Peralta, and Burnes at various times over the last 3+ years when they were just prospects in "thinking big" moves for short term help, and that if we had followed this approach we wouldn't be in any position to go for anything right now. -
But if he is this world class grudger, and I don't doubt it, why in the world would people think he is going to give in and show up this year? The Packers should cut their losses and put him on the market now and get on with the Love era, really they should have been there a month ago. If you assume the Packers really wanted to move on next offseason anyway Rodgers did them a favor having the MVP year so they can get max value out of such an old player. I don't buy for a second there won't be a hot market for him, it only takes a few teams and off the top of my head I could see Broncos, Raiders, Titans, Dolphins, Saints as teams that would think Rodgers could put them over the top. I wouldn't count out teams like SF and NE either. I agree. I would have just traded the dude back in May and moved on. Now we are still stuck with the drama of all of it and not going to get max value if we end up getting anything at all. Would have preferred to just deal him, Adams too if necessary, take our picks, got behind Love 100% and plowed ahead.
-
I don't really know if Gute is bad with people. It's speculative. I would suggest that being unable to smooth any of this over with Rodgers over months of time, and now the relationship with Adams being in "a bad place", followed by Zadarius discussing his need to get a realtor, is a pretty good indication that Gute is not managing this crisis very effectively.

I'd say at the time of the trade, Urias was the more hyped, heralded prospect. He had Top 25 MLB prospect buzz. Grisham ascended so quickly during the 2019 system that the ranking services never really had the chance to catch up before he was in the majors. I guess it just depends on your definition of more premium talent. Urias as you said was the more heralded prospect, although Grisham was a high pick who started slow in the minors and had to shake off the potential bust label. I just don't think prospect rankings ever really caught up to how quickly he broke out.
-
Adames, absolutely. There's definitely been some validation provided this year from Urias on that trade, but calling Urias a more premium talent than Grisham isn't accurate, to this point.
