I would think both teams are pretty happy with what they got. We filled a big need and so did Tampa. It is ok if neither side ends up losing.
-
I really don't agree with that. Rodgers knows perfectly well he isn't within his rights to straight up tell the Packer brass not to draft a QB and I really don't believe he'd be dumb and bold enough to ask. All I was saying is that they should have been transparent and courteous enough to inform. It doesn't mean Rodgers can call the shots. It doesn't mean they're letting him be GM. It's just a respectful move.

Smart move by Haders camp. He will remain elite and eventually paid for it. Hader determines his own role?
-
Wow, great work by BB.
-
And if we didn’t use Hader in the 9th we could be packing up and going home because we lost. Much easier to keep a run off the board with bases empty than a runner starting on 2nd. Up until last year I would have agreed but the new rule is a game changer.
-
It's kind of amazing how much Hader's role has devolved from being able to get anywhere from 1 to 9 outs to a guy that is an absolute closer and nothing else and is 100% pigeonholed to 3 outs in an inning that has a 9 in it.

I miss elite Yelich. Or even good Yelich.
-
JBJ is so, so brutally bad.
-
I’m starting to think you’re trolling with this, but once again I’ll note how astonishingly off base I think this is. Why? If the Brewers were in pursuit of Aroldis Chapman at the trade deadline and planned to have him close and move Hader to the 8th, wouldn't it be just a courtesy to inform Hader of their potential pursuit in advance so there were no hard feelings? I know it would not be nearly the same situation, but I can certainly understand why you'd want to handle these scenarios with as much professional courtesy as possible and not just operate like everyone is a replaceable cog in the machine.
-
And if 12 doesn’t like the pick, then what? It doesn't matter if he likes the pick at that point. It's not his decision. You make your pick. But he can't come back later and say he wasn't informed.
-
I don't think veterans typically consent to being optioned. That was the issue we ran into a couple years ago when Jimmy Nelson crossed the 5 year threshold in the middle of the season just days after we called him back up then started to struggle.

Prospective trade deadline targets?
adambr2 replied to adambr2's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Does he have a no-trade clause? Kind of tough nuggets if he doesn't. Now that is he signed yes. But the discussion above was about him being available the last few off seasons to sign and we didn't sign him for cheap. Oh gotcha. Yeah true if your market is small anyway you might as well take your preferred destination. -
Yeah, like I said, I have been much more on the team side of this but I am surprised this viewpoint is being met with so much resistance. Prima Donna or not, Rodgers has earned the respect of the organization. A simple notification to Rodgers that the organization is considering Day 1 or Day 2 quarterbacks as a professional courtesy is not that much to ask, whether he already knows it might happen or not. It does not require him to receive a copy of the draft board or other embellishments. With all that said, Favre, like Rodgers, was not consulted or informed about the Rodgers pick before it was made either. In both cases I think professional courtesy was lacking, but I admire the way Favre handled it compared to Rodgers, in hindsight. Favre remained confident that his play would speak for itself and hold off Rodgers. Rodgers needs assurances, but the reality is that if he continued to play like last year the organization isn't letting him go anywhere.

I don't know, just seems like common courtesy to me when a guy has been there 15 years and is very accomplished there to just say beforehand, "Hey, you know you're our guy here, but just in the interests of transparency and out of respect, we wanted to let you know it's possible one of our picks might be the guy we might be looking at to be the guy after you're gone, in the interests of our future." Just seems like the respectful, professional thing to do to me. Not like you even have to mention any names.

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/alex-smith-aaron-rodgers-drama-120017128.html I've been more on the team side of this, but Smith makes some good points. Obviously the team didn't know 100% going into draft night that they were going to take Love, but the fact that it was a strong possibility should have been communicated well in advance just out of transparency and respect.

Seriously, it feels like every outing for Woodruff is 7 scoreless innings with about 10Ks.

Somebody else is Josh Hader. We don't have many options.
-
For a team that is supposed to be built on pitching and defense, we sure have a tough time turning routine double plays.
-
When did whooping and howling like an idiot become a thing at MLB games?
-
Paulo Espino is a big leaguer? He was a Brewer, and not a good one.
-
Really great work by Devin. Tough luck with the infield single then gave up the hit but buckled down and shut it down after that.
-
I would love it. The games are more entertaining. I'm sure the guys would love the extra days off over the grueling season too.
-
The absolutely maddening thing about this team is knowing how good we would be if Yelich and Hiura were the hitters we expected them to be.
