    ....But now they don't HAVE Arcia, so they have two pitchers AND that full $5 million. Assuming they aren't eating any of Arcia's contract, plus the cost of the two pitchers. But Knebel's velocity has ticked up again and his curve is looking good. Still early, but the Dodgers are pretty happy with it. He even got a save chance yesterday with Jansen out. That one will hurt if Knebel returns to '17-'18 form, especially since I'm not especially high on our pen depth after the big 2.

    Regardless of the rules or how the MLB offense has changed they are still going to need Christian Yelich and Keston Hiura to hit better than replacement level if they are going to have any chance of success.

    Sobotka is pretty much Ray Black-lite. He's a power arm that can run it up there at 98 mph, but doesn't always know where it's going. Maybe he ends up being useful ... maybe not. Weigel is substantially more intriguing. He's a guy who has put up solid minor league numbers, but was sidetracked by losing basically two seasons (2017 and 2018) to Tommy John surgery. He came back to make 18 starts between AA and AAA in 2019, and put up some very nice numbers. He's obviously quite a bit older for a prospect (will be 27 in July), but he's got a solid chance. He also has an option remaining. He was definitely the "get" in this deal, although any Braves pitching prospect scares the heck out of me. Any particular reasons why they scare you so much? I guess you can't give them total credit for Fried, but they did develop him for most of his professional career. Probably too early to anoint Soroka or Anderson, but they look like home runs so far. For sure they've had some misses but those will happen just from the sheer volume of pitching prospects they've got.

    I'm not really dreaming on Sobotka or Weigel much. They're basically older, MLB ready lottery tickets. I guess there's a best case scenario that you unlock something in one of them and get a much better return than expected. More likely, they each get turns in the annual bullpen carousel this year and aren't remembered for anything more than that. However, Arcia is a guy I would have been fine with non-tendering so adding some organizational pitching depth if that is what it turns out to be is better than nothing.
  5. adambr2
    He's been one of the worst starters in baseball for several years and they gave up a lot for his presumed replacement. I don't think there's anything more to it than that.
  6. adambr2
    Can't expect much in return, but if you're committing to Urias at SS, it's time for Arcia to go. Keeping him for 3B or as a utility guy just isn't a good fit.
  7. adambr2
    If Hiura only ends up as a Chris Carter type, that's really damaging considering he was thought to be a cornerstone bat in our lineup for years to come. If Yelich doesn't return at least modestly toward his pre-2020 form, this organization is in big trouble in the near future. There's just no sugarcoating it. There's still time...and I do think after a month or two if there's no sign of a turnaround I would part ways with Haines. At some point no matter how much or how little you think he is to blame, you have to at least see if a new perspective can help spark something.

    Well, Love definitely isn't ready and I have no desire to see us go 7-10 next year so I hope not. Plus, and I might get roasted for this, I don't see TV personality in Rodgers that others do. I saw him on an episode of The Office and frankly I thought he kind of sucked. There's a pretty big difference between a guest spot on a show and being a game show host or a commentator. He's not a good actor(though he was better than the Brewers on that SOAP) but he's pretty entertaining, funny in a live setting. He was good on the McAfee show all year...that's probably closer to what he'd do in the future on TV. I thought he was great tonight. I didn't see the show tonight. I agree though that those are very different roles.

    LOL, I've been to Brewer/Cub games and no he does not. No one at Miller gives a rip about Rizzo. Maybe Baez. I'm not saying there aren't literally a few people out of 40K booing but to suggest he gets the treatment Yelich got tonight is patently false.
  10. adambr2
    I think this time will be "fine" long-term in the sense that they should win 85 games or so, but I think the 90-95 win predictions were overly bullish and relied on too many things going right. I think the odds that they win 75 and the odds that they win 93 are about the same.
  11. adambr2
    Great foresight by the Brewers to acquire Urias knowing Arcia's career here will likely end soon. Urias should be able to seamlessly replicate his mediocre bat and overrated glove to the point where we'll notice no difference.
  12. adambr2
    Booing Yelich is stupid. Braun after 2013, I get it, but Yelich? Do we boo Anthony Rizzo at Miller Park?
  13. adambr2
    Not that Wong was ever a great hitter, but Haines will work his magic and turn him into a .200 guy in no time.

    This is one of our good relievers. Umm yeah I know. I meant so they don’t have to sit around a week. Hader will be in the same boat soon. Yeah Devin is rusty for sure. And we don't have much after Hader and Devin.

  17. adambr2
    Sogard triples off Devin. Because that's just what being a Brewer fan is like.
  18. adambr2
    Yelich isn't hitting worth a darn either. Got to give Hiura more than a week before we start making moves like that.
  19. adambr2
    Gets robbed on a 400 foot ball the other day, gets his first hit on a little dribbler.
  20. adambr2
    Arcia my man. That pitch went about 55 feet.
  21. adambr2
    Narvaez making it a game.
  22. adambr2
    Would have been nice to get something last inning.
  23. adambr2
    For who? The whole team isn't hitting.
  24. adambr2
    Williams threw a Jeff Suppan'esque 89 MPH meatball right down the middle on 1-1 and all Hiura could do was fight it off and then ground into a double play on the next pitch.
  25. adambr2
    Fair enough. Bologna is gross.
