And that's fine. But you can't really say that with the line "this is why you trade even the most elite reliever when their value is the highest." Either you're going to take the highest bid when his value is the highest (now) or you're going to hold out for elite prospects. We can't force anyone into giving us what we want for Hader.
-
Wait, weren’t you literally just saying earlier today you would only trade him for Gavin Lux (which isn’t happening)? I'm not giving him away Your words literally yesterday: "I haven't seen any offers brought up so far that I would accept. If we aren't getting a sure thing in a deal and I haven't seen one yet in any of these potential deals I would just hold Hader and try to make improvements in other ways. Remember that Josh still has three years after this in a Brewers uniform so if we are going to move him now a star prospect like Lux better be included."

is this being installed in miller park next to the selig experience? Yes, but I don't expect it to be very popular. You walk through and a nerdy looking man swipes a few dollars from your wallet and gives you nothing. Then you have to walk back through and he does the same thing.

Grimm DFA.....Pina to IL.....Nottingham recalled
adambr2 replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I haven't. He's not even really a prospect anymore. Nottingham's bat has really fallen off in the minors and he was never known as a defensive prospect. He's already 25, I think if they really thought anything of his future they would have given him an extended look by now. Maybe he can surprise and put it all together. But more likely he's another Jett Bandy. -
Grimm DFA.....Pina to IL.....Nottingham recalled

Uh, Manny Pina will have about 5 years of service time by the end of this year, he'll be in the last year of arbitration next year. Yeah, I don't know why I said 1st year, it's his 3rd. Regardless, he's controlled for one more season and will probably cost about 2M to do it. No reason not to, IMO. -

Don't know why this would be the end for Pina as a Brewer. IMO he'll be back for $1.5M-$2M next year as a 1st year arby player. -
So they did not "forfeit", correct? Series just resumes at 3-1 still whenever it resumes?
-
He couldn't hit a lick as a 24 year old in the most hitter friendly environment in the minors and isn't known for his glove. He doesn't.
-
Well, Thames is terrible .... like substantially worse than Smoak this year. I don't get why so many Brewer fans miss the guy. He was average for a couple years here, and had some nice moments, but dropping him was no loss at all. ANd Moose signed a monster deal with the Reds. Thames has a -.0.2 WAR and 55 OPS+ this year Smoak has a -0.3 WAR and 88 OPS+ this year Smoak has been the better hitter, but both have been equally worthless in different ways. I don't miss Thames, but Smoak hasn't been substantially better.

I liked the 3 year deal at the time. 3 isn't a big deal because it's cheap. So no big payroll commitment. The thinking I'm sure was the potential reward was the control if it panned out. Kind of like an Eric Thames deal for a pitcher. If you go 1 year and Lindblom has a big year, he's gone in free agency. So I'm sure that was their thought process. But he certainly doesn't look good so far, agreed on that.
-
I liked Josh Lindblom a lot better when he was pitching in Korea.
-
Braun has an alarming amount of really ugly looking ABs for a veteran of his experience. I don't deny his swing can look great when he's right, but for someone in his 14th season it's surprising how often he goes up looking like he has no clue.
-
The decline of Travis Shaw has been a sad thing to witness. It wasnt very long ago that he was one of the better lefty 3B in the league, a 4 WAR player two straight years who could also give you innings at 1B and 2B. Now he's a guy who will probably have to settle for a minor league deal to start over again somewhere in 2021.
-
I guess I am shocked that we are even flirting with. 500 and actually in a playoff race as it is because the individual performances have been atrociously bad. When Christian Yelich is under the Mendoza line halfway through the season and he's one of your better performers still, you have some major issues. About the only strength of this team has been the pen, but they need more than that. Maybe they can still sneak in as the 8th seed, but the Dodgers will eat us alive. It would still be nice to get the chance, though.
-
I agree with you, but I don't know who else on this team should even be in the rotation. I don't think Freddy is a starter either. Maybe you can stretch out Suter and go Woodruff-Burnes-Lindblom-Anderson-Suter. That's an awfully weak rotation, though.
-
Houser has just been getting rocked ever since the first 2 starts of the year.
-
I think that's the point. Then why come in the first place?
-
This will accomplish....what exactly? They'll come out and play Game 6, or one would think, and what will be different other than they'll be up 3-2 instead of 3-1? Honestly this entire team should have just stayed away from Orlando and forfeited the season because winning an NBA championship is clearly not at the forefront of their minds.
-
Where the heck are you getting your bananas? They're $0.39/lb at Kwik Trip!
-
No way he gets traded if that is true. Why shouldn't it? The Yankees were trading Chapman as a rental. Hader is equally as good, and he's controlled for 3 seasons beyond. That control is huge for his value.
-
Garrett Mitchell should probably at least begin his minor league career and come somewhere close to sniffing the high levels of the minors before he waves hello in a conversation about our outfield depth.
-
Just following on Gameday...what happened?
-
Wow, sure looked like Woodruff got a break on Gameday. Still a ways to go but maybe we can get out of this inning tied...
-
From throwing a no-no to what amounts to a pretty large hole (for our offense) in the span of 2 minutes.
-
But why do you HAVE TO have your best guy dedicated to the 9th inning and 9th inning alone? What if the meat of the order is up in the 8th? What if a string of lefties is up in the 8th? Why does there have to be one specific guy assigned to complete the task of getting the last 3 outs of the game? Why can Phelps/Devin Williams/Peralta not accomplish that on certain days while Hader maintains a flexible role?
