    Short list of Bucks who really haven't impressed in their roles this year: Robin Lopez, Sterling Brown

    The bummer for the Knicks is that they really are playing a pretty good game.

    I would love to get Brian Anderson from the Marlins, but I doubt they have any real reason to deal him. It would take a Yelich type return and we don't have that kind of farm anymore.

    Why do people constantly portray the SS defense of Urias as a problem? Urias is a plus defender. He has the range and hands to handle either middle infield spot. His arm is probably better suited for 2B, but that's not unusual for a middle infielder and it's not a weak tool. There's nothing about his scouting report or performance to suggest his defense at SS will be problematic.

    Yeah, the East is really there for the taking this year. Last year it was tight at the top, you had the Bucks, Raptors, 6ers, and Celtics all on that top tier that you could make a pretty legitimate argument for coming out of the East. This year is different. The Bucks are that top tier and there is no one else. I think Miami is pretty legit so you've got a really strong second tier with the Heat and 6ers. I still have my doubts that the Celtics, Raptors and Pacers can sustain what they've done so far. So it's still a really good top 6 regardless, but none of the 2-6 SHOULD be able to hang with the Bucks in a 7 game series unless things go horribly wrong. Obviously things could go horribly wrong and then absolutely without even a conference championship under our belt you start to be concerned about keeping Giannis. Whatever needs to be shored up at the deadline with what they can do, they need to do. The problem with that is it's hard to know what they really need to upgrade. I don't know that they really need to do anything at all. They've got really good chemistry and a really good supporting cast. They have really good defenders in Matthews and DDV and guys like Korver and George Hill are just fantastic fits off the bench. It's a really deep roster. Probably the biggest criticism of the Bucks' playoff chances is that they just don't have a 1B superstar to Giannis' 1A. But maybe they don't need one.

    Dodgers come calling offering Bellinger or Buehler for Hiura straight up, you're telling them no?

    Not winning the East would definitely be a major disappointment. It's hard to even say not winning the NBA Finals wouldn't be disappointing.

    Outside of Korver, our shooters went cold against the Mavs. They also have a very good team. It happens. We weren't going to win every game the rest of the season, hard to be too bummed about one game.

    They were my next pick.

    I love that this team is extremely cognizant of trying to get last possession of a quarter. You constantly see them either fast or slow playing possessions in the last minute knowing where they want to be on the clock for their possession.

    There was one offseason where we signed Gennett only to let him go to the Reds during spring training. Plans are always fluid, and so if we believe Arcia is worth anything at all it in trade it would make sense to offer him arbitration for a pretty low amount. I don't think it guarantees he's in their plans for 2020.

    I read that as "the talk around the lobby" at the winter meetings last week. Can't remember where I saw it now. One of the "insiders" on Twitter. It was definitely not a made up thing, though. Brewers were one of the most aggressive teams in talks last week. viewtopic.php?f=66&t=39335&start=280 Unless you read something different than what I did, this is the only thing I saw speculating they we were in on Rendon, much less made a strong play for him. I think it's probably a stretch to say that. I'm guessing we attended the auction to see the bidding but that's about as far as things went. I doubt we were one of the top 5 teams in on Rendon. Just my opinion, of course. Obviously Donaldson is still out there and that would still be a heck of a blockbuster.

    Little to nothing. Contenders won't have any interest. If there's any market for Arcia it's a team that is a year or two away with a big hole at SS and just needs a stopgap with possible upside for more. If you could get a decent older reliever or lottery ticket prospect I'd be thrilled.

    I think they are set on their bench and at all starting positions besides 3B. I think 3B is still a pretty glaring hole, though. I'm not confident enough to try to say they are or aren't done making moves, but I do hope the plan going into the season is not some combination of Sogard and Healy at 3rd.

    Smoak isn't exactly flexible either. It seems pretty clear that they thought they could get the same if not better production for less than the $7.5 million option Thames was due. And on paper, today that was proven true. I'd also like to point out that when you have a team option attached for a second year, like with Sogard and Smoak, it's a greater value for the team than the salary indicates. I'm guessing we frequently offer a little bit more in base salary to get that option year for as much as we see it. If for instance Smoak repeats his 2017 season that option becomes extremely valuable. I'm not really sure what to think of Smoak. He was never a very good player before he was 30. But some guys do just come on late.

    2 years ago, we signed Eric Sogard for 2.3 million dollars. He performed so poorly that we literally decided to pay him to just stay home rather than keep trotting him out on the field. 15 months later, we decided to hire him back at double the salary we were paying him before. I'm not saying bad move, we'll see what happens, I just think it's a hilarious sequence of events when you look at it that way.
