    I can't wrap my head around the 1 WAR = 9M logic anymore. It just seems inapplicable in too many instances to make sense to me.

    Escobar was a really mediocre career SS and was an essential piece to acquiring Zach Greinke. Hard to complain about that one.

    FTFY I mean if you are saying that Vegas odds fluctuate based on the betting that comes in from the public I understand that. I wasn't referring to Vegas as a literal person or anything.
  4. adambr2
    Line for this game just keeps going up. Vikes by 6 now. Vegas definitely doesn't think we'll win.

    We didn't learn from the last time we did this? Good season last year but I wouldn't expect a repeat.

    I actually like quite a few guys on that Cubs team. I don't like that fact. Cubs players are generally fine, they just have horribly obnoxious fans. Whereas the Cardinals players themselves are generally turds and most of their fans aren't that bad. Weird stuff.

    Speaking of people who can't help themselves.... Every team makes these kinds of signings. You have to fill out your bench and AAA roster for depth.

    I wouldn't pigeonhole Stearns as any sort of specific GM with phrases like "he won't pay that for a reliever" or "he only wants guys with positional flexibility" or anything like that for that matter. I don't think he closes doors with that kind of thinking.
  9. adambr2
    He just isn't versatile enough to play anywhere other than 2nd other than in a pinch and we already have an entrenched starter at that position. Pass.
  10. adambr2
    Probably true, though depending on how he does in 2020 and how Garcia does and whatever other factors may be at play, they could decide to exercise his option. I think it would only be a net $11M to pick up the option.
  11. adambr2
    Not to get too far ahead of things but it would be interesting to see how they handled him in his second year if he were playing at an All-Star level and on pace to be right on the border of 550 PAs. That could have the potential to be ugly if he felt like they were deliberately suppressing his ABs to keep the team option. I think if he were playing at an All-Star level in 2021, they would be happy to pay $12M in 2022 for an All-Star caliber bat. That's my point. It would become a mutual option which Garcia would surely decline if he were playing at that level.

    Not my money but sign me up for sure at 1/8. I'd love to get a second option year for $12M or so with a buyout.
  14. adambr2
    The guy posts a lot of obscure stuff but you're really piling on him for no reason here. It fills needs for the Brewers and makes sense for us in just about every way. If you think Bell is being undervalued by the simulator or whatever then that's fine just explain that. If it were anyone other than Clancy this would be met with much more rational discussion. Archer and Bell are two guys that absolutely would make sense for us to acquire and the Pirates have basically said they'll listen to offers for anyone on their team.
  15. adambr2
    Because 34 year old Donaldson is a borderline HOF candidate and 31 year old Mike Moustakas is a solid but not great player. You are comparing apples to oranges. Their only similarity is that they play the same position.
  16. adambr2
    Dellin Betances would be a really nice add to the pen and shouldn't take a long-term deal.
  17. adambr2
    I would do that deal in a heartbeat. I don't think those valuations are accurate, I think it shortchanges the Pirates way too much, but maybe if Turang was included in lieu of one of the OFers it is close. Either way, for all the crap we give Clancy for ridiculous proposals this is not one of those times anyone should be doing that.
  18. adambr2
    Yeah it was bound to end at some point. Maybe it'll help against the Lakers by taking some pressure off
  19. adambr2
    Brook, Sterling and Middleton were just invisible tonight. I think the $178M contract to Middleton is going to look absolutely brutal in a few years. I get that you want to give Giannis every reason to stay, but Khris just disappeared tonight. Disappointing.
  20. adambr2
    IMO it doesn't matter as he has 10/5 rights and won't agree to go anywhere besides maybe the Dodgers and even then perhaps not.
  21. adambr2
    How large, and how do we get in on this? Also, you can't bet on credit. We definitely need to see the cash upfront.
  22. adambr2
    Ok, that's fair. I don't know that I'd assume he's got 4/100 though and if someone is offering 4/80 and we're offering 3/75 we could end up winning it on the AAV. Like I said, I doubt we will sign him. But in the scope of all his moves, Lorenzo Cain doesn't look like a Stearns signings either -- and he's still signed for 3 more years and only 4 months younger than Donaldson.
  23. adambr2
    Donaldson is a much better player than Moustakas so I doubt one has anything to do with the other.
  24. adambr2
    Pretty condescending. I also don't believe that that's necessarily true. It's a 34 year old who up until recently could have been targeted on a short term deal. They probably won't get him but I'm betting they at least inquired about him and I would have no problem believing they would have gotten involved depending on the market. It's not like we're talking about Gerrit Cole here.
  25. adambr2
    This. Garcia appeared to be part of Stearns’ plan from early on. Think the market was hotter - both overall and for Garcia - than anticipated. But he was plan A and I don’t think Stearns was going to be denied here. No it’s not Cole/Rendon/Strasburg money, but for those bemoaning how cheap Mark A is this offseason, here is an example of the Brewers loosening the pursestrings to get their guy. Hold on a minute, "loosening" the purse strings for a player they signed for $10 per year?? That's not close to "loosening" the purse strings. It still likely means they will be a decent amount below total payroll of what they were last year. They announced this is the last signing they will make this offseason?
