Yelich says not so fast on anointing Isan Diaz the gem of the trade.
-
He'll be fine. No concerns yet with his job security. He's pushed a lot of wrong buttons this season though for sure. Doesn't at all resemble the mastermind he looked like last year. But he's not going anywhere. If 2019 and 2020 are both disappointments then things could change.
-
And that's why you don't walk guys with a 5 run lead. Ridiculous. We need Houser back in this pen.
-
Don't walk guys with a 5 run lead, Freddy. It's not a lot to ask.
-
Claudio can be fairly useful when he's used in a way that actually fits his strengths.
-
Thought Hernan Perez was back for a minute.
-
The DH to the NL can't get here fast enough Remember in the late 90s when MLB was looking for an AL team to come to the NL and the Brewers were all like, "Yeah, sounds great, let's do it!" I wish we had known how much that was going to screw us over in 20 years.
-
Well, there's never been rules about where you have to stand in fair territory. I don't know how you even regulate that.
-
Grandal gave up on that before he even left the batter's box.
-
Grisham looks great. Even his outs for the most part haven't been weak contact. Still early but don't see any indication he doesn't belong up here.
-
Well there's the roster spot for Devin Williams.
-
This. Haven’t heard of any additional move. Plenty of dead weight to pick from. Burch Smith seems like the choice.

Trade Deadline Rant- How are we better?
adambr2 replied to rickh150's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
He has no options going into 2020. So if he doesn't make the opening day roster, there's no long-term. Hard to carry a project on the 25 man all year if you're expecting to contend. -
Probably, maybe? I mean how can you justify the 4M+ it takes to tender him again? At the same time, who do we have internally that's going to replace him if Moose walks? I dunno. 50/50. Again, lack of internal options. Depends what else we do to cover 1B. Maybe one. I think Moose is more likely to be back than Grandal, and I'm not sure that's a bad thing. I'm somewhat ok with just going with 2 out of 3 of Pina/Nottingham/Freitas next year, camp competition. I hope we trade Arcia and upgrade at SS. My guess is we keep plugging along with Arcia. I would consider trading Davies. Woodruff and Anderson should be back. I'd like to see Faria and Burnes in the rotation, and ideally, one major FA.
-
Yeah, that's probably the way to go. Just straight up replacing Cain 2 or 3 times a week in CF isn't a bad idea either if he can play at least a passable CF.

Trade Deadline Rant- How are we better?

Other than his K/9, Black's Minor League numbers are nothing special, never have been and he's almost 30. There are guys like this that you hear about taking a flyer on all the time. Maybe not with the K/9 numbers he has, but there's a reason he's 29 and still hasn't really gotten a shot in one of the better organizations in baseball for pitcher development. I believe that Stearns fell in love with him and had to have him, but beyond that, I'll believe it when I see it that a guy at his age and minor league numbers is just going to suddenly morph into a late inning stud reliever at the MLB level. Obviously they don't even think he can be a contributor right now much less a late inning guy, or he'd be here, because he's certainly not being blocked. I'd say the odds of him being a major late inning guy are probably somewhat less than him not even making the team out of spring training next year and being gone just that quickly. -
One thing that bears mentioning is that a player's no-trade clause still applies in the event of a waiver claim. (I'm almost positive, at least that is how it worked under revocable waivers in years past). So if the Brewers were to waive Braun or Cain and someone did claim them, we could not just dump their contract unless they agreed to it (if the claim were made by one of Cain's 15 NTC teams, or in Braun's case, any team)

Trade Deadline Rant- How are we better?

They didn't "cash in" on Dubon. They got 2 guys with almost literally no surplus value. It's hard to believe he wouldn't be more valuable to us as a cost-controlled utility infielder for the next 6 years than what we got, even if he didn't hit enough to start. The industry must view Dubon as more of a Nick Franklin than a Hernan Perez for him to return this little. -
Grisham is wickedly underrated by the latest rankings but Ray is probably overrated. He's fast approaching bust status. As Trwi said, every team has pitching prospects in the system that they're excited about. I remember posters from years past raving about Kyle Heckathorn, Nic Bucci, Wily Peralta, Cody Scarpetta, and others. There's plenty of lottery tickets but no one close to imminently being a big needle mover. Supak might be able to step in and be a #5 at the MLB level right now and Devin Williams might be able to help out the pen, but these aren't Makenzie Gore or even Corbin Burnes type prospects.
-
Hasn't Yelich also played quite a bit of 1B? Although I don't think they want Braun playing anywhere but LF anymore and I think Grisham is pretty limited to either LF or CF.
-
Thanks, Brew4U! You da' man! Braun is doing much better as a starter! Start him more! On pace for 115 starts and 147 games played. But could fluctuate with Grisham coming up. But it’s safe to say that Braun isn’t the problem people are looking for. Braun isn't the problem, I just don't think he's that good of a player anymore where his day to day prescense in the lineup really makes a big difference one way or another. With that being said, his RISP hitting (.922 OPS) has been very good this year which is what we have really been lacking in the lineup. Everyone else seems to have a big problem with situational hitting.

Eat some watermelon or have a nice bowl of soup with a few crackers. Calm down! I'm only kidding. Mostly.
-
Judging by how this years team has been managed, I fully expect Burch Smith to get called up and Trent Grisham sent down tomorrow.
-
Just throw Grandal out so we don't have to see him hit again today.
