http://www.espn.com/mlb/columns/morgan_joe/1433286.html I found this article from the dark ages about starting pitching written by Joe Morgan. I had forgotten how horrifically bad of an analyst he was.

For what? He's almost 25 with a career OPS of .718 and without the defense that would make that kind of offensive production acceptable. Maybe a reliever like Shane Greene. Ray hasn't been good, but a lot of this year is probably largely attributable to injuries. He was one of the best players in the Southern League last year. Someone like the Tigers might take a shot on him based on his production last year, his tools and his draft pedigree if they figure he's the highest upside guy in a Greene offer.

Is there anyone who wouldn't have Grisham in their top 3 Brewer prospects right now? Hiura, Turang...I think I'd put him right there after those two. With a possibility of being #1 at midseason if Hiura graduates by then and Grisham keeps doing what he's doing. What a turnaround.

Domingo Santana to the Mariners, Gamel and Zavolas to MKE
adambr2 replied to JDBrewCrew's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Santana is a horrific defender, there is just no disputing that. It's unfathomable to think we first tried him in CF after trading for him. -
So that gives Grisham 16 HR this year, after hitting a total of 19 in his 4 year MiLB career heading into this season.

What is with the lack of homegrown talent
adambr2 replied to brewers888's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
This Santana hill is a weird one to pick to die on. Santana is not great. He does some things well. A few things. He can get into a fastball every once in awhile. He's got nice pop. He is on pace to strikeout over 200 times and is a horrifically bad defender. Yes, like Thames level of bad. He should be on an AL team, which he is. Braun isn't tradeable, so I don't know what you wanted them to do. Santana wasn't going to play every day here so he wouldn't be putting up fulltime numbers, and again, when he did he'd be one of the worst defensive outfielders in baseball. If you want to criticize Stearns for not getting Santana traded after 2017 when his value was higher, that's probably fair, but the return of a top end 4th OFer with an extra year of control + a prospect is perfectly appropriate compensation for Santana. You're overrating him pretty drastically. This is not a lopsided trade. -
Trent Grisham is just unbelievably dialed in right now.

Interesting, that does change my perspective a lot. I hadn't seen that. Nelson had zero right to be mad or angry about the AAA assignment. The organization paid him 7 million just to wait on him because they believed in him and were willing to be patient. They didn't push him to come back last year and they've been nothing but good to him throughout this whole process. Disappointed/frustrated? Sure. But angry? For what? As far as Nelson pressuring the organization to coming back too soon I certainly hope not. Stearns is paid to make the tough calls and if he's being influenced like that, he's not doing his job. Although it's certainly a bad look for Nelson if he persuaded the organization that he was good and ready and now refuses the assignment.

Does this mean that if someone thinks a thing isn't perfect they don't like it at all? That's..... very odd thinking. I’m not saying it’s perfect. I’m saying I love the imperfections. Using electronic technology has changed the game tremendously already with instant replay. I’m not a fan of altering the game, period. Since the dead ball era, very little has changed beyond changing the mound height and adding the DH (which I don’t like either). Taking away arguing calls and replacing it with a perfect system would take away the fun of debating them, which you might not find important but I do. But not everyone feels the same way as you. Some people would just rather get the call right and let the players determine the outcome. And the game has changed tremendously since the deadball era. Not all at once, and sometimes in small, subtle ways, but it's certainly a far cry from the game Ruth and Gerhig played. Even the way pitchers are used has changed tremendously just in the last 10 years.

B-R.com is horribly off on their service time count, as they say he had 4.107 years as of 1/19. I assume they are as horribly off on Chase Anderson's service time too, as it has Anderson with 4.146 as of 1/19. I assume either Peralta back to the rotation, or Burnes goes down and Wilkerson comes up. He did. 4.107 is 4 years + 107 days where 172 days equals one full service year. The .107 is not a decimal percentage. He acquired 58 more days on the IL before being activated and optioned, stopping his service clock at 4.165 on May 24th. It resumed on June 5th when he was called up and thus hit 5 years seven days later, which would be the equivalent of 4.172.

Why not just go back to the dead ball era if any change to the game of baseball is terrible? That was probably the biggest change to baseball ever. Sounds fun.
-
Unless I'm missing something or some comments I don't remember it that way at all. The only thing I could find on Jimmy's reaction to being sent to San Antonio was this: "Jimmy was disappointed, but he was mature and professional," Stearns said. "I thought he handled it as well as could be expected. He asked good questions. He told us he wants to improve. "That’s a pretty good reaction from my perspective."
-
False, the sooner they leave baseball the exact same and stop changing the game the better Sorry, change is happening regardless of how much you may hate it. The game has been evolving and changing for 150 years and will continue to do so.
-
Pitch 6 to Grandal should have been a ball, but pitch 4 should have been a strike.
-
Also, when you're batting the pitcher 8th your cleanup guy isn't as important of a role. Your 2/3 hitters have the biggest role. I like the strategy and think it should result in more guys on base for Yelich and Moose.
-
The Reds didn't get the memo to call up some soft tossing AAA leftys for this series. That's what they need. Don't come at us with these fireballing ace types.
-
That is a much better outcome for Shaw than I expected.
-
8 of the Brewers 13 pitchers have an ERA over 4. Complete systematic failure. On the plus side, the offense is playing well.
-
If Shaw is up, he's going to play. He should be down in San Antonio, that's the real problem here.
-
Chacin should be able to fetch at least a case of Old Style at the deadline, provided we're willing to pick up most of his price tag.

Nelson is not going to accept an AAA assignment, nor should he be disparaged for not agreeing to do so. It's his right not to now, and the MLBPA probably would discourage him from accepting it. This one is 100% on David Stearns and the Brewer brass for poorly managing his service time. Again, when Nelson was brought back up from AAA he was still 7 days shy of his 5th year. The plan should have been to get 2 starts out of him and immediately make a determination on whether he was ready or should continue that rotation schedule in AAA. Instead, he threw poorly once, then they sat on their hands and let Nelson not pitch for 10 days, and now here they are. It was predictable, and avoidable.

I wish we could play a game at the Polo Grounds. "Yelich....lazy pop up to right. And it's gone."
-
I knew someone would go there. No one was touting DJ based on a 1 game sample size. But less than half a season is appropriate? What about his 2 seasons with the Brewers?
