This seems to be a recurring problem with Woodruff lately his last couple starts. He'll be cruising along nicely, everything is fine, something unfortunate happens with 2 outs and then he just kind of implodes.
-
Except in the first inning walk to Bregman. One ball was clearly a strike and a second one may have been. Doesn't help that Grandal can't frame a pitch. Maybe not on that specific AB, but doesn't Grandal consistently grade out as one of the best pitch framers in MLB?
-
Impressive debut from Jordan Yamamoto tonight. Don't look up his line, you'll be sick we traded him for Yelich.
-
Despite the reverse splits, I'd go Thames at 1st. I don't want any part of Aguilar in the lineup right now.
-
I don't really want him, but I wouldn't be too concerned about that. Bumgarner probably has a similar incident with half the teams in baseball. These guys are professionals and understand the expectation as teammates to move on from things like that.
-
What we got Shaw for has no real relevance to his value now. Burnes was a tremendous help last year. Houser is helping us now. If you look at MadBums numbers the last 3 years, he's been good -- not great or near ace quality, and not worth nearly the price tag you quoted to rent. I frankly would probably not do any of the 3 players you mentioned straight up for Bumgarner. I could maybe be talked into Houser for Bumgarner straight up, but that's it. And I realize it would take more, but I just do not want him here that badly.
-
Exactly. The guy is averaging about a 4.00 FIP since the beginning of the 2017 season. He's not aging like Scherzer. He'll be expensive anyway. And as mentioned a million times, his personality sucks. Let the Yankees waste their prospect capital on him.
-
It wasn't on the hitters tonight overall -- offense did it's part, but I am done with Jesus Aguilar. He offers no positional versatility or defensive value. If he isn't hitting the baseball, he has no value to us. It is time to move on. It's a wasted roster spot at this point. Just get what you can get, and I realize it won't be much, but trade him. Someone will take a shot. Wouldn't hurt to see what else is out there available for trade. Perhaps a Garrett Cooper reunion? In the meantime, just use Grandal at 1st/Pina catching to cover against tough lefties.

Just don't DFA Yelich.
-
There are so many reasons to say no to Bumgarner. He's been trending toward good-- not great the last few seasons. Despite that, the Giants are going to ask for the moon based on his name. They want four solid prospects for him. For a rental. Doesn't mean they'll get that, but it would cost much more than he's worth. He comes from a very pitcher friendly park and would be heading to a very hitter friendly park. Also, he's an extremely unlikeable dude. Normally I can look past that, but in his case it'd be tough. I think CC Sabathia has really thrown expectations out of whack for a midseason rented big name.

Oh no worries, I know you're new here and just figured I'd help point you in the right direction; also there is a Transaction Rumors/Proposals page under the Main forum page to be used for suggested or rumored trades.

Can we please just drop the mutual option thing? It has about a .1% chance of being exercised. It's just a 3M dollar deferment, nothing more.
-
I'm not real current on modern statistics but batting average is very far down on the list of things I care much about. I'll take a .250 hitter with a .350 OBP any day over a .275 hitter with a career .310 OBP. Moose is having a very nice season; unfortunately long-term he has not shown a real strong ability to get on base.
-
Mutual options just aren't something you can ever count on being exercised. If Moose keeps up the year he's having he's going to want to take one last crack at getting the 5/80 or so in free agency that he's been after the last two offseasons, and I certainly wouldn't blame him.

Cubs sign Craig Kimbrel (3 years / $43 million)
adambr2 replied to Eye Black's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I will admit, seeing Kimbrel end up in Chicago is definitely more painful than if he had would up in Tampa. It's a possible division shifter. Losing Knebel this season was a game changer. We will probably go add another Swarzak/Soria type at the deadline. And we really do need another high leverage reliever. I've given up on it being Williams or Barnes. I think by later this season, Burnes definitely has the ability to be that guy. Maybe even Houser, too. Jeffress still has great numbers, but you can tell he's not quite there -- yet. I still don't think that moving Nelson to a pen role is totally out of the question yet if he doesn't have success in his next start or two. He's literally two days from not being able to be optioned any more. -

2019 Standings and Playoff Races Discussion
adambr2 replied to Eye Black's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
True or False: The current 5 playoff teams (Dodgers, Brewers, Phillies, Cubs and Braves), will be the 5 playoff teams at the end of the season. -
I am sure you know exactly what is meant by it, it is not that complicated. Casey McGehee and Jesus Aguilar are two examples, but there are many guys with limited pedigree and limited success at the minor league level who go on to find surprisingly high levels of MLB success before regressing. Now in Shaw's case, he was good at this level for a pretty good sample size. So you have to consider that, sure. I'm not advocating giving up on him. But there was always the thought among many the last two seasons that he was playing at a little higher level than was ever expected, and while he isn't THIS bad, I don't think it's impossible that he might regress to the level of an average MLB 3rd baseman rather than the well above average guy he has been the last 2 seasons. I hope not, of course, and I do agree an extension with Moustakas is probably best avoided unless it comes at very team friendly terms.
-
Man has Moose been a great re-sign.
-
Yes Shaw is that talented. He has an OPS over .800 3 out of the last 4 years and he plays good defense. We will need Travis to be good the rest of the year and in the future. He is very important to this team. I understand he was very good the last couple years. That isn't the same as asking how talented he really is.
-
Not really. I mean I'm not trying to take credit from him, but that was a pretty obvious send. They were never going to get Perez. It was just a really dumb throw.
-
I remember when if you could hit 95 on the gun you were a real flamethrower. Now I'm not sure there is anyone on our staff outside of Davies and Claudio who can't at least touch 95.
