    I assume he asked to be released. Because releasing a guy because he reported being bullied would be a horrible take by the org.

    Is there a Cliffs notes version to this conversation? Can you say what has happening with Melvin?
  3. ClosetBrewerFan
    Harrison to the 15 day IL would have made more sense. Let's make sure he gets some time off so we have him full strength in the post season. But sure, send the guy with 3 scoreless in his debut down instead.

    I don't want to hear anymore from cubs fans about their pitching injuries.

    Joey O. Hitting machine!

    Poor JB. I wonder how much more rehab he can tolerate. Has to tough to know that if he could remain healthy, he could have a successful career. His 12 innings with the Brewers were very good but just cannot stay on the field.

    Nice article. He has been one of the more difficult players to predict. Hard to ignore the production but I've been just holding my breath to see if the K's can come down. Wallner as a comp is most encouraging. That would be a great outcome especially if he can stay at 3rd. I'm hoping Wisdom is the floor. A lot of pop for at least a few years would be better than nothing. I dont even want to dream on Schwarber and get my hopes up. I did physically shudder when you mentioned Huira. Let's hope that does not happen.

    What's your take on Jayden Fielder. He has hit well so far in his career but the Brewers have been slow to promote him. Understand he does not have a defensive home but surprised a 21 year old has not been pushed more than he has. Seems like the Brewers are not very high on him.

    I expected a competitive team this year but not a dominant one. The division was going to be much better this year which I assumed would make it harder to get wins. But the Miz and Harrison have made such a difference this year. Who could have predicted they would be this good? The offense continues to do well without a lot of stars. Bauers and Vaughn have been the big surprises. The bullpen is solid and deep but not dominant as in years past. The defense has also been good but not elite like we are used to. Overall: - Well above expectations Component wise: - Starting pitching: far above expectations - Relief pitching: below expectations - Offense: above expectations - Defense: below expectations

    A few years ago, I made a series of blog posts trying to answer this exact question. I used career bWAR as my main evaluating tool. However, I also categorized it by the number of players that made the majors and how they did (subjectively). Is just getting many players to the majors make it successful or is it just pure value (bWAR) that is most important. I think that depends on the org (small market vs large market) as a small market needs multiple cheap players, whereas a large market is looking for marquee players more than role players. Maybe, I will make an update to this to reflect the last few years. LINK

    Most of the moves he's made did not seem bad at the time. Players just have not performed well or are injured. Poor performance is the blame of the player or the coaching staff. Dumping Stearns now would be a dumb decision. I'd be focusing my anger on the coaching staff or just the players themselves.

    He's the definition of a "change of scenery" guy. I hope he gets a chance somewhere in MLB. Unfortunately he no longer has any trade value so at best we could get a lottery ticket. He's dangerously close to DFA candidate right now.
  14. ClosetBrewerFan
    That's unfortunate for Brandon. He was looking very to start the year. Does this make it more likely we see Lara now
  15. ClosetBrewerFan
    A lot of current college players wont be getting a chance if this happens. All those drafted high schoolers will instead have to go to college. This will vastly improve the talent in college. Though I wonder if players like Tyson Hardin even get a chance considering his poor numbers in college.
  16. ClosetBrewerFan
    Neither did Rengifo
  17. ClosetBrewerFan
    Does this mean the Andrew Vaughn to 3b experiment is over?
  18. ClosetBrewerFan
    Add Wichrowski

    Listen to this Phillies post game show. 5 minutes of them man crushing on the Miz. My favorite line: "Phillies should have been no hit. they had no chance tonight."
  20. ClosetBrewerFan
    Amazing performance

    Need some more pitching depth in AAA with hope for helping the major league team this year. Lets give a few AA guys some opportunities. I'd like to see Cam Wagoner, Edwin Jimenez, and/or Stiven Cruz.

    Typically, if they decline an option, they dont have to pay future years buyouts, but that is all driven by the contract. Can't think of a case where that happened.
  23. ClosetBrewerFan
    COTS posted contractual details: Seems very low risk in case his bat does not pan out. $7M in 2032 would not be crazy 4th OF money for a guy with a great glove and good speed. The option years are very reasonable and likely to be used. This is surprisingly "front loaded", at least in relative terms. Luis Lara cf 7 years/$31M (2026-32), plus 2033-35 options 7 years/$31M (2026-32), plus 2033-35 club options signed extension with Milwaukee 6/10/26 $2M signing bonus, paid within 60 days of contract approval 26:$2M, 27:$2M, 28:$3M, 29:$4M, 30:$5M, 31:$6M, 32:$7M, 33:$10M club option (no buyout), 34:$11M club option ($2M buyout), 35:$12M club option ($1M buyout) option salaries may increase based on awards: $2M each for MVP, $1M for 2-5 finish in MVP vote, $500,000 for 4-5 finish, $250,000 for 6-10 finish, $200,000 for Gold Glove, All Star election / selection

    In this game, I would be embarrassed to make an out.
  25. ClosetBrewerFan
    Vaughn has 10 career innings playing 3b. That was 5 years ago and he was terrible at it. But is that worse than Rengifo?
