    If Dunn can field like that, keep his bat in the lineup.
  2. ClosetBrewerFan
    I hope 18 pitchers will be enough! Quite a few SP options for Carolina. It will be interesting to see how they spread those starts around with piggybacking playing a role.
  3. ClosetBrewerFan
    Nice piece of hitting, Contreras
  4. ClosetBrewerFan
    Turang looking good!
  5. ClosetBrewerFan
    Time for Dunn to be a hero
  6. ClosetBrewerFan
    if Turang can get a 300 OBP, he might steal 40 bases

    second time Brewers announcers have said Dunn has never played AAA. That's a pretty easy thing to check. 2022, 7Gs in AAA with Yankees. I can understand it happening yesterday, but someone should have corrected them.
  8. ClosetBrewerFan
    I feel like the manager should be suspended as well. This does not happen if the manager does not approve of it.
  9. ClosetBrewerFan
    Is it too early to start the magic number countdown?
  10. ClosetBrewerFan
    The Brewers have two hitters in their lineup who primarily played at AA last year. When was the last time that happened?
  11. ClosetBrewerFan
    The app sucks. It kicks you out at the end of the game, then you need to find the post game and click on that. Terrible
  12. ClosetBrewerFan
    If coming in hard at 2b (legally) is a dirty play, what is throwing at a guys head? There should be some fines or suspensions if MLB wants to curb this behavior.
  13. ClosetBrewerFan
    Jomboy's video review of this is pretty funny.

    I looked again and I saw no laughing. It definitely was intentional as he stated that he was trying to break up a double play. But that's not illegal. The rule states: When sliding into a base in an attempt to break up a double play, a runner has to make a "bona fide slide."... He made no attempt to lift his leg to contact him, change his path to hit him, or lose contact with the base. He did go spikes first but again, not illegal. The full rule is here. In McNeill's interview, his complaint was that he was not trying to turn a double play so there was no reason for the late slide. How they heck would Hoskin's know that? He cant see if its close at first. Also, McNeill was clearly trying to make a transfer to his throwing hand as he lost the ball. I get that McNeill could have gotten hurt so I understand some offense taken, but he was going on for a long time about this. If he doesn't want to get hurt, he should have jumped up after he caught the ball instead of keeping his foot planted. We used to see this all the time before this rule change.

    Perkins made that look easy
  16. ClosetBrewerFan
    Glad he got the hit in his first day. Takes the pressure off. He can hit his first HR today, too
  17. ClosetBrewerFan
    So who will be the starting pitchers. I've got Carlos R., Ashby, McKendry, and Junk. Who is the 5th? I had assumed it would go to Chad Patrick.
  18. ClosetBrewerFan
    I realize Dunn is 26. But he has 19PA above AA. I hope he is not counted on for too much playing time
  19. ClosetBrewerFan
    Perfect timing for this thread. I could use some positivity after the Mitchell injury. Why should we be excited about the upcoming season? Not sarcasm, seriously asking,.. need to lift my spirits.
  20. ClosetBrewerFan
    Perkins seems like an odd choice. Nothing against him, he just is redundant on this team. He's a good defensive OF, who is fast and draw's walks. That's one thing the current OF is really good at. Hard to believe he will have a lot of playing time opportunities.
  21. ClosetBrewerFan
    I hope this gives Vieira an opportunity to make the OD. He's out of options so I figured we would lose him. Just curious what he could do with an extended opportunity
  22. ClosetBrewerFan
    That's pretty good value for Cease. A decent RP, plus SD's #5, 7, and 8th best prospect. MLB ranks Thorpe as a 55 grade, and the other two as 50's. I'll try a Brewers comparison of Peguero, Misio, Carlos Rodriguez and Lara. Misio is not a good comparison to Thorpe but overall the package would be similar. Maybe Gasser is a better comparison but I think Thorpe is better.
  23. ClosetBrewerFan
    Lux has a career 712 OPS. That barely is adequate for a 2b. I would not want him as our 1b/DH. If he is a throw in on a trade, fine, but I would not want him as any significant part of a return for Adames.
  24. ClosetBrewerFan
    Davis is on waivers, so if he makes it to the Brewers he could be claimed and they only owe his $6.9M salary for the season. No need to give up prospects. He could also clear waivers and then I believe he becomes a free agent and we could sign him for less, though I dont think his salary is that unreasonable. I'd like the depth he would provide and they could use another power bat. Bauers does not excite me so he would be an upgrade. JD is a RH, but his career splits are pretty even. I'd be on board with picking him up. I could see dropping Bauers or they could option Turang to AAA for more seasoning and use Ortiz at 2b, and JD at 3b. His defense at 3b is not good, but may be worth it to get another power bat in the lineup.

    There is a ton of good points in this podcast on the new 165 man org stateside roster and the new early start of the complex leagues. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fuFSlDJDQQ Many of the points listed above are covered here: NRI flyers are fewer this year with reduced roster sizes minor league 60 day IL not available until mid-march so cannot free up spots until near end of spring training May is cooler than August Evaluate international players more College draftees go to full season anyways (70% of hitters), 26% of prep hitters go to full season. College pitchers 36%, prep pitchers 10-13%, so much less so informal games likely played after complex league is over Rule 5 loophole for draft signing? July 25 - Aug 1st gap to gain an extra year MLB expansion
