    The Swine Flu had a mortality rate of 0.02%. Roughly 60 million people in the United States got H1N1 (around 20%), and about 12,500 died. It spread easily and quickly - but the fatality rate was not high. If I'm right, the death rate for seasonal flu is 0.1% - which is higher. Estimates for the death rate for COVID-19 have been running between 1.5% and 3.0%. Let's say that 20% of the population gets infected like in 2009 - that's roughly 65M people. Based upon the above death rate, that equals a death toll of about 1-2 million people. Of course, maybe the infection rate will be much lower - say 10%. Well, that's still 500,000-1,000,000 dead. And perhaps with all that has been learned, the death rate won't be as high. If 10% of the US population gets the disease, and it has a 1% death rate - that's still 325,000 dead. My wife is an exec at for a healthcare system. She's terrified of what it could do. Thanks Reilly, I wish I could "like" this a million times. This is exactly why this is such a big deal and is freaking scary as hell when you look at those numbers and that's exactly what we are heading for, slowly but surely. It's like a car crash is slow motion, with not much you can do about it, and people complain that they can't "live their lives"

    I would potentially be interested, I had played for a bit, but then the league folded.

    Most peoples argument on Walker is Colorado. He probably should get in, but his career WAR is heavily inflated by Colorado. Rolen is on the border for me also, he's definitely in the hall of very good but I'm a high bar hall guy. Jeter I tend to agree is wildly overrated, he has no business being a unanimous election in my opinion. His standing gets inflated by New York bias and his postseason performance(which comes with a lot of chances due to being a Yankee). He definitely should get in, but for me he probably shouldn't even be first ballot. WAR is adjusted for ballparks

    Why would the Angels trade their leadoff hitter when they're hoping to contend?

    Berger isn't going to LSU, I don't believe there is any offer out there from LSU at this point either. They've got 22 committs (outside of flips) at this point and are waiting on Evans, Burch, and Dumervil to fill out the class. https://www.tigerdroppings.com/lsu-football-recruiting/2020-early-signing-day-tracker/87461331/

    The Rockets will spectacularly flame out in the 2nd round or WCF so all will be right in the world at that point.

    2021: SS Arcia 2B Urias LF Hiura

    I get it. We have to grow our own SP in Milwaukee. However, I think the Brewers need to take a long look in the mirror about whether they are going to extend Yelich or deal him prior to him becoming a FA. These guys might be arriving just in time for Yelich to be dealt. So do you either surround Yelich with talent before he leaves and deal some of these guys or do you hold on and not upgrade the roster around Yelich? I think the Yelich issue has all ready been determined for the Brewers ,after two straight MVP seasons there is near zero chance the brewers will have enough money to resign Yelich ,the more pertinent question is when is the best time to trade him for the most value. My answer is, if they don't truly sign anyone to match the production loss of Mous and Grandal, they should seriously consider this offseason. Why waste a year of Yelich if you aren't truly going to contend? It would be a franchise changing deal, and it would probably upset fans for 2020, but can you imagine the influx of young, cheap, controllable talent they'd receive in return for him? Plus, if you were to do that, may as well go ahead and flip Hader too. That'd possibly set up a new 5-7 year window starting in two-ish years, if the talent acquired pans out.

    That's not what I said, I was just pointed out your statement is super flawed

    If top teams were forced to play tougher schedules, they wouldn't always finish with 1 loss. Part of the reason the top teams look so loaded is they are rarely tested. The parity is there, it's just not tested as much. Tell that to LSU who has beat @Texas, Florida, Auburn, @Alabama, and Georgia this year.

    The Angels might be looking at Braun for 3B in 2021

    With how young the middle infield is, Arcia (25), Urias (22), Hiura (23), I could see the Brewers initial plan heading into the season splitting the 2b/SS starts evenly between the three, with the flexibility of playing the hot bat, sitting someone in a slump, etc. Something like Arcia 108 starts at SS, Hiura 108 starts at 2B, Urias 54 at SS/54 at 2B. And if a Shaw 2019 situation arises, the other two step up and get more starts. This also helps protect against injury. Hypothetically, I wonder if the Brewers view Hiura in LF long term. Get through 2020 seeing if Arcia can improve (be more like 2017 version), Urias solidifies himself at 2B, Braun retires and Hiura goes to LF. I know this is full optimistic side, but if Hiura can put up a .900 OPS like many think, that bat definitely plays in LF.

    haha, post of the thread, shut it down!

    I live in Houston as well, what part of the city are you in?

    It's great and all when you've got an awesome player like Yelich signed to a great deal - but if you look at the Angels, what has having Trout done for them? If the rest of the team sucks, it's of no use to have one great player. With such huge potential black holes at SS and C, why not trade your most valuable asset for 3 very very good assets to cover other areas? It's not like the Brewers have minor league players to trade to help the team, they have arguably a bottom 5 system in the league right now and really can't afford to keep trading away any legit prospect. I know it would never happen, but I also see a trade like that helping for the present and in the future.

    Astros are going to start to run into issues on signing Springer, Correa, etc. Brewers in return get their starting SS for the next few years, a potential replacement for Yelich, and a huge upside SP. Guessing the Astros would actually say no to this though.
  18. monkeyman343434
    Bellinger would probably cost us Supak and Suter
  19. monkeyman343434
    What about his 31 years in the Angels system? I know not all of that was spent in LA, but he's got some pretty good connections in SoCal
  20. monkeyman343434
    The only acceptable moves Stearns would have made, would have been to trade Freitas and Lyles to the Angels for Mike Trout, trade LoCain for Castellanos, signed Bryce Harper, and traded for Jack Flaherty. I'm honestly not sure why he wasn't able to pull off all of these moves.
  21. monkeyman343434
    You can only play 3 guys in the OF at a time, this isn't slow pitch softball, and one of those spots is a centerfielder....
  22. monkeyman343434
    pinch hitting Shaw for Arcia is such an insane move right now, just cut Arcia already, or fire CC
  23. monkeyman343434
    Hiura getting hot again! Great double down the line for a Badger Mutual Insurance run.
  24. monkeyman343434
    I'm getting a stronger and stronger feeling it won't be Arcia with how much CC benches him in favor of guys like Spangenburg, Saladino, H Perez, etc.
