    Deplete a major strength for barely any upgrade in a corner outfield.
  2. trwi7
    In no possible way Frelick more comparable to Braun as a player other than both being 1st round picks.
  3. trwi7
    I guess Frelick is more similar to Ryan Braun than he is to Collins since Frelick and Braun are both 1st round picks. And Frelick was only brought up as an example because all the talk is we got rid of Collins before he falls off and has no value because of his xBA and xSLG. I merely used Frelick to point out that his xBA and xSLG numbers are also way lower than his actual numbers and nobody is saying we should get rid of him before he regresses.

    So if we're going the "bunch of options" route, wouldn't it make sense to keep our best option from last year and if he falls back, you go with a different option? Especially since all we got in return is a modest bullpen upgrade to what is already a strength of the team at best and that assumes our pitching lab can fix Zerpa.
  5. trwi7
    If we're going this route, we should probably replace Frelick who had an xBA of .256 and xSLG of .337 And fangraphs has him at 0.1WAR in that same span. On top of this, shouldn't we try to be, I don't know, improving? Collins may very well turn back into a nobody but his actual contribution did happen last season. That should be our baseline, trying to improve on what every player provided last year. We have now removed one of our most productive hitters from a lineup that needs more productive hitters and currently our replacements are a guy who can't stay on the field, a guy who has 0.1 WAR since he's decent rookie season four years ago and a couple other guys who can't hit. This is on top of the 3 starters we already have who were in the 8th percentile or worse of xwOBA on contact last year.

    Probably 200-250ish.

    Baddoo's pedigree is literally having a rookie year where he hit about as well as Collins and has hit like 2025 Joey Ortiz since. That's not a pedigree I want anywhere near starting for my favorite major league team. It's bad enough we have one Joey Ortiz, we certainly don't need another in a corner outfield spot.

    I've seen this a lot and don't understand it at all. Do we have good depth? I would argue we have a lot of guys but they're pretty terrible. Frelick and Chourio have spots but after that we have Yelich who is our full time DH and you probably don't want him in the outfield more than like 25 games a year, Mitchell who has cracked 300 plate appearances once in four seasons and has a huge strikeout rate,, the same problem that Hiura had. Then we have Perkins, Lockridge and Baddoo, none of whom can hit and then Bauers, who can kind of hit but you don't really want him full time in the outfield either. Where is this outfield depth that we should be giddy about? I see three terrible hitters, two injury risks and in the spirit of the season, a partridge in a pear tree.

    Would have preferred Dweezil.
  10. trwi7
    It's not like the Dodgers are our only competition. We barely got by the Cubs. We would've been underdogs to the Phillies. There has to be a happy medium between going all-in and doing nothing.

    "Hey, remember that time we went to the World Series and lost?"
  12. trwi7
    What else is he going to say? This guy sucks and I don't really have any use for him? There's nothing exciting about getting a 28 year old defensive replacement who can't hit no matter how much the manager tries to spin it.
  13. trwi7
    "You have a pitcher that wasn't good for you, costs quite a bit of money and you don't really have a use for anymore. We'll take him, since we need some depth but we're going to need you to include a prospect to offset some of the risk/salary we're taking." "We really, really, really like Brandon Lockridge and are willing to give up our top signing from the international signing period a year ago to get him." Which one of those sounds more likely? Honestly, just look at the Shelby Miller trade. We took Montgomery so we didn't have to give anything up for Miller and honestly, we probably don't do the Miller trade if we didn't clear Cortes's salary as well.
  14. trwi7
    Yeah, I'm guessing clearing Cortes's salary was more of the reason for giving up an actual prospect than anything Lockridge can do on a baseball field.
  15. trwi7
    So is Daz Cameron and we got him for nothing.. And despite how much we "needed" him, he managed a whopping 53 plate appearances in 20 regular season games, with well below average offense in those games and got one start in the playoffs, went 0-2 and was a defensive replacement otherwise. Something that any defensive replacement outfielder could do, whether they have options or not.
  16. trwi7
    lol you can literally find Lockridge on minor league deals all the time for depth. Some on this board are so obsessed with players with options it's like they don't even care if the player with options is even decent at baseball.
  17. trwi7
    And Brandon Lockridge did. Yet if neither of them was on our team and you had a chance to trade for one of them at the same cost, which one would you take?
  18. trwi7
    When do we ever add at the deadline? If we add it's just a cheap reliever or something. Not a reason to shed payroll.
  19. trwi7
    He will be almost 28 years old on Opening Day. How much development is even left? We could and have done worse at SS but expecting this big developmental leap from him is not realistic and not looking for an upgrade or being "fine" with him because he's good on defense and it's ok to have a player like that be your 9th best position player doesn't really inspire confidence in a fan base that the team is turning over every stone to put the best team on the field.
  20. trwi7
    I think Patrick could be a real weapon as a multi-inning reliever. Much like he was used in the playoffs. Don't think he has the arsenal to be a starter. I like Collins as a versatile bench player. I really hope they look to upgrade Durbin. He was bottom 2% this year in exit velocity, XwOBA on contact and hard hit %. The entire left side of our infield are obvious spots to upgrade.
  21. trwi7
    Keep getting in bed with sports books. Clowns.
  22. trwi7
    Maybe Schneider will pull his head out of his ass and not pinch run for literally everyone. Kiner-Falefa I get for defense and Bichette is just coming back from injury but my God, imagine having Kirk with Barger on deck in the 18th instead of Heineman with Straw on deck. He just couldn't wait to go pinch runner anytime someone got on base and the one time it actually mattered, his pinch runner got thrown out by 20 feet.
  23. trwi7
    That I bet on us. You? shirt has to be directed at Ohtani, right?
  24. trwi7
    The playoffs this year are basically what an 8 year old does in a video game. Change every player's rating on one team to 99 and change the settings to rookie.
  25. trwi7
    Congrats to the Brewers on having fewer hits than the Dodgers had runs in this series.
