Offseason Transactions

Could StL be loading up on cost controlled pitching to flip to the Marlins for Yelich?

They think Pham is the second coming of Jesus. Ozuna/Pham/Dexter is their OF

Dexter’s arm in CF was weak and can only be worse in RF.

We are going to take so many extra bases on his arm out there. It’s crazy he’s going to RF

Brent is getting beat up on twitter for suggesting that the players might be holding out because they’re afraid of the big bad union.

With his arm (and really not great range) it wouldn’t surprise me if he ranks as one of the worst defensive RF’s amongst those who qualify this year

A guy who knows things/“has sources” at Brewerfan.net says this is a big trade, fwiw

Villar and a bunch of prospects for Castro and Yellich? They have the minor league talent to pull that off?

I could see that, something like Villar, Santana and prospects for those 2. Or else maybe a Fulmer or Archer trade

 

Have seen it could be Ellsbury, essentially buying a prospect by taking his salary. That wouldn’t strike me as “big” but would potentially bring the Yankees back in to the Darvish sweepstakes

Brewers also apparently have made a formal offer to Darvish.

Just so long as they don't trade for Archer and then sign Yu, it's all good.

Funny thing is, even if they made both those moves and lost nothing from their roster, they'd still project more than ten games behind the Cubs by Steamer.

All these rumors about impact guys and then the Brewers just ending up with Whit horsefeathering Merrifield would be just terrific

Wow. Nice. And we'd gain even more ground again when we sign Cobb or (ducks head) Arrieta.

How are the fans at that Brewers message board handling the idea of them shortening their window?

LOL. The guy who claims to know things there says there is a waterfall of moves set up and multiple trades are agreed to but predicated on one going through. I could see something like Travis Shaw to the Yankees for Ellsbury and most or all of his salary and a good prospect or 2 then Domingo Santana and maybe a guy like Villar or Sutter/Woodruff and a prospect(s) to the Indians for Kipnis and Salazar then they can go sign Moustakas/Fraizer for 3B. Don't think it makes them better but allows them to potentially sell high on two guys and buy a good prospect or 2 from the Yankees and a lotto ticket in Salazar if he ever stays healthy.

Fun Fact, according to Steamer Jason Heyward would be the leader in WAR for the Brewers in 2018. .5 more than the top position player and .4 more than the top pitcher. We have 11 players projected for more WAR than the Brewers highest projected WAR player and Bryant and Rizzo both project to produce more WAR by themselves than the Brewers entire starting infield combined (Thames, Villar, Arcia, Shaw and Vogt) as well.

 

Basically when the Brewers show up to a projection fight with us and think they can compete....

I’m waiting with bated breath to see who the Brewers get to keeps them within the delusion of a WC spot.

 

ENOUGH!

 

Any frustration I had ,with last year’s team, was their penchant for not always achieving their obvious greatness. It had nothing to do with the horsefeathering Brewers. 92 wins is the floor, not the ceiling, you plebs. I assure you I’m too drunk and dumb to understand any dissenting argument, so save it.

Josh Harrison trade?

[Post Count Padder]

Giants signed Austin Jackson to a 2-year deal. Reports are they want him as their 4th outfielder and are still looking.

 

Things are "heating up" (relatively).

I can barely stand the heat coming from the hot stove.

Padres are claiming they were hacked. This continues to be the dumbest offseason.
