Brewers 2024 Discussion - Uribe down, Martin up

Thunder Muscle · Post #121 » by **Thunder Muscle** » Mon Apr 22, 2024 7:53 pm

Kinda wonder if Miley is done. He didn’t look particularly well in his couple outings and has been hurt a ton since camp broke. He even appeared to tweak his hamstring in the SD start where he stayed in.

Rotation is in flux… Hopefully Rea can keep up with how he is pitching. Feel like they’re going to have to try someone in the free agent market as a stopgap, but sure not much appealing out there.

I wonder at some point if Trevor Bauer's name gets floated in the front office. We're going to need help from somewhere.

It'd be really nice if Myers shows something, because the cupboard is pretty bare in AAA. Carlos Rodriguez has walked the world since reaching AAA and Ashby doesn't even look like a AAAA player at this point. Janson Junk will probably get a look again at some point. Chad Patrick might get a call but that would require a move to the 40 man.

The most exciting option on the 40 man right now is Bradley Blalock in AA, but he's thrown so few professional innings it's probably not realistic to see him get the call up.

What the actual **** is going on? Even the injured guys are getting injured. I hope he's okay.

Is very bad to steal Jobu’s rum.

Be interested if they have had any internal discussions on him. My guess is they don’t want to disrupt what they have going on. Allegations aside, he was a questionable teammate/personality. Granted he maybe has grown a bit, but just don’t see the Crew going after him.

How bout a zach grienke reunion? So what if he's cooked. Pat Murphy himself will be starting games soon

Kinda wonder if that happens too. He was definitely below average last year but the year before serviceable. Can maybe talk yourself into last year just being a bad year and maybe he can give you what he did in 2021-2022. But there is the reality he is 40 and may be done. He also is close to 3,000 strikeout mark which Crew could spin into celebration.

Who else are even FA options? I saw Syndergaard tossed out there. He was average in 2022 but otherwise subpar since in like 2018-2019. I’m going off ERA+.

Vince Velasquez on paper seems like be an option. Does he have something legally going on or an injury? Last year with Pittsburgh was 4-4, 3.86 era, 112 era+. He is 31.

Rest if the guys have some name value but don’t think have much in the tank. Bumgarner is 34 but hasn’t been good since his last year in SF in 2019. Dallas Keuchel hasn’t been good in 4-5 years either. Johnny Cueto was okay in 2022 with the White Sox but is 37/38 off a poor season.

At that point do you just try something in house like Janson Junk I guess.

Time to consolidate some of our young position players into a SP. Wiemer + one of Monasterio, Dunn, or Miller. Feel like Miller and Monasterio have both been hosed out of playing time for Dunn and he's the weakest of the 3, despite his hot start. Would like to see more of Monasterio considering the season he put together last year, but I think Miller deserves that spot on the roster.

Wiemer, Monasterio, Dunn and a couple of prospects should be able to land us 2 decent SP for the back end of the rotation. I'd probably throw Quero in there as well to maximize return, while extending Contreras.

Yeah, not that we should be in immediate win-now mode or anything, but it would suck to waste this great start because we don't have a single, reliable innings-eater outside of Peralta in the starting rotation. There was always gonna be a position crunch with all these young outfielders, so maybe get out in front of it and see if you can flip a couple for a serviceable arm.

Thunder Muscle · Post #132 » by **Thunder Muscle** » Tue Apr 23, 2024 5:28 pm

I would not throw in Quero. His value is likely down a bit with the injury and rather wait & see on him. Contreras may need DH time at some point too.

I’m all for moving a young OF and/or 1 of the utility guys. Frelick probably nets the best return but I’m not high on moving him. Wiemer stock has to be plummeting with each MLB at bat. I was highest on him because offers some power but he looks like a mess at the plate. At this point Perkins may net a better return than Wiemer or Mitchell.

I’m indifferent to Dunn, Miller, Monasterio. All have their moments but also think all similar utility types. I think we could afford to move one.

But what does a Wiemer/Monasterio package really get you? Maybe more than I think if someone feels Wiemer just needs a fresh look.

Unless you're moving Sal, I don't think anyone is bringing back what the Brewers need.

That’s not exactly ideal I wouldn’t think. Doesn’t seem like a quick return either way.

Quero packaged with one of our fringe guys will net us a solid #3 pitcher for the rotation.

That's not happening. He's a catcher and he **** up his throwing shoulder.

We don't know if his shoulder is done for good. If it is, he's much more valuable right now then he will be next season. Someone will take a chance on him and we don't need him with Contreras.

Cut Bauers and promote Black.
