He also has enough control to hang on to through the next competitive window. I generally expect the shelf life of a flamethrower to be like 3 years so I'm a fan of dealing him if the right offer is there.

GB% and BABIP haven't really changed. He's still a flyball pitcher and he's having normal luck in terms of hits when guys put the ball in play.
The bad: His HR/FB% has decreased and that is what has dropped his ERA. I'm thinking that is just early season luck, but maybe it is due to some of the next items on the list.
The good: His velocity is up a tick and he's throwing his other pitches a little bit more than his fastball.
Hopefully the good part is what has made the change for him and has decreased the # of homers. If not, he looks like a guy that would thrive in a bigger ballpark with a good outfield behind him.

Chase Field isn't known for giving up tons of HRs which could have helped him this last outing. Sounds like a more outings at Miller Park should bring his ERA up? I think at this point Anderson is what he is.

If we did make a deal, I feel like it would be residual minor leaguers that might be over valued from the Melvin regime, as opposed to any of the core pieces that Sterns has been building

It kind of depends on the deal too. I obviously wouldn't deal any decent prospect for some vet. But say some team had an over abundance of young pitching and was going to send a young starter back to the Brewers for some package of MLB guys but then you needed to include an prospect to get it done. This is obviously a long shot because teams aren't exactly overflowing with young arms but for example say the Dodgers got to a point with injuries that they needed someone like Braun, Shaw, or Thames and were willing to trade a guy like Julio Urias but the brewers would need to add prospects that's the kind of thing that would make sense on the brewers end.

I dont think we trade Braun, Domingo, Knebel, or any of those type of names (Shaw, Villar, Nelson, etc) unless its a package were blown away by. I do think we put feelers out there to see if anyone wants Wily or Garza. My gut tells me we do a small move or two and maybe make a bigger move in the offseason. With that however you might have guys fall back to career norms in which you should have cashed in on in the likes of Anderson.
Jose Quintana's cost-controlled contract would be a perfect fit for Milwaukee, and there's probably no prospect the White Sox would covet more than the Brewers' Corey Ray, who is headed for the Futures Game. He's not only a Chicago native, but is a product of the Sox Amateur City Elite (ACE) program, which helped prepare him for the University of Louisville.

If we're still in first place about a week after the break, I'd imagine we'd be buyers. The division/wild card is too attainable at that point.
Quintana for Ray (top 25 prospect, OF, and from Chicago) and two other prospects, done before we play the Nets and the Cubs at the end of July?
