I'd rather have four potential $1 pieces than one $1.

Thats a stretch -

I mean, you're the one who simplified it in the first place.

A. You get a legit young star - Yelich
B. You hope that Ray, Harrison or Grisham hope to be

Or we just play Brinson in CF and don't deal away the top of our future rotation in Burnes and Ortiz.

Yelich makes plenty sense, he is a cost controlled proven major leaguer that the Brewers would get in his prime year 26-30. Really, every team should at least inquire about what it takes. It certainly depends on the deal but I highly doubt Ray, Harrison and Grisham combined will have a better age 26-30 than Yelich.

Hard pass on Yelich. I thought we were drafting and developing? Why send out your top prospect(s) when this team is not ready yet? The wouldn't want Ray or Harrison straight up. I wouldn't deal any pitching when that is not a strength of this roster at this point.

I'm in the boat that believes last year was an anomaly and they will regress this year. Draft and hold please. I agree with RS, why not just play Brinson and see how he develops?

He makes literally no sense given our organizational strength and the cost of acquisition.

I think I said it last year that Hiura would be our best hitting 2B right now. It won't happen but it'd be great if he batted his way onto the roster.

How do we still have Wren?
How has no one given him a shot lol.

Is Yelich not what we want/are expecting out of Ray/Brinson/Phillips in a few years?

We are far from any window closing (it's not even open yet), but Yelich is literally what we hope one of those three guys can become. I'm not sure that any of their ceilings are that much higher than Yelich right now; and he's only 2.5/3 years older than those three.

Is that exactly why we don't need him?

My point is that you are hoping one of those three becomes him, but he is already their ceiling.

I'm not saying they should or shouldn't trade for him, but disregarding him because we have someone who could be him is silly.

We already have Braun and Santana and Yelich is a **** defender in CF. So we're not "hoping" on anyone. Braun is here for the duration of his contract and isn't losing his spot and the upgrade on Santana is minimal and a net negative overall when considering the asset cost of trading for him.

So once again, why the **** are we talking about Yelich?

M-C-G · Post #634 » by **M-C-G** » Fri Jan 19, 2018 7:17 pm

Keep the guys we have and let's see who rises to the top. If more than one of the guys, move Braun to first base and play with the best 3 of the OF guys and use Keon as your fourth OF. That is plenty good enough for me.

Assuming we make some noise this year, then look to add and impact pitcher mid season with controllable years left. I do not however see the point of trading multiple assets for an OF when we loaded up so heavily on the position.

Lastly, really would be awesome if Hiura was our 2nd baseman this year, as in he hits so well they can't not bring up him up. I would however give Villar every chance to rebound to the guy he was last last season. So maybe that let's you keep Hiura in the minors long enough to save one more year of control

Sorry for talking about trying to acquire all star caliber 25 year olds.

I get your point. And if they were closer to competing I might be more on board. I just can't see it though right now.

Marlins want Acuna for Yelich from the Braves. Theres no way i'm anywhere near comfortable paying for Yelich.

WeekapaugGroove · Post #638 » by **WeekapaugGroove** » Fri Jan 19, 2018 9:39 pm

I'm not reading too much into the brewers 'inquiring' about Yelich. Of course they should do their due diligence and understand what the Marlins would want for him, most teams in the league probably did this since he's a good young player on a decent contract. Who knows maybe the Marlins are high on a couple prospects that the brewers are secretly not as high on and the deal becomes too good in their eyes to pass up. Obviously they would need to turn around and deal Santana if they go him because I don't think he should be playing CF.

Ultimately I highly doubt anything happens but never hurts to kick the tires on any potential move.

Because he’s a local media/message board inflated player with an inflated Colorado Springs batting average. Might be something but if it was likely, someone else would’ve scooped him up.

Be fair, he's hit pretty well everywhere.

But yes, I agree if he was something, someone would have grabbed him already.
