Geez, another great start to get themselves out of the hole.

Rally time.

[Iheartfootball]

I don't like this team very much right now.

[leroyjw10]

It'd be great if Burnes and/or Peralta could be at all useful.

[BigDee]

Freddy is a damn batting practice machine.

[BigDee]

This is going to be a long season.

Jacob Barnes or Aaron Wilkerson. Things are on the up n' up.

Derek Johnson, we hardly knew ye. New pitching coaches are coaching em' up.

We need Jimmy Nelson back stat and Stearns better have a deadline move in mind for a starter or a couple bullpen arms.

Using what exactly?

I realize the pool is thin of even Maverick Phillipses or Jorge Lopez types but it doesn't take a ton to acquire tier B or tier C type guys anymore. Maybe it will with the earlier deadline this year. We've given up almost nothing of value for all of the guys we've acquired in the past few years.

It's fair to wonder if we even have AAAA guys with upside like Phillips or Luis Ortiz left, though. And at some point you also just need those guys for depth.

I don't really think B and C type guys really help that much. And pretty much every prospect we'd be willing to move is playing like **** and not a great prospect to begin with. Ray is striking out nearly 50% of the time, Lutz has a .250 OBP, Dubon, shockingly can barely keep his OPS above .700.

B and C guys would help this Brewers team. All they need is some depth in certain areas. Guys like Moustakas, Soria, and even Gio can and will help. Schoop was a failure for the 2 months he was here last year but on the whole a player of his caliber in the pitching staff would help.

The pitching has been bad but just somewhat finding a way to fill in for Knebel and Jeffress' absence in high leverage can be done by getting an MLB caliber starting pitcher to maybe push some guys back into the pen.

And the pitching has been bad but we've faced the toughest schedule in the league and are over .500. I'm not excited about the long-term pitching outlook of Burnes, Woodruff, Peralta, but those guys can be serviceable once we start seeing the Pirates and Reds more often. Granted, the NL is such that we are going to have like 5 or 6 series for the entire season where we are playing a truly bad team. Even the Reds and Pirates are competent teams for now.
