ramssuperbowl99 Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share Posted February 3, 2021 Honestly having to endure this crap isn't worth it. Plus he's the most boring baseball player alive. This signing isn't bad mathematically but it sucks in every other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I think it's a great deal btw but I've always been a Wong fan. I'm interested to see what the batting order would look like. Think I'd go... 1. Wong, 2B 2. Cain, CF 3. Yelich, LF 4. Hiura, 1B 5. Garcia, RF 6. Urias/Robertson, 3B 7. Narvaez, C 8. Arcia/Urias, SS Assuming we don't bring in another bat. I'd actually look into Marwin Gonzalez to be our 3B and leave Urias as the UTIL guy for now. 1. Wong, 2B 2. Cain, CF 3. Yelich, LF 4. Hiura, 1B 5. Garcia, RF 6. Gonzalez, 3B 7. Narvaez, C 8. Arcia/Urias, SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a career 81 wRC+ batting lead off, 98 wRC+ batting 2nd, 113 wRC+ batting 7th, and 97 wRC+ batting 8th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just going L/R/L/R to break up the batters but that really doesn't matter with the 3 batter rule anyways. Cain, Wong, Yelich, Hiura, Garcia, 3B, Narvaez, SS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah acquiring Wong to move Hiura is like replacing a Porsche with a 2013 Corolla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but it's Wisconsin. You can drive a Corolla in the snow therefore the 2013 Corolla >>> the Porsche Also, Fangraphs continues to be the best lol... https://blogs.fangraphs.com/brewers-sign-kolten-wong-to-overhaul-infield-defense/ Quote Hiura was never a long-term fit at second base, and giving him a new position to learn now rather than later is certainly not a bad idea. The Brewers have struggled to generate offense at first base; before Hiura’s shift, they were relying on Daniel Vogelbach, an enjoyably-shaped player who got DFA’ed by two different teams last year.

But he's doing his damnedest to wash that crud away. He was smart enough to sign with a team that doesn't dabble in the Satanic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 We should go after Sheldon Neuse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 What are you guys comfortable giving him? We've shown to be willing to go 3 years but not 4 and he wants 4. He's 36. 3/50? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) Had we not traded Grisham/Davies for Urias/Lauer and then used Avi's $18 Million, giving that to Didi and Asdrubal Cabrera or Maikel Franco for a year rather than 2 years for Avi, we may have won the Central last year, assuming Cain doesn't opt out too. Also, wouldn't have had to sign Lindblom. 1. Cain, CF 2. Grisham, RF 3. Yelich, LF 4. Gregorius, SS 5. Hiura, 2B 6. Braun/Vogelbach, DH 7. Vogelbach/Franco, 1B 8. Cabrera/Franco/UTIL guy, 3B 9. Narvaez/Pina, C 1. Woodruff 2. Burnes 3. Davies 4. Anderson/Suter 5. Houser/Peralta We may have won the damn NL Central and made a run.
