yeah Borat opening weekend was the loudest I think I've heard a theater laugh so that's wild!

I think I'll take Alonso and all that bat speed. similar terms. More money for Alonso but more likely he remains impact bat and doesn't fall to like 103 wRC+.

I don't mind him as a draft and hold or a bench SP, I have him like the low 100s. Definitely some promise but the injury thing has been rampant.

but it's not Kent's fault Barry did what he did! I get it, but this is the weird place we've come to.

maybe we agree! I think he's a 3.6 type guy with great Ks that's capable of winning a Cy or throwing up a stinker in any single year. But the projections I use say 3.45 guy, so yeah there's some disagreement there.

He has a 3.83 career SIERA, 3.88 career ERA

there's a magnitude thing there. he hasn't always underperformed his peripherals by as much as he did last year.

I'm using that as 27th percentile where 99th percentile is great and 1st percentile is terrible.

September 17, 2023 Milwaukee Brewers optioned OF Joey Wiemer to Nashville Sounds.

and then Wiemer, Encarnacion, Luciano, Matos all go bye-bye. Totally possible. Only thing: There are only two free agent OFs projected to be average or better, and you know who they are and they are $$$$. Maybe a trade instead.

it's pretty bad as it is now. They won't have any allegiance to the righties they do have... Thomas could play CF I like that one.

oh god Luciano out of options too. If you're going to have a random righty with little defensive value on the bench... Matos or Luciano or Encarnacion is pretty funny decision. I might pick Luciano for the bat speed and youth, but Matos for contact I get.

ah insert backup catcher there I guess

eh just do it again do it better
