HaroldSouthside Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 He looked like he was going to be a legit #3 in Milwaukee a few years ago and then...he wasn't. This is a dumpster dive that could conceivably work out. If his shoulder is healthy and the sinker is working he can get major league hitters out.

A better Flexen? McKendry Shuster Clevinger Dunn Nastrini Iriarte Wikelman O.White C.Rodriguez Schweitzer all somehow worse options... Gilbert will be on the shelf for at least a month or two btw. Martin Perez until at least July. Adisyn Coffey or Dan Altavilla next men up in the bullpen merry-go-round.

The Mighty Mite Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I can’t believe that JR continues to allow Getz to spend money on mostly garbage, anyone have any idea how many guys have come and gone since Getz took over in late season 2023. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better question...how much money was spent on stiffs, has been's, injury prone guys, dead beats et al. JR (from what little we know) won't object to wasting millions on those type players even under Hahn but we sure as hell know what he thinks about paying premium money for premium talent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boopa1219 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I like how active this FO office when it comes to adding depth and mixing up the bottom of the roster. A rebuilding team should totally be doing this but I hope it continues when they’re competitive as well. I have no problem with them taking a flyer on Houser. They need someone who can come in and eat innings to save the bullpen. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this says more about Jerry, than Getz. Jerry is always looking to spend $0.50 in hopes of getting more than he paid for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
