Monday at 09:39 PM4 days Didn't think it was physically possible for Cease to be placed on the IL. Thought it was one of the certainties of baseball...4 balls is a walk, 3 outs ends an inning, and 32+ starts is a Dylan Cease regular season.
Monday at 10:08 PM4 days Vaughn went 2-4 with 2 doubles day and now has a 168 wRC+, granted in only 55 PA after the wrist injury earlier.Brewers seem to have found something with him, and he's finally pulling the ball on the regular (45% pull rate this season) even if the power isn't really there he's making better contact overall. Limited player as a below average 1B and the wrong side of a platoon but on the Brewers he just slides in as a solid bat and that's about all they and I'd assume Andrew need for success. That said, a divorce was needed for both parties and there's no hard feelings at this point. Vaughn was a symbol of the failed old regime and it was better for everybody to move on.

Nice guy, easy to root for, but strangely overrated by this fan base.

I was hesitant to let Sosa walk but with Chase holding his own and Sam banging down the door there just wasn't any room for him here. The mistake was probably just letting it come to that, he could have gotten a lotto ticket in the offseason.

The only argument for Sosa was "he led the team in HRs!!!" Not that he was a great hitter who needed PAs.
