The Combined 'We're Trading Greinke' Thread (part 4)

[gobrew23]

How do any of these guys help the Brewers win games NEXT year?? or even two years from now?? I do NOT want to lose for two years.

 

Segura will be better than Ransom or Izturis and cheaper than trying to sign a FA SS. So he will help.

 

The two young arms give us a lot of talent in AA and AAA or in the majors next year. Next year we will have Nelson, Jungmann, Peralta Rogers, Thornburg, Burgos and Fiers and now the two arms from the Angels. That is a lot of young talent and we have guys like Bucci and Scarpetta coming off injuries

 

 

Every single one of them unproven, and could be total busts.

Mike Trout was "unproven" in MLB prior to this season. But guess what... he's a stud. Doug took the best offer and got a couple guys that have a high potential to be good players. I'm very happy with this trade.

While I agree with you re-signing Greinke was our best option at staying competitive in the short term, he was determined to test FA.

 

And dude...we aren't the Yankees. Unfortuantely, the Brewers have to take chances on prospects and can't buy solutions.

I guess so but you realize that sometimes minor league players do pan out right?
