With the Smoak signing. I think Arcia is done with this Sogard signing. I dont recall if Arcia has an option but in terms of the 26man roster Arcia isn't making it without injury helping him.

 

Arcia does have an option I'm fairly certain

I give it till mid April before the majority of fans are calling for his release. Honestly just do not see any upside to this signing and wouldn't at all be surprised if he ends up being below replacement level. I guess dumpster diving in baseball can be quite expensive.

If you listen to the majority of fans, pretty soon you're sitting in the stands with them.

 

Sogard has averaged around 1 WAR per year over the last six seasons he has played & is most likely, though certainly by no means guaranteed, to come in around that level of production in 2020.

 

Four & a half million dollars is a perfectly cromulent salary for a player of Eric's ilk.

How could you possibly not see any upside? Look what Sogard did for us in 2017 and for the Blue Jays/Rays in 2019.

 

He's been a uniquely boom or bust player the last few years. If he struggles like he did in 2018 then he will likely be released before the All Star break, but suggesting that you can predict how he's going to perform or that there is no upside to the deal is not realistic. (And $4.5 million is not remotely "expensive" in the context of modern MLB salaries.)

If he would come back for let’s say, $2M, fine. The problem is our manager will play him everyday whether he’s good or bad so he’s gotta go.
"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

Maybe Stearns should give him decent infielders, then Sogard wouldn’t be a good option to play.

He gave him Gyorko and still played Sogard over him.

Maybe the first few weeks of the season they flip flopped a bit. That’s pretty standard as they work out playing time. They quickly weren’t even playing the same position once we dropped the crummy first basemen.

Sogard is NEVER a good option to play, regardless of who else is on the team.

 

If Sogard is your best option, something went terribly wrong from the beginning.

 

He is probably a great teamate and a great human being, but I never want to see him in a Brewers uniform again.

Let's not get carried away with Gyorko. By comparison with most on this roster, he was solid, but his OPS against RHP was under .700. He's better as a platoon player. If Gyroko is batting 4th or 5th, your lineup has issues.

Agreed. We need to stop going back to the Sogard well so often! He gave us a good 1/2 season in '17, but has been terrible in a Brewers season ever since. Like many (I'm looking at you Omar!) in '19, I think he benefited greatly from the juiced baseball that MLB was clearly using.
