Spartans Rule Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Brewers talking to Kimbrel, per Twitter. Don't know how serious it is, but if he signs there it would cause some fun reactions on the north side of Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbrel should wait until after the draft, at which point the compensation pick expires. That has been the deal breaker, almost as much as his salary demands. He would make more money by waiting, probably have teams bidding against each other for his services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to say if you're not sitting on him in a dynasty league. 😡 I kind of agree though. High-end relievers make their biggest impact in the postseason. It's not a huge deal if he misses April and May, and whatever contender's bullpen implodes first (Red Sox? Braves? Cubs?) will be feeling the heat to do something about it. I did read somewhere that the Brewers' draft pick compensation would be lower, which may be part of the reason for their interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many turns before Nelson is healthy? Nelson appears to be healthy based on his last spring start, had a great stat line and hit 95 on the gun. Now he just needs to get stretched out, I'm hopeful he only misses 2 turns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predict he has a big year Scott Servais has said that every third or fourth start Kikuchi will pitch just one or two innings, then get pulled. They have him on an innings limit, and this method will allow him to pitch until the end of the season rather than get shut down in August.
