The 2016 MLB Random Thoughts Thread

Considering what Heyward got and guys like Choo/Ellsbury, etc. got, Braun's on a bargain deal. He's a complete piece of shyt, but he's still producing and with Bumgarner/Cueto/Shark in the rotation, SF will be in the hunt for the duration of Braun's contract. Assuming they don't have to give up that much, I don't see what it'd hurt. Braun's only had one really injury plagued season.

Wonder if they might try to move him to 3B in the future if they got him. He used to play SS, so I'd think he should be able to handle it.

3B is out of the question. duffy is great defensively, even though hes struggling offensively. I think a lot depends on pence outlook in this thing, but my initial thought is I dont care for braun's contract and baggage.
shyt we couldve had adam duvall playing OF right now if it wasnt us trading for a dumb rental as usual

Braun probably be a utility bat for the giants... he's definitely not a starter over anyone

It probably won't take a lot of prospects unless the Brewers eat a lot of the contract

What's exactly wrong with his contract?

He's fallen that much?

Start Angel Pagan over Ryan Braun, brehs.

Nats pitcher's first six outs were strikeouts

Braun would be a huge offensive upgrade no doubt...but again, its a 'win now' move, Im worried about the future.

If Kris Bryant got hurt on that play, there'd be a rule for it.

That's why I said I was giving it until this month. No way Robin survives the week let alone the series if they go 7 games back.
