Nobody likes The Moose?

Ferg1945 · 02-17-2019, 06:11 PM

Mike Moustakas signed another 1 year contract tonight. Signed one last year as well.

Is he asking for too much? figured someone is always willing to sign a guy for 3 years.

Hollywood42 · 02-17-2019, 07:07 PM

He messed up so bad

rman112 · 02-17-2019, 07:12 PM

I wonder what he ended up making last year. I remember he supposedly had a bunch of incentive potential.

I thought there was only one Moose in baseball. lol

I thought the same but then again at his age maybe he didn't want to go to the Chisox or Padres? Phillies could have been an option, but I think that with the lineup that the Brewers have they will be in the playoffs this year as opposed to rebuilding with Sox or Padres.

I think he is a solid player, but nothing special. He had too many people whispering in his ear that he is more than what he is.

mfw13 · 02-17-2019, 10:19 PM

Well, he was a 0.4 WAR player last year, and has averaged about 1.5 WAR per season over his career, so $10 million is pretty good.

He really needs to fire his agent. Will end up making less or at best about break even over 2 years compared to what he would have made in 2018 had he accepted KC's qualifying offer.

I like Moose. $10 MM is fair. There’s a mutal option so maybe he gets to stay there for another year.

bulljh · 02-18-2019, 01:40 AM

Well his signing basically mean Keston stays down on the farm for another barring some sort injury to the big club.

msink28 · 02-18-2019, 08:40 AM

He had 2.5 WAR last year, not 0.4. 0.4 was for his sample with the Brewers. It is a nice value play for Milwaukee, much like the Grandal signing.

StlScott · 02-18-2019, 09:06 AM

If all teams were trying to win then he would be more valuable.

That option was there for this year but Moustakas declined his end - it's possible the Brewers may have declined their option and he pre-empted this.

Still, you have to question the advice he's been given. He turned down the $17.4m qualifying offer in '17, then obviously declined the option for '19 - that's 32.4 million over two years. He ended up taking $5.5 for '18, and received $1m in a buyout when he declined the option for '19. So, instead of $32.4m for two years, he's ended up with $16.5m. I'm sure he's not hurting for cash but that's a lot of dough he's passed up.

nyjetsmets1 · 02-18-2019, 09:16 AM

He got a 1 year $9 million contract for this year compared to the $6.5 he got last year. I would say he made out alright. Could he have signed for 3 year $27-30 million? Sure, but I think he was smart to sign right now. Milwaukee could always extend him in the middle of the season.

Samething they said last year.

What hurts him is that 3B is so deap right now no contenders are needing 3B, so no need to pay for him.

What does the brewers batting order look like now.

1. Cain

No he will be up trust me. Shaw will just platoon. This was the whole reason they only signed Moose to a 1 year because shaw has better power numbers and will move back to 3rd next year and Keston will be the starting 2B.

If and its a big if arcia can hit around .240-.250 they might have the best offense in the National League.
