Peter Schmuck mentioned Frank Montas?  What do you all think?

If that is the key pitching addition, I'd be pretty disappointed.

Yeah, I rarely drink, I was more of a social drinker when I was a young man, but in my old age, if I have a drink at dinner once a month, that's a good month.

I'm not much of a drinker either. I'm not sure if it's having kids or being middle aged or what... I just don't have the desire anymore.

I saw this mentioned on twitter last night as possible fits. They didn’t refer to Schmuck in the tweet. He threw 4 outs last year and 39 innings the prior year…..I’d lose all faith in Elias as a GM if that’s the move.

Too many red flags. PED suspension, arthroscopic surgery, etc.

Burns. 
 

I imagine the Brewers will want a ton in exchange for him. Would Kjerstad, Ortiz, Norby, and Seth Johnson get it done? 

Too much …. Ortiz and a couple lesser guys.

Yup...that's the type of guy you sign to a MiL deal with an invite to spring training.

Could be that it takes half a week to get over a hangover now haha.

Montas would be the poor man's 2024 version of Matt Harvey.

As someone who has never had a hangover, I can’t sympathize with this. I see so many people who can’t get over it for days. So glad I never had that issue.

I find as I'm getting older, I'm turning into a drink "snob".   I don't drink a lot, but when I do, it's something worth drinking...and never to excess.

I don’t know how much a person would have to drink to have a hangover that lasted more than a day.  I’ve never heard of that.  As to you, congratulations to you for not drinking, drinking only in moderation, or having a very high tolerance for alcohol, whichever it is.

The older you get, the less alcohol it takes to make you feel subpar the next day.  It really changes the cost/benefit ratio considerably.

It’s the high tolerance thing.  Lol

It was definitely an exaggeration, in my 20's I could have a good night and feel pretty okay by the afternoon the following day. The recovery time gets much longer as I get older, but I'm also a lightweight and enjoy the occasional drink now and then at this point in my life.

Old coach I had (and I mean old) use to say, "Everything in moderation boys!" Next door neighbor I use to have who was a doctor, said a drink a day was good for you. I didn't always listen. Then I got married.
