We could really use Spencer Watkina

What do we want with a terrible pitcher?

Spencer Watkins will hereby be forever known as Spencer Watkina.

Not a bad move to kick he tires and see if there's anything left in the tank with Teheran.  Maybe Holt the Wizard can wave his wand around and coax out some good innings.

If Mike Elias were ever going to give Adley Rutschman a key element of the Buster Posey life experience, this would have been the Madison Bumgarner (not retired) moment.

Except the Brewers pitching wizards have more power than the Orioles and didn't fix him. Its one thing to get these kind of guys on straight minors deals or with options. My guess is he opts out after spring training. Why give innings to him in spring when we can use them to look at younger guys

I wasn't aware that the Brewers pitching wizards had more juice than Holty.

It's not as if the younger guys aren't going to get looks.  With Bradish probably going down and Means not being ready, we need to take a look at some guys.  This isn't a big deal.

Feels like he’s a name someone brings up every offseason remembering the days when he was considered a good prospect.

[TommyPickles]

I like the addition of Teheran. He was decent last season with the Brewers, he's still just 33, and his 1.130 WHIP in 2023 was below his career average. Nice experience and talent to have in your minors.

[RZNJ]

It’s a 100K insurance policy in case another starter goes down.   By the end of the month they should have a better read on Means and Bradish.  If things look promising on either one and the current 5 is intact do they make Teheran a $2M long man?

If Julio Teheran sees a single MLB start for this team then we're in serious trouble. Even when he's had success in the past it's mostly been with smoke and mirrors.

Did Elias tell you this was the plan?

I don't think he'd be bad insurance.   At 2M, it's not that big of a deal and doesn't stop you from making other moves if you need to do so.

We don’t talk anymore.  He doesn’t like me sharing his plans on the Hangout.   I’m left with taking the information I get and formulating an opinion.   It takes a bit of thinking.  I wouldn’t recommend it in your case.  Stick to judging when top prospects should be sent down during the season.  That’s your forte, right?

Oh yea I don't think its that big of a deal I would just prefer it be a full minor league deal, it just gets tiresome digging through the dumpster thinking we can fix everyone. I am still hoping they go get someone a little more established to backfill injuries

You must have skipped the Brewers half of the coverage of the Burnes trade.

IDK he feels more like The General than Geico or Liberty Mutual.
