Rasmussen was trash but JPF is a solid to decent relief guy.  That’s what we got back in return?  

I trust Stearns, but at some point you can’t just defer to taking flyers on guys and hope it works out.

Not sure I understand this last statement. This is PRECISELY what the Brewers must do. Their success is predicated on achieving that balance of young controllable assets, veterans that have some longevity in the organization, and bargains on the market that allow them to catch a player on a reasonable deal that can solidify a position. Thames, Moustakas, Grandal, Garcia… all guys at a point in their careers where they were affordable and also had some upside.

Mix in a few rentals and you have a pretty strong model for sustained relevancy. You catch a few guys right, and you have a chance to do some post-season stuff… even win the whole damn thing.
