Trade Analysis: Brewers get something to dream on in Jesus Aguilar deal, will but need results soon

It was actually almost long enough, considering Aguilar had shown signs of possibly breaking out of his season-long slump (and more specifically, his season-long power drought). He put up a .298/.346/.574 line, good for a .921 OPS thanks to 3 home runs and 4 doubles in 52 plate appearances, but as the short end of a platoon, playing time was tough to come by.

Aguilar provided the Brewers with a lot of good memories during his 2.5 years in Milwaukee. He became one of David Stearns’ most successful waiver wire scrap heap pick-ups ever, hit himself to an All-Star appearance and 35-home run season, and gave us an all-time great memory with his “They know they have a problem tomorrow” piece of trash talk aimed at the Cubs following a win to force Game 163 last year.
