This ignores the Brewers’ needs, though. They have outfielders up and down the roster and are trying to compete. It’s no coincidence that the players coming back are both MLB ready and are a pitcher and a shortstop.

If I was in the Brewers position, I would have asked for Lee and not moved off that position. He’s an absolutely perfect fit for them right now. 

For sure! I was basically just quoting a similar package in value. That's why I talked about sweetening the deal by including a cost controlled shortstop option like Willi Castro or whomever.

Brooks Lee is still an overpay, though. It's not like the Brewers don't have any other assets and it's impossible for the Twins to work out a deal sending Lee to the Brewers along with exchanging some other prospects to balance it out.
