Lineup

[adambr2]

Looking forward to June...True or False. This is the best lineup in baseball:

 

1) Aoki

2) Segura

3) Braun

4) Ramirez

5) Hart

6) Lucroy

7) Weeks

8) Gomez

False. Definitely top 10 for me, maybe top 5.

 

Well they were number 3 last year, and Segura is definitely an upgrade over what they were throwing out there at SS most of last year.

 

Maybe not best in MLB, but I would say best offense in the NL when at full strength.

[TooLiveBrew]

They were #3 in runs. 8th in OPS+, which adjusts for ballparks.

 

Fwiw the offenses I consider them to not be clearly better than, talent-wise, are

 

ATL

CIN

COL

DET

LAA

STL (this one I might be talked out of)

WAS

[PrinceFielderx1]

And Carlos Gomez, his first 37 PA's got on base 6 times and didn't walk once. Why wasn't anyone calling for Logan Schafer?

 

We have low expectations for Carlos Gomez, compared to Rickie Weeks.

[PrinceFielderx1]

The Brewers offense is going to be tops in the NL this season, and perhaps tops in MLB. When Ramirez and Hart come back look out!

[3and2Fastball]

I just really hope RR keeps Segura in the 2 hole when Ramirez comes back and when Hart comes back too. I think leaving Segura there and having Weeks bat 6th (or 7th after Lucroy) really solidifies our lineup and might take a lot of pressure off of Weeks

Going forward, no way Segura projects to be better than Weeks at this point. Happy to throw down some money to a good cause to whomever wants to put their money where their mouth is. $50 to the charity of your choice.

 

It's easy to be 100% sure when you are anonymously sharing your opinion but everyone shuts up when they have some actual skin in the game. Someone, prove me wrong Weeks won a charity $50 last year, so I have a good streak going.

$60 last year. I gave you odds after you called me out on using hyperbole.

 

Segura is a much better hitter than Weeks at this point, so I will gladly bet you on the above though. How about $50, even up, whoever has a higher OPS by the end of the year. 350 AB min. I have Segura, you have Weeks.

I will take that bet as well. Put me down for $50.00 on Segura should he stay in the 2 hole.
