Long-term extension thoughts: Hiura and Grisham

[sveumrules]

And how is Grisham comparable to Jake Marisnick? He wasn't a 1st round pick, was never as highly regarded as Grisham was, never had the type of year Grisham had and was never a considered a top draft pick.

 

Marisnick AA age 22 | 298 PAs | 294/358/502 | 150 wRC+

Grisham AA age 22 | 283 PAs | 254/371/504 | 151 wRC+

 

Marisnick was also ranked 28 (BPro) 58 (MLB) 67 (BA) pre-2012; 71 (BPro) 70 (MLB) 64 (BA) pre-2013 & 65 (MLB) 79 (BA) pre-2014 because he performed throughout the minors from day one (142 wRC+ in R, 152 in A, 127 in A+).

 

Where Grisham came in at 99 (BPro) 83 (MLB) 49 (BA) pre-2016 & 99 (BPro) pre-2017, but fell off because he never put up elite numbers (outside of BB%) until this year.

The original post was well thought out and explained.

 

Would love to lock up Hiura long term if he’d be game.

 

In Grisham’s case, he could revert back to his old form and the Brewers would have a Jon Singleton situation on their hands.

 

Since we control him for the next 6 years anyway, I doubt Brewers would even entertain the small financial risk, when it’s not warranted.
