Very excited to see how Bennett rises to meet a new bullpen role. He was absolutely dominant for innings in 2022 but he encountered quite a bit of inconsistency over the course of his many starts as well. This is yet another storyline to follow in the early going.

I check on Biloxi almost daily to check on Chourio and Black. I’m so encouraged with Black’s numbers and really surprised to see him at 3B. Does anyone know anything about the Brewers intentions with him? Is he trying out 3B or did 2B not work for some reason?

I think 2B is no longer a thing for him because of the shift bans. Range is super important again now and Black just doesn't have good range. I thought he was pretty decent in the OF last year but our OF is stacked with prospects so 3B made the most sense. I still think 1B or super utility is what he ends up being long term but getting him practice at 3B is better than sticking him at 1B at this point.

It might be a fit at 3B, if the Crew are able to extend Adames.  That would keep Turang at 2B.  Only spot on the infield would be 3B.  Not sure if he has the arm strength for that perhaps that is what the Brewers FO is trying to understand.

If they don't extend Adames, then in a couple of years Turang will move over to SS and if Black develops might be the 2B.

Sorry for those without Athletic subscriptions, but this tries to explain some of the K rate and other oddities in the Southern League thus far

 

Incredibly silly that this stuff is being tested in affiliated ball especially in AA.
