Matt Arnold's Team Perfectly Postioned for this year

[csbysam]

Im pretty close to calling Matt Arnold the GOAT GM. This team is built to perfection to take advantage of the new rules. Shift ban means 2B is near SS importance for range and oh lawd does Turang have range. Next up speed on the base paths. With the pick off rules and larger bases, speed is more important than ever. Mitchell, Weimer, Turang, Yeli to an extent all have above average to elite speed. Check there. Depth all around this team and waiting in the minors. I don't think I have ever been more excited about a Brewers team than I am this year.

Don't forget Chourio and Frelick are chomping at the bit.

2B range is even more important when you consider how little of it Rowdy has, Turang has looked so smooth, with him and Wiemer being key differences so far for me

I wouldn't go quite as far as you did but I think Stearns/Arnold knew these rules were likely coming and prepared for the day they would.
