What can the Brewers do about Joey Wiemer

[Jim French Stepstool]

My first guess is they do nothing, AFA removing him from the roster is concerned. When at full health his PT is mostly going to be limited to what he does well--defend & maybe PR.

If they DO make a move I think it'll almost certainly be a swap for Perkins. Greg Allen would be a dark horse candidate. Chourio isn't coming, yet.

It wouldn't shock me if Wiemer was starting in the OF next year. For Nashville. If not for the injury bug there's a good chance he'd still be awaiting his ML debut.

Just a word on Mitchell--I'm eagerly awaiting his development as much as the next guy, but he strikes out A TON. Had he not gotten hurt I feel this would've caught up to him eventually. I like the skillset but a guy with his speed needs to make much more contact if he wants to maximize.

Trade him to the Braves and he will OPS .750 with a .255 BA after Seitzer gets a chance to fix him.

In some ways this year might be a blessing in disguise because it doesn't matter when he comes up if those mechanics dont get completely reworked. All it would have done is pushed it another year down the road.
