Baseball Savant is full of funny colors and statistics, and the website gets a little more crowded every year as more and more niche information becomes publicly accessible.

Maybe so. But there are things every bjt as enduring and even more wonderful than proofs of past superiority. The Brewers have made an unfortunate habit of getting knocked out of the postseason early, over the last several years. At least in 2011 and 2018, they h...2913Wed, 25 Dec 2024 12:10:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/is-second-class-free-agency-an-existential-threat-to-brewers-model-of-sustainable-success-r2910/Most of the time, the Brewers don't want to spend big in free agency, anyway. But what happens when that's simply not an option anymore? This winter has already carried off two of the Brewers' most important players of the last four seasons, in Willy Adames (a free-agent departure who pulled...2910Tue, 24 Dec 2024 00:10:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/the-conditional-picks-you-arent-aware-brewers-have-for-2026-r2906/The acquisition of Nestor Cortes was more than a one-year rental for the Brewers, it gave them a chance for a compensatory pick if Cortes pitches well enough for the Brewers to make a qualifying offer. But the Brewers don’t just have that chance with Cortes, they have two other shots with player...2906Mon, 23 Dec 2024 14:08:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/what-are-brewers-remaining-offseason-needs-r2908/With their most prized trade asset now spent, what other parts of Milwaukee’s roster still need help going into 2025? It has been a pretty busy offseason around the league. More than $2 billion in free-agent contracts have been signed, and the trade front has seen more than a few impact play...2908Mon, 23 Dec 2024 12:19:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/can-griffin-canning-be-a-cheap-middle-of-the-rotation-option-for-the-crew-r2899/Way back in 2017, Griffin Canning was the 47th overall pick in the MLB Amateur Draft by the Los Angeles Angels. The second-round selection made it to the majors in 2019, but in his five seasons in the bigs, he has disappointed. After his recent trade to Atlanta and subsequent release days later,...2899Sat, 21 Dec 2024 12:57:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/brewers-could-vary-alignment-of-brice-turang-joey-ortiz-and-caleb-durbin-based-on-pitcher-handedness-r2905/The Brewers have three versatile infield defenders slated to get substantial playing time in 2025. Might they leverage that versatility creatively, based on matchups? Caleb Durbin is a fine defender, but his size and (therefore) arm strength are limiting factors. You don't want the diminutiv...2905Fri, 20 Dec 2024 16:11:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/nestor-cortes-deceives-hitters-in-different-ways-than-most-brewers-pitchers-r2903/Chris Hook and company excel at helping pitchers maximize the deceptiveness of unremarkable stuff. They should avoid some of their go-to tricks with the Brewers’ latest rotation addition, who marches to the beat of a unique drum. The Brewers have well-oiled systems in place to maximize pitch...2903Fri, 20 Dec 2024 12:44:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/garrett-mitchells-swing-speed-reached-elite-territory-late-in-2024-so-now-what-r2902/Even if the team will take further steps to replace their departing slugger, it's clear that they'll need a power surge from their young outfielder. He has all the tools to do it; he just needs a new plan. It's pretty stark, when you stop and examine it. It's not just that Garrett Mitchell h...2902Fri, 20 Dec 2024 00:10:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/which-teams-could-match-with-brewers-on-an-aaron-civale-trade-r2901/If Matt Arnold wants to free up some money for more moves this winter and reorient his roster toward a long-term outlook, which potential contenders could emerge as takers for an impending free-agent starter? For the Brewers, it's never as simple as it looks.

That’s not as much the case for the Brewers and one of their top prospects. Tyler Black’s first tastes of the big leagues were brief and unsucce...2900Thu, 19 Dec 2024 12:21:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/milwaukee-brewers-news/brewers/william-contreras-was-the-least-accurate-throwing-catcher-in-baseball-this-year-r2897/Wild Bill, indeed. It was, all in all, a great year for William Contreras. He bashed the ball. He sustained enough of his 2023 gains as a pitch framer to be a fine defensive catcher, overall. He was the heart and soul of a division-winning team, and he stepped up in an especially crucial way...2897Thu, 19 Dec 2024 00:02:02 +0000
