It's how he survives as a hitter. It's how he clubbed 22 home runs in 2021 and another 14 in 2022, despite limiting playing time in each season and a high strikeout rate. One sure way to stick around as a fringy big-leag...1789Wed, 17 Jan 2024 15:02:44 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/jackson-chourio-baseball-prospectus-ranking-6th-crews-langford-caminero-carter/Jackson Chourio has been the crown jewel of the Brewers system almost since he signed as an international free agent in 2021. After performing exceptionally up through Double A, he signed a landmark eight-year, $82 million contract that set a new record for the largest ever given to a player yet...1788Wed, 17 Jan 2024 12:10:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/eric-haase-pitch-framing-stats-improvements-2024/  It was cheap and easy to acquire Eric Haase. The Brewers didn't have to compete very hard for him, because his skill set is not in much demand. Nominally, he's a catcher, but he's a poor pitch framer, and that's limited the playing time anyone has been willing to give him behind the dish....1787Tue, 16 Jan 2024 12:26:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brice-turang-approach-heat-maps-second-base-competition/There were at least three seasons within Brice Turang's rookie campaign. He started so cold that, despite his dazzling glove work at the keystone, the Brewers sent him down to Triple A in early June, and he didn't make it back until the very end of the month. Once he did return, though, he caugh...1785Mon, 15 Jan 2024 12:44:49 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/what-ken-rosenthal-should-have-said-and-when-he-should-have-said-it-r1783/By Friday, even Rosenthal himself admitted that he had erred in the choices he made when building the article that ran earlier in the week.

With the expectation that Chourio will crack the Opening Day roster, it may be advantageous to deal from their surplus now rather than later...1779Sun, 14 Jan 2024 13:18:03 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/top-prospects-2024-impact-homegrown-players-black-chourio-quero-rodriguez-misiorowski/  The fact is, some of the holes the Brewers currently have (third base, first base, designated hitter, starting rotation after Corbin Burnes, Freddy Peralta, and Wade Miley) could easily be filled from the farm system--and even improved upon from 2023, whether directly or indirectly. It wo...1773Fri, 12 Jan 2024 16:32:46 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/unzipping-the-brewers-2024-zips-projections-r1782/ZiPS is one of the most comprehensive projection systems in baseball, and has been around for 20 years for good reason.

By 7 P.M. Thursday, the Brewers had to make a decision with six players who were eligible for an arbitration hearing.

Arraez, who will turn 27 in April, is a .326 career hitter, and although he faded after a first-half flirtation with .400 in 2023, he still ended t...1777Wed, 10 Jan 2024 12:52:57 +0000
