Only Eric Thames was the primary starter at the position for more than one season, per Baseball Reference. Not exactly the model of consistency you want to s...739Fri, 17 Feb 2023 16:17:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/pecota-projections-love-the-brewers-2023-starting-pitching-rotation-r738/PECOTA allows you to see a variety of projections if a player plays up to their highest or down to their lowest levels. Thus, looking at their 50th percentile stats is the "safest" play. But it's also fun to see what they could accomplish if they reached their 70th or 80th percentile figures.

That was the big takeaway from his polite but angry account of the process of salary arbitration, delivered...741Thu, 16 Feb 2023 18:52:52 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/do-luis-ur%C3%ADas-and-the-brewers-need-to-get-more-aggressive-early-in-counts-r737/I want to build this discussion of Luis Urías and his plan at the plate around earlier work this week at Brewer Fanatic, by Tim Muma and by Harold Hutchison. On Tuesday, Tim wrote a great piece about the potential that Rowdy Tellez could do more damage by taking a new tack at bat. On Wednesday,...737Thu, 16 Feb 2023 13:09:19 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/former-brewer-eric-thames-retires-what-well-remember-about-his-milwaukee-renaissance-r736/The thing I'll always remember most about Eric Thames is an article that appeared on FanGraphs in May 2017. In it, Travis Sawchik detailed the way Thames reinvented himself as a player and matured as a person during his three-year sojourn in South Korea, where he was exiled after being unable to...736Wed, 15 Feb 2023 22:39:11 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/should-the-brewers-extend-luis-urias-r734/Meet Luis Urias, who in the last two full seasons has delivered an OPS+ of 111, highlighted by 39 homers, 42 doubles, and 122 RBI. Not too shabby, especially as he has either split time with Jace Peterson in the past or covered second base and shortstop. In other words, Luis Urias is, at worst,...734Wed, 15 Feb 2023 16:11:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/pecota-and-the-2023-milwaukee-brewers-the-big-picture-r735/The first run of PECOTA-projected standings for 2023 make the Milwaukee Brewers co-favorites in the NL Central with the St. Louis Cardinals. The Crew are projected to win 87.6 games by the system, which utilizes thousands of simulations of the season to get average outcomes.

If Rowdy Tellez is going to take the next step with the Brewers, though, he has to be more aggressive, especially on pitches in the zone. While there's value in working longer a...733Tue, 14 Feb 2023 13:16:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/how-should-christian-yelichs-speed-affect-our-perceptions-of-his-power-r731/    Since fracturing his kneecap on a foul ball in late 2019, Yelich has fallen short of the high standard of performance he set over the two seasons leading up to that injury. He might well have won back-to-back MVP awards, if not for that misfortune, but his last three years have bee...731Mon, 13 Feb 2023 19:06:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-notes-new-projected-standings-aaron-ashbys-shoulder-craig-counsells-status-more-r732/On Friday, FanGraphs released its first look at the projected National League standings for 2023, according to the ZiPS projection system.

Corbin Burnes, Brandon Woodruff, and Freddy Peralta have given the Brewers an excellent trio in the starting rotation for the last two years. In a very real sense, Burnes and Woodruff, arguably two of the best starters in Brewers' history, have distorted the team’s starting rotation...728Sun, 12 Feb 2023 13:36:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/grading-the-brewers-offseason-moves-the-crew-didnt-make-this-winter-r727/In this case, what the Brewers have not done during the offseason is the difference between a deep playoff run and watching the playoffs on TV. Let’s look at what didn’t happen over the offseason for the Brewers. November 6, 2022 Not Re-Signing Jace Peterson In 2020, 2021, and 2022,...727Fri, 10 Feb 2023 19:10:00 +0000
