Tyrone Taylor's elbow injury leaves the team almost wholly dependent upon Garrett Mitchell at that position throughout the early stages of the season, and as exciting...804Tue, 14 Mar 2023 15:11:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-pitching-must-turn-around-terrible-home-run-trend-in-2023-r803/Home runs were down significantly across MLB in 2022, compared to 2021. Unfortunately, the Brewers' starting pitchers took a sharp turn in the opposite direction. The bullpen only minimally improved in two key statistics: Home runs allowed per nine innings (HR/9) and the percentage of fly balls...803Tue, 14 Mar 2023 04:21:14 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/milwaukee-brewers-2023-positional-previews-left-field-r801/Only five players in MLB will take up a higher percentage of their team’s Opening Day payroll than will Christian Yelich: Cincinnati’s Joey Votto; Detroit’s Miguel Cabrera; Kansas City’s Salvador Perez; and both Stephen Strasburg and Patrick Corbin, for Washington. None of those teams are consid...801Mon, 13 Mar 2023 12:30:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-world-baseball-classic-notes-rodr%C3%ADguez-shines-against-puerto-rico-frelick-rakes-r800/Last year, Carlos F. Rodríguez pitched very well in the Brewers system. After being a sixth-round pick from a Florida junior college in 2021, he made the most of his first full season as a professional, moving up from Class-A Carolina to High-A Wisconsin and posting good numbers. He ranked 11th...800Sun, 12 Mar 2023 12:04:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/milwaukee-brewers-2023-positional-previews-third-base-r794/Though they don't directly or solely model themselves on the Tampa Bay Rays, the Brewers do emulate their small-market brethren in their approach to building a position player corps--especially on the infield. That means a lot of playing matchups, prioritizing depth over star power, and understa...794Fri, 10 Mar 2023 13:28:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/2023-mlb-playoff-odds-tiers-by-the-numbers-part-three-r786/Let's quickly rehash this. I went through the FanGraphs and Baseball Prospectus projected standings and Playoff Odds, and have placed the teams in reverse order based on an average of their numbers at both sites. I've also listed the projected payroll for each team, courtesy Cot's Contracts, a p...786Thu, 09 Mar 2023 15:18:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/milwaukee-brewers-2023-positional-previews-shortstop-r791/Almost since the moment the Brewers traded for him in 2021, Willy Adames has been an impact player. While his profile has the kinds of holes that tend to be obvious and oft-discussed, his strengths have come into focus over the last couple of years. That's made him a prime candidate for a contra...791Thu, 09 Mar 2023 13:05:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/2023-mlb-playoff-odds-tiers-by-the-numbers-part-two-r785/As a reminder, the win totals and Playoff Odds listed below represent an average of the projections at FanGraphs and Baseball Prospectus. The payroll figures are drawn from Cot's Contracts, a service now powered by Prospectus. If you haven't already done so, go back and check out Part One in thi...785Wed, 08 Mar 2023 17:29:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/milwaukee-brewers-2023-positional-previews-second-base-r790/Last week at FanGraphs, Jay Jaffe wrote about the weakest position groups on each contending team in the National League. The Brewers showed up in that piece, because according to the FanGraphs second base depth charts, they’re worse off than all but five other teams at that position. The site a...790Wed, 08 Mar 2023 12:22:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/2023-mlb-playoff-odds-tiers-by-the-numbers-part-one-r784/For each of these teams, I found the mean of their projected win totals and Playoff Odds on both Baseball Prospectus and FanGraphs. I've also included each team's projected payroll, according to Prospectus's Cot's Contracts. Lastly, I've broken them up into tiers. Today, we'll just look at the t...784Tue, 07 Mar 2023 16:18:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/milwaukee-brewers-2023-positional-previews-first-base-r783/The great challenge of being a nimble team, committed to winning on a budget and reloading on the fly, lies in finding things the organization can do successfully several times in a row, rather than just getting it right once. The current Brewers regime has demonstrated that invaluable skill, by...783Tue, 07 Mar 2023 13:34:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/milwaukee-brewers-2023-positional-previews-catcher-r782/With the acquisition of William Contreras, Matt Arnold filled the void left by the departing Omar Narvaez and then some. Last week, we broke down all of the work ahead for Contreras and the Brewers on being a better pitch framer and game manager, but that’s just about putting the finishing touch...782Mon, 06 Mar 2023 13:17:00 +0000
