I wouldn't read much into even the secondary stats yet. They have not had enough time to stabilize. I would expect pretty similar swing percentages this year from Weeks. None of that stuff changed even last year and the results stunk. I don't think Weeks will hit well this year but not because of a change in approach. He lost power in 2013 but everything else in the stats looked similar. He just doesn't have the bat speed anymore to generate power.

Gomez is not the same type hitter Cameron was. Cameron had a lot more patience. Gomez has more power. I think Gomez is probably the better overall defender because of a stronger arm. I have heard Gomez described as a hyperactive puppy. He certainly brings a lot of energy and TOOTBLAN's. He had one on the first PA of the season.

Thanks Rock.

The Boston announcers had the opposite tone. They repeatedly talked about how it was the Brewers' aggressiveness that resulted in success. Even by that point the Brewers were around 25th in MLB in walks. They are currently 27th in walks and last in the NL. Then again, last year the Brewers finished dead last (30th in MLB) in walks. So I admit that maybe it isn't a new coaching decision. I think it's the players who are on the team. Gomez, Gennett, and Segura are all guys who don't walk much. Braun and Ramirez are the only guys with a high walk%.
-
So about 5 runs or half a win difference over the whole year.
-
Pitchers have little control over wins. With relievers it is more luck than anything. The best pitcher the Brewers have had recently only won 3 more games than he lost with the team. Thornburg has done well but we would probably be just as well off with someone like Wooten pitching in those spots.
-
Because Thornburg's year of service time as a starter in his early thirties will probably have more value than he will bring out of the pen this year.
-
I don't think K-Rod is our best reliever but that kind of works best in my opinion. Ideally I think a bullpen works best if you have your third best reliever as the closer. That way you have 2 guys who you can call on to end a rally. In a perfect world that would be guys that can go a couple innings. That takes the strain off of guys having to pitch every day. Closing is not always the highest leverage situation your pitchers will face in a game. Bringing a reliever in to replace your starter in the 6th-8th with runners on can easily be a higher leverage situation.
-
I originally wanted Thornburg in AAA starting. I am kind of split on the idea right now. It shouldn't be to hard to get him stretched out if we need him as a starter. It should only take a couple starts. His day might not line up with whomever got hurt so he might make at least one short start anyway. On the other hand I would like him to continue starting because he could be throwing more pitches and work on stuff. More importantly he wouldn't be burning service time.

What do you mean still interested? I didn't think anyone was interested in doing that in the first place.

Random MLB News & Discussion 2014
logan82 replied to Warning Track Power's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Lucroy was a pretty good hitter in the minors especially for a catcher. His only problem was he was behind Salome who had a higher ceiling. -
What Souptown said, except Jeff Suppan got signed after we released him. I have a hard time believing no MLB team would sign Weeks.
-
You can't demote him. If the Brewers try he can tell them to pound sand, take his money(for the whole year), and play elsewhere.
-
The Brewers are gonna suck but hey watch out for them. I think that covers all the bases.
-
Even when he wasn't hitting he was still getting walks and getting on base. When a guy like Segura or Gomez isn't hitting they contribute very little on offense. He hit leadoff most of his career and he was pretty good in that spot.
-
Reading through the posts here the move to K-Rod seems pretty positive. I don't think to many are thrilled with K-Rod but the move and the manager being proactive seems to be well received.
-
If we have to go with something pretty similar to what we currently have I would rather see Gomez #2 because he has more power than Segura.
-
Nothing in the stats means anything right now. How he looks at the plate is all that matters.

Braun April Fools and the classiness of Cardinal fans

or Peralta won an appeal which we never heard about. He was never put on the spot about a possible suspension or winning an appeal. -
Casey McGehee back as a Brewer in 2014?
logan82 replied to TURBO's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I don't really care about the off field stuff. As for his actual performance, what he did outside of his 2 good years is probably a better indication of how good he actually is. It lines up better with his MiLB stats and practically everything else he has ever done. -
The key is the 100% success rate of an intentional walk. Also pitches out of the zone are much more difficult to hit well. I am sure any player could make contact with practically any pitch. As a hitter the key is to make good contact.
-
Not necessarily. Teams do things that are bad strategy all the time.
-
You can't make blanket use of bunting. Pitchers, against shifts, or moving runners over. It is highly situational and once you get into doing the same thing in the same situation bunting loses whatever little effectiveness it has.
-
27.9 instead of 28.8 in the second case. Figured I made a mistake somewhere.

Garza takes a Sheets loss.
