  1. Stallings definitely earned some more shuttle time this year, and with the way the Brewers work he can definitely feel like he's closer to getting off the shuttle and being a trusted guy.
  2. Ortiz showing life at the plate and crazy good defense at 3rd leaves me not super convinced this is as big of an improvement. His bat even while hitting for a good average was near league average the two prior years and while he has hit a lot more doubles he is still only at 4HR compared to Joey's 3. Now in the fantasy land where Joey could hit like Arraez then you'd have a player
  3. I want to see more of Lara in CF to see how the defense plays relative to Mitchell. That said Garrett is already well past his career high for games played so giving him plenty of rest makes it easier to spread playing time around particularly if the team also starts to get Yelich more rest at DH so you double Bauers and Vaughn up more at 1B/DH. With platooning most guys seem to get in an AB even on off days, so that also helps.
  4. I looked on Fangraphs and sure enough Joey has more DRS at 3rd base already compared to the entire season at SS. Pratt also has more DRS at SS already then Joey did. I can't fully explain that, but hard to argue with improving both offense and defense at the same time.
  5. Fischer is up to 70 PAs in AA and still out hitting High numbers, perhaps most significant is that his K rate has dropped a bit down to 31.4% from 33.3%
  6. 91 games into the season and on pace to win 103...
  7. He probably gets 500, but if slows back down to only being a 30 HR player that still takes 6 more years and he is already 32. On the other hand trying to predict his career trajectory is effectively impossible
  8. Walking Wild Bill to Face Bauers is questionable enough to begin with, but having Vaughn on the bench makes that super weird. Make them pay
  9. The ideal situation is something like Miz goes 6 shutout innings or so with say a 5 or 6 run lead and then you have Stallings finish out game 1. At that point you can pretty much run Game 2 like a normal game except Megill isn't available (I would assume)
  10. I actually kind of want him to see either AA or AAA for a good chunk of a season even if he dominates just to give teams a chance to really try and find a weakness to exploit. Or alternatively he finds his own subtle adjustments to bring the K rate down.
  11. Alternatively they were planning at being at the game and at least wanted Fischer's whiffs to help keep them cool
  12. But I also like the notion of hiding an extra bat at 3rd during a Miz start. I seem to recall from a spray chart he does get relatively few balls hit that way overall.
  13. I'm not sure on all the rules, but I could almost see a weird combination where they some how try and get Lara to be the extra player for the DH only and snag the extra pitcher until the break maybe? In any event I anticipate some additional creative roster shuffling
  14. To that point if you assume in a head to head match-up the Brewers are a 45% chance to win a game vs. the Dodgers at 55% (which is a pretty healthy talent difference) the Brewers still have just over a 39% chance to win the series. As we saw last year to our disadvantage injuries can have a pretty big affect on actual team quality. And the other item I keep in mind is that the Dodgers are the older team, they have more risk of players hitting that age wall as the season progresses (Yelich appears to have already hit his) and we still have some younger guys who could take steps forward as the season progresses.
