    I like winning game 1 of a series and then having Miz start game 2. And Harrison for game 3

    I'm OK calling it a likely 'miss' based on the current results. But not all misses are equal. At some point if you do enough trades, the guys you send out will have really good years afterward based on expectations, and the players you get back will have much worse performance than expected. For me the distinction is partly looking at the overall rate on a lot of trades, and the Brewers generally seem to keep coming out positive the majority of the time. The second consideration is what you don't want are misses where the players leaving turn into difference makers and not just contributors. Especially over multiple years. If Collins has a 3-4 WAR season that stings a little, but at the end of the day you won't look back and be like I can't believe we traded away Collins a few years down the line. Oddly enough while the injury limits his chances there is still time and talent for Zerpa to come back and also have a dominant season with the Brewers.

    The results so far have looked pretty good for Yoho, but does he look close to ready to help in the MLB bullpen. Not an immediate need, but it would be nice to add someone who could be a true weapon out of the pen, and not just a solid arm.

    W!

    The logic is basically that he is currently throwing more pitches faster than anyone else before him in recorded history. So even with good mechanics he has to be putting larger than average strain. And at least from my perspective at this stage injury risks with most pitchers are high enough that I would worry about any long term commitment being a challenge to overcome for the team once you start talking lost years and 20+ million a year. Very different calculus, if you are looking at extension years towards quality arms and you are paying less than 10 million for an injury like Ashby.

    Ashby and Peralta were very solid signs because the salaries were low enough that the team risk was relatively low. I just don't think there was ever a point in Miz's development where he would have been willing to sign for a low enough number to justify the risk for us (unless maybe he had hired Keith Law as his agent). Which is OK he is clearly a special talent.

    I think that qualifies the Miz for unquestioned ace status.

    While I would love to enjoy a 15 year HOF career from Miz, can a guy throw that hard for that long and not have an injury?

    Activity in the Yankee pen

    I will take a 7 pitch AB and RBI groundout from Ortiz
  11. igor67
    On the board!
  12. igor67
    Another 103.6, just insane
  13. igor67
    A little bit extra batting average and basically the rest all being improvement in SLG seems like pretty good evidence of a slightly livelier ball. I don't mind OPS average in the mid .700s is very reasonable
  14. igor67
    Why not wait until camp at this point?

    If the goal is the World Series there is an argument that facing the Dodgers right away might be the best path. Just have to sneak in 2 road wins...
  16. igor67
    Given that in general the Brewers see a lot of pitches they should also accumulate more challengeable pitches. And without getting more challenges there is a bias towards them having more called strikes outside the zone, and even challenge rate. I'm not sure how to quantify the magnitude of the effect. But thought it was worth pointing out, even if the overall message is still that there is room for improvement.

    I have enjoyed it over the decades. Watched it a bit early on, then caught it here or there, but eventually did a full run on streaming 8 years ago or so and stayed up to date since. The LA spinoff was pretty good too
  18. igor67
    I don't want to rain on Tyler's parade, and actually producing in whatever the sample is way better than not. However it's only been 21 ABs for Tyler so far, I wouldn't quite put it in the bright spot for the season category just yet. That said yes to Jones #1 and then Perkins
  19. igor67
    Surprised that WAR comes out the same for both of them since Cameron was generally thought of as one of the best if not the best CF in that time frame as I recall. Granted Mitchell has that slight edge with the bat, but I'm guessing he is also grading out a little better at the base running as well.
  20. igor67
    I think most people recognize that the high strikeouts do make Mitchell a significant risk to flame out. Certainly they also present a big upside for him in that if he does stay healthy enough to really get some serious ABs he might really find some adjustments that help him cut that number down. On the risk side, seemingly anything that gets him out of whack could really lead to looking completely lost really fast. Possibly the bigger one though is that he is approaching that mythical peak age. So if he doesn't make those adjustments, father time stealing that small fraction of youth could also start to push the K rate higher and everything falls apart that way. In the meantime though he is producing and giving some of the other potential replacements the chance to get some more seasoning (Lara, etc) and that is pretty helpful.
  21. igor67
    Very nice start from Harrison.
  22. igor67
    I'll focus on the positive thought that as Greg Jones gets ready to lead off the next inning, we are hopefully just the weekend away of replacing him with Chourio, which is about as big of an upgrade as you can make.
  23. igor67
    Rengifo, I don't normally hit but when I do it's always a double
  24. igor67
    I don't think he has to stay that hot for very long to justify a promotion. Just putting up a month of May where he is hitting well in general could be enough in my mind to bring up Pratt. Having some of those singles fall in of course right now helps make up for the rough start, but I'm sure the Brewers as usual are also looking at all the underlying data before making a move probably with the intention that when he gets promoted he stays up for good.

    I think Hamilton deserves credit for not taking the walk and keeping Ortiz out of a bases loaded situation
