    Heels season 2 started last week. The first episode was good. If you haven't watched season 1 it is on STARZ but it is a really good series.

    Turang will always be a BABIP driven hitter and when he has his chase rate low he will be good enough offensively. When his chase and K rates start to rise he will be replacement level offensively. The power will probably never come but that should be fine for your #8 or #9 hitter. Frelick will probably be the same though he looks to have better bat to ball skills than Turang. Frelick should have a higher average but both look to be weak power wise.

    Probably disappointed but sometimes it is best to just hold where you are at. Sometimes buying turns you into the 2018 Pirates a team that probably should have sold but instead bought. They probably could of bought off of the margins but there really wasn't anything to buy on the margins for starting pitching this deadline.

    Assessing if he should be in AA or AAA next year would mostly be the decision of if they want him to be playing in the cold or would they rather see him develop in a warmer climate in Biloxi. I think this is why they put him in AA than in A+ where he barely played to start the year this year. Something similar maybe behind that for Chourio. Also AAA isn't really all that big of a step up from AA. The biggest jump in the minors is going from A to AA. I wouldn't be surprised if Chourio starts on opening day for the Brewers either. I still think the plan is for Chourio to finish out the year in AA.

    Strike out less than 25% of the time in AAA. Probably would need to be in the teens in AAA for teams to take Hiura seriously.

    Arnold’s contract expires after this season. Though I expect Arnold to be resigned and they are just waiting to see if they need to promote anyone so they can refuse teams from interviewing.

    I thought Urias was going to be traded but I thought it would have been the Nationals picking him up. Value wise he is probably worth less than what the Brewers received. Probably closer to $1mm in excess value or just a bit less.

    Hiura clone with more team control.

    But I thought Stearns was telling Eppler what to do last year and this offseason?

    Stearns sabotaging the Brewers again!!!!

    Frelick is looking over matched the last few games. Probably best to send him back to AAA once Canha arrives.

    Baseball savant is basically MLB. The strike zone on that site is about 90% accurate. It is not exactly the same as the one umpires are graded on but it is the closest one we have. The strike zone on baseball savant can be off a bit depending on where the teams have their cameras setup at their stadiums.

    Not sure what you mean by this. The last pitch was too close to take.

    Burger is closer to Hiura than he is to Adames offensively, both K way too much to be anything but boom or a lot of bust well mostly bust 60% of the time.
  15. nate82
    I think the plan for Chourio is to finish out the season in AA. It was extremely aggressive putting him at AA to start the year. I think he stays there for the whole year and the Brewers will assess if he should be in AA or AAA to start next year. Now Black I could definitely see getting to AAA after the deadline and I wouldn't be surprised if Black is starting the year with the Brewers and skipping AAA completely next year.

    Scott Barlow is probably my #1 target for the Brewers. He has had a really bad July in giving up runs and walks but all of his other underlying stats say he should be pitching better. He would also be under control for 2024 so not a 1-year rental. I think Barlow would solidify the Brewers bullpen giving them another 7th or 8th inning option. I am intrigued with Dylan Carlson but I don't think the Cardinals would trade him within the division. Tommy Pham is another bat I would like to see the Brewers add. I would really like to see the Brewers go '21 Braves and add 2-3 more bats along with a reliever or starter at the deadline. Another name to watch is Laureano though he hasn't hit all that much this year but he has hit lefties ok. It wouldn't cost all that much to get Laureano from the A's probably one or two lottery tickets at most.

    Do you have a source for this because everywhere I look their active total payroll is around $140mm and not $105mm.

    Hiura is probably just going through his normal boom or bust phase like he did last year in Sept/Oct when he got the most PA's the whole year. Hiura's 2022 Sept/Oct splits: 20 games played with 66 PA's .167/.227/.283

    Because he is a DH and they have a cheaper version with Burger who they are trying to fit into the lineup everyday. The problem with the White Sox is that they have a bunch of DH/1B playing the field in Burger, Jimenez, Vaughn and Sheets. At some point you have to get better defensively otherwise all that offense is wasted. They have Burger for two more years under pre arbitration and he doesn't hit arbitration until 2026. If the White Sox can get some pitching and a better defender back in return for Jimenez for '24 it makes sense to trade Jimenez who would bring back a good pitching prospect along with a good positional prospect.

    You won't be able to just salary dump Yelich. You will have to take on a portion of Yelich's contract. Somewhere around 10-15% of his contract depending on the team you are trading him to. Even large market teams are going to require the Brewers to eat some of that contract especially if they are over the cap or will be going over the cap.

    Its because their main target Adames is not available. I am wondering if the Dodgers checked in on Anderson and found the price to be not to their liking.
  22. nate82
    Within the last couple of years they have been focusing more on development and getting players that they can develop. The people doing the drafting have also changed so Johnson and company have only been doing this for the last few years so Hiura wouldn't count towards this.
  23. nate82
    I think the Brewers go after a reliever and one that fits their mold is Barlow from the Royals. While he is not all that great this year he would be an improvement as the 4th or 5th option in the bullpen. He also shouldn't cost all that much to acquire.
  24. nate82
    Right but that has only been recently. The Brewers past track record has not been as good.
  25. nate82
    It is not mostly luck it is all about development. The Brewers haven't even been that great at developing players until recently. The Angels have been far worse at developing the players they have drafted.
