    BABIP isn't a stat you can simply "stop" and use. If I were playing in the MLB, my BABIP would also be low, but I can assure you that it wouldn't be because of "luck". 😉 If his BABIP is low, you need to go look at his hit stats (line drive %, launch angle, exit velocity, etc..). If all he is doing is hitting weak ground balls, a low BABIP isn't luck. Huira in LAA this year: average EV: 82.2 (90.1 career) Launch Angle: 6.3 (15.5 career) Barrel: 0% (13.6 career) Hard Hit %: 23.5% (43.6% career) Ground Ball 64.7% (39.5% career) Yeah, his BABIP is earned, not luck.

    I would assume this is more of an approach to not recreate everyone into the latest hot trend in hitting. The major part of getting someone to change is to convince them this change is what they want. I'm sure the players get plenty of feedback, a variety of options and ways to improve, and let the hitter play with the options...

    Well, that is still in the top 25% of the Big10 these days, right?

    Seems like a candidate to move to an RP role instead of struggling as an SP?

    I'm hoping for a lot of "steals"! I'm rooting for all of them to play well and make the decision a difficult one! 😉

    Hi, I'm Larry, this is my brother Darryl...this is my other brother Darryl. Classic

    Does that really matter to people when trading for him? Oh, this guy was great 8 years ago... Milner has been very good for 2 years (and terrible before that), so it isn't like he is a "flash in the pan". If someone is going to trade for Milner, it will because they think he can produce something more like the last two year instead of what he is doing now. The comp with Chafin is simply that they are both 33 year old LH RPs (Chafin at the time the Brewers traded for him) that are/were having down years. Not saying there is a huge market for Milner, but it can happen. He is left-handed for pete's sake!!!!

    Don't knock the 80s man! I think these colors remind me more of the late 60s/early 70s with the pastels and psychedelic patters. I miss the days when we mocked the 70s and left the 80s alone. 😂
  9. CheezWizHed
    Andrew Chafin had similar numbers last year at the time we traded for him as Milner has this year. Not saying people will be falling over themselves to get Milner from us. Just saying it is possible. Being left-handed gets him more opportunities.

    Can you explain what you mean by this? I didn't see anything this summer, but what I recall of AJax playing last year was that he was constantly active...but not necessarily out of control active. Any examples of being a "spaz?"
  11. CheezWizHed
    And no worries... you have much better credibility than others in the past that "heard something". I just couldn't resist a laugh. 😉

    Oh great... HighHeat hacked Zarr's password! 😂

    It's a cm. Really smaller than most people think!

    Time to start playing "jump around" at Brewer games?
  15. CheezWizHed
    Three different pitches at 94 MPH or three pitches ever hit 94?
  16. CheezWizHed
    Exactly. Just because the 75% slot with a physical rule is new to us, doesn't mean it is surprising the Brewers. I'm quite sure they know how much he will sign for.

    Wasn't the HS pool supposed to be pretty shallow this year?

    And it felt like a worse disparity as a Brewer fan through those years. Nelson didn't require his own pillow either. But just when he looks like he was going to turn the corner on being a TOR starter... boom, he is injured. This was the injury that made me reconsider being a "baseball purist" and started hoping for the DH in the NL too.
  19. CheezWizHed
    Nelson: 5.6 Career bWAR (1.5 /yr) Suppan: 15.7 Career bWAR (1.2/yr) 😢

    No Way! It is impossible for pre-draft rankings (made by scouts not employed by MLB teams) to be wrong! I think people are too used to the NFL draft where it is much easier to predict how players a player's impact at the next level (not perfect, just easier). The MLB draft is so much harder since you need to account for 3-4+ years of development of a player before they hit the MLB level. There are far more misses in the 1st round of the MLB draft than NFL. And far more valuable players found late in the MLB than NFL. Especially when you consider there is a 26 man roster for MLB and a 53 man roster in the NFL; you basically get 2x the opportunity in the NFL.

    Milner has been getting hit pretty hard this year and might be time to go. I doubt the 33-year-old has trade value except he is left-handed... But he seems to be regressing back to his pre-2022 days. Payamps and Peguero: might be time to shop one of these guys too. Peguero frustrates me. For a guy that has so much speed and movement on his FB, he throws most of them 3 inches below the zone. Payamps should have some trade value but isn't unreplaceable. Having a down year this year, but I would guess he returns to his norms. Still, he is replaceable.

    I don't recall anyone saying they were a top-flight, top-tier organization. Just that they are a good drafting organization - regularly a top 10 system while drafting in the second half of each round. Much still remains for holding onto their top talent which leaves them scrambling and fighting to succeed with less. But that is a different argument for a different thread. Beyond reproach? No. But the lengths at which you go do not understand the approach they take or compare to other teams' success rate is also not beyond reproach.
  23. CheezWizHed
    I'm going to guess he wasn't #60 on the Brewer's board. The Brewers have a pretty good drafting history and have one of the top-rated system as a result. It's your choice to get all worked up and complain, but you won't really know if they did it right for a year or two. Many people were complaining similarly last year, but here we are a year later and we have 3 players looking to break into AAA this year and one other that broke into the top 100 MLB prospects. Sometimes you just need to trust the process.
  24. CheezWizHed
    I predicted that. 😂
  25. CheezWizHed
    Wow! I can't believe it! (predictive)
