    The Brewers literally had the 2nd highest OPS with RISP last year
  2. MVP2110
    Out of curiosity can you explain why we have two threads on the same topic? On other forums something like that happens they either merge the threads or lock one up so there is a centralized location for discussion, having two separate threads makes the conversation harder to follow

    I think it's more likely he gets non tendered next offseason then it is that we bring him back. He rates very similarly to Chris Carter who was non tendered by this same front office at the same point Rowdy will be at next year. Rowdy last year had a wRC+ of 110 which was 16th among 1b, he was also the Brewers worst defender by dwar. It's possible Rowdy tears it up next year or that he significantly improves his defense but without either of those occurring I can't imagine the Brewers will be in a rush to lock up an average bat at 1b who provides negative defense.

    I'm just explaining the system, I'm not pro players or pro owners.
  5. MVP2110
    This was never about helping the team unfortunately, this is about helping all 30 clubs keep players salaries lower(and Burnes and his agent trying to raise player salaries). That's the system we have and it's unfortunate
  6. MVP2110
    In a vacuum of course, if Burnes had asked for 20 million he'd be worth it but that's not the system we have and it's not changing. This is a system problem, not a Brewer problem
  7. MVP2110
    Without knowing the context of negotiations that's a hard question to answer. As explained in the other thread this isn't just Burnes vs the Brewers, it's basically every player vs all 30 MLB clubs. When teams submit their proposals they first have to send them to all 29 other MLB teams before they send it to the player and there is immense pressure not to be the team who sets a new precedent because they precedent ends up costing all 30 clubs millions of dollars in the long run(think compounding interest). All 30 MLB Front Offices work together essentially to keep players salaries down league wide and every player and agent works to raise salaries league wide. It is essentially legal collusion and it was a system initially proposed by the players

    The Braves have taken Dansby Swanson & Max Fried each to arb twice in the last couple years. They are certainly not afraid to take their best players to arbitration
  9. MVP2110
    Arbitration almost always leads to hurt feelings, this is nothing new and it certainly isn't a Brewers specific problem
  10. MVP2110
    Yes they do, the Braves just did this same thing with Max Fried over 200k
  11. MVP2110
    Someone clearly hasn't read the other thread, it's been explained numerous times how this isn't just over 750k Ps. Why do we have two separate threads on the same topic?
  12. MVP2110
    I would love to lock Urias down, I think his floor is being a high end super utility player and for the last 2 years he's been an above average starter. Extending him seems fairly low risk and wouldn't require breaking the bank.
  13. MVP2110
    Projections aren't meant to be exact. They provide a bell curve to show the variation of each team as well which more accurately shows each team's probabilities.
  14. MVP2110
    Worth noting that PECOTA projections came out this morning and they have the Brewers as a slight favorite over St. Louis in the NL Central. (87.6 for MIL, 87.5 for STL) and they put the Brewers overall chance of making the playoffs at 64%. That seems to track for what I'd expect. I think a bottom level of a successful season would be making it past the Wildcard Round and atleast holding their own in the NLDS even if they eventually lose.
  15. MVP2110
    What's interesting is the Brewers took a minority ownership stake when they signed their new deal in 2021 https://www.bizjournals.com/milwaukee/news/2021/05/07/brewers-take-minority-ownership-stake-bally-sports.html
  16. MVP2110
    Long term it is probably good. Short term I think this could drastically hurt the Brewers payroll as well as the Bucks for fans who care about them. Losing out on this money is a big deal for these teams
  17. MVP2110
    This could effect the Brewers and other similar clubs as a big part of the money they make comes from their TV contract. If they don't get paid this could effect their payroll https://cordcuttersnews.com/bally-sports-rsns-are-reportedly-preparing-for-bankruptcy/
  18. MVP2110
    Yea it wouldn't be much, I think Theo was had for the other Chris Carpenter
  19. MVP2110
    I am far from the type who dislikes every signing. I quite liked the Wade Miley signing, but this one just isn't it for me. If it was just to give him a chance to compete that'd be one thing, but to guarantee him at minimum 1-2 months worth of at bats just doesn't seem smart to me. He flat-out hasn't been good the last two seasons. MLB History is littered with players who popped up for a couple years then faded away to being bad players(ex. Travis Shaw). Maybe he turns into 2018-2020 Brian Anderson, or maybe he's just not that guy anymore, and I don't understand why we needed to give him a guaranteed contract to find out.
  20. MVP2110
    I guess I just don't understand guaranteeing a job to someone whose OPS+ the last two seasons has been under 100. If we assume the Brewers want to keep Turang down for service time reasons I'd still rather roll with an open competition for that 4th IF spot over just giving it to Anderson
  21. MVP2110
    I don't love giving Anderson 3.5 guarenteed. Seems like he'll have a guarenteed roster spot and PT with that deal where as I was hoping he'd have to earn it.
  22. MVP2110
    From 2018-2020 Brian Anderson was good. The last two years not so much 2021 he has an OPS+ of 94, and last year it was even worse at 87. This would be like when they handed 3b to Travis Shaw a couple years ago
  23. MVP2110
    Only had an OPS+ of 87 last season, not exactly inspiring, hopefully just a bench bat or NRI I can't wait to hear Brian Anderson call Brian Anderson games though
  24. MVP2110
    I'd take a flier on him. Nothing special but looks like a guy you can plug in against lefties. Sort of like a Brosseau for the Outfield
  25. MVP2110
    I do think BTV is probably high on the value Tatis has. He has raised some serious question marks. Not that I think he has negative value or anything like that or that this will happen. But I could certainly see them selling low on him compared to this
