    Part of this of course is they put a higher value on defense which is why they have been willing to part with some guys who could hit. If they view Adams & Fischer as only 1b, they are even less likely to make a move when they want spots for Vaughn, bauers, and yelich

    having all 5 players outhit the other 9 suggests a coaching concern to me, especially with one going from a 50 to a 140
  3. cragi
    im concerned that the 5 mediocre guys we dropped are out-hitting the 9 better ones we kept. not suggesting they are better, but the lineup as a whole I would expect better from
  4. cragi
    again, not suggesting we would be better off with these guys, im concerned with the performance of guys here who should be doing better. the most glaring being the jump for Rengifro
  5. cragi
    im not at all second guessing trading those guys for pitching. Its just that we had better batters making them expendable, but i feel the current lineup is underperforming
  6. cragi
    As much as I want Adams and the other young stars to get the opportunity, it seems they prefer covering these injuries with stopgaps and are very hesitant to bring a position player from AAA to the parent club unless they are on the 40-man
  7. cragi
    Point is just that all 5 marginal guys we dealt or let go of are outperforming the majority of the roster this year, and that is concerning

    Luis Rengifro (SDP) 140 Monastario 119 Caleb Durbin 106 Isaac Collins 102 Anthony Siegler 102 Cooper Pratt 100 William Contreras 98 Brandon Lockridge 92 Christian Yelich 89 Luis Lara 88 Joey Ortiz 83 David Hamilton 80 Sal Frelick 75 Luis Rengifro (MKE) 50 OPS+ Comparison.. kind of highlights our continued offensive underperformance imo

    Lara trying to endear himself to Pancakes by crashing in the wall twice and tallying an 0-4
  13. cragi
    never in doubt

    kind of crazy for Ortiz, Pratt and Williams to go down at the same time
  15. cragi
    come to think of it, I wonder who is the backup at 2B with Ortiz out. that is likely the deciding factor here.
  16. cragi
    perspective. AB/HR Fischer (age 22) 11.9 Burke (23) 12.5 Payne (19) 12.6 Adams (22) 15.3

    Cubs lose. I guess their coronation is delayed another day.
  18. cragi
    Defense aside, I think its much more realistic for a Luke Adams to play. He is putting up an .879 OPS at 3B in AAA right now .. or maybe Jett Williams for defense
  19. cragi
    You're talking one guy in a small sample breaking even with his AAA stats. Historically, its more likely to be from ~.825 to ~.650 when bumping up 2 levels. Brewers already view Ortiz and Hamilton as speedy players with great defense and young with upside, and their numbers are already in line with that and have a level of trusted experience and proven defense. If the brewers were concerned, they could have easily moved prospects to get a bat with more pop for reasonably low prospect capital. Its debatable whether at his current age and level that Made would outperform either of those 2, thus giving him little or no value to the club right now. .. But more to the point, Brewers built a contender very meticulously over many years despite the obvious limitations by being incredibly shrewd with money and talent. Made as the #1 prospect has a surplus value of ~$95 million, meaning at current expectations, he will add $95M value/savings. Most of that value comes towards the end as he gets close to prime years, say $18M and $22M for argument sake over those last 2 years. So, the brewers could have swapped Hamilton or Ortiz and a prospect for an upgrade and taken a $5M value hit (which many fans thought was the right play) or they can risk 2 years of $40M value for an unlikely upgrade. Thats not how this org is run, nor can it be run that way if they hope to remain contenders.

    Made is #1 based on potential, not current performance. Say his .824 OPS in AA translates to .650 in the majors. Doesnt help this team at all. Worse, it takes away a year and possibly 2 with the lockout from a player whose prime years are likely to be incredibly valuable.

    I didnt watch last night but box score says Lara got on base 3 times and he's the problem?
  22. cragi
    too early to be panicking about the Cubs. they have a recent history of streakiness and underperforming expectations. Good lineup but still some considerable pitching questions despite burning the farm to fix it.
  23. cragi
    Its not simply a matter of pitching but of defense AND defensive preparedness. His lists had Dustin May in the bad pitching category but its really more a matter of defense. Part of why the brewers strategy is less effective in the postseason is, especially veteran teams having more time and more experienced defense to handle the type of pressure the Brewers bring on the basepaths. I do think the Brewers are backing off a bit in that regard this year.
  24. cragi
    Brewers now have the top run differential in. baseball to compliment the best record
  25. cragi
    thats a very welcome problem if so. gonna need this guy for any chance
