    He's 26 years old and has 3.5 years of team control left. He's going to be very expensive if the White Sox even entertain trade offers at all. Jarvis/Moore do not realistically move the needle at all. We gave up more for a half season of Carlos Santana! WAR is also a broken metric for DH-forward sluggers. The presumed baseline for a replacement level DH has become extremely unrealistic, as evidenced by the Brewers' own struggles at 1B/DH this season.

    How in the world does that trade value website say Eloy Jimenez has negative value? He's been inconsistent and injury prone, but he's young, controllable, and has proven middle-of-the-order 140 wRC+ upside. He's not going to be cheap. I'd start by offering Mitchell plus some and would be happy to make that trade, because we need to try to win now.

    As with many moves: solid upgrade in a vacuum, but will be disappointing if this is all they do.

    Tommy Pham would be my #1 target. I wanted them to sign him as a free agent and he's looking even better now. Everybody slept on him because he was injured for a few years but he's back to being great.
  5. SRB
    We'll be seeing him about as many times as we see Mark Appel 😈
  6. SRB
    Could it be? We actually have a wave of positional prospects who are going to be successful in the major leagues?!

    Buhner was a good prospect, no question about it. But my baseball people love Ken Phelps' bat. They kept saying "Ken Phelps. Ken Phelps."

    I don't get the controversy to be honest. They're both top prospects, they'll both be up sooner rather than later. It's not like Frelick is getting kept down in favor of some 33-year-old AAAA journeyman.

    I've seen some dissenting opinions on here, but I love Dillard in the booth. I hope he's an internal candidate for the full-time job whenever one opens.

    The Phillies made it to (but lost) the World Series last season with an entire roster of 1B/DH's, so building a an entire roster of 2B's is what Miami needs to put them over the edge.

    Anderson has great upside and a high floor at two positions of relative need (3B/RF), which is why he was one of my dream targets this off-season. Great signing by the Brewers at just $3.5 million guaranteed! I never understand people who are disappointed by any signing that is not a guaranteed All Star. Between 2018-2020, Anderson was a 3-3.5 fWAR player per 162 games played. If he had not struggled with injuries the last couple years and was otherwise a free agent at 29 years old, he easily would have been looking at a $70+ million contract this season. A team like the Brewers has to bank on upside picks. Also weird to criticize this move on the assumption that this bumps Urias to 2B and Turang to a utility role to start. Yeah, Anderson is a question mark, but you have to be extremely optimistic to pencil in Turang for better offensive production straight out of the gate as a rookie than Anderson put up even during his down years. I don't see how the Brewers are not a significantly better team now.

    You can never have too much starting pitching. Why would they trade someone? This might mean they want Ashby to serve as their go-to lefty out of the pen though, maybe in a vintage Hader multi-inning fireman role. Miley has been very good the last couple years when healthy, and he gives the rotation some variety with a very different pitching style to the top 3. A nice signing!

    Had zero interest in Drury, especially not at that price. Bullet dodged.
  14. SRB
    The Yelich extension was considered team friendly at the time ?
  15. SRB
    I remember many instances of Urias seeming like the most clutch hitter on the team. In his career he has a 96 wRC+ with the bases empty, a 109 wRC+ with men on base, and a 105 wRC+ with RISP

    Only thing I know about Miller (so far) is that he had a superhuman start to the 2022 season. I think he was hitting like .450 for the first couple weeks. So he was near the top of the free agent board in my fantasy points league, even though his points didn't continue to go up very much across the entire remainder of the season. ?

    Career UZR/150 at 3B and Fangraphs projected offense for 2023: Luis Urias: +0.3 UZR/150, .326 wOBA, 110 wRC+ Justin Turner: -0.6 UZR/150 (trending down), .330 wOBA, 115 wRC+ Brandon Drury: -2.5 UZR/150, .317 wOBA, 105 wRC+ Brian Anderson: +0.3 UZR/150, .305 wOBA, 97 wRC+ I'm not against adding a guy and moving Urias to a super utility role, but I think people are greatly undervaluing Urias, who is quite good and has shown signs of being even better.
  18. SRB
    Using Fangraphs crowdsource predictions for each player's deal, I'd much rather bring back Jean Segura at $24M/2 to play 2B and keep Urias at 3B than sign Turner or Drury.
  19. SRB
    In 2021 he had a .328 OBP in AA, so I think it is quite optimistic to think he will be an on-base machine in the major leagues. I hope he tears it up though, why not. I will say that he would be a much more interesting prospect to me if he were an elite defender, which by all accounts he is not despite the speed.

    The trade suggests that Contreras is more or less valued correctly, because the Braves got a massive return here (Sean Murphy). It's just that a big part of an otherwise even trade was diverted to Milwaukee for some reason ?
  21. SRB
    Contreras, Winker, and Caratini are already an excellent mix of players to fill C/DH Career splits: Contreras, +108 vs RHP, +158 vs LHP Winker, +136 vs RHP, +87 vs LHP Caratini, +83 vs RHP, +82 vs LHP Winker hits at DH against all RHP, Contreras catches against RHP and DHs against LHP, Caratini catches against LHP and whenever needed to give Contreras a breather
  22. SRB
    My recollection is that Ruiz's value skyrocketed based on his performance in 2022. It's possible all of the prospect evaluators were factoring in outdated information, and that his skills genuinely turned a corner. Whatever, even if he was a consensus top 100 prospect outfielder, I would love this trade given our needs and the other top prospect outfielders we still have.
  23. SRB
    As someone pointed out, the Braves had to throw in their #1 and #6 prospects plus. Yeah if we had been willing to give up that much more we could have gotten him. I personally prefer Contreras, who has much more team control and is less proven but has All Star upside. (Literally already was an All Star lol)
  24. SRB
    This is unbelievable lmao!
  25. SRB
    I agree more will be involved, but it's also possible that scouts value Ruiz way higher than internet projection systems, and that Stearns did not just "give away" Hader after all
