The problem with Gwynn Jr., at least when he got to the majors, was that he had no power or hit tool. He was good at drawing walks and that was it. Even if Turang never develops any power, he could still be a very good player as a plus defender with decent OBP skills like early-career Elvis Andrus.

Miley looks like he should be trapping beavers in Wisconsin in the 1840s
-
[sarcasm]I think this means we are legally entitled to trade him for Altuve[/sarcasm]

$3.5 million per Cots, with a $250,000 buyout and either $250,000 or $125,000 in incentives depending on whether he's used as a starter (15+GS) or reliever (40+ G)

Do you think Wade Miley was never a good pitcher? Miley has had substantial success in the past so taking a chance on tweaking something to get him back to respectable isn't a stretch... Chances are much less that Lyles has anything they can "tweak" as he is pretty bad as a starter and he's been replacement level as a RP... Lyles has had long stretches as a league average SP, and that's after being rushed to the majors in his early 20s and having to pitch in Houston and Colorado. That constitutes a "good" pitcher in my book, especially considering he's only going to be ask to be a long reliever or #5 starter who can eat some innings.

Schoop was the MLB Player of the Week as recently as LAST WEEK. You guys are a tough crowd.
-
Here's a FanGraphs article about Lyles working in some new pitches this season: https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/jordan-lyles-found-something-hes-never-had/
-
Yeah, the revocable/irrevocable distinction just means that on revocable waivers you can pull the guy back. It still goes team-by-team starting with the worst record.

ZiPS RoS: Lyles, 4.42 FIP Ross, 4.73 FIP Wilkerson, 4.89 FIP post-injury Ross is not very good, and didn't fall to us anyways
-
He's only 27, has a cheap $3.5M option for 2019, and brings some flexibility as a Suter replacement. 3.91 xFIP as a starter this season: 47.0 IP, 7.7 K/9, 2.1 BB/9

Brewers sign Matt Albers - 2 year deal
SRB replied to KeithStone53151's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
His resume isn't that impressive. He had a brutal -0.9 fWAR season as recently as 2016. I don't think we can afford to keep Albers on a team that is both contending and relying heavily on its bullpen. -
He's only 18. Who knows how much power he's going to have. OBP skills is something you don't grow into.
-
He's been terrible against LHP this season, but in his career Shaw actually has better numbers vs. LHP than Schoop or Moustakas (still a dramatic platoon split of course)
-
One of the benefits of having Schoop is that we hopefully will only ever see Perez against LHP, when I'm not unhappy to see him
-
And Perez! Who is actually a decent hitter vs. LHP
-
And here come Shaw! Love having a deep lineup finally.
-
I feel like when scouts throw out comps they are usually thinking of "Stephen Drew the prospect" Drew was a top-5 prospect in all of baseball and was considered a five-tool player, although I do see that he stole very few bases in the minors for whatever reason
-
15.8 BB% and 20.0 BB% so far The Turangutan!

Now thoughts on the waiver trade deadline
SRB replied to brewmann04's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Bryce Harper cleared waivers last year. Elite players can and do clear revocable waivers in August. They clear for a number of reasons. Sometimes they'll clear because yes, the team cannot afford the contract and they know that they'll simply be pulled back anyway. I'd go as far as to say Scherzer probably clears, just as Verlander did last year. I think people misunderstand how different revocable waivers are from regular waivers and would be shocked at how many players clear. The sheer number of players placed on waivers in August is an enormous list and claims are usually strategic -- either to block a rival contender from a player they might want or from a genuine desire to try to acquire a player. They're not even supposed to leak the names that do and yet we hear about many high profile names yearly. Players like Harper clear waivers every year because they are only on waivers as a formality. You can't sneak a trade for a player like Scherzer through that way, not least because if you are shopping Scherzer you're going to let teams know and not just work out a sweetheart deal with a secret bidder. Verlander cleared because he was still owed a lot of money and was looking fairly mediocre in Detroit. He only reasserted himself as an ace pitcher after the trade. -
Schoop started at SS tonight and will likely be our everyday 2B next season. Major differences from Dozier. As a hitter, the worst case Schoop is basically just Jonathan Villar, but the key difference is that the organization clearly does not think Villar can play innings at SS anymore. That versatility is why they were swapped, along with Schoop having much higher upside based on his 2017 and 2018 July.
-
Wow, settle down with the Schoop hate. Do you recall who was playing SS for us the first 2/3 of the season? GO THAMES!

That Was The Coolest Trade Deadline I've Ever Seen
SRB replied to splitterpfj's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I was slightly underwhelmed by the deadline experience this year. The Soria move I liked, but then I was too confused by the Moustakas and (even more so) Schoop moves to fully enjoy them like I would for a normal Brewers addition. I guess there was so much build up to the Brewers making a major move for a SP or another missing piece that when we finally did land a couple players it was a bit of a letdown. -
Now thoughts on the waiver trade deadline
SRB replied to brewmann04's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
The best pitcher in the world (Scherzer) is not making it through waivers no matter how much he's owed. I don't think there are any waiver guys that could really help the Brewers, sadly. Maybe Sonny Gray, though I doubt he would make it to us. -
He gives up way too many flyballs at this point in his career, some of which inevitably leave the ballpark. I'd pass on Kelley though I do think we need to upgrade Albers, who is cooked.
