I was going to write something similar. I was thinking .265, good obp, 40 steals and an ops of .720. With his defense, that’s a plus player. All these young players need time to develop. It’s going to be difficult to thread the needle and stay competitive while we develop young talent this year and next. If we can pull that off, it will be a great achievement for Arnold, Murphy, Tod Johnson and the whole organization.
To me the biggest unknown is our long term pitching. But if you look at Peralta, Burnes, etc., they took their lumps as they adjusted to MLB. You’d have to think that’s what we might expect with Hall, Gasser, Mis et al.
Right now the strength of the Brewers is the infrastructure of the organization. All the player development, scouting, drafting, the new building in the Dominican, the contacts we have in Venezuela, etc. That’s what’s exciting if Attanasio can keep that rolling.
