    I agree, that’s why I posted it in the Optimism Thread.

    Hoskins has a 128 wRC+. Sure his 0.3 WAR is held back by being a slow DH/1B, but the Brewers are getting what they paid for in the box and I’d imagine they’d gladly pay him $18M next year if he finishes the year out healthy and hitting like he has. Miley is a sunk cost this year, yes, but in 2018/23 they got 5.5 rWAR for a total of $7M so I think they still came out pretty far ahead in the aggregate. Sanchez has been underwhelming as. DH, but in his 49 PA as a backup catcher he has a 142 wRC+ and he’s also posted a 167 wRC+ in his nine pinch hit PAs. He’s being paid like a bench player and has performed in that capacity. Wong turned in 4.9 fWAR | 6.4 bWAR for $18M before being dealt, that was an excellent value signing. Lorenzo pretty much earned his whole contract in 2018, but even with the down years at the end came in at 8.5 fWAR | 13.8 bWAR for $64 million after opting out in 2020 so that deal was still even money at worst.

    Yeah, thought they’d go with Rob Zastryzny first if they called up somebody that needed to be added to the 40 man since he has the shinier stats…2.45 ERA | 2.69 FIP | 35.7 K%. Looks like Rob has only gone more than 1.0 IP in 3 of his 23 appearances so far this year so maybe Meeker got the nod due to being more capable of soaking up multiple innings. Always thought James had it in him though. Found this note in a minor league game thread after seeing him at Wisco in August 2022… Meeker: doesn’t have that plus plus stuff on the mound, but he just competes and gets outs in tough spots. Don’t think he’ll ever be a high leverage MLB guy, but do believe he will keep moving up & get to the show in the next couple years which would be a major success in & of itself for an Indy ball sign.

    After eight scoreless innings from Tobias Myers last night the Brewers rotation has a 3.99 ERA this year. League average ERA for a starting pitcher is 4.01 this year.

    Fedde is 23rd in IP (74.1), 34th in ERA- (83), 26th in FIP- (85), 25th in rWAR (1.8) and 21st in fWAR (1.6) so far this year. Freddy is 54th in IP (67.1), 51st in ERA- (93), 27th in FIP- (86), 38th in rWAR (1.4) and 29th in fWAR (1.4) so far this year. At least then we’d have two “bottom of the rotation” guys instead of only one.

    Guess I just don’t see the Marlins or White Sox being too intrigued by any package for Luzardo, Crochet or Robert that doesn’t start with two of Misio, Quero and Black. Neither team looks to be competitive anytime soon so not sure they’d have much interest in guys like Frelick, Uribe, Mitchell, Wiemer or Dunn who’s service time is already ticking.

    Just an ugly Wisco box. I guess Luke Adams was 1 for 2 with a 2B, BB and HBP. Jesus Chrinos hit his 4th bomb of the year accounting for the only run. Aaron Rund went 3 IP | 1 ER | 4 H | 1 BB | 4 K out of the pen.
  8. sveumrules
    Yeah. Was also at a 129 wRC+ with 10 SB / 1 CS and a 15.4 BB% at the time of publication, all while being over a year and a half younger than the average player in the Carolina League. I mean, sure I’d love it if he hit for a little more power over his first couple months off the complex, but hard for me to see how his performance has been “mediocre”.
  9. sveumrules
    Ten…or the same number Old Hoss Radbourn had after the first two weeks of the 1884 season.
  10. sveumrules
    Taylor Clarke added three more scoreless frames to his ledger before surrendering a solo shot in the fourth. Guessing he’ll come back out for the fifth with 70 pitches so far.
  11. sveumrules
    Mudcats have added three more runs here top of five on a Reidy Mercado bunt single (wild pitch), Filippo Di Turi walk (Mercado steal), Yophery Rodriguez triple, Cooper Pratt single sequence.
  12. sveumrules
    There are 122 players with at least 250 PAs in the outfield since the start of last year. Despite only ranking 98th with 358 PAs and 89th with a 90 wRC+, Perkins 2.0 WAR comes in at 53rd making his production comfortably starter level. His +15 DRS / +13 OAA each rank 7th among OF over that stretch.
  13. sveumrules
    Believe Clarke’s been getting stretched out to start, nine scoreless over his last three outings (two starts) and on the hill again starting tonight. Guessing they are saving him for future rotation reinforcements at some point.
  14. sveumrules
    Carolina has jumped out to a 3-1 lead through three. A trio of singles from Filippo Di Turi, Cooper Pratt and Daniel Guilarte plated a run top of one. Other two runs came top of three on solo shots from Reidy Mercado and Pratt. Josh Knoth surrendered a run bottom of one on three singles but has settled in to put up a pair of scoreless frames since.
  15. sveumrules
    Obviously super early, but Luis Pena acquitting himself well so far for DSL Brewers One. Went 2 for 4 today with 3 steals to run his season total to 6 stolen bags in only three games. Linbel Jimenez (19yo RHP listed at 6'5" and 198 lbs) also had a nice outing stranding a pair of inherited runners in the first inning and finishing up with 3.1 IP | 1 UER | 0 H | 1 BB | 2 K.

    Among 596 pitchers with at least 200 IP in the minor leagues from 2021 to 2024, Meeker has some interesting ranks... 2.71 ERA (4th) | 39.7 Oppo% (5th highest) | 37.7 Pull% (5th lowest) | 1.13 WHIP (18th) | 6.5 HR/FB% (19th) | 3.52 FIP (21st) | 5.8 BB% (31st) | 0.62 HR9 (46th)

    Way to go James Meeker. From Indy Ball to the Big Leagues.
  18. sveumrules
    I don't think that would be enough to win the bidding. Those guys are essentially just organizational depth pieces without a whole lot of upside. My best guess at a Fedde headliner would be one of Mike Boeve or Luis Lara.
  19. sveumrules
    Anyone remember what game it was that he sprained his finger or whatever it was? Just glancing at his game logs he was still at 359/434/553 (180 wRC+) over 196 PA through May 15th. Over his last 84 PA since then he is at 215/262/329 for a not so nice 69 wRC+.
  20. sveumrules
    Doesn’t look like Murray mentioned that Crochet’s current 69.2 IP represent a career high. His highest IP total before this was 65.0 as a junior at Tennessee in 2019. I’d let another team pay a steep prospect price to try and figure out how to get him to the postseason this year without blowing out his arm for the rest of his team control years.

    Interesting stuff. As long as Burnes stays healthy and posts good run prevention numbers for a playoff team it will be hard to consider his walk year anything but a success. As it stands now he’s well positioned for a Top 5 finish in AL CYA voting. Will be curious though to see how something like his K rate declining from a 153 K%+ in 2021 down to a 122 K%+ in 2022 then down to a 115 K%+ last year and now down to a 107 K%+ this year will impact the largesse of his pending FA deal. Boras will be shooting for Cole money (9/324), or Strasburg (9/245) at minimum, but could see teams thinking more in line with Aaron Nola (7/172) if they view Burnes as increasingly being more reliant on contact management than being an elite strikeout guy.

    Hayden Robinson struck out the first batter of the 9th before giving up a double and being relieved by Dencer Geraldo who got a fly out and ground out to secure the 9-1 victory for AZ Crew.
  23. sveumrules
    Speaking of perfect innings, looks like Bo Bowman went three up three down three strikeouts for Biloxi tonight. Craig Yoho struck out four to go along with two walks and a single that scored the Manfred Man over 1.2 IP. Justin Yeager recorded all four of his outs via K working around a triple that scored the Manfred Man.

    Zona Crew has added four more runs and now lead the mighty Dodgers 9-1 through seven. Adamczewski (have fun typing that one on the regular link reporters) added a second double to his ledger. Bitonti is 2 for 3 with two walks and a stolen bag so far. Old friend Felix Valerio 1 for 2 with a double, two walks and a HBP Gery Holguin 1 for 2 with a double, sac fly, HBP and four RBI. Hayden Robinson has struck out four through two perfect relief frames.

    There are currently seven teams scoring 4.80 R/G or greater, here is how their run scoring has varied using the splits available on BRef... Baltimore (5.10 R/G) 0-2: 13 (21.7%) 3-5: 22 (36.7%) 6+: 25 (41.7%) Cleveland (5.10 R/G) 0-2: 12 (20.0%) 3-5: 22 (36.7%) 6+: 26 (43.3%) Philadelphia (5.08 R/G) 0-2: 13 (20.6%) 3-5: 29 (46.0%) 6+: 21 (33.3%) New York Yanks (4.97 R/G) 0-2: 16 (25.4%) 3-5: 23 (36.5%) 6+: 24 (38.1%) Milwaukee (4.94 R/G) 0-2: 14 (22.6%) 3-5: 23 (37.1%) 6+: 35 (40.3%) Kansas City (4.87 R/G) 0-2: 16 (25.8%) 3-5: 24 (37.1%) 6+: 22 (35.5%) LA Dodgers (4.81 R/G) 0-2: 14 (22.2%) 3-5: 26 (41.3%) 6+: 23 (36.5%) Even among top offenses, the Phillies 46.0% of games scoring 3-5 runs is far and away ahead of second place (Dodgers at 41.3%). The other five top run scoring offenses are grouped together between 36.5% and 38.7% for 3-5 run games, so the Phillies are an outlier unto themselves (4.7% gap) then the Dodgers (2.6% gap) then everyone else. The Padres have been the most average-est offense by run scoring matching league average at 4.32 R/G, and their distribution actually exhibits the feast or famine dumbbell shape you are referring to... San Diego (4.32 R/G) 0-2: 25 (38.4%) 3-5: 16 (24.6%) 6+: 24 (36.9%)
