    Lawlar hasn't played in a month on account of a hamstring and only has 84 games | 376 PA going back to last year on account of various injuries. Might be hard to count on him being an everyday guy right out of the gate. Small samples of course, but some shades of Coby Mayo in the early going too... Mayo AAA career 852 PA of 128 wRC+ (24.9 K%) Lawlar AAA career 388 PA of 139 wRC+ (22.9 K%) Mayo MLB career 138 PA of 42 wRC+ (31.9 K%) Lawlar MLB career 56 PA of -23 wRC+ (35.7 K%)

    Yeah, that's why I said Reds version hopefully. From 2017-18 there were 26 players that got at least 500 PA at second base. Among those 26 players Scooter ranked 3rd with a 129 wRC+ and 5th with 6.0 WAR. In a macro sense its the same kind of profile, questionable second base defender whose bat is going to have to carry the profile.

    Chad Patrick won the International League Triple Crown last year. He had a 62 ERA- and 85 FIP- over 136 IP. Carlos Rodriguez was much closer to average with a 96 ERA- | 100 FIP- over his 129 innings in 2024. I'd say one of those guys looked like he was ready for MLB to start the season and the other needed another year in AAA to figure some stuff out.

    Everyone loves comparing current Brewers prospects to former Brewers players so I'll throw out Scooter Gennett (Reds version though hopefully) for an Adamczewski comp.

    Player has to be on the team all year to get a QO so guys traded at the deadline are disqualified.

    It would be pretty out of character for the Brewers to send out 24 years of team control for two rentals. If they were trading a package like that I'd hope it would be for someone with multiple years of team control remaining.

    I'd be pretty surprised if the Brewers landed the premier power bat on the market for three spare pieces. For the Brewers to win that bidding war I'd guess they'll need to include one of their excess SP with long term control and MLB success under their belt already (Henderson, Patrick, Myers, Gasser) plus a second piece better than any of CRod, Black or Cortez.

    The Brewers have won the 2nd most games in MLB since Arnold took over in 2023 at 246 W - 180 L after today. Mediocrity would be more like the Red Sox 213 W - 214 L since 2023, the Giants 212 W - 214 L since 2023, the Reds 211 W - 215 L since 2023, the Cardinals 206 W - 220 L since 2023, etc. Mediocre teams don't get the chance to lose playoff games.

    Ashby's pitched twice (the 19th and 21st) since returning from the paternity list.
  11. sveumrules
    Too bad. Missed a good one.
  12. sveumrules
    Terrible six through nine hitters at 4 for 10 with four RBI, three runs scored, two doubles, an HBP (& a partridge in a pear tree).

    The Pirates aren't trading Skenes. If they did it wouldn't be in division for three mid rotation starters, a back end starter, and two bat only prospects that haven't hit in awhile. Any proposal that doesn't start with both Misio and Made just isn't a serious proposal. Same goes for Jose Ramirez.

    As long as he isn't talking about this Quintana...

    Obviously only four games, but cool to see Jesus come back strong (6 for 13 with two doubles & three walks) after his week long break around the Futures Game.

    Ortiz was originally drafted as a glove first player, the foundation of his profile was always that he had the glove for SS. Once he got a regular MLB chance shortstop was already taken, so he played third base where both DRS and FRV saw him as solidly above average to the tune of +8 runs. It's somewhat rare for the defensive metrics to be in lock step on their evaluation of an infielder though as we've seen this year with DRS pegging Ortiz for -6 runs while FRV says he has been +4 runs afield. That's a swing of a whole win in less than a full season, pretty extreme stuff. In the more frequent cases where the metrics arrive at different conclusions, I like to consider the player's history along with my own amateur eye test assessment. For Ortiz it seems like the -6 DRS from SS this year is the obvious outlier, so I tend to think that FRV is doing a better job of capturing his defensive value as a SS to this point.

    Last two years... Otto 95 wRC+ | +3.4 BsR | +21.0 DEF | 4.7 WAR Ortiz 90 wRC+ | +0.8 BsR | +18.1 DEF | 3.8 WAR So Otto is pretty much Ortiz just with a slightly higher floor? Not sure that's worth dishing out Pratt plus for. Especially when the plus would probably have to be considerably better than the proposed Black, C-Rod, Hudson sweeteners. Also not sure how motivated the Marlins would be to deal Lopez in the first place. They've shown some signs of life over the last couple months going 31 W - 27 L. Might not seem like much, but if the Marlins can hold on for a winning record in July after posting a winning record in June it will be their first time with back to back winning months since they ran off three winning months in a row in 2017 when they still had Yelich, Stanton, Ozuna & Realmuto.

    Brewers would need to go 40 W - 22 L to hit a hundo. Over their last 62 games they’ve gone 41 W - 21 L.

    To the "can Joey Ortiz OPS 700" question from earlier in the thread... His seasonal triple slash was at 170/226/216 through 166 PA on May 21st. Over 165 PA since then (before today) his triple slash was at 260/315/420. He's been OPS-ing over 700 for the last two months. Of course that doesn't guarantee that he will keep OPS-ing over 700 from here on out, but he had an OPS of 726 last year, Steamer projects him for a 694 rest of season, ZiPS projects him for a 677 rest of season. Odds are he hits a lot closer to a 700 OPS rest of season than he does to the 442 OPS he posted to start it.

    Demetrio Nadal homered again and Jorge Quintana went deep too with Cesar Espinal working a 4U3D (1 BB | 1 K) ninth to put the finishing touches on an 11-7 win.
  23. sveumrules
    Zona Crew up 6-2 after a six run fourth inning that went Luis Castillo double, Jorge Quintana single, Frederi Montero RBI single, Jadyn Fielder RBI single, Demetrio Nadal three run bomb, Roderick Flores solo shot. Miqueas Mercedes had a couple 95/96 MPH four seamers early on but has been working mostly 91-94 MPH four seamers and sinkers with an 81-84 MPh slider. He’s at 4 IP | 2 R | 4 H | 2 BB | 1 K with 64 pitches (39 strikes). Some batted ball highlights include a 108 MPH Frederi single, 107 MPH Castillo single, 107 & 105 MPH Handelfry lineouts, and 104 MPH Kevin Garcia lineout.

    Robert Jr. has hit 215/283/364 (80 wRC+) over his last 744 PA. Who is that an upgrade over in our outfield? Perkins is at 236/320/340 (88 wRC+) over 612 PA for his career and doesn't cost $5.75M for the rest of the season, plus a $2M buyout on a $20M option, plus prospects. Rengifo is one of the worst defensive infielders in MLB... 2B (-6 DRS | -10 FRV) SS (-5 DRS | -9 FRV) 3B (-6 DRS | -14 FRV) ...where does he fit in the Brewers run prevention scheme?
  25. sveumrules
    Yeah, Skenes has 254 IP of 47 ERA- | 60 FIP- under his belt already. He's essentially been Mariano Rivera (career 49 ERA- | 62 FIP-) as a starter. Misio is electric no doubt, but he can't even match Skenes results over a sample 1/10th the size with 25 IP of 69 ERA- | 94 FIP- so far. He's been more like say Troy Percival (career 69 ERA- | 85 FIP-) as a starter.
