Counsell benching top prospect rookies against lefties for second lefty. Loser manager making loser decisions.

It's wild that Wiemer and Mitchell look so good so quick. If all 3 truly pan out(including Frelick), I don't think there's a scenario where one doesn't get traded for value...especially with Chourio coming. I mean, what do you think Michael Harris from the Braves would net in a trade right now? That's probably the closest comparable if Mitchell or Wiemer have an 800+ OPS in May/June. We could rotate one out for pitching or a true 1b/DH slugger. All that said, we're 5 games in. It's fun to talk about the what if all 3 pan out...but it's still early and I'm sure the league will test these guys at some point. One thing I noticed right away from Wiemer is he seems very susceptible to inside pitches. He covers the outside of the plate very well, better than he should honestly. He's making mediocre or better contact on sliders off the plate, which is really better than a slugger should be doing. I feel like once teams pick up on this, he'll start getting pounded inside and it'll be jam-city. We'll see on that.

New Pay Scales as MiLB Union Secures Deal
KeithStone53151 replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
It's far more than that with additional payroll taxes and potential benefits, but I'm certainly not going to disagree that it's a huge step in the right direction. I personally don't think minor leaguers need like 70k a year or anything considering all else that teams provide, but you don't want your guys needing to tend bar on the side to make ends meat. The whole purpose of the system is training and developing. If you're a guy needing to put 20-30 hours a week into a side job, you're losing to everyone else in the minors who's putting those 20-30 hours into the weight room or fielding work or the pitching lab. -
Normally I'm against 99+% of ejections, but it's really hard to care in this particular case...
-
The Mets roster is constructed very nicely for platoons. It's nice when you can spend a gazillion dollars on payroll. This is a very difficult matchup for Miley on paper and I kinda hope to get like 4 innings of 2 run ball out of him. Baseball isn't played on paper though so we can certainly hope Miley is real sharp and can hang with Scherzer for a bit...or maybe the offense gets so hot that even Scherzer gets hit around a bit.
-
Oh man, if we don't win 10-0 the IGT are unbearable. You'd think it's a bunch of crotchety 60+ year old men complaining about everything and telling kids to get off their lawn. Apparently there's so much talent in there, they can find a way to be negative in a 10-0 win.
-
Lineups like this make it so clear to me that counsell is a loser manager. Apparently all our top prospects are merely platoon bats. Don't even give them a chance to face same handed pitching. Hope none of you are too excited about chourio, he's only gonna play against lh pitching.....
-
Burnes will need to adjust. He's put a few cutters on the outside corner already, needs to move those a couple inches off the plate apparently and still get the strikes. If he does that he'll hit double digit ks
-
That was some shaky defense in RF. He almost didn't catch the routine fly ball...
-
Pitchers need to institute occasional pitchouts on these. Clearly Acuna aggressively went first move, on a 1-2 count a pitchout seems like a no brainer and should give the catcher a real chance to throw him out.
-
So this is what it'll look like when a guy throws over twice with a fast baserunner on 1st...the first attempt was a whoops but the second one was EASY.
-
What in the world? Who has all the lefty relievers? The Brewers only have one. Is there simply a shortage of quality LH relievers?
-
BAv2 has over 1500 innings in RF with positive DRS and UZR every year he's played out there. Pretty good for a "non-outfielder"... I suspect it'll be Mitchell, Yelich, Winker, Anderson getting the vast majority of playing time out there, I'm expecting Miller to more or less be glued to the bench.
-
This will be relevant once, maybe twice...and we aren't locked into this. Also Turang and Yelich both hold their own very well against lefties. Winker on the other hand will get instantly pulled against a lefty.
-
If this doesn't get you pumped for opening day, nothing will. We are very lucky to have BA calling games in Milwaukee.
-
This was tested at every MLB ballpark last year for a 2-3 week period. Not used, but tested. I have to imagine that will be expanded this year before implementation.
-
Enjoying a Brewer game while ice fishing is quite impressive.....
-
This is false. We have 6 guys capable of playing in the outfield on the 26 man. That's plenty...
-
This also only works if we can convince the Brewers to trade for Cobb to play 1b.
-
I think you're not giving Brosseau enough credit. Look at his numbers last year and in spring. He's also at that age that guys tend to have career years...
-
Voit has been a part of some pretty good lineups, let's hope he's right.
-
There really isn't precedent for an elite talent to be traded in the NFL with minimal team control. Maybe looking at baseball is the answer as it happens quite often. Teams have a tendency to shell out big in prospect value for elite talents at the deadline with either 0.5 or 1.5 years of team control remaining. I certainly get the impression from comments above that sides are not close. If the Packers are just now backing off needing #13 overall AND the Jets claim the Packers are being irrational and unreasonable...that gives me the impression maybe they think he's worth like a 3rd or something and the Packers wanted #13 overall value which I think I've seen would also be comparable to getting those 2 2nds. Maybe the sides really are THAT far apart.
-
Add fuel to the "he said she said". I think we'll all have a better feel for who is/was irrational once the trade finally gets done.
-
Fair points. CC just said that Anderson will play a lot of RF to start the season. I wouldn't doubt him and Winker splitting starts there with Anderson also getting some 3b/1b and Winker getting some DH. Neither Winker or Anderson are average defenders out there, but they have plenty of experience and in theory their bats should play just fine. I certainly can see the value of having Frelick/Wiemer up now, they might be better short term and certainly are better long term. But the flexibility and that extra year of control can't be ignored as factors. Clearly for MA that equation spits out the answer of keep both down for a bit and try Winker/Anderson.
