Injuries happen.
DL Hall was effective in his 26.2 IP after the break last year, 3.38 ERA and 10.5 K/9 IP.
Durbin has nearly .900 OPS in Nashville, so far.
Ortiz was nearly a 3 WAR player last year. He has had a bad 43 plate appearances this year. If he gets 600 PA, this bad stretch would be 7% of his season.
If healthy, I bet Cortes has more WAR than Williams this year. It’s not like Williams was always healthy as a Brewer either.
Burnes and Williams were never going to help Milwaukee beyond their initial team control. We now have multiple players who will make meaningful contributions for several years.
