Looking around at the box scores from today’s games throughout the league, there are very few 3B playing today with a meaningfully higher OPS than Durbin’s .684.
Yelich played 1B in high school, I thought.
He also played 3B in high school…Whoah solvvd? 🙂

I think the Brewers are very logical. Don’t pay aging veterans more money than they are worth. Very few players are better in their 30s than they were in their 20s.
Other than Jesse Winker, bringing in good people that make the clubhouse an enjoyable place to play.
What a neat article! It does make me wonder what data or algorithms do the Brewers use that other teams overlook?
Most surprising:
They are scoring an NL-leading 5.6 runs a game and 3.41 ERA. (Over past month)
I understand the thinking. At the same time, Miz is super affordable for multiple years. It would be disappointing to lose him for a season but not financially ruinous.
There are no guarantees that whoever we receive from a Miz trade would pan out, even if they are proven MLB talent.
