As I said in my list, I am really waiting on the Brewers' decision on the 40-man to some degree, just because Devanney's path makes it tough for me to apply my usual thought process to him. I'm someone who is leery of putting too much weight on the stats of a guy repeating a level unless he is young for the league. Devanney isn't your normal repeat, though. After the lost COVID year, because he was older and the lower-level middle infield spots were populated by the likes of Hamilton, Holt, Zamora, Cantrelle and Valerio, he skipped A and high-A entirely. It was a big ask, and it obviously did not go well. But do I treat him as a guy who was a pure repeat, or like he was solid the previous year in high-A (like I think he would have been) and scuffled after a late-season promotion?
For what it is worth, Fangraphs after his rookie ball season noted that he had plus power potential and nothing in the available numbers from last season, outside of his age, throws up a huge red flag.
