Hader is currently 369th in innings pitched (8.1), but 9th in Win Probability Added (+1.21) for 2020. That tracks pretty well with his career ranks since 2017 where he is 193rd in IP (213), but 6th in WPA (+9.10). To have such an outsized impact on winning games in so few innings seems to indicate A) the nature of his deployment has likely been carefully considered & B) he probably isn't getting traded in the next week. Right, which shows just how ridiculous it is to not use him while just watching the team blow leads while your best pitcher sits in the bullpen except for like once a week
-
VI think he needs the day off to rest from overuse this year
-
Hader has pitched fewer innings than Eric Lauer, and only has one more appearance than Woodruff. If they’re too dumb to actually use Hader in Milwaukee they might as well get young talent for him.
-
I think that’s why you’d be looking at guys with future control, regardless of whether or not they help this year, like Andujar who I mentioned earlier. Don’t look at it as buying or selling, look at it as getting controllable talent. I’d be good with them getting a controllable 3B who starts right now AND trade Hader if both trades were for the right price
-
I pictured Ned Yost saying this, not Counsell. But apparently Yost is who we have now
-
It’s a good thing Hader is only allowed to be used when he can acquire a save stat like its fricking 2000.
-
There are a lot of variables, but non-rental trade targets depend on who is currently a long term piece, obviously. If Arcia continues to hit well enough to be at least a part-tome starter, Urias can start at 3B quite a bit. Assuming they re-sign Braun, that leaves a 1B/DH (maybe OF too). and 1B/3B as 2 options for getting the bats this offense really needs. I’m hoping they get one big bat (Ex: Yuli Gurriel) in FA but there aren’t many 3B options and they’ll be expensive. So I hope they get a 3B who can slide over to 1B because Braun won’t play every day and Urias can slide over to 3B for Arcia to play SS. Options who can do that and can also hit: -Wilmer Flores -DJ Lemehiu (FA but wont be cheap) -Renato Nunez -Brian Anderson (also plays OF) -Colin Moran

I think you’re onto something with a Renato Nunez type addition. I would be all for the Brewers taking a chance on acquiring some less heralded corner infielders right around the peak of the aging curve (age 26-28 range). Including Nunez, below is a list of similar players reaching their peak age that I’d be intrigued by: Renato Nunez (1B/3B, Orioles, Age 26) Ryan McBroom (1B/OF, Royals, Age 28) Jeimer Candelario (1B/3B, Tigers, Age 26) Johan Camargo (3B/2B, Braves, Age 26) I can’t quit on Carmargo. Jared Walsh (1B/LHP, Angels, Age 27) From Brookfield, two-way player, crushed Triple-A pitching last year. Sheldon Neuse (3B, A’s, Age 25) Probably the best prospect on this list, but about to turn 26 and hasn’t really been in A’s plans yet. Brent Rooker (OF/1B, Twins, Age 25) Rooker is a former 1st round pick that is all bat (including a great OBP in 2019), but little fielding ability. He’s about to turn 26 and doesn’t appear in the Twins current plans. I’d add Miguel Andujar to that list too. He’s not on the roster even with Stanton and Judge hurt so he could be a good buy low candidate

For those who didn’t click the link, per Robert Murray: At 11-14, the Brewers are an interesting team to monitor with the trade deadline nine days. Teams that have spoken to Milwaukee say they’re stuck in the middle and that if they do buy, they’re prioritizing players with multiple years of control. I believe this is the route they will go if they make any trades. I think it will be difficult to rely solely on free agency to patch weaknesses, so if you can find players now with multiple years of control that could go a long way towards improving next year’s roster. That’s pretty difficult to do with a weak farm system though. If not rentals, maybe Wilmer Flores or Renato Nunez would be attainable 1B/3B bats
-
I missed it who was shipped out for Matthias?
-
Gamel has been absolute trash, so why not send him to Appleton and promote Tyrone Taylor for another RHB? If they want a crappy LHB for RF they still have holt
-
I wish they would’ve gotten Smith when he was redundant before Cespedes got hurt and the DH was implemented in the NL.
-
That is beyond stupid and indefensible on counsell’s part.
-
The entire scouting report opposing teams need to get most of the brewers out: high fastballs. That’s it
-
The brewers have too many poor bats, why could they have signed 2 more poor bats?
-
So CC wants to sacrifice defense at DS and 2B by not DHing Hiura so that he can play BOTH of his trash-hitting 1B? Ok.....
-
If Hader is only gonna pitch like a closer in 2002 when there is a “save” stat to be had (which on this weak team is like once a week) they might as well trade him to a 21st century team that will be competitive and use him right
-
Narvaez vs a LHP? Must be for the defense
-
Called it!!
-
Dear god that is pathetic. But good call putting a guy who can’t get on base at leadoff. Cue the “brewers will score 10 because, baseball” comment.
-
Maybe don’t put the guy with a career OBP below 300 in the lead off spot against a lefty again. And maybe Hader doesn’t need to be used literally only when it’s a save situation, which is seemingly going to be pretty rare
-
So he is a better option than Cain? Against RHP, easily
-
Jus throw it above the zone and watch him chase
-
Great job by Sogard shortening his swing with 2 strikes. A bunch of his teammates were probably confused about what he was doing
