Brewers acquire Daniel Norris from Tigers
Jopal78 replied to homer's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
The knee jerk reaction to DFA someone after a couple of bad innings is how a pitcher like Phil Bickford is now the 7th inning guy for the Dodgers. With Milwaukee: 2G, 2IP, 6ER, FIP of 13.69. With Los Angeles: 37G, 34.2IP, 8ER, 42K, 5BB, FIP of 2.72, WHIP of 1.07. -
I don't think that is a fair assessment. Harrison and Diaz were both 2nd round picks out of high school in the 2014 draft. If they contribute at all at the major leagues, I don't know how you can mark them as failures. To date there are only two other players from the 2nd round of the 2014 draft with positive career WARs (Alex Verdugo and Spencer Turnbull). Not to mention the first round is littered with busts: Tyler Kolek (#2 overall) Nick Gordon (#5 overall), Max Pentecost (#11) overall, and Milwaukee's own Kodi Medeiros (#12 overall). I do think it's fair to say with the dust having settled on the Yelich trade, the Marlins got an underwhelming return for Yelich. Yet it is not at all surprising given Yelich was already established as one of the game's better young players when he demanded a trade.
