I don't really consider Winker an outfield option at this point in his career and would rather see the Brewers mix and match their OF prospects over giving him significant time in the field.- 61 replies

I like the Winker deal primarily because it was buying low on a formerly consistent player but yeah, I see your point here.
-
Honestly, the potential outfield in the second half of 2023 is a compelling x-factor. What combination of Chourio, Wiemer, Frelick, and Mitchell will we see by that time? It has the potential to turn the Brewers into a really compelling outfield both defensively and offensively or it could crash down around our heads. The variance on it is massive, as it usually is with a bunch of rookies in the mix.

NO YOU MUST COMMIT TO A GRADE NOW AND NEVER CHANGE YOUR OPINION EVER 😃

To me, success over the next 10-ish months is two-fold: 1. Not only make the postseason but advance at least one round. I don't consider one-and-done a success at this point. 2. Next offseason, trade Burnes while one of Woodruff or Adames should be extended by that time (preferably this spring). I'm fine with letting one of the big three walk to free agency with a QO attached but only one. And that one should not be Corbin Burnes so trade him.

I agree with all of this. I think Wong will rebound a bit defensively but the offensive environment will help Winker and hurt Wong.
-
Oh yeah, he can definitely provide value, which is why I generally like the deal, he's just working from a pretty severe disadvantage given his defensive limitations. And it's not as if Wong was a slouch himself. The bar for Winker to hit even an equilibrium with Wong is relatively high. To me, the most interesting part of the deal that can swing value way toward the Brewers is what happens with Toro over the next couple of seasons.
-
Oh, I’m just having fun about the fact we all know you hated that deal.

Examining a potential 2025 Milwaukee Brewers starting rotation
Brock Beauchamp commented on Steven Ohlrogge's blog entry in Brewers ink Brian Anderson
I think we'll learn a lot more about that in the next seven months. The Brewers had several enticing arms in the lower minors but that's a long road to MLB, much less success in MLB. My biggest question about the team over the past two-ish years has ultimately been "okay, they created a pitching goliath once, now can they do it again?" The Magic Eight Ball says "Reply Hazy, Try Again Later". -
When we saw the author and title of the piece, we all knew the Suter grade going in, right? 😄

I think the B- is a pretty fair grade on the Winker deal. The thing about the Winker deal is that he will have to rake to post big value due to his defensive limitations being to such an extent he'll see most of his time at DH. And giving up Wong is a considerable loss of value. Again, I like the deal but Winker would have to post a monster OPS to make it an A+ deal, like top-of-the-league hitting.

Okay, so this is wayyyyy beyond my knowledge of the human body. Do you work in the field?
-
I don't dislike their supporting deals around Contreras, they just weren't very inspiring to me. I think Renfroe would still be a pretty good fit on this roster. The Contreras deal on its own was A+++ territory. One of the best baseball deals I've seen recently from any team. The failure to make any movement on the extension front is a big reason why I'm giving them a B- right now.
-
I'd also be curious about this, in no way was I trying to silence Jopal. I was speaking more directly to bickering than any specific opinion.
-
What a strange way to induce opposite-handed swing-and-misses. Another great piece, Matt, a lot to chew on here.
-
Let's calm down a little, everyone. I did not take the slightest offense to Jopal's response to me, no one need be offended on my behalf. Let's stay on topic, please!
-
I mean, maybe, but generally I find WPA a good metric for relievers, particularly late-inning relievers. You can use pretty much any metric of your choice to gauge the value of Fingers in 81.
-
I have to give them a minimum of B- on the offseason simply for the Contreras deal. Remove that single deal and I have a hard time giving them better than a D grade. Some of their moves weren't bad but it was a lot of shuffling players around without seeing a lot of gains in the process.
-
But the Brewers did manage Burnes' workload in 2021, running a six man rotation for pretty much the entire season, which is why Burnes finished the season with 28 starts instead of 33-ish. Which is pretty much what I said the team should consider doing again in 2023 with the first comment in this article.
-
We're talking about a pitcher who has zero 150 IP seasons in his professional career and has crossed 100 IP only three times. It's not exactly crazy-talk to wonder how the team plans to manage his workload.
-
Yeah, that's basically how I'm envisioning it. If there's an off day, bump Ashby/whomever but keep Burnes and Woodruff on a six day schedule when it makes sense.
-
With the acquisition of Miley, returning to a six-man rotation might be a viable option. I think that makes the most sense, at least through the first couple of months of the season.* *assuming it's even possible but with the Brewers having seven viable options, six may be healthy at any given moment
-
A dynasty-busting move, for sure.
