A huge shout-out to @Smichaelis9 for these write-ups. When I reached out and asked if they wanted to try their hand at this, I frankly did not expect this kind of quality from the beginning. Really top-notch work and it fills a large hole in our yearly coverage that we've really wanted to fill to take this site to another level. Well done!- 7 replies

One might even say the Brewers need to be RISPy.
-
That’s a fair way to look at it.
-
Yep, that’s about the way I see it too.
-
Wins may be the most important thing in baseball but the team needs to be watchable, too. And there were stretches of Brewers baseball that I just turned off because of things like their sub-50% ability to score a runner from third with less than two outs. Please fix this, if only for my sanity.

I've seen several people, particularly on Twitter, claim that Burnes is the best pitcher in Brewers history (some saying it's not close). Is this a common thought? I don't buy it one bit. I think Burnes has the potential to become the best pitcher in Brewers history but Burnes has been an elite starter in one season and an extremely good starter in another. If he replicates 2022 in 2023-4 (or is even better), sure, he's the best in Brewers history. But as of right now, I don't see him with a clear advantage over Sheets or Higuera. Maybe that's just me.
-
I didn't realize this contract included a team option for 2024, which makes way more sense than what I initially thought was a two month offer on a pitcher with control issues coming back from a surgery that often hampers control for several months.
-
I assume they refer to the team name at the time but now that I think about it, I don’t know for sure.
-
If people weren't so wildly immature about calling the Cleveland team by their actual name, we wouldn't need a word filter in the first place so... *shrugs*
-
Hah! That is actually a side effect of a word filter intended for the forums. It never occurred to me that it would take effect here in the news section. I'll have to investigate that and figure out how to disable it. I edited the article and set it to publish and it definitely read "Cleveland That-Other-Name" and not "Guardians".
-
This isn’t true, though. I’ve seen this situation talked about in every baseball group I’m a member of, including Twins Daily.
-
One is a front page news story and currently we cannot merge an article thread into a normal thread. I would have moved this thread this morning but it was so active I left it here for awhile longer. I’ll probably move it this afternoon some time One of my primary tasks later in the year is resolving the inability to merge an article topic into another topic.
-
And let’s be honest about this situation. A portly fella named Rowdy Tellez should ONLY play for the Milwaukee Brewers. He’s a 2-ish WAR mascot.
-
I’d probably pursue Lauer and Urias extensions first but if Rowdy could be had on a team-friendly deal, it’s a pretty good idea. I think he’s due to take a nice step forward this season. He won’t be an elite bat but I think there’s a little more upside there.
-
Neutrality isn’t necessarily an admirable trait. Sometimes people actually have opinions on things and that’s fine. Even with the weirdness and dumb rules of arb, having a star player openly talk about being frustrated/angry isn’t a good look for an organization. I guarantee Matt understands the nuances of arb, that’s not the issue here Matt isn’t here to defend the Brewers. He isn’t here to blast them, either. His role is to analyze what they do and come to a conclusion.
-
Let’s not make this personal. MVP is simply stating how arbitration works and their points are accurate. Whether it’s a bad system or not is kind of a separate argument, one I can’t recall seeing anyone make. Arb is considered universally awful by pretty much everyone.
-
To be fair to Attanasio, I doubt he had any involvement with Burnes in arbitration. The front office, on the other hand... yikes. This is just the latest Corbin Burnes situation of several where the team doesn't seem even remotely interested in putting their best foot forward with a superstar pitcher.
-
The entire arbitration system is a trash fire that should have been addressed in the latest CBA. It's in both parties' interests to not do it this way.

I think there's a fine line that can be walked on attacking early in the count. Watching a middle-middle fastball go by you has its consequences, too. First, it puts you in the hole 0-1. Second, it's probably the best pitch you'll see in that PA. While it's nice to run up opposing pitch counts, that in itself doesn't win baseball games.
-
If the Brewers aren't going to extend any of the big three, I like the idea of gaining an extra couple of years from some of their second tier players like Urias, Tellez, Lauer, etc. And the moment Chourio hits the majors, I want to see him locked down for 8-10 years.
-
Yeah, the PECOTA standings feel closer to right and I don't think I'm being a homer about either the Brewers or Twins on this one (if anything, I think PECOTA having the Twins marginally above the Brewers in wins feels a bit wrong). Placing the Cardinals 7-8 wins above than the Brewers doesn't feel right, which is what ZiPS did. The Cardinals have a bunch of old-ish players that performed well last season and I think they lose at least a couple of wins from the natural aging curve alone. I think the two teams are pretty similar with the Brewers having a bit more volatility to be better or worse than their projections.
-
Yeah, that was the posting snafu that happened when my five year old toggled a setting I didn’t notice.
