I'd probably have to go with Sheets over Woodruff, maybe even Burnes. Sheets had the single season of dominance that Burnes had but also combined that with a longer track record of very good pitching than Woody has, at least so far. -
Oh, I think it's a long shot but it's the kind of outside-the-box thinking I'd like to see the Brewers at least try. If you guarantee Burnes a hefty payday in 2024 and 2025, it's insurance against arm/shoulder trouble. Maybe he brushes off the team immediately but it's not like it's an insulting offer. You're basically guaranteeing him over $30m with the team upside being you get him for $20-25m more for one season if he stays healthy.
-
It probably makes his path a bit harder simply because the coaching staff isn't watching him warm up, take BP, field, etc. for a few weeks. That's how teams do most of their evaluation during spring training and not being there is a disadvantage.
-
Yeah, an extension at this point in the game is really rare. The player is past the point of getting them for pennies on the dollar but still not close enough to free agency to demand a payday well in excess of $100m. The Brewers kinda screwed up by not getting one of the big three locked down last offseason before the stability of a new CBA sent MLB dollars into looney tunes land.

A week or two ago, I floated an entirely absurd idea about Burnes that IMO, is worth throwing at the wall to see if it sticks. Offer to buy out his remaining arb seasons at a fair guaranteed rate, then offer a one year $35-40m option with something like a $15m buyout. The team gets one more year of Burnes to offset the difficulty of losing Burnes, Adames, and Woodruff in a single season while Burnes gets a guaranteed payday should something go horrifically wrong in the next 24 months.

Christian Yelich: The Deep Dive
Brock Beauchamp commented on Jake McKibbin's blog entry in Jake's Blog
Welcome to Brewer Fanatic! -
To be fair to Taylor, he had a really nice 2022 season. I’m not a big fan of him being a starter but he accumulated 2.1 WAR in about 400 PAs.

Article: A Note from a New Guy
Brock Beauchamp replied to Matthew Trueblood's topic in Brewer Fanatic Front Page News
Let me be the first to welcome Matt to the site. You're all going to love his detailed, thoughtful analysis of baseball. -
Huh. An interesting note about the 96th percentile arm. It will be interesting to see if that moves downward with more playing time.
-
I don't know if there's anything Mitchell can show in ST to change his evaluations. Given his high K rate against MLB pitching, that doesn't translate well to spring training games when good pitchers walk to the mound saying "I'm going to throw my not-great changeup 40% of the time today" or batters get to face AAA pitchers with no real shot at pitching more than a handful of innings in the regular season. Mitchell could look fantastic in spring training by feasting on bad/in-process pitches and have absolutely none of it translate to the regular season. Which is kinda why I'm leaning toward putting him out there to start the season; give him another legit shot and see what happens but be prepared to pivot to Frelick in a hurry.
-
I generally agree with this. There just isn't a ton of upside of pushing Frelick right to the majors at the expense of Mitchell for less than a month of play. Mitchell's peripherals terrify me and I'm pretty low on him overall but he held his own last season, enough to put him first in line to start this season.

Archived Brewers Audio/Media 2023
Brock Beauchamp replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Heheheh, great podcast, wanted to support them. -
I'm a big advocate of baseball stadiums being right in the heart of a metro area, which I find frustrating about AmFam. But that's just me, I'm not a big tailgater. I love parks like Petco and Target Field largely because they're so walkable. You find a way to get to the area and then do a bunch of stuff sans car.
-
Yeah, more than I thought he did. 39 games in 2018 but only two in 2019.
-
Which is usually the case with really bad players in up-the-middle positions.
-
And the decision has been made.

Clancy decided to treat Yelich as a right fielder for the purpose of this series and that publishes tomorrow morning.

I mean really, only five teams won the World Series during that span, as the Astros won twice. I'm as disappointed as anyone by the postseason performances since 2018 but as a fan of smaller market teams, I'd drive myself insane if it was "World Series or bust" every year. Still, getting bumped in the first round every year isn't an acceptable outcome to me, either.

I'm not "over" him per se but I'm ready to move on. His perpetual "will he or won't he" situation over the past few years has worn out its welcome. I don't have anything against the guy but would like to see a long-term front office settle in and give the franchise a little more stability.

I feel like granular park effect is something we talk about a fair amount in baseball but rarely dig into the specifics. Like "this player pulls to right-center, how does that play in Park X?" Not "right field is short" or whatever but the actual spray charts and specifics. It's one of the reasons I so like the Twitter account (with the most absurd name ever) "Would It Dong". https://twitter.com/would_it_dong

When does the current contract expire?
-
Oh, for sure. If this really goes down, the short-term could be quite ugly for a bunch of franchises across three sports.
