    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.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    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.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    Oh, I’m just having fun about the fact we all know you hated that deal.
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    I think Mitchell could easily be a black hole but thankfully, there are other options should that happen.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    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".
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    Well, that's certainly a decision that could be made. Not the decision I'd make but it's certainly a decision.

    When we saw the author and title of the piece, we all knew the Suter grade going in, right? 😄
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    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.

    That second graph is surprising at a glance but upon consideration, it makes sense. The Brewers didn't run out many bad hitters last season. They ran out several uninspiring hitters but they certainly weren't bad.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    Ugh, this is rarely a good sign when guys are just beginning to ramp up their throwing programs for the season.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Okay, so this is wayyyyy beyond my knowledge of the human body. Do you work in the field?
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    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.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    Indeed. MLB should either just expand or chip in to get these teams new stadiums. I'd prefer the former, obviously, but staying in a holding pattern for 15 years while these issues never get resolved is growing thin. MLB refusing to expand so that two teams with bad ownership can extort their local municipalities is not the right course of action here and hasn't been for the past decade or more.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    What a strange way to induce opposite-handed swing-and-misses. Another great piece, Matt, a lot to chew on here.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    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!

    What I suspect might have happened is that while working several days ago, my five year old decided it would be fun to play with my laptop while sitting on my lap. She toggled off a critical forum setting that split all of the news topics into separate topics from their forum topics. I did not notice this happened and moved on. Only a day or so later did I notice the forums were behaving oddly and dug into it, finding an always-on toggle suddenly turned off. I think what this did is "re-enable" old posts as unread past the first page of a forum. After I re-merged all those topics, they began behaving as expected again. All in all, this is nothing more than 6/10 behavior from the kid. Last time she messed with my computer while sitting on my lap, it involved spilling a glass of water and bricking a $1200 Macbook. I'm calling it a win for the Beauchamp household.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    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.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    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.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    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.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    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.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    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.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    Exactly.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    I think the CF range will more than offset any potential arm weakness. Arm just doesn't play into RF all that often while range is consistently tested. Obviously, you want a guy with a good arm to throw to third but I'd rank it a far distant second to speed and range.
