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.

Who will lead the Brewers in WAR in 2023?
Brock Beauchamp replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Mitchell. Bold prediction. -
This could be a fun exercise. In order, list a handful of Brewers in descending order of where they finish in WAR. I'll go first: Adames, Burnes, Yelich, Woodruff, Contreras

There's no way to rationally explain away the situation of how they ended up with Kris Bryant at that dollar amount and no longer have either Trevor Story or Nolan Arenado (while also paying Arenado). It was wildly bad management and not a single one of those names is a pitcher. And I'd bet my left arm that if Monfort knew the right person to pluck out of a system like the Rays or Guardians and paid them handsomely to manage the Rockies, they'd find a way to work around their elevation and pitching issues, or at least mitigate them somewhat.

What happens if Peak only reaches his 60% outcome?
-
I was going to type almost this exact thing but didn't need to repeat what you've said here. All of it is spot-on. The Rockies are unpredictable in the worst way. Where some GMs are delightfully unpredictable, the Rockies are nauseatingly unpredictable, constantly back-tracking and doing the opposite of what they did mere days beforehand. There's no rhyme or reason to their moves and they waste absolute buckets of money running in circles. Like I said earlier, it's damned hard to be a Rockies fan.
-
I agree that the Rockies face an uphill battle playing 81 games in Colorado but strongly disagree Monfort has been a competent owner.
-
I don't even think he's thin-skinned but he's overly abrasive for my tastes. It's one of my least favorite traits of his commentary and analysis. He's obviously super-knowledgeable about baseball, I don't get why he tends to be rude and condescending. His works suffers for it, IMO.
-
Keith Law is far from perfect but he's one of the evaluators I trust most. He has some blind spots but sticks to his guns and isn't afraid to stray outside conventional thought on a prospect. With that said, it surprises me not at all he left Mitchell off the list but am also impressed he put five Brewers on his top 100, including three in the top 50. Nice.

Every time someone from ownership of the Reds, Pirates, Rockies, et al open their mouths to say something about the sport, I'm glad I follow the Brewers and Twins. Go ahead and complain about Attanasio - he's certainly not without his flaws - but realize that objectively, he's one of the more tolerable owners in the sport. It's damned hard to be a Rockies fan right now.

Archived Brewers Audio/Media 2023

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.

The Five Best Left Fielders in Brewers History
Brock Beauchamp replied to Harold Hutchison's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
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.
