    The players wear this stuff about 200 days a year. If they have complaints (and it’s more than the visuals, players are complaining about fit and quality as well), it’s the union’s job to voice their complaints.

    Some of that is due to the final years of Mike Ilitch. He knew he was dying and so badly wanted a championship. He went hard at short term results and mired the Tigers in loads of bad contracts and a barren farm system. And frankly, good on him for doing it. He bet the house and lost but at least he took his shot.

    I’m not totally up to speed on the Tigers roster but their offense is… not good. If there’s a place he could find playing time, it’s probably Detroit.

    Oh, I'm not writing off Frelick as a leadoff guy, only that he has to prove he can post better numbers than he did in 2023 before I put him there. If he gets his OBP to .370 or higher and bumps that avg/slg a little, he's a good leadoff candidate.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    Frelick had an OPS just under .700 and an OBP under .350 with little to no power. It seems utter madness to even include him in a top-of-the-order conversation. Maybe he gets there in 2024 but he needs to be a lot more fearsome with the stick before it's even a consideration. It's not ideal but I'd start the season with this: Yelich Contreras Adames Hoskins If Adames doesn't rebound, I'd move him down and adjust accordingly, even putting Hoskins in the third spot - where he's not an ideal fit - because guys who hit should get the most PAs.

    Oh my, this would be hilarious.

    Welcome to the site! Yes, that would be a hard pill to swallow just in general. And who here wouldn't have preferred a Burnes extension over Snell?
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    Almost surely yes, they would.

    Absolutely. Arbitration doesn’t have to be bad but baseball’s current arb system is very bad.

    Well, this is exciting. It looks like we'll have on-site coverage in AZ with full press access for two writers. We expect to cover 15-ish days in Arizona. And I can't say the details quite yet but along with this access we have some exciting news coming so some of you can get off poor Matt Trueblood's back just because he likes the Cubbies. 😁
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    It's almost a 100% certainty.

    Welcome to Brewer Fanatic! I think Adames and Turang have value in very different ways. A team like the Dodgers is probably keen on Adames. A team returning to contention while remaining budget-conscious would likely prefer Turang.

    Voting closes tonight so if you haven't voted yet, cast your ballot!

    Neither side is innocent. The player's union is currently the biggest hurdle in changing arbitration. But both sides aren't equal, either. The team has most of the power in arbitration, as they control both the player and their usage.

    Welcome to Brewer Fanatic! I'm really pulling for Wiemer to break out this year. I'm not really sure why but I really like the guy.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    Pretty much everything you listed here is valued higher and more accurately by teams than at any point in baseball history. But you hit the nail on the head in a roundabout way. Teams value the stuff you listed *very highly* and track it down to minutia. They know EXACTLY how many runs a player generates by taking an extra base. But when it comes time to sit down for arbitration and for the player to get paid, teams do not use a SINGLE BIT of that internal information and argue out of both sides of their mouth how the player is less valuable than he really is. That's the problem here. How teams internally value a player and how they present their case to an arbitrator don't share a single thing in common.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    This is the key to it right here. I can't fault Hader in the slightest bit. The system is set up so that a guy who is making under a million bucks goes into an arb system that tells him helping the team isn't valuable. At that point, who can blame him for protecting his own career so that he has a better chance of getting a nine-digit payday? Fix the arbitration system, it's absolute garbage.

    Preface: this is a Bob Nightengale rumor. In his latest notes, Nightengale briefly mentions that the Brewers are letting teams know that shortstop Willy Adames is available in trade offers. Adames, 28 years old, has one year of team control remaining. Following the Corbin Burnes trade late last week, the Brewers now have a murkier path to contention and three viable shortstops on their roster: Adames, Joey Ortiz, and Brice Turang. Over the weekend, our own Jason Wang wrote up what a trade to the Miami Marlins might look like. This offseason had one of the weakest shortstop classes in recent memory. In addition to the Marlins, the Los Angeles Dodgers have been linked to various shortstop rumors over the winter. View full rumor

    I'm far more excited about DL Hall after reading this piece. As always, excellent work @Smichaelis9!
