    I really can’t yet, we’re still working on it and until we feel like something more substantial is forming, we don’t want to start rumor-mongering things that end up being untrue. I can say that the Brewers are talking to teams specifically about Burnes but nothing appears close at this time.
  2. Brock Beauchamp
    I know specific pieces are being talked about but the general vibe I’m hearing is that no one is close yet. As you said, I think this remains in limbo until 2024 unless someone gets really motivated about it.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    I’m hearing interesting scuttlebutt. The Brewers are definitely talking on Burnes but nothing concrete to report beyond that.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    Like if you see vital text that's hard to read or anything that could be improved, please share.

    I've spent the past couple of weeks with dark mode, identifying and fixing small display bugs along the way. If you see display errors while using dark mode, please share them here.

    The Twins are actively pursuing a front line starter and I think they’re open to trading Lee. One year of Burnes isn’t enough for Lee, probably. If the Brewers are interested in trading Peralta, I think a haul of Lee+ could happen.

    A huge concern. Caveat emptor with him, there's a decent chance his ankle is cooked. I mean, I think he'll keep being pretty good when he's playing but I'm skeptical how often you can expect triple-digit games started for him at this point.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    You’re right that Julien has little upside defensively but he was dealing with lower body issues for most of last year, he’s not actually that slow. But his bat has a floor wayyyyy higher than anyone else in this conversation.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    This simply is not enough to get Julien. The Twins aren't going to trade a promising young player for a bunch of decent-but-problematic players any more than the Brewers would trade Frelick to the Twins for Austin Martin and Tanner Schobel (the Twins equivalent of Wiemer or Mitchell).

    I'd prefer to think it's a miscommunication. No need to attribute malice to the situation, we've certainly made a few blunders in the past.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    Thanks, I didn't offer that up because I don't check the forum often and didn't know if it had fantasy content.

    Getting out in front of this
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    Heyman directly verified that Yelich's name has not been mentioned.

    Welcome to Brewer Fanatic!
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    We've been trying to track down information on this, including directly from Heyman. We haven't uncovered anything that makes me believe it's a real rumor.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    There is not but I'm not averse to creating one if the demand is there. I'm wary of creating forums unless I'm confident they will be used, though,
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    This is interesting. I'm inclined to believe the Twins say no but I'm not sure. Lee and Frelick are similarly-valued prospects, though a little of the shine has rubbed off Frelick based on his MLB performance.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    I’d also rather trade Wiemer but don’t think his value is all that high. And maybe more importantly, I’m far from convinced the Brewers are the right team to fix his issues.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    And I pointed out that the underlying metrics showed concern about Hiura, even when he was raking in 2019. Julien has no such concerns beyond typical prospect concerns. Anyway, here are the Baseball Savant pages for each rookie season. These players are not similar and this is before Hiura fell apart due to some of the uglier aspects of his underlying peripherals.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    Going into 2023, Twins Daily had him at #5 on their top prospects list. I think he climbed the list a little but quickly lost rookie status so dropped off the list.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    Yep, if you're working full counts constantly, the margin for error drops and strikeouts will end up happening, usually in pretty high numbers. But it's a worthwhile tradeoff if the player has a good eye and can actually do damage on mistake pitches, which Julien can.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    Julien's K rate is high but some of that is due to his eye at the plate. That's nothing like Hiura. Julien has a swinging strike percentage of 10%. The best Hiura ever posted, his rookie year, was 17.5%. Julien had a zone contact of 81.4%. The best Hiura has ever posted is 76.9%, again his rookie year. He has spent multiple years in the 60s. Julien's overall contact numbers are similarly different, about 12 percentage points higher than Hiura's career mark. Julien also swings far less often than Hiura, over ten percentage points less often. They're really nothing alike other than they both strike out (and Julien not as often as Hiura even in his rookie season, adjusted for the league average). But strikeouts can be reached in very different ways. Hiura just flat-out misses the ball, Julien chooses not to swing at borderline pitches but makes better contact when he does choose to swing.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    Here is Julien's OBP by level: A: .490 (204 PAs) A+: .397 (310 PAs) AA: .441 (508 PAs) AAA: .435 (170 PAs) MLB: .381 (408 PAs)
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    I don't think there's much overlap between Julien and Hiura other than both have iffy defense. First, Julien is a lefty bat and he walks way more than Hiura. Julien's strike zone judgment isn't just good, it's elite.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, the cost difference between Farmer and Taylor might be an issue. Hard to say for sure but the swap fills a need for both teams. As for Julien, I don't know what to think of him. He was absolutely BRUTAL when he came up at second base. But by the final two months of the season, he looked okay at the position. But that's not enough of a sample to convince me of anything. But he's young and pretty athletic. There's no reason for him to be as bad as he was in early 2023. He was also fighting off a... knee, I think?... injury that hampered him for much of the season.
