    I think Small will be our next Brent Suter. Perhaps persisting longer as a multi-inning/spot starter.
  2. Robocaller
    I have a hard time wrapping my brain around a premise that equates Woodruff with Suter, two guys with incredibly different stuff and prospect status (Woodruff fell to the 11th round because his performance at MS State wasn't good, in spite of quality stuff, while Suter was picked in the 31st round because his stuff was pedestrian and he was never a significant prospect).
  3. Robocaller
    Unless he has a setback, Chourio will be up during 2024. I hope Wiemer is up sometime during 2023, at which point Taylor can be traded.
  4. Robocaller
    We're good at CF. Turang should probably never play there.
  5. Robocaller
    I'd love it they did that, but I think they'll keep Turang down until sometime in June (super 2).
  6. Robocaller
    It's two of the three top 100 lists that they consider. If it's only one, it doesn't count.
  7. Robocaller
    You don't need to be on the opening day roster, but you do within about 2 weeks to have enough days of service.
  8. Robocaller
    Just because someone sometime made a bad argument that agrees with you doesn't mean that you're right. It's hard to imagine a player denigrated for hitting 11 HRs in limited ABs.
  9. Robocaller
    Hiura had a .866 OPS vs RHP in 2022. That's pretty close in the rearview mirror.
  10. Robocaller
    I don't think Turang will be on two (or even one) top 100 lists, so he won't qualify. So there will be no benefit of having him on the OD roster, other than his potentially superior play compared to whomever they keep on the roster. I'm not confident the Brewers will do anything that limits their long-term financial interest.
  11. Robocaller
    The "better option" will be when Wiemer is on the ML team.
  12. Robocaller
    IMO, he's designed to be a placeholder to keep Turang in the minors until after the super 2 cutoff. His success in the minors suggests he could be a breakout candidate, but if he doesn't, we have Turang to bring up. Throw enough crap at the wall, some of it is sure to stick. If Toro and Miller click, Brice might be disappointed for a while (until Adames is traded).
  13. Robocaller
    I'm fairly sanguine about Lutz. He could have a trajectory like Taylor, a guy who had some early success, stalled, then recovered his career. With Mitchell, Frelick, Wiemer (and Chourio coming), he doesn't have to be a CF to be the 4th-5th OF. He has to have a good 2023 though.
  14. Robocaller
    I wish I could do time jumps. I'd go back and tell my 15-17 year-old self a thing or two. :-)
  15. Robocaller
    Mitchell has the better arm. He'd be the RF when they're both on the field (with Yelich).
  16. Robocaller
    I agree with this, except in 2024, Mitchell will be playing CF and Frelick LF. And Taylor might be gone.
  17. Robocaller
    Unless they avoid super 2 with Frelick (delaying his promotion), I see Frelick and Mitchell getting most of the starts in CF and RF. Taylor will get plenty of time playing RF when Frelick or Mitchell sits, and playing LF when Yelich sits or plays DH.
  18. Robocaller
    They don't have to play at the same time. If they play for the same team, they will be getting similar opportunities. Of course, they both need to have a fair number of innings at the position so they'll average out. I'm not advocating for using RF, just indicating when it is a reasonable stat to look at.
  19. Robocaller
    If two guys play for the same team, it's reasonable they played against similar competition and with similar pitching.
  20. Robocaller
    I didn't know they stopped having a baseball team (1991 was last year).
  21. Robocaller
    crappy infielders and crappy pitchers are the new market inequality. Or at least that seems what the Brewers' decisions suggest.
  22. Robocaller
    And I feel bad about losing Feliciano, though I don't think he'd really be given a chance, except as a callup after an injury.
  23. Robocaller
    Doesn't hit very well. Doesn't field terribly well. Brewerfans, this is the reason Turang will be in AAA on O.D. He's an upside guy like Toro; they could have a breakout or they could be a AAAA guy for the rest of their career. I'm sure he's overjoyed to play for his (nearly) hometown team. Reasonably strong negative splits in ML, so doesn't help vs. LHP.
  24. Robocaller
    If 100 is average, 104 is above average, is it not? I didn't say he was well above average. And he can play every OF position just fine. There's a big difference in my mind between a 4th and a 5th OF. The 4th OF will play a lot. the 5th OF might be in AAA. He's an ideal placeholder until Wiemer can be promoted. I was all for trading him before Renfroe got traded. Now, we have to keep him (unless another RHH OF is acquired).
  25. Robocaller
    ah, so it's not SO rates, it's OBP. There are plenty of high SO pitchers that give up high OBP. Not giving up a SB, once a player is on base, is determined (from the pitcher's standpoint) by how well the pitcher can hold the runner on (LHP tend to be better), how many pitches per PA, and how quickly the pitcher works.
