    He's a better-than-average hitter and a better-than-average fielder. He has value, particularly after trading Ruiz, who is a RH bat that could have been on the roster on O.D.
  2. Robocaller
    yeah, maybe when someone is nicked up but not put on the DL. And we'll probably always have a C on the taxi squad, if that's still a thing.
  3. Robocaller
    why would that lessen SB? High K means they tend to go deeper in the count, so more pitches to time the steal.
  4. Robocaller
    some good stuff there. There's a mistake in the first sentence. We acquired William Contreras, not Willson.
  5. Robocaller
    I'd assert that there's no team that would rather have Willson Contreras on his contract than William Contreras on his contract. Probably not even the Cardinals.

    I went to an A's site where a guy was denigrating Ruiz's batted ball stats. Bunts kinda tank batted ball stats, and what, Ruiz did it more than once a week?
  7. Robocaller
    They might be. Billy isn't running them anymore.
  8. Robocaller
    If you're an idiot and don't consider context, like Law, and base your decisions on batted ball stats, you'll always undervalue Ruiz, whose batted ball stats are skewed because he bunts regularly.

    Second Best Post!
  10. Robocaller
    click on that. the responses are priceless.
  11. Robocaller
    I'd guess that almost every team would rather have our Contreras on his contract than the other Contreras on his contract. Maybe even the Cardinals.

    Yeager only has to improve his control to be a ML pitcher. Like a hundred other guys, but maybe he's one of the ones to do it.
  13. Robocaller
    Payamps looks like he should be on the 26 man roster O.D. and he won't be a FA until 2027. and Yeager has a chance to have a ML career as a reliever as well.

    What is astounding to me is that Matt Arnold had the balls to say, "You know, you guys need to sweeten the deal a little bit for me. Contreras isn't enough."
  15. Robocaller
    Unless Contreras improves defensively, he becomes a DH/C, playing in the field when Quero is resting.
  16. Robocaller
    I don't think people understand what BTV is doing. It doesn't predict what a player might get traded for, it estimates what similar players have been traded for. Different teams obviously value different players differently. If you're a good trader (and Arnold seems to be a god among GMs right now), you identify teams that value your players more than you value them. But if Ruiz is all we're giving up, Oakland is valuing Ruiz as high as Adames. Which is insane. BTW, BTV has increased the value of Woodruff, which many of you had been complaining about.

    This a great get for the brewers, particularly if our contribution is mainly Ruiz (they really needed to trade him, Mitchell or Frelick, with Ruiz being the most desirable to trade). Contreras has been a LHP-destroyer, so that helps a ton. Eager to see what else we lose.
  18. Robocaller
    Some good stuff here. I think it's mistaken to blame shifts for low league-wide OPS last season--they changed the ball. And I'd like to know what the effect might be on our pitchers.
  19. Robocaller
    I think this was just some guy trying to make some content to post. The only way I could see making a trade with AZ for one of the OFs, is if we sent them more OFs than what we sent. And even that seems unlikely for several reasons. Varsho's trade value (BTV) is on the level of Burnes or Chourio, so I don't see any way we could acquire him.
  20. Robocaller
    this seems to be in the wrong forum.
  21. Robocaller
    well, other than that he has been on the 26 man major league roster, and has hit well in the minors. his defense is (supposedly) the only thing holding him back.
  22. Robocaller
    I think the reasons, in order of priority are: 1) pay for the raises that arbitration-eligible players would be getting. 2) provide opportunities for our rookies to play. I see absolutely no evidence that the moves were made to make us better in 2023 (rather, they're just hoping the young players get better and rookies thrive). It's possible, though unlikely, that some player (say Vaquez) doesn't get very good offers and the Brewers swoop in. They'll probably sign one decent reliever, and whatever they can sign to minor league contracts (Apparently, acquiring pitchers with ERAs over 5.00 is the new moneyball). Maybe we'll acquire a decent player at the deadline, if we're in the playoff race. I'd be surprised as hell if Toro hits anywhere close to .300; in AA and AAA, he played in places where batting was inflated. The pitchers we got from LAA aren't very good, and aren't young enough to make a huge, sustained jump in performance--that was one of my complaints, that they didn't take a flyer on a young pitcher. Again, there is no $10M in salary relief. Winker and the $1.75M to the M's ate up Wong's salary. Salary savings (and actually, they are savings from projected salary) from Renfroe will go to their arbitration players. Our only hope is that our players improve from 2022, and our rookies hit the ground running.

    Only if you define "best" as the teams which won the most games. The distinction is that the best team never wins all its games against even very bad teams (if they play enough games), and that a considerable amount of wins are determined by good or bad luck. The only way to evaluate it would be to find a time machine to go back to the start of the season and run a bunch of "simulations," but obviously we can't do that in the real world. Unless we're God.

    It's only factual if you view it as a tautology.
