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

    I think he could still put up a few good ML seasons, but he's a good bet as a AAAA guy you can bring up and not get embarrassed.

    Last year I thought the Cards over performed their true ability (as a team), while the Brewers under-performed. I still believe the Brewers were the better team. If the Cards add a SS after adding Contreras, and after the at-best lateral moves we've made, we might just be hoping for a wildcard slot.

    Drury bats RH.
  5. Robocaller
    I agree that 2022 Drury's bat would be a great addition for the Brewers. I just don't know how likely 2023 Drury will be = 2022 Drury. Over his career, he hasn't exactly been a LHP-killer. In his most-recent full year before 2022 (which is 2019), he did badly vs. lefties. And he certainly doesn't help in the field. 2 years, $16M total contract is about the most that I'd consider. I think he'll want a longer contract.

    Clancyphile has a name! And his name is Harold Hutchison!

    What do you mean by this? If the same team picks (say) 16, 7, and 18 in three consecutive years, in the next year they have to draft #10 or later? Or do you just mean the first 6 picks of the draft as a "lottery pick." Because 10th overall pick IS a lottery pick.

    For whom?
  9. Robocaller
    He has been about as consistent as you could get, never hitting less than .294. Doesn't bring much else than OBP, but that's a lot.

    Since this is MN, home of Prince, Let's Go Crazy! Woodruff and Adames for Arraez Ober Thielbar C. Prielipp R. Lewis. By BTV, this is slightly in the Twins favor 79.1 vs 78.9
  11. Robocaller
    In answer to the title of the piece: No.
  12. Robocaller
    I would assert that this is exactly the opposite of what we should be doing. That much deferred payment will be a drag on the future success of the team. Big bucks on a short contract would be ideal. Buy out two years of FA, give him slight raises over what he would get in arbitration, then basically tack on Verlander's contract. I doubt a contract of any kind can be negotiated.
  13. Robocaller
    That's absurd, IMO. He makes us a win worse. Because he sucked.
  14. Robocaller
    Opening day or sometime in June (after super 2) is a more likely dichotomy. Though if he is on two top 100 lists, I think he'll be up on OD or within a couple of weeks.

    Josh Hader: 7.31 ERA with SD. 16 IP. Taylor Rogers 5.48 ERA with MKE, 23 IP. Hader did fine in the playoffs, but if he performed for us like he performed for SD, it would have made us worse. That's the truth.
  16. Robocaller
    He's in the 40s on MLB.com. So, he'll probably be on at least 2 lists.
  17. Robocaller
    But if the same three guys are playing 2B-SS-3B, their offense doesn't matter regarding where they play in the field. It used to be that SS were mostly slap-hitting defense-first players, but that doesn't apply any more.
  18. Robocaller
    A lot of people are forgetting about Strzelecki; he's probably our 7th inning guy unless we acquire someone.
  19. Robocaller
    You can send him down during the season if it's clear he's not going to be top 3, to control his service time. You can always use the "we want him to get more regular playing time, or work on X" as the excuse.

    Who's our DH if Yelich and Winker are both in the field?
  21. Robocaller
    that seems to require the rookies to all produce pretty well, which is far from a certainty.
  22. Robocaller
    I guess, the worst-case scenario is that you traded Wong's $2M buyout for $1.75M and Winker and Toro. So Winker and Toro only need to be worth $0.25M for this trade to be a wash.
  23. Robocaller
    who's our 6th starter? Junk? We need 7.
  24. Robocaller
    It's reasonable to expect both of them will do better than they did in 2022. How much better, I don't know. I don't know what procedure Winker had on his knee, but the one on his spine could take months to recover from. I don't feel great about having Urias, Adames, Brosseau, Turang and Toro as our only options 2b-SS-3b. I don't feel great about having someone who will keep Yelich away from DHing, and thus also keep one of our rookies from getting significant ABs in the majors.
  25. Robocaller
    I have no idea what you're suggesting.
