I'm talking about the value as a calculated number, not the real, though obviously subjective value. Though if they don't demote Wiemer for at least 2 weeks sometime this season, the management has done malpractice.
-
Wiemer's calculated value is largely due to getting 3 assists already. He's a negative offensively. I'd suggest the defensive value is small-sample-related: teams will learn not to test his arm.
-
Before the season, If you said the Brewers would be 8 1/2 ahead of the Cardinals on May 1, I'd have assumed that Arenado and Goldschmidt were both injured for most of the season. If you had said the Pirates would be 1 1/2 games ahead of the Brewers on May 1, I'd have assumed that at least two of Adames, Woodruff, Burnes and Peralta missed a large amount of time and our rookies had been unplayable. Weird things happening.
-
Am I a bad person for wishing we could demote him to the minors before going on the IL so he doesn't burn service time? I'm sure that's against the CBA.
-
I can't disagree more, at least not after they acquired Winker and Anderson. I'd rather have a guy who could play decent OF instead of Winker (allowing Yelich to DH more), but after they got those guys, their decisions have been fine, with the possible exception of not bringing up Frelick instead of Wiemer (but I can see how they made that decision). Plus, I don't know if Taylor was expected to be the "primary" RF. A few guys would play there, and I think Anderson was always slated for a good number of games in RF.

Lenny Dykstra, but not a D.
-
I hope they come to their senses soon. Why is Owen Miller on the O.D. roster? He made a tiny bit of sense as a guy who could fill in at 1B a little bit, but with Voit, he won't even be needed for that. What more does Frelick have to prove?
-
Being up on OD doesn't mean he'll be up for the whole season. He could be up until Taylor can return, and then an extra year isn't an issue.

I think all of these guys have a decent chance to be in the majors at some point within the next 2-3 years. Strikeouts are hugely important when evaluating minor league stats for pitchers, but stuff trumps that. Can Cornielle sit in the mid-90s, or is he a 90-ish fastball kinda guy?

What would a Corbin Burnes Trade Look Like?
Robocaller replied to YodaDaSoda's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I think the timeline would be deadline in '23, if the team has little chance of making the playoffs. -
well that's great. did I provide an address when I signed up for the site?
-
Success means making the playoffs and having young players develop.

or WPA didn't.

I think a 6 man rotation is a given, perhaps moving the big two up a day occasionally when their next turn would be on a day off.
-
Rollie Fingers should be #1, no question. He won the MVP as a reliever. He frequently pitched multiple innings and didn't rack up saves as much as contemporary closers do. The Brewers have had many great seasons from closers, but no one compares to Fingers.

There's a thread on Monte in the main forum. Don't need this.

they should have Mitchell, Frelick, and Taylor splitting time in CF and RF, with some games at LF when Yelich is on the bench or DH.

I want to applaud you for the time it took to do that analysis. However, looking at the context of each HR is worse than evaluating a hitter's ability by their RBIs. There are already good ways to look at a hitter's production. Perhaps some day you will provide a better way of doing it, but it is not this day.
-
It's the worst possible outcome. Frelick, Mitchell, and Taylor would all be better options in RF.
-
When I was a little kid, I was at a game and Briggs made a catch against the wall right in front of me. He seemed huge. Baseball Ref. has him as 190#, but I can't imagine him being that light.
-
I've come to think he means valuable in the fantasy baseball context, which I think has modest to no relevance to real world baseball value.
-
As others have said, this isn't a good analysis, but you seem to have neglected to remove his HRs from his ABs (although you might have removed them from his hits). He hit .197 if you remove them from both. Though doing so makes no sense.
-
Aaron Judge only batted .226 if you take away his HRs.
