    Burnes is the better pitcher and it's not that close. Plus he won a CY.
  2. Robocaller
    If that's true, WTH? They gave Woodruff $10.8M.
  3. Robocaller
    or he just wants to go to arbitration.

    Some of you are denigrating Cooper's career stats, and that's either unfair or ignorant. He was the only one (of the contenders) who stayed with the team well past his prime. If you look at 4-6 year peak, he should be considered the clear winner.
  5. Robocaller
    You seem to think you have it figured out. Bless you.
  6. Robocaller
    If so, you have greater wisdom than just about everyone who studies baseball prospects.

    By BTV, it's: 1. Burnes 2. Chourio 3. Peralta 4. Woodruff 5. Adames 6. Contreras 7. Williams 8. Ashby 9. Frelick 10. Urias 11. Mitchell 12. Wiemer 13. Taylor 14. Turang. 15. Brown 16. Black 17. Lauer 18. Quero. I can't see justification for moving any of them more than 2-3 slots.

    This "analysis" doesn't consider the context of the offenses across MLB during the time these players played. If you do (and you only consider guys who had been the Brewers 1B for 3+ years) and you look at something like WAR, the order should go: 1. Cooper 2. Scott 3. Fielder 4. Sexson. beyond that, there were several guys who had one excellent year as a brewers' first basemen, but Greg Brock shouldn't be in the top 8 (his peak WAR was 1.8, and his other years were much worse). If you forced me to pick a 5th, I'd take John Jaha.

    As a NRI, sure.

    They are depth approximately of the Jason Alexander quality. Some of them might take a jump, but I'd keep them in AAA until they do.

    The Brewers said they were going to improve SP depth in the offseason. Miley was it. Now, they could still move someone if they get an offer they can't refuse--for any of the starters.

    Long-term contracts aren't set up to pay the player what he is worth each year. If they were, they'd be heavily incentive-laden (to an extent that the players' union probably doesn't allow). So, if a guy is making $16M in the last year, it functionally is (partially) deferred money that would have needed to be added to a shorter term contract. So the guy signs a 4 year $64M rather than a 3 year $57M contract. This is particularly true the longer the contract (6+ years), where the club knows it will be overpaying the last year or three.

    Thanks. I guess I don't know how serious a "meniscus cleanup" is and how likely it is to work. I know a couple of people who have had similar neck surgery, and while they live without pain, they have told me their neck never feels 100% either.
  17. Robocaller
    Does anyone have good information about his injuries? I know it was a neck and a knee, and both required surgery.
  18. Robocaller
    but this would give us 8, not 7 starting pitchers.

    we already have 7 starting pitchers. So unless you're talking about combining this with another trade with Woodruff or Burnes, I don't see it.

    Topa had as good of a chance as anyone for the last 3 or so bullpen slots. On a value-for-value basis, it seems OK, though Hernandez definitely won't contribute to the ML team in 2023 (and probably not 2024 either).
  23. Robocaller
    you were so confident of that you posted it twice. Of course the Brewers can do this. They can even tell Burnes, Woodruff or Peralta that they're the new closer. But I wanted you to tell me why you gave priority to Miley over Lauer.
  24. Robocaller
    I don't know where you got those numbers from. I expect a warm, dark, moist place. But either Frelick needs to get a "full year" of service to qualify for a draft pick, or he needs to be kept in the minors until after super two. But it's not a decision that has to be made on opening day. He can be brought up within two weeks of the season's start to qualify, and he can be demoted at any time if he shows he's unlikely to earn that draft pick.
  25. Robocaller
    What is your justification for prioritizing Miley before Lauer, who is better, younger, and wasn't injured most of 2022 as Miley was?
