Hope is that his pull rate can counteract his lack of pop. But, yeah, those EV #s are almost identical to Sal Frelick's.
-
That's actually not too bad considering they tend to be more on the conservative side. His eye at the plate definitely gives him a solid floor.
-
It's definitely exciting to watch. I think the one remaining hole they have to address is to find a way to replace Adames' power in the lineup. At least with Durbin in tow they're not necessarily pigeonholed into trying to get it from the IF.
-
Fried probably squeezed him out. Cole, Fried, Rodon, Schmidt, Gil is their 5.
-
FWIW, Yankees fans not big on losing Durbin. Apparently, Cashman said he was a candidate to replace Gleyber as the starting 2Bman.
-
Hader also had an extra .5 year of control as well. I'm satisfied with the return. We needed some insurance in the rotation and Cortes is as solid as it gets. Durbin is the wild card, but have to like his fit on this team in terms of skillset.
-
I'm not convinced they plan on simply installing Durbin at 2B. I think it's more about adding to the IF depth which took a hit with Adames leaving and giving them options in navigating the rest of the offseason. Maybe they feel more comfortable going after Alonso/Goldschmidt now?
-
Nestor is a middle of the rotation starter. Have you seen what the going rate for that is on the open market? Durbin is an MLB ready prospect that we can add to the infield mix and who fits like a glove with the team-wide philosophy of getting on base and speed. Bottom line is Devin had a single year of control as a reliever. Middle of the rotation starter>elite reliever.
-
I actually think this has Yankees written over it as a replacement for Soto, and they’d probably be the front runners to resign him.
-
I actually don't think the White Sox will be that interested in Quero as a headliner given the injury and the fact that they already have a top 100 catcher named Quero of their own in AAA (Edgar). Pratt makes the most sense for them as a headliner if we assume (I sincerely hope) that Made is untouchable. Then throw in one of our controllable OFers so that their FO can have something to show their fans and improve a horrific MLB roster. So, either Mitchell or Frelick. Plus at least one more high upside prospect from the lower levels. Think Bitonti, Payne, Yophery Rodriguez. Now, would I give that up if I were the Brewers? It's a tough call. Losing Garrett or Sal off the MLB roster would sting, but FA remains wide open with several potential replacements available some of whom possess the improved power this team could use. Pratt hurts the most as I currently have him pegged as our SS of the future. But remember we still have Ortiz and Turang under control for 4-5 seasons each and also Made and Pena not too far behind Pratt. Bitonti, Payne, Rodriguez, etc. all have high upside, but remain a ways away. Overall, I think it comes down to how good you think Crochet will be over those two remaining years of control for a young, contending team that could use a top of the rotation type starter. For the record, I think IF HEALTHY (which is a risk in and of itself) Crochet is a top 5 starter in baseball, which would be worth it imo.
-
Yeah, this is probably it. Pratt obviously would sting the most. I'd have to imagine the White Sox would try to get a Bitonti or a Payne included in this deal alongside Pratt. Made is untouchable for obvious reasons. I will say that we as Brewers fans should probably get over our prospect hugging a bit. Guys like Chourio and Made aren't necessarily easily replaceable, but this FO has developed an infrastructure that now continually churns out high level talent through the draft and through the international market particularly. I would hate to lose a Pratt or a Yophery Rodriguez, but we'd still have Made, Pena, Bitonti, Payne, etc to go with our new signing class and then our 5 top 70 picks in the upcoming draft. Bottom line is we really shouldn't get too hung up over specific names (most of whom won't pan out to begin with) and instead trust this FO's ability to replenish what is lost. Same with San Diego which gave up big hauls for Soto, Darvish, yet has guys DeVries, Salas, etc. now making their way through the ranks.
-
Makes it even better that he wins one before Greg.
-
Who might this describe??
-
Honestly, I'm not trading Devin to the Dodgers unless we're able to fleece them pretty good. So, not even for "fair value". They're already very likely to pick up Adames and last thing we need is to give them a shutdown closer on top of that. Unfortunately, a fleece is unlikely to happen given their savvy FO, so I'd prefer to talk to other teams or play the Dodgers to increase bids from other teams. My expectations are lower for an offseason trade, but the possibility of a bidding war is nice to think about.

Marcus Semien and his contract
Brewcrew82 replied to Scooterfletcher's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I think that's too big of a contract for this small market team given the TV revenue uncertainty. Also, dude is 34 years old and we'd be getting his declining years. Rangers would have to eat a good chunk of that contract, which effectively defeats the purpose of putting him on the market in the first place. -
Awww, poor Yankees haven't been in a WS for 15 years. Give me a break.
-
Modern day Ted Williams.... I hate both teams, but Yankees-Dodgers should be an incredible World Series with all that star power.
-
That bat speed is crazy.
-
This is guts to leave Bibee in facing Judge for a 3rd time as the go ahead run.
-
Never pay a closer.....
-
So clutch by Judge and Stanton against Clase. 18 degree launch angle HR by Judge.
-
I would say he has a shot. Though, hitting, OAA, and the small market factor may work against him. If Lindor was a finalist, I would say he'd be the favorite. Probably between Turang, Bailey, Swanson, and Chapman.
-
I think Chourio splitting time between LF and RF probably took him out of the running. He was definitively the best defensive RFer in the league by DRS until he shifted over to LF in the aftermath of Yelich's injury and ended up playing most of his innings there.
-
Lmao Winker.
-
Dodgers' lineup firing on all cylinders now. And I don't think there's any team left in the postseason that can stop them. Probably going to add Adames to their lineup next season, too.
