  1. Rowdy Tellez is the one who's a defensive liability at 1B...
  2. Again, Miller has been one of the best defensive 1B in the game the last two years in 800 innings. He's not a defensive liability. That's a fallacy that keeps getting repeated.
  3. Not as much Wiemer because he's shown the power and the ability to hit it hard. Turang doesn't hit it hard, isn't walking, and is striking out a ton. The latter two are particularly concerning as those are things he did really well and was known for in the minors...
  4. Miller is a quality big league 1B (defensively). He just didn't make the play. Willy, a GG caliber SS, also didn't make a great throw.
  5. I am super skeptical of Brice Turang's ability to be a major league hitter.
  6. Miller got it, but it should've gone to Adames.
  7. Because picking short hoppers is just one of the things that makes a good first baseman.
  8. I have no confidence in this Schwarber at-bat.
  9. What's so frustrating is how they followed up that 30 pitch inning with a 7 pitch inning...
  10. Yeah. I’m not saying Miller should be our 1B because his bat isn’t good enough. I’m just saying that Hiura probably isn’t our solution there, either. He’d be better off at DH.
  11. Who would you swap for bullpen arms? I think we should be pretty happy with how our bullpen is set up right now. Also, trades are rare this far out from the deadline due to the prices. Prices come down closer to the deadline and that’s when trades will happen.
  12. We'd probably benefit more from playing Bellinger at 1B instead of Owen Miller.
  13. The same thing applies if you extend it across the 800 innings he's played there the last two seasons. It's been his most frequent position in the majors. He's got excellent range for a first baseman and has gotten to balls that Rowdy could never dream of getting to. "Eye test" is deceiving, because he's been unable to scoop up a couple of throws, whereas Rowdy was generally able to do that well. But there's much more to fielding the position.
  14. That's a fallacy. Among players with 150 innings at 1B this year, Miller is #1 in Fangraphs dWAR, #2 in UZR/150, top 10 in OAA, and top 12 in DRS. He's quite literally been among the best fielding first basemen in baseball.
  15. I like that lineup better than last night. Still nothing special, but better w/o Winker and Turang.
  16. Thing I said about NYY applies a lot to MKE and Am Fam, too. He can have success at a ballpark like that given his approach and negate some, if not a lot, of the expected regression. Case in point, he's got a .333/.391/.581 slash in MKE... I wouldn't give up any of our top 5 prospects for him, but you could maybe convince me to part with a Carlos Rodriguez or EBJ.
  17. Something tells me he’s going to get traded to the Yankees and negate a lot of that expected regression due to that ballpark's short porch and his heavy pull-side fly ball approach.
  18. To be fair, Counsell cares about defense, (as he should given our roster construction), and Hiura is an absolute butcher in the field. And it's not like Hiura (post-2019) has been that much better of a hitter than Miller. xWOBA's from the last two season are very similar and Miller makes a ton more contact than Hiura.

Jackson ChourioJacob MisiorowskiJeferson QueroSal FrelickTyler BlackLuis LaraRobert GasserBrock WilkenAbner UribeCarlos F RodriguezEric Brown JrYophery RodriguezCooper PrattJosh KnothDaniel GuilarteEric BitontiRobert MooreMike BoeveHendry MendezLogan Henderson This farm system is in such great shape. Best it's been since we were briefly ranked #1 in 2016. And we haven't had to go through a full teardown like we did then.
  20. Turang falls WELL short of Adames on offense. And Adames’ defense has been better than Turang’s at a more premium position. Theres no equal value to be had between the two right now.
  21. This is ridiculous. Bring up Black. Bring up Urias.
