    This. Frelick is an above average CF (55+ grade). He may not be quite at the level of a Garrett Mitchell, but he'll still accumulate plenty of positive defensive value at the position.
  2. Brewcrew82
    I honestly wouldn't mind a reunion with Taylor Rogers to help provide some assurance in the bullpen. His peripheral numbers remain quite strong, and he's only 32, compared to Kimbrel or Boxberger who are in their mid 30s.

    Or Wil Meyers for the OF and 1B. 6 LHH is fine against RHP, but it's not exactly going to help us get past this year's woes against LHP.

    They also said that contenders don't dabble in Rule 5 picks, when the Phillies, Padres, Mariners, Cardinals, and Mets all made selections this year, so I wouldn't listen to this particular poster for factual analysis on the Rule 5 draft...

    I wouldn't exactly say the Brewers "don't need" another OF like Varsho. Ideally, you would only want to rely on one rookie to hold down a starting spot. Yelich will be in LF, but as of now, we're looking at two rookies taking a significant share of starting opportunities at the other two spots. Varsho would be someone who could provide that veteran experience and would be a significant overall upgrade over Renfroe/Taylor as he produced a 5.0 WAR last season. I disagree that people want him simply because he's a "WI boy". He's just a really good ballplayer period who provides you with GG defense in RF and CF with the potential of a 30/20 season while being under team control for four more seasons. At the same time, the cost for Varsho will be quite high for these very reasons. And AZ is demanding non-OF prospects/players in return, which cuts against the strength of our farm system. Something like Ashby, Turang, and Quero would likely be required. Too steep of a price imo. I think we're better served signing a guy like Wil Meyers, a certified lefty masher, to a one year deal to rotate in the OF and 1B with our outfield prospects and Tellez. Taylor could then be traded for a reliever or two.

    Not bad. Not bad at all. Continue to be opportunistic on the hitting front (Turner, Meyers?), while focusing on adding a high-leverage option in the pen (Chafin, Rogers, etc.) and we should be pretty close to set.

    Good article! I honestly can't think of someone more qualified to highlight the Brewers' "overlooked" prospects than you, clancy. Anyways, I also continue hold out hope for Zavier Warren as his hit tool has been a favorite of mine ever since he was drafted. He struggled this year for sure, but his AFL performance hopefully means he's back on track as a multi-positional OBP specialist.
  8. Brewcrew82
    I don't think Varsho is a realistic option at this point. The asking price for him is justifiably sky high and I'm not sure we have the non-OF prospects necessary to get a deal done. Granted, I thought the same thing about Contreras, so I guess you never know...I'm a huge fan myself of Varsho's.
  9. Brewcrew82
    I think the safest assumption is that at least one of the young outfield prospects will fall short of expectations and that we won't have to worry much about an OF rotation/surplus. Mitchell and Wiemer are the most likely candidates in that sense due to the significant swing and miss in their respective profiles. Regardless, this situation will play out organically, and I doubt it will be as difficult a decision as some are anticipating.

    FWIW, Stripling signed with the Giants today for 2/25. Nice job on the contract numbers.
  11. Brewcrew82
    Aroldis Chapman is a huge no for me, especially at $12 million. Not only is he radioactive and a potential cancer in the clubhouse, but his velocity and peripheral numbers are on a sharp decline over the past few years. All he really has going for him at this point is past performance and reputation, which is quickly becoming a distant memory. If you're shelling out that kind of money for Chapman (and Stripling), why not just bring back Taylor Rogers, whose underlying numbers are a lot more promising than Chapman's?....
  12. Brewcrew82
    Probably because they still want a veteran to backup/mentor Shea Langeliers, the headliner of the Matt Olson trade last year.
  13. Brewcrew82
    Real question is will Ruiz spend more time in Oakland or Vegas?
  14. Brewcrew82
    Re. Ruiz and why I'm absolutely thrilled with this deal, other than getting Contreras in return.
  15. Brewcrew82
    Justin Turner would be the #1 target imo. Especially if we could get him on a 1-2 year deal... Drury is more of a risk imo as this year was pretty much an outlier for him, and he didn't play all that great for SD.
  16. Brewcrew82
    I wasn't here then, but not even the Yelich trade??
  17. Brewcrew82
    What's crazy is we could have literally given up just Ruiz for D'Arnaud, and I still would have been quite happy.
  18. Brewcrew82
    Glad to have you on board!
  19. Brewcrew82
    I think he's had an opportunity to force the issue for the Brewers, but he just hasn't done so. His defense still needs quite a bit of work and even his hitting isn't anything to write home about.
  20. Brewcrew82
    I wouldn't put it past the Brewers to improve Contreras' value defensively, especially after what we saw with Narvaez. Even so, I agree. This trade has little impact on Quero in the long run. If anything, we have less of an incentive to rush his development...
  21. Brewcrew82
    You let him continue to develop in the lower minors and wait for him to force the issue a la the Blue Jays. A really good "problem" to have.
  22. Brewcrew82
    Here's the only top 100 list I've seen with him in it...Even then, only listed at 92... https://www.justbaseball.com/prospects/2022-mlb-top-100-prospects/
  23. Brewcrew82
    I prefer Justin Turner. Hopefully we can get to him before the Marlins do as it's rumored they've made him an offer.
  24. Brewcrew82
    And in one fell swoop, Arnold tells Stearns to hold his beer with the Yelich trade...
  25. Brewcrew82
    I was banging the Danny Jansen drum quite a bit over the past couple weeks, but that's because I didn't think it was possible to turn Ruiz into Contreras. Contreras is the better player and such a huge upgrade for this team.
