Agreed. Quero is approaching top 100 status here with how young he remains and how well he's been hitting as a "glove-first" guy.

Yep. As a pure rental, Benintendi is simply not going to get into Wiemer/Frelick/Turang/Mitchell territory. Why I like him and his fit.

Go get Soto, Yankees. We'll just take Benintendi...
-
I know some people on here are not the biggest fans of Benintendi. However, I believe that he would be a great antidote for what ails this offense; namely, a lack of contact and situational hitting. Also, he gets on base at a really good rate and plays solid corner outfield defense. Basically, it would eliminate the need to ever have to play McCutchen in the outfield again and enable us to DH him less against RHP.
-
Other stats like defense and OPS relative to position matter a heck of a lot, too. See Adames, who has been one of the best SS in the NL this year despite a lower than hoped for OBP.
-
Just grading the starters? I would argue that Jace Peterson is effectively a starter and should get a grade of around B+/A- with the defensive value he has provided this year alongside a solid batting line. As such, I'm hoping they make him the regular 3B against RHP while moving Urias to 2B and benching Wong.

How dare you fray from the "offense=bad" path...

Please no. That Ryon Healy experience is right up there with the Mark Kotsay in CF experience...

Okay, let's look at your favorite stat of runs per game. Right now, the Brewers are 10th in MLB in that stat, in a virtual tie with the Cardinals and ahead of the Padres. Now, let's look at the advanced stat of WRC+. The Brewers are ranked 14th, just below teams such as the Giants and Phillies and ahead of the Padres. What does this mean? The Brewers are in fact, by the advanced stats and by the traditional stats, in the same general tier of MLB offenses as contenders such as the Padres, Giants, and Phillies...You can pound sand all you want, which is all you seem to want to do nowadays, but that's what the stats say right now. I believe that the offense does place them in a weaker position compared to teams like the Dodgers and Braves, but that it's not impossible for them to overcome that in a postseason series with arms like Burnes, Woodruff, Peralta (hopefully), Williams, Hader, etc. Had we gotten just an average level of offensive production last postseason, we likely would have been the ones advancing and not the Braves.

No defensive drop-off from Cain to him. That's for sure.

Article: The Airbender Needs to Go to LA
Brewcrew82 replied to Kyle Ginsbach's topic in Brewer Fanatic Front Page News
Great article. Like you've been reading my mind or something lol. Hoping it's similar to a 2018 situation where both Jeffress and Hader made the all star team, because you know Josh is a lock to go once again this year.... -

You should take a look at Corbin Burnes' Baseball Savant page from last year. And that was from a starting pitcher.... -

Tremendous article. There are definitely a few to whom I would recommend it. Keep up the good work!

Agree wholeheartedly on all counts. Just goes to show how we're lucky enough to be able to watch the best (healthy) starting pitcher and relief pitcher in all of baseball on a regular basis. When you consider our history of developing pitchers, it's all the more remarkable.

And has Attanasio given any indication whatsoever that he will be putting the team up for sale? All signs have been that he intends to keep the team within the family for the foreseeable future. So, I don't quite understand where you are getting that from, and why you are treating it as a matter of fact. Second, despite the constant relocation threats used in coaxing public financing for professional sports stadiums/arenas, they rarely actually end up coming to fruition. The A's and Ray's sagas have been going on for two decades now (virtually as long as Am Fam Field/Miller Park has been in existence), and yet both teams remain in their trash heap of stadiums (which AmFam field is currently not), with no resolution in immediate sight. The fact of the matter is that sports leagues such as MLB are loathe to relocate their teams, particularly where strong fan support for such team exists. That is clearly the case with the Brewers in Milwaukee. Third, the Brewers are far more of an engrained institution in the city and the state than the Bucks were at the time they secured public funding for Fiserv Forum. Obviously, the Packers will always remain king, but the Brewers are right there after them. When the time arrives for these discussions, there will be strong headwinds in favor of getting a deal done. If you ask me, while I appreciate the effort, this article is way too apocalyptic. The ballpark situation will sort itself out over time, and will almost certainly end with the Brewers staying put with either a renovated or brand new venue.

Let me just say that, unlike what the author seems to be hinting at, I don't see the Brewers moving anytime soon (if ever). If the Bucks, who are much less of an attraction in the state, can get a brand new state-of-the-art arena funded in part by taxpayers, I think there will be more than enough of a political and public will to get something done for the Brewers. Of course, I am not a huge fan of the concept of taxpayers subsidizing billion dollar corporations (which is what the Brewers are), but that is just the reality of the professional sports scene in 2022. The Brewers mean way too much to the state and to the city for any serious movement toward relocation to occur. Milwaukee and Wisconsin are nothing like Oakland and California or Tampa and Florida.
