Exhibit A of why we should take ST results with a grain of salt. Junis almost exclusively threw fastballs today and barely went to his slider, which he threw more than 60% of the time last year.
-
ST mostly meaningless, but noteworthy the pitchers those 3 hits came off of. Webb (x2), Rogers. Those are tough ABs for a 19 year old, even in the spring.
-
And your "eye test" is significantly more reliable?
-
Pitching sucks for sure. Devin Williams can't even get through an inning. What a bum!
-
They're at least based on objective evidence compared to that CBS writer's completely subjective list. Projections like that aren't supposed to predict outliers, which is what you're talking about.

Brewers Still In the Market For Rotation Depth?
Brewcrew82 replied to wiguy94's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Clevinger's xFIP from last year is a little scary. That said, he's a guy who's pretty much always solidly outperformed his peripherals. Doesn't K as many guys as he used to, but velo is still there and control is solid. I'd take him on a 1 year deal or something. Lorenzen I'd have less interest in. Last year was pretty much a career year in terms of health. And he's got the same peripherals, but without the history of overperformance of Clevinger. -
This is probably better to look at.... https://www.fangraphs.com/depthcharts.aspx?position=SP
-
His peripherals were solid. He was the victim of bad luck. But he's not that pitcher right now, so we'll see.
-
He's coming off injury and is just getting velocity back. Gonna take time.
-
Forgettable day at the plate for Chourio and Black. Good thing they have time and youth on their side! Especially in Chourio's case.
-
Joey Ortiz bomb! I'll say it again, but I think he can give us Jeremy Pena value. With a little less power, but a little more contact.
-
I think we're close to our first Chourio homer of the spring. He just barreled his last flyball and went deep to right the one before. Just getting a little too much air on them right now. Love the opposite field oriented approach. And the lightning quick bat speed.
-
Man if he can stick as a starter we may have gotten ourselves 6 more seasons of ace pitching for 1 year of an ace. Plus an Adames replacement and a 1st round draft pick!

Quero prospect trade
Brewcrew82 replied to Scooterfletcher's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Quero is only 21 and evaluators have already labeled him the best defensive catcher in the minors. Defense gives you a major league floor on its own. Add to that elite for age EV and solid contact numbers and you've got a potential star. Catcher prospects are more hit or miss for sure, but Quero is as safe as it really gets for a 21 year old. And an extension gets you his prime years at a reduced cost. -
Frelick isn't a bopper, but he has enough power to be around a 2-3 win player on average (which he was on pace to do last year). Lingering thumb injury really sapped him of his power last year and his ability to turn on inside pitches as he had done successfully in the minors. With Mitchell and Wiemer, it's are they going to be able to make enough contact for the other parts of their game to even matter? Mitchell has an additional concern with his ability to elevate the baseball... Obviously you have to give those guys opportunities on the chance they do figure it out, but I think Frelick will prove the best value in the OF at the end of the day. Not a star, but a well above average MLB player.
-
Quero's arm is as advertised.
-
Difference is I think Frelick can actually hit in the bigs and I'm very much skeptical of the other two. Still a lot of time, but I think the team might eventually be best served by just riding with a Yelich-Chourio-Frelick OF.
-
What a catch by Sal to rob Trout. I honestly don't think you can take him out of the OF.

Quero prospect trade
Brewcrew82 replied to Scooterfletcher's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Better play is to trade Contreras in a couple years for a haul to keep the pipeline flowing. -
-
Chourio exits prospect ranking season (likely for the final time) as the consensus #2 prospect in baseball (among the 6 major outlets) behind Jackson Holliday and the highest ranked Brewers prospect of all time. Gary Sheffield, his only other real competitor, just predated the rankings era. https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/mlb-top-prospects-rankings-2024

Guy was masquerading as a Cubbie his entire life. Good riddance and will thoroughly enjoy every Brewers W over the Cubs for the rest of his tenure, however long it lasts.
-
I just don't see Frelick at 3B for a meaningful amount of time. 2B could be a different story, but 3B is a bit of a stretch imo. If I had to guess right now, Frelick still sees the majority of the season in the OF.
-
I think he's going to keep the foot on the gas pedal and force his way up eventually. Hits the ball too hard to be in the minors for long. Unless he runs into contact issues, but so far so good on that front.
