    Cards sure do love their geriatrics.... https://redbirdrants.com/posts/cardinals-will-discuss-a-contract-extension-with-paul-goldschmidt-01hhdtp0nc9n
  3. Brewcrew82
    Not really.
  4. Brewcrew82
    Of course not when you put it like that. But it matters in terms of their overall value. Frelick was comparable to Mitchell in CF in a similar number of innings. And we already saw the Brewers put Chourio in RF for Mitchell... Going to end this conversation now. I would not trade Frelick for Julien as Julien is due for a regression at the plate and does not provide value elsewhere like Frelick. I would trade Mitchell for Julien but I don't think the Twins take that deal.
  5. Brewcrew82
    They wouldn't fight the bigger markets exacerbating their competitive advantage on the field??? I think they would.
  6. Brewcrew82
    Small market owners would be the ones fighting this.
  7. Brewcrew82
    Power.... And he's a good defensive CF himself. Not that different from Mitchell.
  8. Brewcrew82
    MLB should really void the deal, but they can't.... Wish the owners and players would work together for the good of the game for once instead of the good of their wallets.
  9. Brewcrew82
    So, he can play there! Frelick is better fit in CF, for now. Yelich in LF Frelick in CF Chourio in RF. Wiemer obviously profiles best there, but we don't know if he can hit at a major league level yet.
  10. Brewcrew82
    Maybe because that's where the Brewers put him in AAA? And Yelich is still in LF...If Corbin Carroll can play there.... Plus I think it would benefit him to have less defensive responsibility early on so he can focus on adjusting at the plate. Mostly I don't trust Wiemer or Mitchell to hit enough at the major league level right now.
  11. Brewcrew82
    I'm probably putting Frelick in CF and Chourio in RF to start the season.... Neither am I too worried about his power yet considering he had a thumb injury. Concerns with Wiemer and Mitchell are much bigger and more fundamental. We need Frelick's floor.
  12. Brewcrew82
    Frelick had a thumb injury this year. I believe his 2022 ISO #s are more representative of his power. I would be more inclined to trade Wiemer and Mitchell. Their concerns are much more worrying.
  13. Brewcrew82
    50.2 GB%....
  14. Brewcrew82
    Semantics. They both overperformed to a significant degree... Why would you trade Frelick for a Julien who produces more in line with what Steamer is projecting from him? If he hit the ball a little harder and in the air more to be more of a 3 TO hitter, I might consider it, but otherwise you're looking an on base specialist who can't field and doesn't give you any value on the base-paths. Frelick has his own power questions, but otherwise gives you value everywhere else on the field and at a premium position if you needed him there.
  15. Brewcrew82
    Yeah, it's quite possible Wilken comes back and kills AA pitching like he did which would make a call-up at some point all but certain.
  16. Brewcrew82
    I would trade Mitchell or Wiemer for Julien, but I doubt the Twins go for that right now. Maybe revisit next winter.
  17. Brewcrew82
    Julien makes more contact than Hiura did, but certainly not better contact,,,, I'm strictly comparing their rookie seasons because that's all we have to go on from Julien right now.
  18. Brewcrew82
    Not every patient hitter carries a 30+% K rate, though....And as I said, Hiura hit the ball harder than Julien so that helps cancel things out. I don't believe I said it was a perfect comparison. Point is both overperformed their peripherals during their rookie seasons, and don't have defense/baserunning to fall back on to compensate. Julien likely to have a softer landing than Hiura did due to his on base ability, but something close to his Steamer projection seems likely. Not worth trading for Frelick who gives you value across the board and is a safer bet than our other outfielders.
  19. Brewcrew82
    Hiura's rookie K rate was actually better than Julian's, though...And he hit the ball harder. Regardless, I would not trade Julien's expected or projected production with the bat (which is where he gets all of his value from) for Sal Frelick,
  20. Brewcrew82
    I already acknowledged that one big difference is Julien walks a lot more than Hiura. But then Hiura has superior power... Meanwhile, ways in which they're similar are worrisome. Huge K and whiff rates. Stellar rookie season propped up by high BABIP/batted ball luck. Iffy/awful defense which leads to profile being entirely dependent on bat, etc. I don't think Julien will bottom out like Hiura did due to his on base ability, but I also don't think the Julien we saw last year is representative of the Julien we'll get moving forward. His Steamer projection looks about right to me: .239/.357/.399 1.8 fWAR in 543 PAs I would not trade that for Frelick....
  21. Brewcrew82
    I’d definitely do number 2. Would do number 1 if we trade Adames. 3 is more up in the air for me. Julien had a terrific season last year which we could certainly use in our lineup, but id be pretty nervous about him turning into another Keston Hiura. Julien walks more than Hiura, but other than that the similarities are pretty terrifying. So, I’d probably pass as I value Frelick 2nd to Chourio among our OF prospects.
  22. Brewcrew82
    Some pretty hefty competition for Chourio....
  23. Brewcrew82
    I think it increases their willingness to part with the necessary prospects for Burnes. Friedman has also been a prospect hoarder to an extent, so this deal helps counteract that by making them more desperate to win a WS with the Betts, Freeman, Ohtani core. Of course, the same also applies to Glasnow and Cease, so we'll see. I don't see them being involved with Yamamoto now.
  24. Brewcrew82
    This is triple what Attanasio paid for the entire Brewers franchise....
  25. Brewcrew82
    Incredible. But I guess that's what you pay for the modern day Babe Ruth... Man, JP Morosi is going to be public enemy #1 in Toronto...
