The Top Brewers Rookie Of 2023
Brewcrew82 replied to Harold Hutchison's topic in Brewer Fanatic Front Page News
Yeah. Uribe and Frelick have to be the top 2 here.... -
Garver is more of a DH. He wouldn't replace Contreras at all.
-
Dodgers might be done with their starting pitching situation. It's a shame we had to have the series vs. the Dbacks we did, because I suspected this might happen with the Dodgers being more vulnerable than usual.
-
I wanted the Dbacks over the Marlins, as I thought the Marlins were the better bet to be that team.
-
I'd also see if you can rip Abel or Painter off Dombrowski and the Phils, who are going to lose Kimbrel in the offseason.
-
I'd take Mayo or Basallo from the Orioles, who are going to be without Bautista for the next year.
-
Their run prevention unit is actually preventing runs. The Brewers' unit, which was the best in the league all season, faltered at the worst time. That's the biggest difference right now. Brewers actually hit pretty well against the D-backs. They just fell victim to bad luck and timely defense by the D-backs.
-
Garver and Hoskins are FAs who would be the best of both worlds. Tellez's complete loss of power this year was a real killer.
-
Easy solution is to go with the 2020 playoff format. We all know MLB is never going to reduce the field or the number of games.
-
Mitch Garver is someone I'd be interested in on a reasonable deal. Can play 1B, C and DH as the right-handed compliment to Yelich. Dude crushes the ball and gets on base.
-
I don’t know if I’d call Lux average. Or at least the latest version of him we saw in 2022. Id hope it’d be the trade market because the FA pool for MIfers is the worst it’s ever been.
-
Sure. But Turang is waving a wet noodle with the bat (and not showing many positive signs) and his defense isn't as good at SS. And Monasterio's not exactly great with the glove or the bat. Why I don't want to trade Adames in the first place, but if we did, I'd want another major league MIfer in return because no way am I comfortable with Turang and Monasterio as our MI.
-
Well, if the Orioles aren't motivated for Burnes now....
-
Arcia: 99 wRC+ in 2023 Lux: 99 career wRC+ (114 wRC+ in 2022) Grissom: 107 career wRC+ Turang: 60 wRC+ in 2023 Monasterio: 88 wRC+ in 2023 If Grissom "failed miserably" (he didn't in 2022 btw), then what do you call what Turang did this year?
-
If you're referring to what I said, Arcia would replace Adames as a bridge to Turang and our other prospects. Not as the main piece of the trade, as we'd obviously expect one of the Braves' top prospects in addition. Unless you're comfortable with Turang and Monasterio as our middle infield....I, for one, am not. And Arcia has more than one year left. He's under control through 2025, with a club option for 2026.
-
You're still ignoring the fact that the Brewers would almost certainly have to eat a significant chunk of Yelich's salary in any trade....That eats away at your "savings".
-
I don't think there's any guarantee Turang is better than Arcia future wise. Or at least the version of Arcia from the past two seasons. Turang was pitiful this year, and didn't show many, if any, positive signs with the bat. Maybe you could get away with it if we had above average offensive production from 2B, but as of right now you'd be looking at Monasterio there... So, I'd definitely want a major league middle infielder in any Adames trade.
-
I'd take one of their MLB ready arms for Burnes.
-
I do have stats, actually... 2023: 2 (Scherzer and Verlander, who said he'd only waive his NTC for one team, the Astros) 2022: 0 2021: 1 (Scherzer again) 2020: 0 2019: 0 And this doesn't even include all of the deals that were nixed because of a NTC and or are never even pursued because of the presence of a NTC. Bottom line: it's rare. As for Yelich's $26 million, it's definitely less than 1/4 or 1/5 of the payroll. Furthermore, it's an opportunity cost-type situation. If the Brewers traded Yelich to rid themselves of his contract, they'd still have to find a way to replace his production, which this year was worth 4.1 fWAR, second best on the team. The cost for that sort of production would be at least $20 million if they tried to plug the resulting hole in FA, in which case they'd save very little to no money to upgrade the rest of the roster. We have young OF talent that we could go to instead, but that's still asking a lot for them to replicate Yelich's production and could ultimately negate any upgrades made to the rest of the roster due to the cost savings from a trade. Moreover, the Brewers would almost certainly have to eat a significant portion of Yelich's salary in any trade. As I've been saying, the incentive is relatively low for the Brewers to trade Yelich at this point and his possession of a full NTC renders it improbable to where there's little point in discussing it.
-
82 Cardinals, too. Every team that's eliminated the Brewers from the postseason has gone onto the WS at least.
-
Brice Turang: 60 wRC+ Orlando Arcia: 99 wRC+ Obviously not as the main piece, but either him or Grissom would have to be involved imo.
-
Believe it or not, Willy is a huge breakout/bounceback candidate for next year. He's trimmed his K rate each of the last three seasons while simultaneously improving his walk rate, which was at 11.1% this season. He also dramatically underperformed his xwOBA. It's not a stretch to think he could put up a 5 or 6 WAR season next year in a contract season. Why I'm inclined to hold him at least until the deadline.
-
We better get Vaughn Grissom, Orlando Arcia, or Gavin Lux back in such a deal because no way am I comfortable going into next season with Brice Turang and Andruw Monasterio as our middle infield.
-
Figured we could use a thread to discuss the rest of the postseason... I'm sure what's on most people's minds right now is that 7 spot the Dbacks have put on the Dodgers in the first two innings. Still early in the series, but it's incredible how we always get matched up with that one team that plays out of their mind once the playoffs begin. Also, the mighty Braves got shut out by Ranger Suarez and co. Suarez had comparable numbers this season to Colin Rea, who the Braves absolutely lit up. Takeaway: I hate baseball.
-
Are they? Because it’s actually pretty rare a guy with a full NTC such as Yelich gets traded. And they would most certainly have to eat some of Yelich’s salary if they would plan on getting anything back in such a deal. Yelich’s contract isn’t preventing them from doing much of anything considering he’s effectively their only major long-term financial commitment. It’s not like we’re ever going to be major players in FA anyways. Just so little incentive for the Brewers to trade Yelich and unlikely to the point it’s not worth discussing.
