  1. What an underwhelming return. Ortiz hits the ball hard but can't hit the ball in the air. Hall has incredible stuff but really shaky command. I think Hall is a sure thing MLB RP, but Ortiz has plenty of question marks and he's already 25 years old.
  2. I mean Ortiz and Hall is incredibly underwhelming so I really hope there is more to this trade.
  3. I'm hoping Baltimore's new owners wanted a flashy move and told the GM to do whatever it takes to make it happen
  4. Patrick wasn't even a signing. We traded Toro for him.
  5. Topa and Wilson have the same amount of team control. Better numbers? They had practically the same ERA but Topa did it in much higher leverage with dramatically better peripherals. Topa - 2.61 ERA, 2.93 xERA, 3.15 FIP, 3.55 xFIP, 3.47 SIERA, 1.90 WPA Wilson - 2.58 ERA, 3.98 xERA, 4.13 FIP, 4.72 xFIP, 4.31 SIERA, 1.32 WPA Wilson had a marginally better ERA but look at the gap in those peripherals, so no Wilson was not better than Topa.
  6. You're definitely underrating what Minnesota got. Topa is way better than Wilson. Houser is better and cheaper than Desclafani. Gonzalez is a top 100/fringe top 100 prospect. Bowen is a guy with good stuff and has some industry hype.
  7. Have to win ROY to get the pick not top 3.
  8. The unofficial retiring of Gantner's number might be the most unserious thing I've ever seen. Either retire his number or don't. He retired 30 freaking years ago. Enough with this madness.
  9. Does that even make the Brewers better? I can easily see a world where Burnes and Black combine for more WAR than Polanco and Cease. Hard, hard pass, but I understand why the Cubs fan would want this trade to happen.
  10. Silly Brewers. They should have forced Hoskins to sign a longer contract than he wanted. Pretty clear Hoskins wanted a pillow type contract and not a 3-4 year deal for less AAV.
  11. I get you’re also a Twins fan but saying Nathan is the equivalent to Wagner is just flat out not close to reality. Wagner is one of the best RP ever. Wagner had a 54 ERA- and 63 FIP- for his career. Nathan had a 67 ERA- and 79 FIP- for his career. On a rate basis Wagner is the 2nd best RP in MLB history behind Rivera. Nathan isn’t even close to that class.
  12. Bryce Harper moved to 1B and they already have Schwarber and Castellanos who are awful in the OF and will likely spend a lot of time at DH. So basically just nowhere for Hoskins to play unless you want Schwarber and Castellanos in the OF every day.
  13. My understand is we could give him a QO. Would be fantastic to get a great year out of Hoskins and also a comp pick.
  14. HECK FREAKING YEAH!
  15. You want the Brewers to spend less?
  16. Southern League average CS% was 22%. I don't know why you continue to do this. You've done it with Baez despite being told over and over again he's not a SS. You're doing it here with Clarke. Stop it.
  17. Wes Clarke will never be anything more than an MLB 3rd catcher or emergency catcher. He’s a 1B/DH at the MLB level.
  18. Until Wagner gets in K-Rod shouldn't be considered for the HoF.
  19. Brewers should go after Votto in 1 scenario and that's it. If they decide to trade Adames, Williams, and Burnes and basically have 2024 be a 1-year rebuild. Votto can come in as a fan interest tool and vet locker room guy for a young team. If the plan is to win the Brewers shouldn't go near Votto.
  20. Juan Baez was signed for $10K and is a ranked prospect. I believe Uribe signed for a small amount.
  21. Here's our positional WAR last year and the ZiPS projections for 2024. fWAR for position prospects and rWAR for pitchers. C - 6.2 -> 2.8 (-3.7) 1B - -0.6 -> 0.7 (+1.3) 2B - 0.5 -> 1.5 (+1.0) SS - 3.1 -> 4.1 (+1.0) 3B - 1.2 -> 1.9 (+0.7) LF - 5.9 -> 1.9 (-4.0) CF - 3.3 -> 1.9 (-1.4) RF - 0.4 --> 2.0 (+1.6) DH - -1.6 -> 0.7 (+2.3) SP - 15.8 -> 12.8 (-3.0) RP - 8.6 -> 4.7 (-3.9) Safe to say ZiPS is not a fan of the 2024 Brewers.
  22. If that's what WAR this team gets out of LF and C we are going to finish 4th in the NLC. Last year C got us 6.2 fWAR and LF got us 5.9 fWAR.
  23. She was Manager of Baseball Technologies at Driveline lol. You really put in an effort to look into it.
  24. Before making ignorant comments you should probably look at what Driveline actually does. Has nothing to do with "sabermetrics"
