    I don’t know if this will have any impact on the Brewers or not but it’s a really dumb rule.
  2. wiguy94
    DH and 1B. Both are part time OF not guys who would start consistently in the OF if there were injuries.
  3. wiguy94
    Yes the OF situation is a bit testy right now. You’re a Garrett Mitchell injury away from someone like Perkins, Lockridge, Baddoo, or Black getting every day reps. I’ve been a vocal fan of Perkins but he’s certainly at his best getting ideal matchups and being a late inning defensive replacement.

    Pretty sure almost every Brewers fan who frequents a site like this could have told you who Collins was a year ago. I mean he literally was on the 40-man and got some late season PA in 2024.
  5. wiguy94
    Awesome article Jack. Love the visual aid in explaining his lack of deception. Hopefully Brewers have a good fix for that.
  6. wiguy94
    Yeah Mears stuff dropped off big time last year. He had 69 stuff (20-80 scale) by pitching bot and 120 stuff+ by stuff+ in his brief Brewers sample in 2024. Last year that dropped off 53 and 100 respectively so right around average. This was a guy who was left off the roster in the NLCS because the Brewers didn't view him as a leverage option. Maybe the stuff bounces back next year but he was always a pretty easy guy to see get traded this offseason considering he had no options remaining.

    I'm just sad that Collins was traded but such is the business of MLB. Don't get attached to Brewers players.
  8. wiguy94
    Chase rate has literally nothing to do with missing bats? I just showed you he had 49th percentile whiff rate and 36th percentile K-rate so yes he didn’t miss bats.
  9. wiguy94
    Signing Akil Baddoo then turning around and trading Isaac Collins would make me very sad

    Pretty crazy to jump from a DSL pitching coach where you're coaching extremely raw 17 and 18 year old pitchers to an MLB assistant pitching coach.
  11. wiguy94
    That description of Mears is just not accurate to describe who he was in 2025. His 95.4 mph FB was below the 95.6 mph average from RHRP in 2025. His 25% whiff rate was 49th percentile and his 20.7% K-rate was 36th percentile.

    @Jack Stern you likely have a better feel on this stuff having access to the coaches/clubhouse but do you think there's an aversion to splitters and kick changeups from the Brewers? Since the splitter has really taken off again the last few years the Brewers consistently have been at or near the bottom of the league in splitter usage and I don't believe anyone in the org throws a kick change (maybe Bryce Meccage does but he was throwing one before he was drafted).
  13. wiguy94
    I certainly hope that's not true of Lockridge considering they traded a pretty decent prospect to get Lockridge not even half a year ago. Wouldn't surprise me if it was true of Berroa and Black but I thought both of those guys were DFA (Berroa) or trade (Black) candidates this offseason to clear up 40-man space for upgrades as they were excess on the 40.
  14. wiguy94
    Very bizarre signing when the Brewers already have a couple AAAA OF types on their 40
  15. wiguy94
    The Yankees wouldn't trade Schlittler straight up for Peralta.
  16. wiguy94
    I mean some of these guys surely don't have much of a future in this org beyond org depth. Leaving them off AAA roster so they can go to an org that might value them more is just goodwill to the players. Guys like Peterson, Warren, Spain, Perez are all guys who probably didn't have much of a future here. Especially so on Peterson and Warren who are well down the pecking order of pitching prospects and corner IF prospects.

    I can pretty certainly say the Brewers will not be getting a Top 20 prospect in baseball for 2 years of Trevor Megill.
  18. wiguy94
    Yeah I'm a bit confused about those comments as well. For his career, Ashby has an 8.2% BB-rate as a RP which is actually above average by RP standards. It's at 7.9% as a RP the last two seasons. I think the perfect role for Ashby is in the early Josh Hader role where he's basically a relief ace. You let him be a multi-inning fireman. I just don't think Ashby has the control to be a SP and his velo drops off a bit as a SP as well. I think even in a Hader role that Ashby would be valuable at this contract amount and that he would still have good trade value if you decided to trade him before those two club option years kick in. By the way these are Ashby's numbers as a RP the last two years. 54 G, 84.1 IP, 2.03 ERA, 2.88 xERA, 2.31 FIP, 2.72 xFIP, 2.65 SIERA, 29.7% K-rate, 7.9% BB-rate, 21.8% K-BB rate, 60% GB-rate, 3.4% barrel rate Those are just out of this world numbers. The combination of K-BB rate, ground ball rate, and barrel rate is basically everything you could ever want in a pitcher. This is a Top 5 RP in baseball profile.

    That Marte trade does not feel realistic at all. Marte is a legitimate superstar and they would likely want significantly more upside in return if they were trading him especially if they were sending money as well.

    I don’t buy it. I think the Pirates are leaking their interest and offers to avoid a grievance from the MLBPA. I don’t sincerely think they are pursuing Schwarber. Oh you can’t file a grievance against us. We tried to sign FA but nobody would sign here.
  21. wiguy94
    Honestly don’t think I even agree with the premise of the article. The Dodgers to me are clearly the best fit for Buxton. They need OF help and have shown they aren’t particularly scared to take on players that have injury history. They showed last year that they can make the playoffs in spite of mass injury issues. I think they would love a player like Buxton.

    I believe Uribe is another guy who gets really good seam shifted wake on both his sinker and slider. Edit: Found the tweet from pitch profiler. Supposedly Uribe's sinker had the 2nd most seam shifted wake among MLB pitchers this season

    Sounds like the road grays are the ones being replaced and supposedly there were will be a new city connect as those rotate every 3 years I guess? Road - Powder Blue, Navy Blue Home - Cream, Pinstripe City Connect - TBD I agree with the consensus that gray pants with the powder blue was a miss. Should have gone full powder blue. I also think I would have preferred keeping the road grays as the secondary road jersey not the Navy Blue.

    To be fair you could have crossed Basallo off the list even before they signed him to that extension. Basallo was like a consensus Top 10 prospect in baseball before he debuted. I don't think any team at this point in time is going to trade a consensus Top 10 prospect with full team control for 1 year of a good/very good not great SP
  25. wiguy94
    He has used 2 of his 3 option years so only one option year remaining.
