    Woodruff being a year further into arb than Burnes is the big difference maker here. If Burnes was arb 3 not arb 2 then he would surely be getting more than Woodruff probably a notable amount more as well (talking multiple million)

    Arbitration process looks at your whole career not just what you’ve done recently.

    Woodruff should get more than Burnes. He's pitched 100 more innings, has a better career ERA, and is in his 3rd arb year compared to Burnes 2nd arb year. Brewers should have just given Burnes what he wanted (not like payroll is up and Mark is trying to save some money) but that doesn't mean Woodruff should be getting less than Burnes.

    Probably should have just given Burnes what he wanted when you’re only $740K apart but some people are making this out to be so much more than it has to be.

    Yeah around 2 WAR is definitely attainable for Rowdy. Last year Josh Bell had 123 wRC+ In 647 PA. His BsR was -5.6 leaving an offensive value at 11.3. His defensive value was -14.4. His fWAR was 2.0. That feels like something Rowdy could pull off with some better batted ball luck.
  6. wiguy94
    More than likely the latter. Agreeing to a settlement doesn’t exclude a team from signing the player to a long term extension (Devers is an example from this offseason). It’s likely Burnes thinks he can get more through the arb process than the Brewers were willing to offer. it would be pretty difficult for Rowdy to put up a 3 WAR season with how poor his baserunning/defense are. For reference Vlad Jr (who has the most comparable baserunning and defensive numbers to Rowdy among 1B) had 2.8 fWAR last year with a 132 wRC+ and 107 more PA than Rowdy. For Rowdy to get 3 WAR he would probably need to be around 135-140 wRC+ with a similar amount of PA as last year

    If Frelick had a 137 wRC+, Mitchell a 118 wRC+, Wiemer a 109 wRC+ and Turang a 108 wRC+ not a single Brewers fan would complain. If those 4 hit like that they would probably combine for 12-14 WAR and we would probably win 100 games.

    I don't even see the point mentioning Singleton. Singleton's career was derailed by his substance abuse issues. Who knows what he could have done if it wasn't for that.

    Fangraphs says he has an option, and I am inclined to believe them.
  10. wiguy94
    I think he’d be a good pick for the Brewers as a 4th OF. According to Fangraphs he still has an option as well. Mashes LHP and has an option to me is the perfect stopgap to save some service time on our rookies or fill in if they struggle.

    He still has an option according to Fangraphs. For that and the LHP mashing alone he’s worth being picked up.

    It’s funny that even in a bad year by Winker he managed an xwOBA of .345 which would have been second best on the Brewers behind Rowdy and was 34th among qualified MLB hitters. He’s a very good hitter with considerably more upside at the plate than any of the players we lost this year.
  15. wiguy94
    Yes but those are all just titles. Can the Brewers not be doing the same thing just with different titles? Did Stearns role change when he went from GM to POBO for us or was that just to prevent other teams from interviewing him for GM jobs?
  16. wiguy94
    Would the job description change with the title change? I don’t think so. Isn’t the whole POBO title used to prevent teams from interviewing your GM for their GM role?

    I mean we got 1 40 FV and 2 35+ FV prospects in the Renfroe trade compared to 1 40 FV prospect in the Topa trade. Junk is currently our 13th rated prospect by Pipeline compared to Hernandez at 27th. So I really wouldn’t say we got the better prospect in the Topa trade.

    Why do people continue to harp on Hiura being mismanaged? The one time all year that he got a steady run of games in August he absolutely tanked his numbers and was horrible. CC managed him really well (other than the continued AB against LHP) to get the production he did out of Hiura despite having the worst K% in the MLB.

    How does comparing it to teammates make it any better? It still doesn’t show any context. All the stat shows is how many balls were hit in a players catch radius. It doesn’t show quality of catch, the size of the catch radius. Stats are used to tell stories. The only story RF tells you is roughly how many baseballs were hit in a player’s vicinity. Nothing about the quality of defense they play.
  20. wiguy94
    It could but you literally have no way of knowing with RF making it ultimately useless.
  21. wiguy94
    Range Factor is probably the most useless stat I’ve seen. It’s literally put outs plus assists divided by innings played or games played. That does absolutely nothing to measure the quality of plays in CF. It just measure the quantity of plays in CF. It’s pretty much useless as a tool for evaluation because it includes absolutely zero context.
  22. wiguy94
    This is where a Justin Turner type signing makes sense. Balances that lineup so we don't have 6 LHH.
  23. wiguy94
    Was Hiura the number one prospect in baseball?

  25. wiguy94
    Why do you seriously doubt that? He’s the unanimous number one prospect in baseball who had a 125 wRC+ in 130 MLB PA as a young 21 year old.
