    Padres extending a 36 year old to a 6 year deal to lower the AAV to reduce their tax payments? Still feels like a weird deal to make. There's a world where they are eating 3 years of $16M each for a guy to be retired. They are just going all in on a championship in the next few years.

    Ashby seemingly a lock to start the season in the pen. 6-man rotation of Burnes, Woodruff, Freddy, Lauer, Houser, Miley to start the season.

    The best hope for the OBP to improve is the articles saying Taylor will be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the shift ban are correct. He's just never going to be a guy with a good walk rate, so the only way to improve the OBP will be through improving the BA.

    Woodruff didn't have an arm injury. He had a sprained ankle and issues with Raynaud's syndrome.

    Burnes pitched 145 innings in 2017 as a 22-year-old in the minors which is more than Freddy has ever pitched in a single year. Burnes also has a prototypical SP build at 6'3", 225 pounds compared to Freddy who is small by SP standards at 5'11", 199 pounds.

    It will be interesting to see how CC plans to use our improved SP depth this year. I know he has already committed to DW being the closer, but I hope he uses our improved depth to be super flexible with our pitchers outside of DW, Burnes, and Woodruff. That could be piggyback starts, skipping starts, bullpen stretches out of Miley, Lauer, Peralta, Ashby, Houser. I'm excited to see what CC has in store for us.

    Are you doing a separate RP list?

    Those arm strength numbers are the average of top 5% of his hardest throws though. I feel like that does a decent job of factoring out the easy throws. The naked eye could see the difference between Urias and Wong's double play turns at 2B.

    Ah yes just so much crime near Fiserv Forum which is probably in the general area where a downtown baseball stadium would be put.
  11. wiguy94
    No his 2021 isn't as good as Sheets 2004. 2004 Sheets - 237 IP, 62 ERA-, 59 FIP-, 7.0 RA9-WAR, 8.0 fWAR respective ranks in MLB that year 4th, 4th, 2nd, 4th, 2nd 2021 Woodruff - 179 IP, 61 ERA-, 69 FIP-, 6.3 RA9-WAR, 4.7 fWAR respective ranks in MLB that year 20th, 4th, 6th, 5th, 9th

    I never argued Sheets over Woodruff careers. I'm saying Woodruff doesn't have any season that touches Sheets 2004 because you said Woodruff has 4 seasons at least as good or better than anything Sheets did.
  13. wiguy94
    This is seriously underrated Sheets 2004 which is the 2nd best season in Brewers history behind Burnes 2021 season (could even have a valid argument Sheets 2004 was better because he pitched significantly more innings than Burnes 2021)
  14. wiguy94
    After putting Burnitz ahead of Yelich in RF, I am confused with your logic of Woodruff and Burnes over Sheets and Higuera. Yelich like Woodruff and Burnes has much better numbers than Burnitz like Sheets and Higuera, but you chose the longevity of Burnitz and are doing the opposite for the SP.
  15. wiguy94
    Feel like this probably makes it harder for Frelick to break into the team out of camp, but it will be better practice for Frelick playing against pitchers who are trying to win and not trying to work on their stuff.
  16. wiguy94
    I came to the same conclusion last season after the deadline when Burnes said there wasn’t much extension talks. There’s just not many pitchers who sign extensions with 2 years left in arb. From my research it seemed like you either extend them before they hit arb or when they hit their last year of arb.

    What type of season do you think Rowdy is going to have to get 3.8 WAR? Vlad Jr had similar BsR and defensive ratings as Rowdy last year and only put up 2.8 fWAR despite having a 132 wRC+with 107 more PA than Rowdy. Do you predict Rowdy’s baserunning and defensive improve or are you thinking he’s going to put up around a 140 wRC+?
  18. wiguy94
    Out of the 118 players with 1000 PA over the last two seasons, Winker's BsR is the second worst at -10.7. The only player with a worse BsR is Josh Bell at -11.6.

    Pretty sure if you are a season ticket holder for a team that you get to watch the games for free on Apple TV (have no clue how that works, but I have seen people say that's the case on twitter)
  20. wiguy94
    Think it will be very difficult for Winker to hit 2 WAR. For reference Vogelbach had a 128 wRC+ in 461 PA and only put up 1.5 fWAR. Winker has also somehow graded as a worse baserunner than Vogelbach over the last two seasons. For Winker to get to 2 WAR, he would likely need a 135 wRC+. Not saying it isn't possible but I'd personally put the money on him being under 2 WAR.

    It certainly looks and moves like a screwball, but doesn't he use a changeup grip which is why it is called a changeup?
  22. wiguy94
    So they determine OF arm strength by the average of their top 10% throws. More sample could make it go down, but his max is still really good. Renfroe - 98.4 max, 93.8 overall Mitchell - 96.8 max, 93.5 overall
  23. wiguy94
    I'm going with Burnes. Think he has a strong season after a rough (by his standards) second half last year. Adames as runner up, but both being above 5 WAR.
  24. wiguy94
    Unrelated to who is starting in CF, but can't believe Longenhagen has Mitchell at 70 speed and 55 arm strength. The 55 arm strength is especially ridiculous when Mitchell was 96th percentile arm strength in his short MLB stint. I think the opening day job is Mitchell's to lose. If he struggles in spring training and Frelick plays well I could see Frelick being the opening day CF.
  25. wiguy94
    It's not surprising he would say that about Frelick. Law didn't even have Kwan on his top 100 last season.
