I agree it’s not a reach. However, I would like to avoid him starting in any way - there is a jarring gap between his starter/reliever splits, but more importantly, getting Ashby through last season healthy is a bit more of a miracle than we seem to think. If that works for his body, messing with that because he gets paid a certain amount or for any other reason seems like too big a risk for this team.

Baseball reference has Gasser remaining pre arbitration eligible this year and next. Am I mistaken?

What could Freddy Peralta fetch in a trade?
Sugarrayray replied to jonescm128's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Freddy is my favorite Brewer and it will be a sad day to see him go - a true Brewer through and through - if they do trade him, seeing what the Rays got for Baz makes me extremely bullish on the haul the Crew could get for Peralta. Baz doesn’t have near the value Freddy does to a contending team. -
I would love a Mitchell/Perkins left right platoon in general.
-
Yeah I think it would be more expensive than the packages offered up in this article. But I think more along the lines of Pratt OR Pena. A package built around one of those two guys should get it done.
-
Well then I guess they need to trade him? He is not capable of being a starting pitcher in the big leagues, for myriad reasons.
-
Like Matt said, this could be a string of larger moves, and this lefty seems to have a lot of potential…..however Mears was better than Zerpa last year and Collins is far better than Badoo, and much more versatile besides. People really wrote him off after one bad month last year. Badoo has had several bad years. Having an option year (Zerpa) is nice, but it still seems like they have potentially downgraded two players on their roster. Furthermore, Ashby has no business being in the rotation and the Brewers need to leave well enough alone. He has turned into an ace reliever and does not have the health/ability/mentality to be a starter. His career starter reliever splits are downright staggering. On line with a Wade Davis or someone of the sort. I have come to trust Arnold more than Stearns even, and I was down on the Priester trade initially last year too, but I struggle to see how our roster has improved, if not gone in the opposite direction. Edit: That ground ball rate IS sexy.

At this point I feel he should never pitch more than one inning for health reasons. When he was tried as a one inning reliever by Baltimore in 2023, he had pretty much the most successful stretch of his career. Also, he has lost so much heat on his fastball, one inning stints would allow it to play up.
-
Huh I didn’t even think about that!
-
It is a big outlay but since it’s only for a year, maybe Mark was willing to spend it due to it being a special franchise icon, extremely short term, and getting some extra playoff revenue. In fact, I could see Mark subtly bragging about said expenditure during Brewers On Deck or something.

Well said. Although I’m putting Gasser well ahead of Myers, Ashby, and Hall on the starting pitching depth chart. And as far as Hall goes - he is so profoundly unreliable they should strongly consider just making him a one inning reliever at this point. His stuff would play up, he could pitch fewer innings, and when the Orioles put him in that position he had easily the most success he’s had in his career. -
I could see Pratt, Wilken, and Hendershot getting the job done for Buxton eh?
-
Well, the GM always has the final say. And is mostly in charge of who runs the draft. So the responsibility/credit/blame does fall at his doorstep.
-
A lot of times it takes those small guys a few years to learn how to keep their velocity throughout the long season. He also had never had much of a workload in the minors. I think this past year will be a great experience for him to have under his belt and boy I am bullish on him! Always leery of those damnable flexor strains though.
-
Well, I have watched every game, not just one. Some games the refs have been downright absurd, such as the one to which you are referring. Some games they have been officiating the game in a pretty standard way. Green has been absolutely putrid on defense this year, and has two fouls per first quarter on top of that, every game. He of course will not shoot 49% over an entire season. Taurean Prince shot 44% from 3 last year and is another one trick pony and he, indeed, makes the minimum.
-
Man this A.J. Green extension is not looking so wise right now. Obviously early but his stunning lack of athleticism and intelligence really limit him. Constant foul trouble, terrible defense, one trick pony on offense. Those kind of guys are generally worth the minimum or not much over.
-
I definitely think they have to consider moving on from him (as much as I really like the guy) if he has any trade value. I’m not sure how much value he has on his own at this point, but maybe adding him in a package could help net something good. But I really don’t think they need to cut ties with him just for the sake of doing it. If he doesn’t have much trade value he absolutely should be kept, I am thinking.

A quick question - Is Breckinridge really THAT good of a defender? I saw him make a lot of mistakes diving when he was playing a lot the first month he came over. Outside of that, I know he is good but isn’t Perkins CLEARLY a better defender in center? All offensive\platoon stuff aside.
-
What a masterfully done analysis. Where else can you go to get an expertly crafted treatise on how to kick the Cubs ass?

In a given series I think there will be a batted ball, maybe 2 in a 4 game series, that Ortiz gets to that Andruw may not. But in that series, that’s 12 to 16 plate appearances of Ortiz’ worst-in-league offense. It’s hard to cover up for a black hole like that in the playoffs on a team that is totally bereft of big boppers. Some of Ortiz’s pathetic swing decisions and chases in this series against the Padres bordered on disrespectful to his team and coaching staff. I am shocked Murph played him after his at-bats the first game of the series. He is a really good defender. But really, to play every single day on a division leading or plus team, bringing the worst offense in the league, you should pretty much be the best defender at your position in the league. I don’t even think he’s a top 5 defensive short stop. So happy they have shortstops in the pipeline ti replace him soon, if not next year.
-
Yeah good point about Gasser. Def should be on the roster.
-
I like that roster but, if it’s a situation to get a tough righty out, I like the option of having the sidewinder Anderson probably over Patrick, as much as I like him.

Man wonderful writeup. I love Matt and how he refuses to say Atlanta :)))

Not embarrassing in the least! Literally probably one of the easiest spelling mistakes to make plus I had to double check to make sure I WASN’T wrong myself :)
