What is wrong with hitting .260 to .280 on the season? In the time Willy Adames was here he only hit above .251 one time that being his first season here. I do feel Turang is going to have a major jump in production and it is going to happen this season. Brice Turang hit .455 in the playoffs with 1.227 OPS . he shows up when the games are biggest and is a player on the cusp of putting it all together in a very big way. I think if he moves to Shortstop his defensive values jump way up . I believe he can carry a .300 Average or near it as he did through parts of 2024. If Brice has a .280 season next year that makes him harder to extend not easier and a .280 bat is nothing to sneer at in 2025. If Turang hits .280 + on the season he also carries at least 60 steals with that because he is on base more often. IF he hits .300 that number increases that much more . Brice Turang is going to be a starting playing in the MLB for at least the next decade or longer and getting him attached here for a long period of time only makes good sense when it comes to roster building. There are not a bunch of people who carry all of what Brice Turang brings to the table as a player and even those who do not watch baseball have to admit very few players show so much improvement from season to season as Turang has already. Platinum defenders are not the typical player out there and the Brewers play almost everything they do off the defense they play. Turang is much more than a defensive player and showed that when the lights were brightest . Cooper Pratt and Jesus Made are eventually coming up to the Bigs and will play infield but they are not the replacements for Brice Turang. They are just future teammates.

Brice Turang is one of the very best young players in all of baseball. The jump he took from 2023 to 2024 was big and he was one of the teams very best players in the playoffs. If the Crew can get him signed long term they should run that money to him as fast as possible and regret nothing. The people who talk about Turang as a maybe are not watching baseball.

That is crazy to me. How people see this team. Turang is one of the guys you cannot let walk early.

Then you are not looking! He just won a platinum glove in 2024. He showed enormous growth from 23' to 24' and should continue to improve. There is very little about his game you should be unhappy about at his age. Turang is one of the best players in all of baseball and getting better.

Every third pitcher in baseball has had a Tommy these day and starting is not easier or harder on the arm than is bullpen pitching. Some guys need the days off between outings more. I do not see anything from his past nor the 2024 end to how things were going as proof his arm was giving out. The reports of his velo being way down are grossly over reported. I like Hudson as a starter more than a bullpen arm. I would love to see what it looked like in truth.

I like the idea and I like him as a starter. I think the Brewers could make him into a really nice rotational pitcher unlike any other spot he would be in. If they can get starting work from Hudson they should. He has so much more to offer with more innings. The way he works batters is built for multiple innings way more than bullpen work. With the 2026 pitching situation in question trying to get starting work from Hudson would be a bold and worthy attempt to get the most out of this young Star. Never doubt what Hook can accomplish . If they see starter they you will see them at least try it out. If he cannot do it so be it. Moving him back to the bullpen is not a tragedy. I really want to see what he can do as starting pitcher. I do not think it is that crazy of a reach for this to be realized either and I like where this author's head is at. Baseballs more fun when Hudson and Myers turn out to be starting pitchers here and we see them through to a Freddy type send off . Think big and dream bigger my friend. I like the idea and it is in no way crazy to think this could be a real possibility.

I said this so many times last season and people literally chewed me out for even speaking the idea of starting Hudson. From my view I think Hudson looks like a starting pitcher and has from the moment he stepped onto a Brewers mound. He has starting stuff and he has so many ways to use his pitches that a single inning is never enough for him to really work through his toolbox and get the most out of his tools. Hudson did have a start or two as a Dodger I believe but they would not be called magic moments in his career. So my idea of Hudson as a starter is not as far fetched as I was lead to believe by the internet who all screamed "NO" to me all at the same time! Amazing how one years time changes perceptions. I stand by it too. Hudson belongs in a starting role if he is able to handle the load. Maybe Hudson is pitching his guts out so hard each inning that stretching him out would be a mistake . These are questions that cannot be answered unless they try it. If sending him to AAA last season was a long term plan to make him into a starter then I am fully onboard. If Hudson works as a starter and brings his best game to that venue I think the Brewers stole a real gem from the Dodgers in that get. I like Hudson as an Reliever too so it makes it hard for me to really call it one way or another but the truth be told the value of Hudson in a rotational role is so much greater than in a long relief role in the pen right now. The pen has room and young arms pushing into the works . The Brewers 2026 pitching rotation is decimated . 3 of the 2025 starting rotation names will be elsewhere including Freddy so the time to start to see what is needed to handle that drop in proven production needs to be established this season. Hudson as a starter would sure help that transition not hurt so bad. Plus it makes for something fun to ponder this Spring.

With the biggest questions about 2025 centered around replacing Willy Adames offense the focus of players who may be the ones who step up and bring that offense in place of Adames has missed some very obvious players who should have much better seasons than they did in 2024. These are my top 5 overlooked players who will be a big part of winning in 2025 and who I believe will put their 2025 numbers to shame. Improvements come outside of just the offense in one instance but 4 of the 5 are all about making up for Willy Adames making himself money elsewhere. #5 Freddy Peralta. This F ing Guy... This is season 8 for Freddy here in Milwaukee. Probably last and final full season for this Crew we have all been waiting for Freddy to step into his Superstar pitcher costume and become a top 5 pitcher for years now. 24' was frustrating as a fan who really thought this season was going to be the best one of Freddy's career. That did not happen making 2025 a critical season for the Brewers hurler and for the Brewers who will be wanting to trade him before they have nothing left to trade. So will 2025 be the season we see Fastball Fred hunting down the likes of Wheeler and Skenes to compete for a Cy Young? It has to be. Freddy is on the cusp of money like he has never dreamed of before and one super season would surely get him paid on the level of the top tier pitchers of the MLB. The 2024 season for Freddy was hard to watch. None of the rotation were more in a constant state of struggle to the level of Freddy. He was not great at anything in 2024 and got himself into long innings more than he did not. He did not look the part of the #1 pitcher on a teams rotation at any point in the season and this cannot happen if he wishes to be paid as if he is that for a team. So I expect the best version of Freddy ever in 2025 . He is a simple fix in his mechanics or his preparation from being that Dude. He has all the tools and for Brewers fans there is no more time for Freddy to show us who he can be beyond 2025 so now is that time to Crap of get off the pot. I and most of the fanbase have been waiting for this to happen for some time now and as it usually goes when a player is about to enter a payday in the coming season ahead you can expect that Freddy like Willy last season will have his best season as a Brewer. There are millions and tens of millions of dollars to lose if he has another 2024 type season in 2025. If that happens Freddy will be relegated to a mid rotation pitcher his entire career and cost himself hundreds of millions of dollars in income if he gets that designation. No more pitchers . This is about offensive production after all . #4 Jake Bauers. While Bauers numbers stunk after 2024 was over I can think of no one who held more value in the small places that season more than Bauers. He batted an abysmal .199 with 12 homers and 43 RBI. Not that this has been uncommon for Bauers who hits like this most seasons with all the other teams he has been on. The teams who have looked hard at Bauers over the years including the Brewers have good reasons to see if he can work out as a hitter because he holds exceptional bat speeds and can hit pitches other players struggle to hit. He is good against fastball at heat levels and is good at finding power on pitches that are coming in at funny angles. In 2024 the Brewers won most of the games Jake Bauers started for some strange reason and he was a special pinch hitter. When the Brewers needed a guy to get on base late in games Bauers found himself in AB's that were Superstar level time and time again for the Crew. If he was not assured to get a hit in that role he would work through his AB and get on base with a walk . The Brewers used his ability to get on base to set up several late game comebacks last season and in that role Bauers was a valued member of this roster who I believe can become a better hitter and make his future a very bright one. Will it come in 2025? That I cannot project. I think had he hit even .30 better in Batting Average he would be rostered day one as the backup 1st base. He was not good most of the year when he was not pinched in. Swinging at the moon most of the season and not making contact enough to make a difference. Had he been a tiny bit more consistent I think the Brewers like his other upsides enough that this choice would be an easy one . That not being the case the timeframe for Jake is not clear to me. That and the fact Tyler Black must get his call up and job at 1st in 2025 make it hard for me to put Bauers in the mix for sure this season. As seasons normally go there will be a need to bring up hitters through the season to fill in or to help with one thing or another and Bauers has to be on a short list of names who everyone knows is MLB ready and can help this team win games. So if Bauers gets his feet set here under his new singed Minor League deal and feels like he has a place to put it all together he should find another gear that makes him a legitimate hitter at the highest level. Bauers not being forced into pressure games now that he is a Minor League contract could be the best thing for him. Let him get more at bats that are not under microscopes and he might turn out to be a really dangerous dude. If the Brewers call on him in 2025 I think he could turn on the juice every team who has fielded him has been waiting for him to do. He can help the Brewers win in 2025 and well into the future and his signing in the Minors with Milwaukee has to be the best thing that has happened to his career prospects since he was drafted. #3 Caleb Durbin. Yeah 5'6'' is short and I get why many write this off as just to small for Big League Ball. I do not think the same as those people however and am one who truly believes the Brewers beat the Yankees in trade value by grabbing a contract year with Nestor Cortes and the young Star prospect Caleb Durbin for a Devin Williams (who should be great for that franchise). The season Nasty Nestor gives the Crew when playing for his $ season should be about as good of a return as a team can get out of one year on a mound. I have big expectations for that part of this deal as well but that is another story for another time. Caleb Durbin is being described to the masses as a "short" fella. Most of his on field ability is overlooked simply because he is not tall and because of the belief he is a small guy every other metric is assumed on the short side of MLB level on their face by many who report on Durbin. For me I see a guy who is really good and has no place in AAA anymore on any roster. The Yankees are famous for not doing well on prospect development because for the most part anyone who is any good in their Farms gets put in a package and traded so they can get the Devin Williams of the world. However Durbin was heralded by the Media who cover that Farm system and its players for a lot of reason that look to me to make a perfect place for Caleb Durbin to start for this team on opening day and I am not talking Nashville. Durbin over the past two season in the Minors hit an impressive .304 and .278 respectively and had OPS both season in the .822 and .839 spot that says he has more than enough bat to win at every level. 67 steal over that period of time as well with 14 home runs makes him one of the most talented young players on any roster no matter his size. He got better every time he went up a level so far through his career in the Minors. He is a plus defender with an arm on par with Joey Ortiz which is pretty good . They used him mostly at 2nd base for the NY minors and he plays that position as well as you need to to be considered a plus defender. Turang belongs at Shortstop in my opinion and Joey Ortiz was fantastic at 3rd on the glove last season . A good option for the Brewers new look infield would be simply letting Durbin take that 2nd base job. Durbin is a big dude for his size and he gets hits consistently and in a starting role would get on base a lot. Setting up the offense for runs time and time again and he can put a lot of runs across home plate. By the end of 2025 the Brewers could be sitting on a goldmine if Durbin lives up to the player he has already shown he can be. He fits our play style more than any prospect in baseball. The Brewers got the best of theYankess ! Do no let anyone tell you different! #2 Eric Haase. For me the biggest mistake of 2024 for the Brewers was signing Gary Sanchez at the last moment and taking the job Eric Haase had earned in the Spring away from him because had Haase gotten those 245 at bats that went to Sanchez had fallen to Haase I believe these Brewers win more games than they did and may have even squeaked another run or two in that playoff to help put this team over the Mets. Haase was fantastic with a bat in his hand last season. Haase has somehow found his timing on hitting at this moment in his career because outside of Jackson Chourio at the end of the 2024 season no one had more juice than Haase. Now as long as he is not jumped by prospects or late signing in 2025 should be able to be 300 AB's for the Brewer in relief of William Contreras . He is a nice catcher in backup work as well but his bat looks to be a high output weapon that could work closer to .300 average when the season is through if he maintains the level he played with in 2024. I am very excited to see him with more swings at ball as the season unfolds and think he and our other catcher can put up some lopsided hitting numbers as catchers that help make up many of the hits lost to Adames taking the money train to San Fran. #1 Rhys Hoskins. Hoskins had a terrible season for the Brewers who now need to pay him over $20 million for his services in 2025 with the contract he signed last offseason with this team. I have no issues with the signing or the money. Hoskins was a disappointment in the playoffs as well with 9 AB and no hits at all. So that is simply not what the Brewers brought him here to do. He only hit 2.14 in 24' Which is the worst he has outputted in his career. His 26 tankers were nice and some of them came at much needed moments in the season so you have to give credit in those moments. Hoskins has more baseball in him and is not the withered old man ready for retirement that many have him pegged as after his down 2024 season. Hoskins is playing for another contract and if he is healthy through 2025 he should be able to bring his numbers way up from the previous affair. If he ends the 2025 season in the same downward trend of the 24' season it could be hard for him to find a contract that he would believe was worthy of his abilities and might even get pushed into a journeyman who never finds another real home until he ends his career. However with a strong 2025 campaign you can bet you will see him find a nice chunk of change with a contender who needs more runs and a solid 1st base. So I expect Hoskins to have a completely different looking season and up his batting average in the .240s up to the .260s and with 30-40 home runs. Hoskins is not ready for the old folks home and will prove that in his final season with the Brewers . If he has a strong first half of 2025 the Brewers may even move him before the deadline to try and recover some of that investment but a hot Hoskins would only help this 2025 with even a normal Hoskins season. Expect him to have a solid season where we will no longer regret that payout. Hoskins is a good bet to bounce back with nice numbers ! To much wind? I know I am just ready for baseball already and cannot shut up about it! Go Brewers!

So shelf Hall for 2025 and have him work on making his body durable all 2025. The guy is fragile.

KC Hunt is a good pitcher. So is Knuckle Curve master Tanner Sheers .. Shears . one or the other. Why is the the perceptions that the league is moving away from young pitching? I do not see that at all but I would like to know what you mean by that.

Ranking Jesus Made above Cooper Pratt is a mistake.

I believe I owe you a cookie now.

Black proved terrible at 3rd so the idea he suddenly gets put at 3rd after being strongly moved out of that spot after his rookie season in AAA for good reason seems hard to believe for me. Tyler Black is 1st base or out of Milwaukee. He is not an outfielder. he is not even bad as a 1st base and the entire jabber about him being a -defender does not match his game film. The biggest issue for Black right now is that Pat Murphy hates his guts. I don't even know if he ever gets a real shot with Pat managing the team. Play him at 1st and be done with it . 3rd is not up for grabs to the level they would ever put Black over there ever again. If Black cannot play 1st for the Brewers he cannot play baseball for the Brewers. I think he makes a fine 1st base. What he needs most is MLB at bats and no more AAA moves. He needs to be let stick up in the Bigs and left to figure out MLB pitching and umpires . He can learn nothing in AAA anymore.

He is the SS. Make no mistakes and instantly he is #1 in NL at SS defense. He does not get worse moving to his position. he has been playing out of position this entire time!

If you wanted another pitcher who is Colin Rea why not just have gone out and kept Colin Rea? I see nothing about this signing to like . I do not like pitchers who throw under 90 heat sorry not sorry. I do not get this pitcher but that does not mean anything . The Brewers are good at making pitchers out of nothing and this pitcher is another nothing. So we will see if they can make him better. However If this was the level pitcher they wanted to get why not just sign Rea again? At least I trust him and he has Brewers mound time under him. there is no magic sauce that will make Anderson a great pitcher. His ceiling is low and not getting any higher. Same could be said about Rea but at least he was our unspectacular inning eater. Rea was inexpensive to sign. If they had no plan to improve his rotation spot with a pitcher who has bigger upside and could build into a star why change?

Sorry NO ! DeJong is not for me. No matter how you print this he is just a washed up hasbeen with no future and he is not better than the guys we have in waiting. The 2025 season is not for filling holes . The 2025 season is for finally letting the build come to life. The Brewers built a group of players here who are only a call up or minimal developmental push to become household names themselves. It is a great season to let the chips fall where they may and see if that talent is what we think it is. The Brewers are not 2nd place for doing this either and are still the defending champs with the edge to win it. I think the Baby Bears are looking at DeJong anyways. Let them have him and just play the roster.

THAT'S THE WAY!! YES! I love it ! Preach brother! Let the young guns play. Then we can shop if need be but I think we got this!

2024 was a banner year for this Brewers team and everyone who was locked into that season can understand why positivity should be the norm here. The playoff loss was not your typical playoff exit even if on paper people can make this argument it falls flat and the future's so bright for the Brewers we all need to get a healthy dose of excitement for what it to come! Getting to the playoffs was a road we dominated through last season. Willy Adames had a great season which helped win games all the way up until the playoffs. When we got to that dance we saw just why this Brewers team should be feared for many seasons into the future without Adames here anymore. When you look at the numbers of the playoffs you paint a picture. The Brewers picture is that of a team oozing with young Stars who are just about to step into their Stardome. The series against the Mets was one the Brewers lost yet they outplayed the Mets in that series and it was the youngsters who carried this team when the lights were brightest. Willy Adames, William Contreras did not even show up to those games and it was our young homegrown players who stood out and showed just how much better they can become in progression and that they all seem to have a bit of that Clutch factor winners carry into big series. Brice Turang in that series batted .455 ave. With 5 hits and 3 runs scored and he was one of the best players at bat all series. His 1.227 OPS will play against anyone and it showed that he is one of this leagues brightest young Stars over those 3 games. Blake Perkins who gets hammered for underperforming on offense hit .500 in that playoff with an OPS of 1.000 add and RBI and a stolen bag. He is still getting better. Sal was so good in that playoff if Williams had not given it away his name would not be forgotten like it is now. His playoff numbers carried .364 Average, The Homer of the series and an OPS of 1.091 Jackson Chourio was immaculate in the playoffs and was the strongest bats there. Ave. .455 2 homers and an OPS of 1.500 Garrett Mitchell while limited also put up one of the magic moments of that series showing himself to have Superstar genes hitting the biggest shot of his life in that series which allowed him to carry a OPS of 1.400 through that playoff leaving all of us wanting him to have had more AB's during that series . Ortiz blanked the playoff series but his early 2024 in season has me a believer and his defensive skills are that of the best in the game. His playoffs are not proof the others gave to account but I still have a massive hope Joey O becomes a big league bat through the 2025 season and hold out hope his next playoff opportunity will look much different. If our catcher can bring a hot bat to the playoffs and live up to his ability when the lights are brightest , Yelich can be healthy through a season and bring his game to a playoff with no back pain and one or two of the prospect hitters show us why we have held onto them this long this team is better than it was in 2024. Our young players are just stepping into who they will be and when they are fully developed they are top tier MLB players with no downside. Everyone seems to believe shopping is the best way to win baseball games because of the modern suckfest that baseball has become. The Brewers however went old school and built a team from the bottom up and really did a great job . Tyler Black can still be a difference maker as well as Oliver Dunn. Caleb Durbin is also a superior addition to a team who is on the cusp of delivering. Then you have the pitching prospects . This team is LOADED top to bottom and it is not going to be a down year no matter what the media says. ENJOY THIS TEAM Brewers fans. We do not get them this good very often and sulking because the Brewers did not make moves to break up the roster should not discourage you.

Who is relying on hope or luck? The Brewers rely on development and talent. So that Sh.. stops now! The Brewers have a stellar rotation right now. They still have the best pen in baseball. The reason I know this team is worthy into 2025 is because of the roster they have not because I feel lucky . Simply look at the numbers from the playoffs last season and you see where this team is headed. Turang,Mitchell, Chourio, Perkins, Sal Frelick had numbers that dominated through that series and we only lost because Williams blew it. The biggest Star on the team tipped off the Mets( who could have been cheating) to his pitches and we lost off his arm despite playing a stellar baseball game right up until that Alonzo hit. Anyone who saw that playoff series and who still thinks this team was lacking was not watching that series . There was nothing about that series that said same ol Brewers. They hit the leather off the ball and were the better team most of the entire series only to lose in the end off one pitch and some dumb stuff with Winker I still do not understand. It was not luck. It was being the better franchise that made the 2024 Brewers go and anyone who watched the Brewers saw that this team is miles ahead of where the media and downer fans believe them to be. With every single playoff loss before 2024 it felt like we had not answers and were miles away from winning anything real. That was NOT the takeaway I left 2024 with this time ! This time felt like we left it all on the table and that we have massive unfinished business and that this team is more than good enough to play ball with anyone in baseball as long as they keep the core team together and do not shop the entire roster hoping to find a free agent who is undervalued and over produces. This Brewers roster is strong. I like it more than any in the NL not playing in LA and no one else has the money to be the Dodgers. So stop being negative and look at things as they are and not as they used to be! This Brewers team is poised for bigger wins and it has 0 do with Luck or hope! This team is GOOD ,DEEP and ready to win now! Stop being so negative! The Brewers have built something special here.

we can both hate Counsel and love Murphy in the same breath. There is no need to conflate the two things . We can be happy that Craig left and still make fun of the other team who thought the best way to beat us was hiring our Manager who was not that popular with Brewers fans. Heck making fun of the Cubs is a very good way to enter each and every season in baseball because a strong hate for the Cubs, Cardinals and Reds makes for a better baseball team . the Pirtates are just too bad to really hate yet but they are getting there.

I love that Matt Arnold has made great efforts to keep the core team together. The thing lacking in baseball in 2025 is the lack of continuity on teams. Yes you can buy teams that win. Just ask the Dodgers and Yankees who have worked hard to force an salary cap into baseball this offseason. Keeping a team together has a lot of positivity behind it and it has become a lost method of team building in this era and it needs to be made popular again if baseball really is going to enter a resurgence . Cheering for a team that constantly rotates Stars is tiring and makes you less connected to those teams. The Brewers have studs who are just now stepping into their peaks and that alone should carry this team for a bit. I am all in.

Hating the Baby Bears is a birthright all Brewers fans have forgotten. Hating rivals is what makes baseball fun!

Nope the fact they have our coach and are trying to make Chicago work like Milwaukee by shopping for other people's toys is why . If you cannot find it in yourself to hate the Chicago Baby Bears you are probably cheering for the wrong team. Unlike the Child Bears the Brewers do not need to buy the worlds leftovers to win games and make rosters threatening. They built something here and it is time we tried it all out instead of filling the roster off the market of lost toys. The Brewers do not need to do what you and many others want of them and they made moves this offseason despite the nonsense you hear from the negative fanbase. The Brewers are throwing back how they are doing baseball and it is the most refreshing thing I have seen in baseball in decades. Fans like yourself need to realize what is going on here and accept it because it is going to work and we are going to win a lot of games by not taking the road everyone else drives in the MLB in this era. They are actually building a winner from the ground up and its working fantastically. The Brass here are counting on progression of prospects and current talent to win and that is not crazy or wrongheaded. I LOVE this idea and I am onboard with the way they are doing things this season. They have MORE than enough to compete for the biggest stages in baseball and if they need something they have proven they will go and get it but for now the best move is to just see what they built and let these young players not have to wait to see when they get a call with bought talent in front of them. The constant complaining from the fans who are all crying about the Brewers lack of offseason movement do not know what the plan is and are not helping us win games. Constantly complaining about the best Brewers roster in history must end. The Brewers are STACKED through the Timber Rattlers all the way up. They have taken a long time to inject this team with Stars and it is time we use those prospects with big talent so bringing in others to do the jobs that the Brewers have worked so hard to build from the ground up is why they did not spend like fools this offseason. Make no mistake though names like Nick Mears, Caleb Durbin, Oliver Dunn and Nester Cortez HELP this team and they are acquired talent over the past year in Milwaukee. This team is very talented and this is a Golden Age of Brewers baseball . Hate for the Cubs comes from living this Brewers fan life. If the Cubs being a bought and sold franchise with a lack of team building talent in tow does not help you hate this rival you need to find another sport or team to be involved with because we Brewers fans loath the Baby Bears. I say jump on board and help us with this entire thing! The Brewers are one of the very best run franchises in baseball and the negativity from the fanbase every single offseason gets really old. Wouldn't you have more fun cheering for the Brewers instead of constantly pretending they suck?

The Nick Mears trade will turn out to be one of the great moves of Matt Arnolds career when the smoke clears. Mears with our system behind him can be the best bullpen pitcher in the NL. We saw both sides of Mears last year and it was wonderful and devastating all in one . No pitcher needed to be out of Colorado more than Mears and finding the Brewers as a home has put an injection of success into his future that was not there in Colorado. Mears is one of the most talented right handed pitchers in baseball and was stuck on team who is bad for pitching development and who were not helping him get better in anyways while he was there. Now however he is in a top tier pitching situation with a team who needs him to be great. I expect Mears to challenge for an All Star spot and be in the running for best bullpen player at the end of 2025. Mears has a lot to offer this team and can become more here than anywhere else . I love this trade . We traded off Blalock an pitching starter for him who has skills to pitch big league so this trade needed to be a easy win for the Brewers . Blalock was a good prospect pitcher here and I wanted to see more of him but Mears is a grade above him in all ways. This trade was one that no one talked about as a big win last season but as we move forwards that is the only way to see this . WE traded a 5th starting rotational pitcher with injury history for a flamethrower who can be a Superstar in no time under our tutelage.

Luis Arráez is a name that comes to mind when I think of what Turang can be . I also think he can put up more homers than Luis A when he is all set . He put on 15 lbs of upper body in 2024. If he shows up next week with more stacked onto his frame I expect his power will jump up and triple his homerun numbers of 2024. Brice is not a finished product and I still think he becomes the player he will be this year . I think he can carry a .300 average when he is done building his body. I think his bat will strike harder and harder each season until he gets into his 30s. Turang is still becoming great and now with him being in the position he was born to play moving forward I believe we will see the best Brice Turang yet.
