    That's exactly the way it works. There is a lot of luck that goes into determining a team's final record. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/standings/
  2. And That
    http://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/MLB/2016-starter-pitching.shtml Brewers starters averaged 5.5 IP per start, which was towards the bottom of MLB, but the range is very tight, from 5.3-6.1. They were about in the same position in number of pitches per start. Maybe more telling is that there were 37 games where a Brewers starter threw at least 100 pitches (Anderson had 4 of those; Nelson and Guerra both had 9). Only the Dodgers and Pirates had fewer 100+ pitch starts. The Brewers also had the most 80-99 pitch starts in baseball, so it seems to have been at least a little intentional that they were pulling pitchers before 100 pitches. Rarely ever threw 100 pitches and a ton of the times 85 or less. He threw 100 pitches 4 times. He threw 85 or less (not counting his relief appearance, or the game where he left after getting hit by a ball) 10 times. I guess I would not use the terms "rarely" or "a ton" as far as his pitch counts. More than usual shorter outings? Probably. Again not including his relief outing or the 2/3 of an inning outing, he averaged 89+ pitches per start.

    If Villar and Guerra played like garbage all year would you still want the 5 less wins? Why are Villar and Guerra playing like garbage all year a prerequisite for the Brewers winning fewer games? The Brewers could have easily lucked (or unlucked I guess) their way into 5 fewer wins with exactly the same production from those two.

    Niewenhuis is going to be arbitration-eligible this winter, so while the Brewers don't have any payroll limitations at present, I have to wonder if they want to pay him much more than the minimum. If he was cut loose from the roster, I don't know that he gets claimed, or signs a major league deal with anyone. I also don't think it would be a bad move to hang onto him, just so long as he isn't taking up space at the risk of losing a younger player in the rule 5 draft.

    The Phillies lost today. Brewers have the 9th pick in next year's draft.
  6. And That
    I enjoy that they use Carolina as the place in their team name, and they are in the Carolina League. Major Brewers. Or National Brewers. Time for rebranding.

    If I had told you what the Powerball numbers were in July 2015, you'd be rich.
  8. And That
    #9 overall picks of the past decade: 2016: Matt Manning, RHP 2015: Ian Happ, OF (also, the Cubs drafted at #9 overall a year and 4 months ago - think about that for a minute) 2014: Jeff Hoffman, RHP 2013: Austin Meadows, CF 2012: Andrew Heaney, LHP 2011: Javier Baez, SS 2010: Karston Whitson, RHP 2009: Jacob Turner, RHP 2008: Aarow Crow, RHP 2007: Jarrod Parker, RHP (taken one pick ahead of Madison Bumgarner - whoops)

    Ethier had 9.153 years going into the season. He reached the 10/5 rights plateau about 3 weeks into this season.

    Here's the full McCalvy article.
  12. And That
    A Milwaukee win and San Diego or Oakland loss today would eliminate the Brewers from the #6 pick. If Milwaukee wins and both lose, the Brewers will be eliminated from the #7 pick as well. On the other hand, thanks to the White Sox' 4 game win streak, the lowest the Brewers can pick in the first round is at #11. Remember, if the Brewers and Rockies wind up with the same record, the Rockies win the tiebreaker for the higher pick. The Brewers also lose the tiebreaker with the Phillies, but they win a tiebreaker with the Angels.

    Parking ramp?
  14. And That
    The Brewers have been eliminated from contention for the #1 or #2 picks. A Brewer win or Diamondback or Reds loss today would eliminate them from the possibility of the #3 pick as well. The the Diamondbacks and Reds both lose today, the Brewers would also be eliminated from the #4 pick. If the Diamondbacks, Reds, and Rays all lose today and the Brewers win, the highest the Brewers could pick would be #6.

    Pittsburgh isn't on either list, but they do have 2 (Glasnow, Meadows) of the top 9 prospects in baseball, also according to MLB Pipeline. And the Cardinals have the 7th best prospect (Reyes). There are currently only 13 players on Pipeline's top 100 list with an overall rating of 60 or higher, none of which are Brewers. Arcia was a 60.
  17. And That
    Just to throw it out there, the Brewers have the most prospects rated 55 or higher, according to MLB Pipeline. A 55 grade means the player has a projection of an above average major league regular: Brewers - 8 Braves - 7 Dodgers - 6 Yankees - 6 No other team has more than 5, and there are a couple teams that have none. The Brewers also have the most prospects rated 50 or higher. A 50 grade means major league average regular: Brewers - 19 Padres - 18 Yankees - 17 A's - 16 Phillies - 15 Rays - 15 No other team has as many as 15.
  18. And That
    Guh. That's not encouraging.
  19. And That
    They were probably thinking that he was a career below replacement level player and if he signed elsewhere, he signed elsewhere. And every other team had a shot at him on waivers. Maybe they had a verbal contract agreement with him before they put him on waivers.
  20. And That
    I'm not 100% sure on this, but I believe the Brewers would win a tiebreaker with the A's because the A's had the same record as the Brewers in 2015, but had a better record than the Brewers in 2014. Basically, anyone who picked ahead of the Brewers in the 2016 draft would win a tiebreaker with the Brewers for the 2017 draft. So, the Brewers would lose tiebreakers with the Phillies, Reds, Braves, and Rockies. They win the tiebreaker against everyone else.
  21. And That
    If the Brewers wind up tied with the Phillies, the Brewers lose the tiebreaker due to the Phillies having a worse record last year.

    Really hope he got called into Stearns' office, and was greeted with: "Gord, I must Ash you a question."

    He was #1 on the Brewers' board.

Why can't we have the nice things? Or even the Toledo-type things? Tacoma hasn't officially renewed with Seattle yet, have they? I guess there's that?
  25. And That
    Players can accumulate a maximum of 172 days of service time per year, despite the fact that the regular season is regularly right about 183 days. So if Puig's service time entering the season was 2.119 and he accumulated 150 days of service time in 2016, he would have 3.097 of service time going into the 2017 season.
