    Hopefully that’ll be something to get Lara going.

    Was it absolutely necessary to get David Hamilton back in the mix? I much prefer 3B Joey and SS Pratt.
  3. adambr2
    Yes. I know it doesn’t feel like it all the time, but our offense is well above average. There’s no glaring weakness on either side that needs to be addressed, as is usually the case with a team 25+ games over .500. But they still go cold at times and obviously could go cold in the NLCS like they did last year and go out like a fart in the wind. They could add a big bat and I’d have no issue. But whoever it is, they’re going to bat 1/9th of the time at most and have a very small sample size of playoff at-bats and not going to win or lose a playoff series on their own.

    Not that I necessarily disagree - but who would you replace? Contreras, Turang, Mitchell, Chourio ,… not going to happen. Who would be available that’s an upgrade from a Bauers/Vaughn platoon at first ? Ortiz? He’s been one of the few guys hitting, and they’re not going to replace Pratt. I don’t know what they could really do unless they wanted to go after an Abrams type and make Pratt and another prospect the centerpiece, which would be a pretty big pivot after obviously signing him to be part of the future.
  5. adambr2
    Bauers has 1 hit since the AS break.
  6. adambr2
    He has a pretty big sample size in the minors saying he can. But he needs to get used to the differences in the game at this level because we aren’t seeing it right now.
  7. adambr2
    Murphy hasn’t really done anything to help him get settled in. It’s a sharp contrast to Pratt where they obviously had a plan for him to play regardless of what Ortiz is doing and he didn’t lose playing time when he was struggling. Lara’s playing time and positioning has been pretty inconsistent and he’s been all over the lineup. I’m just not really sure at this point why they called him up.

    Doesn’t help that Drohan just keeps digging a bigger hole and the defense isn’t doing anything to help either. Just a poor fundamental day.
  9. adambr2
    Not a good job holding the tag by Ortiz. Really can’t afford to fall behind by more.
  10. adambr2
    He was a platinum glover in the minors.
  11. adambr2
    Should be out. He popped off. Or maybe not. It’s was close. But call on the field was out.
  12. adambr2
    Pretty even splits
  13. adambr2
    Drohan come on man
  14. adambr2
    Atta boy Yeli!
  15. adambr2
    Drohan does not look good today.
  16. adambr2
    No way am I valuing Gasser and Sproat over Henderson. I’d have a much easier time seeing either one of them go. But, that’s why we have these boards and discussions!
  17. adambr2
    Bet we’ve already got guys in other systems that aren’t even on our radar right now that our scouts like that will get turned into 2’s and 3’s next year after we acquire them in the offseason for Frelick or Ortiz or a prospect or something. They do it every year.
  18. adambr2
    It’s encouraging. I wasn’t really trying to directly compare Drohan to Myers or Lauer, more just stating that he wouldn’t be the first to have really nice short term run in the rotation only to not really have any long-term staying power. You could throw Priester in there too. I’m unsure what to expect from him next year, if anything.
  19. adambr2
    Maybe Hardin. He’d probably be the next man up of the guys that haven’t gotten a shot yet.
  20. adambr2
    Yeah, I agree with a lot of this. I think too often we see a young pitcher performing well for us and envision that it’s going to be that way for the next 6 years when in all likelihood it is not. Call it Tobias Myers or Eric Lauer syndrome. As you say, pitching is fickle and just because a pitcher is pitching like an ace right now doesn’t mean he is one. I love what Drohan has done for us this year, but who here honestly sees him being in our rotation in 2 years? Always important to remember that we are trying to buy or sell players based on what we think they will do in the future, not necessarily what they’ve already done. I may agree or disagree on certain individual moves but in general if the organization trades a player, even for a rental, I’ll trust their judgment on it.
  21. adambr2
    Why would this make you think they’re not going to? They have a surplus of young, controllable starters. If they can use one for a rental that is a major upgrade because of the less control, I can see the logic in making that move.
  22. adambr2
    Jackson Holliday is probably the perfect recent cautionary tale. And I’m not saying Holliday still can’t have a very nice career. Just saying, I think too many people see a number 1 prospect in all of baseball and think “future superstar”. That can happen, but more often than not, it isn’t the outcome. Let's look back at the top 5 prospects in baseball in the year 2020. Obviously it’s been a hodgepodge of different career arcs.
  23. adambr2
    That’s a tough one. Bauers is a free agent, and if someone wants to show him the money, I expect he will take it. Vaughn isn’t the greatest, but it’s a solid bat and I think $10M doesn’t buy you much these days. I think Vaughn might be back one more year as a bridge to a higher end prospect like Adams, Burke, Adamczewski, or Fischer. I expect one of them to emerge as the future guy eventually but none may be ready to completely take over next season.
  24. adambr2
    Bill Schroeder: “If you think about it, the Brewers would have rather had Vaughn have been rung up on strikes than hit into a double play.” Thanks for that hard hitting rock solid analysis, Rock.

    We’re a really bad defensive play in right field from being shut out for the last 16 innings.
