I have defended this deal and will continue to do so because the risk/reward and cost effectiveness involved,
However, I really hope the Brewers see something in Pratt’s bat that we don’t, or he looks like Joey Ortiz 2.0. He just hasn’t hit even minor league pitching above the A ball level. Like, at all.
It's obviously early, and he’s still 21. Still, seeing him just look completely overmatched against AAA pitching isn’t a great sign for his chances against big league pitching.
