Are we talking enough about Blake Burke and what he's doing in AA? MLB Pipeline has him ranked just 18th on our top 30. Is he being severely underrated or does it just speak to the overall depth of our system? I see him as our 1B of the future so hoping he does not get traded in the next few days.
Detroit might be able to get back into the race but they also have to be realistic and do what's best for the future of the franchise. I know that's easier said than done though.
Webb is having a "down" season for his standards but man he is tough, particularly against the Brewers. He's 5-0 with a 1.79 ERA in 8 career starts vs the Brewers.
Just a hunch but I'm guessing the Brewers and Tigers have had conversations and Henderson's name was brought up right away and the Brewers balked at that and offered up a different pitcher. That could very well be the sticking point between the two teams right now.
Really good question. That's a tough one. It would hurt but I'd probably do it. Since Miller has multiple years of team control, we could turn around and flip him later on down the road and recoup some prospect capital.
You can probably add Chourio to that list too. He's maybe been slightly better lately but over the past month I'm sure his stats look just as ugly as Yelich and Contreras.
The stuff is there but it's just all over the damn place. Needs to spend an entire offseason in the pitching lab figuring out how to be more consistent.
