2K24: Milwaukee Brewers

[Sharky]

I would not use fWAR for older-era pitchers. The assumption behind fWAR is that pitchers don't have any control over outcomes on balls in play. That kinda sorta maybe works a little bit, though not really, in the current high-strikeout era. It works less well in older eras.

Mixmaster Mike, can you suggest an alternate way for us to consider / compare across eras?

Peralta out early on a batting swing. I’d bet oblique, but no announcement yet

[chancellor]

Might even be worse….something shoulder related.

bWAR is better than fWAR for that purpose. And ERA+ is fine, too. But to some extent, the changing roles of pitchers over time makes any comparison across multiple decades more difficult than comparing position players.

No one compares to Rube Waddell

[Judge Jude]

the WAR numbers I got from BB-Ref (they do vary) in Post 545 struck me as fair to both these Brewers and the 1986 Mets.

comp of high volume/less dominance vs the reverse - and pretty much matching so far.

What is wrong with Yelich? He is available in a trade but I cannot justified him helping my team.

From a non-analytic standpoint:

- His timing due to lack of play has simply not come back.
- He became pull-happy.
- He's swinging at bad pitches he took for balls just two years ago.
- He's seeing more radical shifts, which is likely due to him becoming pull-happy.

If the deal is for this year only, I'm seeing a light, but a dim one, at the end of the tunnel. He's gone two straight days where he's gone to LF three times. But even as a Brewer homer, I'd have to get him on the cheap to deal for him this year.

There not many trade options out there and I could use help in the OF. I will try a low ball option.

What a decline. Just a year ago, he was in the argument for the 1st overall pick, but next year, he’s more likely at best a 5th or 6th rounder, and that’s really just on rep than anything else.

He has been a top-4 forever keeper for me for years, but I moved him to a dumper this year and JDM/SPerez/ARiley project to be his replacement (or I could go into the draft with an empty spot and draft from the players others throw back).

I found this in a web search.

[Mithrandir]

I knew he would suck this year!

[Sour Masher]

I knew he would suck this year!

I wish you told me before I traded for him!

[Gregg]

I will get him cheap next year when he is fully confident that his back is healed and stops playing with trepidation.

Peralta to the IL, shoulder inflammation.

And Giannis is now a proud minority owner of the Brewers.
