Definitely leans that way yeah. League average OPS is .771 this year, was .809 last season (for reference, MLB was .719 this past season and the AAA International League was .750)

Yeah, funny enough the debate last year was about Raleigh and if he had given even ballpark to similar value to what Raleigh did this year, then maybe it would’ve been picked up lol

They’ve really only pissed off one player and from what I’ve heard, I would not count that guy as a clubhouse leader, at all.

I don’t think this is going to be an issue. William knew he was getting more in 2025 (the most non-Posey catcher money in Arb 1) so the Brewers had this flexibility in 2026.

Well sure. I didn’t really think that’s what we were talking about lol

Plus, fwiw, he’s got a 1.076 OPS in winter league with 3 homers and 3 doubles in his first 36 PA and gets rave reviews from every coach that spends any time with him, including Murph in spring last year, who never compliments prospects lol

He finished the season strong in AAA, exit velocities were as good as ever by the end after a slow power start. Arm was coming along, not sure it’ll ever be the borderline 80 grade arm we saw pre-injury, but it could still be above-average to plus. Defense looked good. I think he’s ready for MLB.

Lara has the head start right now, I’m guessing he starts next season in AAA, so I’d go with him. But if you told me both of them saw the big leagues by the end of the next year, I’d buy it.

He kept on getting it!

I forget about this app, so my bad. Yeah, Holub’s stuff is pretty interesting but it’s definitely the command. It’s quite bad.
