Yuniesky Betancourt

[FVBrewerFan]

Betancourt is currently playing in the Mexican League. Contributed last time the Brewers made the playoffs, and there is a need for IF. Wouldn't take much to sign him either.

Not sure if this thread is a joke or not. And that says something about our current infield.

... because it's going to be hilarious

[FVBrewerFan]

Last season he played in Milwaukee he had a .595 OPS. That's horrible, but much better than Arcia or Sogard. Plus Betancourt is versatile, having played all positions other than catcher in the past.

He's thriving in the Mexican League....

Yuni welcomes all your hugs

I think this would be amazing in so many ways. Other than onfield production...

Looks like MLB recently banned teams from signing players from the LMB, otherwise this clearly would have been a wise option.

Appears as though he’s adopted Bartolo Colon’s diet as well

Look forward to JohnBriggs' thoughts on this.

Yuni hit well for us in late 2011..... for all his faults, he had this. Also, it really isn't his fault that no better option was at SS.

He did lead the league in sac flies in 2011.

Yuni is bad - even for the Mexican League (which is a notoriously hitter-friendly environment).

 

In 2017 he had a .270 BA and a .614 OPS. The league average is .287 BA and a .769 OPS.

Ahh Yuni B, the shortstop with lateral range no wider than a bowling alley. While we're at it...let's bring back Dave Bush. He's had previous postseason success with the Brewers.

As long as we can have T Plush too.

Jesus...I would rather have Yuni.

Advanced metric show he's been unlucky, could easily be at .650 OPS. Plus, he can play SS, CF, even emergency catcher. And he's a gritty veteran.

I'm scared and need a safe place...

 

I think some of you believe what you are posting.
