Smoak just has to be better there. Selfish at bat.

Coming into last season I thought the Brewers had a chance to have one of the top 2 or 3 offenses in the NL, but getting less than nothing from Shaw and Aguilar and Cain’s rough season dragged them down to the middle of the pack.

 

With the collection of journeymen they’re throwing out there this year I don’t see them being in the top 10 scoring teams in the league, even when Yelich and Hiura start hitting. Too many major holes in the lineup.

 

And it’s not like they have the pitching to bail out a weak offense.

 

Brewers C 2019: 118 wRC+

Narvaez 2017-19: 115 wRC+

Manny 2017-19: 90 wRC+

 

Brewers 1B 2019: 107 wRC+

Smoak 2017-19: 120 wRC+

Braun 2017-19: 111 wRC+

 

Brewers 2B 2019: 124 wRC+

Keston 2017-19: 139 wRC+ (348 MLB PAs) 155 wRC+ (AAA) 116 wRC+ (AA)

 

Brewers SS 2019: 56 wRC+

Urias 2017-19: 79 wRC+ (302 MLB PAs) 131 wRC+ (AAA) 124 wRC+ (AA)

Arcia 2017-19: 69 wRC+

 

Brewers 3B 2019: 73 wRC+

Gyorko 2017-19: 105 wRC+

Sogard 2017-19: 99 wRC+

 

Brewers LF 2019: 125 wRC+

Avisail 2017-19: 117 wRC+

Braun 2017-19: 111 wRC+

 

Brewers CF 2019: 80 wRC+

Cain 2017-19: 107 wRC+

Gamel 2017-19: 97 wRC+

 

Brewers RF 2019: 151 wRC+

Yelich 2017-19: 151 wRC+

 

Last year we had three holes (SS, 3B, CF) plus the pitcher spot. We should likely see improvement from all three of those spots, plus the DH.

 

I think the numbers support our offense having fewer holes in 2020 than in 2019.

 

Using 2017-2019 numbers for players like Cain, Braun, and Smoak and projecting them to this year is not very convincing.

Note: If I raise something as a POSSIBILITY that does not mean that I EXPECT it to happen.

No extra innings anymore. If your the away team, you win as you pushed it to extras on the road. Boom, problem solved. We win.

Brock Holt going down the gauntlet, elbows up grimacing, looked so uncomfortable.
