Four years of control. 2.48 ERA this year.

He's more of a 6th/7th inning type but that's fine. He has tons of control and it only cost us Henry. Our bullpen is legit and we're still gonna get Justin Topa back too. We're gonna have one heck of a decision as to who we demote because we need room for bats, since we have a bunch of guys that can play all over. I don't know how we're going to play this roster out but it's going to be fun to see.

My best guess (when healthy)

Catcher (2)
Omar Narvaez
Manny Pina

Infield (6)
Willy Adames
Eduardo Escobar
Jace Peterson (OF)
Rowdy Tellez
Luis Urias
Kolten Wong

Outfield (4)
Jackie Bradley Jr
Lorenzo Cain
Avisail Garcia
Christian Yelich

Starting Pitcher (5)
Brett Anderson
Corbin Burnes
Adrian Houser
Freddy Peralta
Brandon Woodruff

Relievers (9)
Brad Boxberger
Jake Cousins
John Curtiss
Josh Hader
Daniel Norris
Miguel Sanchez or Hunter Strickland
Brent Suter
Justin Topa
Devin Williams

That leaves Tyrone Taylor, Keston Hiura, Dan Vogelbach (DFA), Pablo Reyes, Travis Shaw (DFA), Eric Lauer, Sanchez/Strickland (DFA) either cut or demoted. 

Taylor belongs on this roster but the JBJ contract and Taylor's ability to be optioned is going to keep him off the team. Gonna suck losing Vogelbach but, with Tellez on the roster, he's redundant.

Just imagine what this team could be if our 3/4 hitters to start the year were providing pretty much anything this year. Amazing to be in this spot with Yelich and Hiura combining for .3 WAR as we head to August.

I would've liked to have landed a 4th SP because one injury to Woodruff/Burnes/Peralta and we're risking a promising season going up in smoke. Stearns hinted we went after Scherzer but I would've settled for Pineda/Maeda/Cobb.

.301/.390/.548 with 12 HR in 60 games.

Literally just posted this in the GDT thread...

Quote

Brewers w/o Adames (Opening Day to May 21st)
21-23
161 runs (3.7 per game)

Brewers with Adames (May 22nd to Present)
41-19
315 runs (5.3 per game)

Adames' stats as a Brewer
60 games, .301/.390/.548, 12 HR, 41 RBI, .247 ISO, .401 wOBA, 151 wRC+, 3.0 fWAR

2nd in the NL in fWAR since coming over, behind only Fernando Tatis Jr (3.2).

He won't win it but he should get MVP votes if we maintain the success and he doesn't fall off the last 58 games. Obviously, if Tatis isn't hurt long term, he's your NL MVP with deGrom being down likely through all of August.
