Despite a lot of inconsistency from the kids, Brewers have been fun through 5-15.
Chourio in striking out too much but the flashes of a 19 year-old figuring it out are fun. Betting on a big 2nd half
Ortiz always had the glove. If he keeps hitting like he is, he’ll have been a big pickup in the Burnes trade and make the eventual Adames departure easier.
Turang plays steady defense and if he can keep that OBP at .350+ and steal bases, he’s fine as your everyday 2B.
Frelick is probably not an everyday player but his glove makes it hard to take him out of the lineup. If he can figure out a way to get on-base more, he’ll be a good 3/4 type.
Gasser has two starts and is flashing why they’re high on him. We’ll see where he is in a few weeks after facing tougher lineups and how he handles adversity but I’m pretty bullish on him as a good rotation piece. Not an ace but definitely a solid innings eater in 2024 terms.
Finally, through this point in the season, William Contreras is a MVP candidate and making an argument as the best catcher in the game. Kid has been an absolute stud
