    Inventory Year - Phase Two

    I had him trending up more for circumstances than statistical performance this past month.  If he has a few quality starts this month, I believe he will be in line for a rotation spot next season. He is going almost 6 IP on avg each start, his K rate is solid thanks to a high spin rate on the 4 seamer, but his giving up some hard freaking contact too.  His change up is dog doo, so he needs to fix it or find another out pitch to help offset the hard contact.

    I also believe his BBs will go down as he figures out an effective approach at the MLB level.  I think he is still learning to pitch within a new system.  I also believe he has the potential to tank and be DFA'd at some point too.

    Wojciechowski averages about 5.06 innings per start this season. He has gone six or more innings only three times out of 11 starts. He has failed to get through five innings in five of those 11 starts and failed to get through six in eight of 11 starts. He barely averages five innings per start and has only gone six once in August. I know those two seven inning starts he made got everyone excited, but he has been below average since then and before then. So, I disagree on that assessment. He is pitching more like he had been before coming here. He's had only three quality starts out of 11 most of which were not good.

    I do want to see if his velocity bounces back because what once was 93-94 during his no-hit bid has gradually slipped down to where it is now at 90-91.

    Wojciechowski isn't trending up at all.

    July: 3.60/0.93, 37K/9BB in 30 IP, .183 BAA, 5HR

    August: 6.75/1.64, 24K/15BB in 28 IP, .272 BAA, 10HR

    Wojciechowski is trending down and not exactly sure how he could be trending up. Also seems to be losing velocity.

    What am I missing here? i see two years with a 3+ WAR and 5 years of a WAR of .5, .7, .8, .2 and .9/1.4. I've said this before, but he appears to be more of an accumulator than a good player. We've also been down this road before with Villar. He basically had the same season in 2016 and crapped the bed the next season. And the Brewers weren't even confident enough in his ability to give him everyday ABs that next season. That speaks volumes (to me).

    Frobby is correct. What you're missing is that you're looking at his oWAR and not his WAR. What you're also missing is his 2018 stats are split into two separate lines which you aren't adding together to make one number I guess because typing .9/1.4 makes your argument look better than putting 2.3, but again that's his oWAR; he had a 2.7 WAR for that season. So, his WAR over the last four seasons are 3.9, 0.1, 2.7 and 3.4 so far this season. If you didn't have such an axe to grind with Villar, you wouldn't be in such a rush to find some numbers to support your argument even if they're the wrong numbers or you have to misrepresent those numbers.

    What did Bleier do?

    As I said in a prior post, it’s a tricky decision.    

    Perhaps we should call him Tricky Dick, then.

    As far as the topic, I don't care if these incidents happen in the dugout. Good, let them show how much they care about their performance. I want to see fire out of this team which was completely lacking before. I also found it interesting that Armstrong and others quickly jumped to Bleier's defense and there were plenty of F-Yous and F-Offs being exchanged there. The clip someone posted here earlier had some of that stuff faintly caught on audio when they were coming out of the tunnel. Good. Let it out. I agree that this was probably the boiling over of some pre-established tension between Flores and some guys on the team.

    This team cares a hell of a lot more than they did for the last seven months of season during Buck's tenure. That team gave up on him in September of 2017 and carried that through 2018 to the worst record in baseball. No fire, no care.. I love what this team is showing now. Theatrics are fine, it's entertainment and to me it's the good kind. I like fire. It's been awhile since I've seen it out of this team and I still think Hyde is the right man right now. If Flores is a problem, he won't be here much longer

    Naw, I'm pretty happy with it at the end of July.  Make up your mind if you are in or out.

    It's not about being in or out. It's about taking away the ability to make last minute acquisitions in the case of an injury to a major contributor on the team that had been previously available before. At least in September, there's callups even if it won't be 40. Teams still get, what was it, two callups? You can't plan for unexpected injuries before they happen. Pretty sure the Indians are in, so it's definitely not about being in or out here at all.

    Yeah, already the downsides to this new rule are apparent. The trade deadline has also become the injury deadline. No injuries after July 31st! That really is lame, though. It leaves teams little recourse in the case of a player injury late in the season.

    I'm not a fan of the new rules.

    I have a feeling we'll be saying this a lot in the coming years.

    I think it's the case of something like delivery A gets you hurt 25% of the time and delivery B 12%.  It's not 90% and 5%.  

    Certain mechanical characteristics are pretty accurate predictors for injury. It's like weight training. There's a right way and a wrong way. The wrong way WILL get you injured eventually. You're talking about max effort forces being applied in both situations. If you do squats wrong, your lower back will suffer. Any heavy weight bearing exercise done improperly and often enough will eventually cause injury. Pitching is no different especially when the way you do it puts all or most of the stress on ligaments where it shouldn't be.
