No one is making real trades 11 games into the season, so we're likely best to try Vaughn in left to see what we have *until* we can find another team that has decided that want to start making trades. I just don't think that will happen in April. Completely agreed. I also think, realistically, Yermin isn't going to be our fulltime DH for the entire season. So Vaughn can shift back to DH some at some point, and a Peralta/Engel platoon would be very solid. Peralta is a lifetime .304/.357/.507 hitter against RHP. Dude rakes righties. We could really use him, honestly.
April 14, 20214 yr Still wavering btw putting Eloy in CF so he has bigger boundaries or letting him get injured at DH.

Musgrove is right there statistically, but relying more on sliders than dominating pure stuff in the way that Burnes does. The amazing number there is the walk count for a pitcher who flashes all those devastating wipeout pitches.
April 15, 20214 yr I've got some buddies in Milwaukee who are hard core baseball fans, one of whom pitched a bit in the Twins system. They told me the Brewers had a pitcher with the best stuff they had seen in years. I told them I was familiar with Brandon Woodruff and I agreed he had great stuff. They said it wasn't Woodruff but rather some guy named Corbin Burnes. Not familiar with Burnes I made it a point to follow him starting in 2020. He might fizzle out but, for now, I agree with my buddies.
