Luis Lara

Talk about a team that doesn't always get the right love and then players and archetypes that maybe don't.

A pair of Brewers we wanted to chat about, Luis Lara and Cooper Pratt.

Both these guys are...

i wouldn't say like they're not fun but they're not the flashiest players right i don't think those are two guys you're thinking of when you think of like impressive wow you type of players with that said there's a real chance for louise lara and cooper pratt to both be multiple war 10 for 10 plus years type of players given their defensive premium guys they're some of their parts they're i mean cooper pratt's like the classic some of your parts guy like we've heard that for years with them like they both have a lot of value in their own rights And I think it's interesting the way their markets have gone.

Luis Lara, for example, his market's down since the summer, since midseason this year, he's down.

And even when he got that little spike, he came up and debuted and like had a couple little spikes, but really not much.

And generally speaking, he's now the past uh what 90 days he's down 15 for his average price whereas cooper pratt's basically even across the past two months he comes up he had us when he signed the extension in the keyhole spike but then since then it's been pretty stagnant he's up a little bit i will say since the postseason started which is interesting because he's getting maybe a little bit of just like oh he's look at him he's in the playoffs type of energy but neither of these guys markets are really moving much and i just think maybe it's a product of who they are as a player yeah

Not a, not a star, not exciting, but I think Rumfield could continue to surprise people, uh, moving forward.

And this last one, I think I'll go with Luis Lara, you know, with the Milwaukee Brewers.

A guy that I just kind of shot up my rankings this year is he was just showing a lot of good skills in the minor leagues.

And, and while the numbers with Milwaukee don't blow you away whatsoever, they actually were kind of poor.

You know, only struck out 21 and a half percent of the time.

You know, he's a plus runner.

So a lot of good here, uh, with Luis Lara.

So if he gets a chance to, you know, start every day for them next year, I th- I think you'll see better results on the surface.

He's had several moments.

But think about guys like Luis Lara and Andrew Vaughn and Sal Frelick and Bryce Terang and Cooper Pratt who have all had...

Garrett Mitchell, who have all had moments.

That's what you need if you're going to win a championship.

You saw Andrew Vaughn start in game number one, have a double.

Luis Lara drives in the winning run, uh, in game number one a- against Tarik Skubal.

I mean, it's been everybody, right? It's, it's been contributions up and down.

The bullpen has been spectacular.

Just in this series alone, you're seeing David Hamilton, you saw Andrew Vaughn start in game number one, have a double.

Luis Lara drives in the winning run, uh, in game number one a- against Tarik Skubal.

I mean, it's been everybody, right? It's, it's been contributions up and down.

The bullpen has been spectacular.

They had discussions and decided they did not want to, A, take on the money, and B, give up the prospects they were going to have to give up.

One of them, uh, wa- was Luis Lara, who has [chuckles] looked pretty darn good in this series.

Would you have traded him for Scoobel? Maybe.

Um, that'd be more Sal Frelich, which is always an adventure.

Milwaukee won Sunday's opener 2-1.

Andy Pages drove in the Dodgers' only run, Bryce Tourang answered with a home run, and Luis Lara's fifth-inning single supplied the winning run.

the Brewers didn't need a dominant outing from Jacob Miziorowski.

He walked three, but Milwaukee still got the outs it needed.

Just so many stories like that of everybody contributing across the board.

Sure, just in this series alone, you're seeing David Hamilton, you saw Andrew Vaughn start in game number one, have a double, Luis Lara drives in the winning run in game number one against Tarek Skubal.

I mean, it's been everybody, right? It's been contributions up and down.

The bullpen has been I mean, 28 and two-thirds innings of one-run baseball so far in the postseason from the bullpen was at a 0.3-something ERA.

Just in this series alone, you're seeing David Hamilton, you saw Andrew Vaughn start in game number one, have a double.

Luis Lara drives in the winning run, uh, in game number one a- against Tarik Skubal.

I mean, it's been everybody, right? It's, it's been contributions up and down.

The bullpen has been spectacular.
