As it turns out, that backup plan — likely Travis Shaw going back to second base full-time — never had to be tested.While Moustakas has yet to be confronted with a double play opportunity this spring, he’s acquitted himself well enough and put in enough work every day that Counsell was comfortable enough to name Moose his starting/primary/initial out-getting second baseman today.Moustakas has apparently been so solid that the possibility of Shaw playing second base again this year never came up, according to Tom Haudricourt:Counsell is conceding that Moustakas does not have ideal range for a second baseman, but says his instincts are good. With the way the Brewers move their infield around http://www.dodgersfanproshop.com/authentic-max-muncy-jersey , the probability of Moustakas having to try to make a long-ranging play could also be reduced, and if Counsell plays it like he did at the end of 2018, odds are we’ll see Moustakas switched out for Hernan Perez or another “true” middle infielder in the late innings, once Counsell is relatively sure Moustakas’ spot in the batting order won’t come up again.To his credit, Moustakas has also taken the move well on a professional level. When Moustakas signed, it came out that the Brewers were very open about this possibility with him throughout the process. Despite reportedly getting multi-year offers elsewhere to play the only position he’s ever known, Moustakas took a one-year deal with the understanding it would mean changing positions.Nobody is expecting Moustakas to be a Gold Glover at second base, but it looks like at this point management is fairly confident that he at least won’t be lose-you-a-game bad defensively. Considering the offensive upgrade he provides over any of the other options Kenta Maeda Jersey , it’s likely worth the risk. Robertson, 33, has been a high-end workhorse out of the Yankees bullpen for the last decade."The Angels, interested in most starting pitchers who have signed this offseason, are interested in another pitcher: RP David Robertson. Jon Morosi had the news: It may not be surprising that the Angels are interested in relievers. Perhaps more interesting is Robertson’s interest in closing games with the Angels, a team that may have that opportunity available. Robertson, once the Yankees closer, lost that role as the Yankees acquired Aroldis Chapman with Dellin Betances dabbling Matt Kemp Jersey , too. Robertson’s value stems from both his performance and his durability. He has thrown 60 or more innings over each of the last nine years, with his lowest FIP over that time checking in at 3.58 in 2014. Among relievers who have thrown over 300 innings over the last six seasons, Robertson is the fifth-most valuable by fWAR (9.3) with the eighth-most innings pitched (394.1 IP) and the seventh-highest strikeout rate (11.94 K/9). Velocity is a proven predictor of success and in that regard, Robertson has held up well. The longtime Yankee threw slightly harder in 2018 than the year prior, with his cutter (thrown 41.6% of the time) seeing a 0.7 mph uptick and his curveball (thrown 45.8% of the time) experiencing an even greater 1.5 mph increase, per Pitch Info. The question, then, comes to concerning price. Heading into free agency http://www.dodgersfanproshop.com/authentic-max-muncy-jersey , I modeled the Angels to spend $28.5 million, assuming a $191M payroll. Given their additions and subtractions thus far this winter, the Angels have about $13.2 million left to spend this season. Given the Angels’ payroll situation, it looks unlikely that they will be able to sign Robertson in addition to Yasmani Grandal or Yusei Kikuchi.
