Recently the Brewers continued their process of rebuilding the organization sending Jean Segura to the Diamonbacks in a 5 player trade that saw Aaron Hill, Isan Diaz and Chase Anderson to Milwaukee. Hill is going to be the obvious second baseman of the Brewers, and Diaz is an upcoming prospect. But, Chase Anderson may be the best part of this trade.
At 28 years old he has had just 48 major league starts and his changeup is where he shines. Anderson’s has the 11th-highest run value among starting pitchers, and while Anderson hasn’t been a superstar or an Ace, he even declined after coming off the DL (his FIP- went from 111 to 97), but his strikeouts did pickup and his contact rate went down from 85% to 78%.
