Brewers' Weak Links: Perkins, Ortiz, Woodford

0:00On April 21st, Milwaukee Brewers got off to a 12-9-starth this season, looking solid on paper, but three players are dragging the squad down, hard with brutal stats that scream replacement time. Outfielder Blake Perkins is hitting a dismal point, 4-1-0, OPS, over 12 games, and with Christian Yelich sidelined, guys like Brandon, Lockridge, Greg Jones, and Luis Matos are breathing down his neck for that spot. Shortstop Joey Ortiz ain't fairing much better, stuck with an OPS starting with a 4-2, which won't cut it long, even if his glove work keeps. Him around as a bench option. Meanwhile, reliever Jake Woodford's 4.15 ERA hides deeper issues like a 1.73 and bottom percentile expected, batting average against, putting him on thin ice since he can't get optioned down. Brewers for an office has minor league shortstop prospects like Jet Williams and Cooper Pratt Ready plus other arms in the mix, so expect move soon.
