The Milwaukee Brewers are entering 2024 with some uncertainty in their starting rotation. Corbin Burnes is currently slated to return and headline the group. Freddy Peralta is second on the depth chart, Wade Miley third, and then Colin Rea, Joe Ross, and Aaron Ashby make up the fourth through sixth options. Their first three options are all solid, but after that there are some question marks.
Missing from a season ago is Brandon Woodruff, Adrian Houser, and Eric Lauer. Woodruff was non-tendered after undergoing shoulder surgery, Houser was traded to the New York Mets, and Lauer elected free agency. If they do not make any other moves to bolster their starting rotation it’s possible that prospects like Robert Gasser, Carlos Rodriguez, and Jacob Misirowski could all have roles at some point in 2024.
At first glance this group of current major league starting pitchers doesn’t seem as “good” as the squad they rolled out a season ago. However, Fangraphs recently ranked them as a top 10 starting rotation group.
The Milwaukee Brewers starting rotation is currently ranked inside the top 10.
According to Fangraphs the Brewers have the ninth best starting rotation right now. Ahead of them, starting with the highest ranked, are the Philadelphia Phillies, Los Angeles Dodgers, Atlanta Braves, Miami Marlins, Toronto Blue Jays, Seattle Mariners, Houston Astros, and the Minnesota Twins.
Looking at this further, Steamers projections on Fangraphs has the top five Brewers starting pitchers to combine for a WAR of 11 in 2024. Corbin Burnes led the way with 3.8, Freddy Peralta second at 3.3, and Wade Miley, Colin Rea, and Aaron Ashby all tied with a 1.3 projected WAR.
Other pitchers to make starts in 2024, according to Steamers projections, included Joe Ross, Robert Gasser, Carlos Rodriguez, Jacob Misirowski, and Janson Junk. Of this group Gasser made the most projected starts (19), covered 121 innings, and had a 4.48 ERA.
It seems likely that Matt Arnold will make at least one more transaction in order to improve his starting pitching staff, but surprisingly Fangraphs has their starting rotation currently ranked inside the top 10. This was published on December 30,2023 in which projections and rankings are subject to change based on league transactions.
