BALLER MOVE: Target ~275
CURRENT ADP: 311
ANALYSIS: Travis Shaw’s first full season in the majors got off to a good start, but he wasn’t able to keep the momentum going and ended up as the clear weak link in a stacked Red Sox lineup. Now in Milwaukee, he’ll get to play half his games in Miller Park, where left-handed power plays way up. Shaw hit 16 homers last season, and it’s easy to see him pushing that total into the 20–25 range. Though he’s unlikely to be anything more than neutral in batting average, Shaw does have some sneaky speed (he swiped five bags in six tries last season). With the Brewers rebuilding, his streaky tendencies shouldn’t lead to lost playing time, and he could get the green light on the bases a bit more often. If things break right, you’re looking at a reasonable facsimile of Eric Hosmer at virtually no cost.
