NL Central Notes: Yelich, Burdi, Moore

By Jeff Todd | April 10, 2020 at 11:06pm CDT

Brewers star Christian Yelich is drawing plaudits for his charitable efforts during the coronavirus pause, as Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel writes. He’s playing an active role in both Milwaukee and his native California, with the latter effort an extension of prior work in his home state. “We’re in a fortunate position,” Yelich says of he and his partners in the California Strong foundation (including teammate Ryan Braun). “Not everybody has the ability to have the same reach. We understand that. In tough times, people understand if they can help, they should and they will.”

More from the NL Central:

  • While he’s a total health wild card at this point, Pirates reliever Nick Burdi had shown some signs of a rebound in camp, as Mike Persak of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. His eye-popping fastball has returned after his latest rehab effort — occasioned by surgery that followed a hard-to-watch mid-game injury. Burdi may benefit from an extended layoff, though it seems he was largely back to full strength. The Pirates will have plenty of flexibility in utilizing him once the season gets underway. Burdi still has options remaining and it’s likely that we’ll see temporarily expanded rosters regardless, so he can be handled with care. If the season ends up being wiped out, the 27-year-old will get a full season of service and quality for arbitration, though he’d also have limited earning capacity given his thin MLB track record (just ten innings).
  • The work stoppage has presented an unusual situation for everyone, but it’s actually a continuation for one pitcher. Andrew Moore had thrown remotely after signing a minors deal with the Reds, as Steve Mims of the Register Guard writes. The plan was for the 25-year-old to show up later in spring before heading to one of the top Cincinnati affiliates. Moore is instead continuing to send in his video and other data to the club. You won’t be surprised to learn that he has prior experience with Reds pitching coordinator Kyle Boddy, who has links with many of the hurlers that the organization has inked this winter. Moore is a former second-round pick of the Mariners. He has thrown 63 2/3 total innings of 5.51 ERA ball in the majors with the Seattle club, but was left searching for a career reset after a brutal 2019 showing in which he bounced between multiple organizations and compiled an 8.02 ERA in 101 upper-minors frames.

    I have a man crush on Yelich and I’m not afraid to admit it. Unfortunately (and fortunately) he already tied the knot with the Brew Crew

      He was a top prospect for the Mariners and was never given a great shot in the big leagues, although he had pretty bad numbers in his limited action. He also gave up a triple decker home run to judge in ‘17.

    I believe Burdi still has to remain with the Bucs on the major league roster for a number of days due to the rule 5 claim that brought him to Pittsburgh in the first place. He was getting close to earning the required time to fulfill the rule 5 requirements when he left with his injury from what I remember. Was said then that he still had to be on major league roster when he returned from this most recent time on the IL.

      You are correct. I believe he has about a month to go before he is free of Rule 5 restrictions.
      On another note, a shortened season and expanded rosters could benefit this years Rule 5 picks sticking all year

    Christian yelich just scored on a major contract and got the Milwaukee Brewers s complete imbeciles. This contract will be something that the Brewers will suffer for many years and bring the organization down because he is a gimmick

      You are calling someone else an imbecile and yet you obviously didnt or cannot proofread your own post, let alone negotiate a long term player contract?

      Nice job devaluing your own comment, imbecile.
