The Brewers continued the rebuilding process on Friday dealing power-hitting outfielder Khris Davis to the Athletics in exchange for prospects. Here’s what my fancy computer math thinks of the prospects who are now property of the Milwaukee Brewers.

Jacob Nottingham, C, 6.8 WAR (Profile)

Nottingham was a former sixth-round pick who broke out in a big way in A-Ball last year. After an underwhelming two years in a Rookie Ball, he slashed .309/.364/.493 in 122 games between the Houston and Oakland organizations. He had a wee bit of trouble making contact as evidenced by his 20% strikeout rate. But he made up for it by hitting for loads of power.

An 850-plus OPS from a 20-year-old in full-season ball is impressive in and of itself, but it’s Nottingham’s defensive position — catcher — that makes his KATOH forecast elite. He isn’t a slam dunk to stick at catcher, however. So, to give you a sense of what KATOH would think of a first baseman version of Jacob Notingham, I ran his numbers with his position set to 1B. The verdict is… 2.2 WAR. That’s not an irrelevant prospect, but not a particularly notable one, either.

Here are his catcher Mahalanobis comps:

And here are the comps for Jacob Nottingham, first baseman:

Bubby Derby, RHP (Profile)

With Derby, there isn’t much to report, other than that his name is at least a 70. He was drafted in the sixth round last year and tossed 37 innings in the low minors. He posted a 33% strikeout rate, 1.21 ERA and 2.52 FIP in those 37 innings, but 37 innings in the low minors aren’t particularly telling.

A bit more telling, perhaps, are the 103 innings he threw at San Diego State before he was drafted. His 131 strikeouts were easily the most of any pitcher in the Mountain West Conference. Nobody else had more than 80. Derby may not have been deemed an early-round talent last June, but he’s dominated at every stop thus far.
