Contract Value Index (CVI)
Chad Patrick's one-year, $0.8M deal with the Brewers earns a C+ CVI — a reasonable gamble on a solid starter at minimal financial risk. For a team in Milwaukee's competitive window, Patrick represents the type of back-of-rotation depth that contending clubs need, especially given the Brewers' history of developing pitching talent and maximizing value from unheralded arms. At just $800K, this contract carries virtually zero downside for an organization that's proven adept at extracting performance from reclamation projects, and Patrick's solid starter profile suggests he could provide 2-3 WAR if everything clicks. The short-term commitment preserves flexibility while the Brewers continue developing their farm system arms, and given their payroll constraints, finding rotation pieces at this price point is essential for maintaining competitiveness. While Patrick isn't a difference-maker, this deal exemplifies smart roster construction — low cost, decent upside, and easy to move on from if it doesn't work out.
Performance Analysis
Chad Patrick grades as an All-Star caliber performer among MLB starting pitchers, earning a B+ Performance grade. He carries a 3.53 ERA (near the league average of 4.20) and a 1.28 WHIP across 119.2 innings pitched with a 9.6 K/9 rate. His 3-8 record provides context on team support and run prevention. A 9.6 K/9 rate indicates above-average swing-and-miss stuff. As a rookie at 27, Chad is a key contributor for the Brewers. With only 27 games on record, this grade carries a smaller sample size caveat.
