Contract Value Index (CVI)
The Brewers' one-year, $3.5M commitment to Luis Rengifo earns a C+ CVI grade, reflecting a competent but unremarkable depth signing that addresses immediate infield needs without breaking new ground. Rengifo's utility value across multiple positions makes him a solid insurance policy, particularly given Milwaukee's track record of maximizing versatile role players, but his offensive limitations cap his ceiling as anything more than a bench contributor. At $3.5M AAV, the Brewers aren't overpaying for a depth piece who can handle spot starts and late-game defensive substitutions, though they're also not uncovering hidden value in a player whose career .250/.310/.380 slash line suggests replacement-level production. The short-term nature of the deal aligns perfectly with Milwaukee's competitive window, allowing them flexibility while avoiding long-term risk on a player who profiles as organizational depth rather than a difference-maker. This represents textbook roster maintenance rather than roster building — the kind of signing that keeps contending teams functional but rarely moves championship needles.
Performance Analysis
Luis Rengifo grades as an above average performer among MLB third basemen, earning a B Performance grade. He is hitting with a 0.250 batting average and a 0.688 OPS (below the league average of .720) this season. With 62 home runs and 230 RBI through 673 games (a 15-HR, 55-RBI pace over a full season), he brings moderate power to the lineup. His 52 stolen bases add an elite speed dimension that creates additional offensive value. As a prime-age veteran at 29, Luis is a key contributor for the Brewers. A 673-game sample provides high confidence in this grade.
