2. Jhoulys Chacin

Jhoulys Chacin is the only Brewers’ pitcher you’ll find on this list who’s here because of results on the mound. Overall, it’s hard to nitpick a staff who’s registered a 3.19 earned run average so far.

Even without a stud in the starting rotation, Chacin is the clear sore spot.

In seven starts so far, he’s recorded a 4.54 earned run average and has allowed 9.9 hits per nine innings to go along with 1.1 home runs per nine. Those numbers are certainly not something to hang your hat on.

What’s worse is he’s only made it through the sixth inning one time and has failed to make it out of the fifth in over half his starts. He’s been very taxing on the bullpen, as they often have to cover long portions of the game in order to make it through the night.

He wasn’t expected to be a stud, coming in with a career ERA of 3.95 and his best days are probably behind him. However, the Brewers were hoping he’d be closer to the type of pitcher he showed with the San Diego Padres last season.
