Remember Ethan Small.lol

Pretty sure I never touted him as a sure-fire prospect and was concerned with the high BB rate and lack of an effective 3rd pitch. It seems sometimes as if your sole purpose is to try to mess with me.

Brewers with 6 top 100 prospects in this list which was released last week. Chourio (#11), Frelick (#41), Turang (#58), Wiemer (#64), Ruiz (#92), Gasser (#99). All but Chourio finished the year in AAA. There's one area that you can use to improve the team this offseason, whether by bringing them up to the big-league club or trading them for established talent. 

How about Ethan Small? Just Baseball, really. I hope you can do better than that.

Maximize his value?? Do you think that happened and given that it cost you a playoff was it worth it?? This is my whole point. I don't think the Brewers care all that much about trying to win right now otherwise they would have kept Hader. I see no evidence that they won't be ok with a down year in order to bounce back.

We got two really promising prospects in return (Top 100 prospects, per some outlets). If even one of those guys develops into a contributor, then it will have been worth it value-wise. The loss of Hader didn't cost us a playoff spot. It was how the entire team responded after he was dealt that cost us the playoffs. Hader might have even further torpedoed our chances given how bad he was for an extended stretch.

Just baseball is an emerging platform within the baseball news industry. I highlighted it here because it was published recently and takes into account the entire minor league season. There are good sources for prospects other than BA. I would hope you're not stuck in the late 1980s/90s. Again, where did I tout Ethan Small as a sure thing? Cause I didn't.

Then wait for a credible platform. BS you didn’t. You were complaining to bring him up weeks before they did. The entire site knows that. And who said “sure thing”. Spin it again.

Okay, it's obvious that you have no intent of honest discussion, here, so I'm going to bid you a good night.

You asked the question. Admit it, it’s not that hard. And you’re not:messing with Me? Lol

A picture of the celebration of the walk-off came through my social media. Kinda weird since they were eliminated from the playoffs.

A watered down playoffs with an extra spot I guess. Bottom line again is to win a world series. You keep talking about making the playoffs. If they made who were they going to beat?? Honestly. They are not good enough in any aspect of the game except starting pitching. That is a fact and if you want to run it back and hope that guys who can't hit start to cool. I think it is a mistake and I think the Brewers know it too.

If their starting pitching performs up to potential, they can beat any team. The Cardinals won the WS when they won 83 games during the season.

They walked the game off before the Phillies game went final I believe and even then you still celebrate walkoffs.
