Fischer has less than 100 at bats in A ball. It would be amazing if he hits AAA this season.

Oh this is most def my anti-Wilken/Adams bias.

I like how members are calling out other members for their bold predictions, which is the purpose of this thread.  It's supposed to just be some fun.

Exactly, it is like criticizing somebody for being positive in the optimism thread.

I will go with Brice Turang making one more quantum leap and becoming MVP in 2026.

[Playing Catch]

With this team, 'twould be bolder to predict less-than-ideal outcomes.

Collins and Durbin were instrumental last season with their ability to keep the line moving. Can Rengifo/Hamilton and Mitchell/Perkins have that same effect? I'm dubious.

Fortunately, I'm expecting huge seasons from Contreras and Chourio. Those guys need no protection in the lineup to provide offense, and they are both at career stages where expecting big seasons makes sense.

It's also fortunate to have a comparative cornucopia brimming with pitching and defense, which will allow them to be in nearly every game.

I think they take advantage of a soft early schedule and will have a 3-game cushion on May 8th, when they'll welcome Aaron Judge to town.

He'll hit AAA for certain, I'd even say by midseason...

Maybe that should be blue.  Maybe not.

Maybe this post you are reading right now should be in the "What's Bugging You" thread.

I agree with this completely.

[Platoon Power]

#1. Garrett Mitchell stays healthy, plays great defense and posts an .800 OPS vs RHP

#2. Jett Williams ends up with nearly identical numbers to Caleb Durbin a year ago but does so between SS & CF.  His versatility creates a unique platoon between Garrett Mitchell & Joey Ortiz with Jett playing SS against RHP and CF against LHP.

#3. Jesus Made destroys AA & AAA pitching and forces his way to Milwaukee a few weeks before the deadline.  He takes the 3B job and runs with it.

#4. Brock Wilken makes the postseason roster and starts at DH when we face LHP

#5. With a loaded roster & farm system, the only move we make at the deadline is trading bottom of the roster players like Luis Rengifo & Rob Zastryzny for a low level prospect(s).

#6. Our top 13 pitchers all post an ERA+ over 100 and we finish with the best team ERA in the entire league. 

#7. We win the World Series with the deepest roster we've ever had in Milwaukee!

The pitching staff makes it through Spring Training without a significant injury.

Sproat is an Opening week SP who lays claim to a top 2 RoY.

I was not disappointed by his Italian job results...I am just saying...
