Where's Josiah Hartshorn? Our ridiculous package is much better. Chalk it up as just another thing better for the Brewers compared to the Cubs

A full thread of these could be gold in a few years to look back on 

Given, most of these prospects will probably fair better in our system than others, I don’t think this would look quite like you are thinking. (Assuming you are inferring we are going to see all the great players experts wanted us to trade for Skubal etc.)

Statistically, most prospects fail and while top prospects might have higher floors, their failure to get anywhere near their potential is just as great. I mean look at Chourio, he has shown flashes, but he has yet to break out to be the star he is supposed to be and he very well may never. (Yes I do know he is just 22)

Most of the guys we are pearl clutching are likely going to be a fraction of their potential. Lucky if one actually reaches their potential. We all pearl clutched a player in the Yelich trade, I don’t know if any of them had a positive career WAR.  The most regretful guys we have traded over the years have been mostly lower minor league players.

Of course, we don’t know if Made is going to flop, Lara is going to flop, if Fischer is going to be Barry Bonds, or if Harrison is going to end up an injury riddled mess. It will be interesting regardless to look at this time in retrospect years from now. Hopefully whatever decision we make ends up in a World Series trophy. Be that 2026 or 2030.

Fixed.
