    With the off day on Monday, they won't need a 6th starter until 7/23. Then with the off day on 7/27, they won't need one until 8/2 and then maybe 8/6. But with off days on 8/10, 8/14, 8/21, and 8/24, they shouldn't need a 6th starter until the end of August. Burnes can suck it up and pitch on 4 days rest on 8/20; he won't need to pitch again until 8/27.

    As I said, adaptive cruise isn't the same. Adaptive cruise doesn't work in heavy stop/go rush hour traffic.

    This is what I'm looking at Good range (up to 350 miles), and my understanding is that the Traffic Jam Assist will keep a steady distance between you and the vehicle in front of you in heavy stop/go traffic without going gas/brake/gas/brake/gas/brake/etc. That is the #1 feature that I am looking for in a future vehicle. Going gas/brake/gas/brake/gas/etc. in heavy traffic hurts my knee and has triggered my plantar fasciitis - I've had to operate the pedals with my left foot while I try to massage the cramp out of my right foot. Adaptive cruise control, available on many vehicles, is not the same; I believe disengages if you come to a stop for more than 3-5 seconds and you need to get up to 25-30 in order to engage it.

    He's making over $500K in NIL from what I hear. Maybe $750K.

    What I suspected has now been confirmed. My former company just posted my team's roles based out of Mexico City. I knew that they were building a low-employee-cost hub there and had heard that it was Sales Development Reps. Apparently my team, too. Offshoring is no longer just for blue collar jobs. If your white-collar job doesn't require external or executive communication necessitating native English-speaking or needing to be on-site, it's at risk of being offshored. I wonder what the employee engagement scores would be now. Hard to have any trust in executive leadership and not live in fear that your job is next.

    I get groceries at Mariano's, which is under the Kroger umbrella. Kroger just came out with their brand of no-sugar-added yogurt... and it's phenomenal. Key Lime, Cinnamon Roll, and White Chocolate Raspberry are the ones I've had so far and they're the best tasting yogurts I've ever had. And they're selling them for $0.60/each.

    I don't know about Austin (10th round pick), but the other three pitchers have something. Kuehner had five saves for Louisville and 12.7 K/9 in 38 IP this past season. Yoho had 15.3 K/9 over 37 IP at Indiana. Manfredi had 10.9 K/9 at Dayton and 11.1 K/9 in 13 IP so far in the CCL. Maybe there's a potential reliever or two in that group.

    Yeah, those two must be major under-slot agreements and must have an agreement with Knoth that isn't over-slot. I've got the over/under for Boeve at $800K (on a $1.55M slot) and $1M total under-slot between Boeve and Woodward. Another $725K on senior signs for rounds 7-10 and $530K in overage gives them at least $2.3M for Pratt and Bitonti.

    Wrong Woodward. They drafted Jason Woodward, not Jackson Woodward.

    https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=woodwa000jas Only 3 games this past season (injured?), started all three, 13.2 IP, 7 H, 6 BB, 18 K. There's something there. Pitched in CCL in 2022, gave up a lot of hits but 9.3 K/9 and 3.1 BB/9 in 23.1 IP.

    Also in that 2021 draft, they picked Roc Riggio in the 11th round but he didn't sign either. Rumors were that the Brewers offered up to $1M for him to forego college. Riggio is a draft-eligible sophomore being 21 years old; he has leverage to go back to Oklahoma State but maybe he's open to $1M given that he's 21 now. Had a really good year at OSU, increased his walks and decreased his K's, but with a "fringy" arm is still limited to 2B or LF.

    Back in 2021, the Brewers drafted LHP Hunter Hollan in the 15th round out of JC but he didn't sign. Hollan is ranked #100 on MLB.com, and the Brewers have been known to follow guys they didn't sign. From MLB: Known more for his polish than his stuff at San Jac, Hollan averaged 87 mph with his fastball last spring before sitting at 93-94 and touching 97 with late life in shorter stints last fall. He has operated at 90-92 mph and hit 97 as junior while flashing three solid secondary pitches, the best of which is a 71-75 mph downer curveball that could use a bit more power but gets swings and misses. He utilizes a two-plane slider that parks around 80 mph and a firm mid-80s changeup with some tumble. Hollan mixes his four offerings well and throws them all for strikes. He has an athletic delivery that he repeats well and a lean frame with room to add more strength. Even though he hasn't held all of the power he added when he first arrived in Fayetteville, his high floor as a pitchability left-hander could land him in the third round. I like the "athletic delivery" which suggests that he might be able to add more strength and get he velo back up to mid-90's.

    There's your double-dip at 3B, though there is question if Boeve can stick there. Curious as to why Whitman is dropping.
  14. LouisEly
    Paul Wilson, HS LHP and son of former MLB pitcher Trevor Wilson, is still out there. Wouldn't mind him.
  15. LouisEly
    I'm shocked he's still available. He went to the Cape and in his first start went 5 IP, 2 H, 0 BB, 9 K.
  16. LouisEly
    Cincinnati grabbing Lowder and Floyd. I think they see their window starting right now.
  17. LouisEly
    Devin Williams wasn't converted to a reliever until his seventh year in the organization. He's 17. Plenty of time to develop.
  18. LouisEly
    Knoth went to the same high school as another undersized pitcher - Marcus Stroman. I'd take another of him.
  19. LouisEly
    Whitman, Wolters, Soto
  20. LouisEly
    #18: Jacob Gonzalez, SS, Mississippi Matt Shaw, SS/2B, Maryland Brock Wilken, 3B, Wake Forest Ha!

    6-5 Jake Gatewood says hello
  22. LouisEly
    Corbin Carroll, Matt McClain, Jose Ramirez, Ozzie Albies, Mookie Betts...
  23. LouisEly
    They have Melendez, who won't be a free agent until 2029, so a 5-6 year horizon catcher might make more sense than a 3-4 year horizon catcher.

    ESPN flashed Skenes as the Pirates pick just before Manfred took the stage...
  25. LouisEly
    I think that's it. If all three are gone (and assuming Gonzalez is gone as well) my dark horse is Whitman in an under-slot deal and then HS picks at #33 (Wolters, Farmelo, Santana) and possibly #54 (Zanetello, C. Johnson, P. Wilson). Jonny Farmelo is my sleeper here; probably not #18 but definitely #33. Athlete, size (6'2", 205), plus runner, speed and range to play center, plus bat speed, LHH. Sounds like a profile the Brewers target. Being in HS he likely won't rush to the majors and create a logjam with Mitchell/Frelick/Wiemer/Chourio like Davis might.
