    A bit OT, but holy crap, I would not have guessed that. 14 first round picks from that year so far have negative career bWAR. Hiura was the 10th overall pick and currently has the 8th highest career bWAR (seventh if you exclude Rasmussen who didn't sign that year). Not looking like a good draft year. With the exception of 2005, it seems like the years that the Brewers get high draft picks are the years with the worst drafts (2003, 2004, 2016, 2017).

    When is the last time that you've seen a June bug? I *may* have seen one tonight fly in front of my TV on my rooftop deck - not sure, but if it was, it would be the first one that I recall seeing in 20 years.

    The Brewers don't have a strong recent track record of cleaning up the delivery of first round pitchers...

    The Brewers did draft Turang recently, so they are not averse to drafting HS position players. But I think it would have to be someone who has plus defensive value.

    An idea... If you're in STTEM (the extra "T" is for teaching... or maybe it's STEEM with an "E" for education), the government takes over the loans and converts them to zero interest. Maybe a % forgiveness for every year spent teaching because of lack of supply and relatively low pay. Everyone else... pay it back.

    I assume that he doesn't plan on becoming a homeowner anytime soon (many contractors don't take electronic payments or charge a 3% fee for using one, which for a $20K bathroom remodel is an extra $600, well worth writing a check).

    I would never have guessed that Tacko Fall and Jabari Parker were born in the same year.

    Wrong Brayden Taylor page linked above. It is kind of funny that this article is linked in his B-R.com page.

    Just hang in there, get Woody back, get Ashby and Wilson back to get some LHRP reinforcements, and they'll have the staff to compete with anyone in a 7-game series.

    Is the solution Christian Yelich? He was drafted as a 1B. If Frelick can get back on track he can play LF. Anderson/Perkins can play RF. Or maybe it's acquire an OF and move Yelich to 1B.

    I wouldn't trade Burnes for less than two starting pitching prospects regardless of how many position players are included. Rays would need to add another arm to that deal.

    And May 15th. Take that game away and the Brewers RD is -3 and the Cardinals is -27. Hell, just take away the 8th inning of that game and the run differentials are Brewers -11 and the Cardinals -19. I've said this before and I'll say it again, Pythagorean/run differential should only include two standard deviations from the median and should exclude the 2.5% largest wins and 2.5% largest losses.

    Everyone looks good in highlights film. It just seems odd that a 3rd-year college player averaging less than 7ppg as a starter goes #36 overall. I could understand if he was a freshman or if he was behind other star players, but a 3rd year player and starter is a bit odd.

    No NIL. UCLA made him pay his own way on an unofficial. Nothing more than a 17-year-old kid from the midwest falling in love with LA. On the flip side, looks like they just got 2025 QB Landyn Locke, younger brother of Braedyn Locke.

    The father of Braves player Charlie Culberson was scheduled to throw out the first pitch before today's game. The Braves DFA'd Culberson right before the game.

    Unless Tom has made significant strength gains in the offseason, I don't see him at center. He struggled with anchoring against bigger DEs (Rams game) last year, much less NT/DTs.

    I am absolutely shocked that UW does not give its employees off on Juneteenth.

    Olson pitched well in 2022, but didn't exactly earn the promotion in 2023. 1.745 WHIP and 5.4 BB/9 in AAA before the callup. Career 4.0 BB/9 in the minors, so his 2022 was more of the outlier. I didn't like the trade either, but at this point it isn't a win for Detroit.

    Here's a great article written by one of my professional colleagues on the psychological impacts of being unemployed.

    Schanuel has played some OF this spring, and some scouts believe he can play corner OF. Over the last two seasons he has 25 SB vs 2 CS, giving reason to believe he's athletic enough. Question is if his arm is adequate for RF or if he can only play LF.
  22. LouisEly
    Yes and no. A mid-market team might be willing to do that at the trade deadline, knowing that if things fall apart they can trade Burnes in the off-season for 80% of what they gave up. However, as long as the Brewers stay in contention (and as bad as they've been they still have the 4th most wins in the NL), they aren't dealing Burnes at the deadline. The beauty of waiting until the offseason is that the Brewers can agree to a trade in principle first and then let that team negotiate an extension with Burnes as a contingency of the deal. If a team knows that they can for sure extend Burnes, that eliminates some risk which increases the return for Burnes.

    Job searches - at least when you're a later-in-life career switcher without a lot of experience in your field - are anything but a vacation. This is my fourth job search since 2015 and each of them has taken at least five months.

    This is part of the issue - that seat is designed for players to be able to see over the railing onto the field. I'd argue that players need to see what is going on. Perhaps they can pick up on pitchers tendencies and/or tipping pitches, what runners do before trying to steal, defensive alignments, etc. But they certainly want to see what is going on. In the dugout the fencing/netting makes it hard to see details. Thus why they stick their head over the top. The solution is to make the railing higher and replace the netting with plexiglass. Plexiglass works for hockey pucks that are coming at 100mpg; it can work for baseballs AND give players the ability to clearly see what's going on..

    Good call on Vradenburg. Hasn't hit a lot of HRs, but with some pro coaching and development could turn some of those doubles into HRs. Certainly has the size for it. Big strike zone with that height so won't draw a ton of walks, but more walks than Ks. Wouldn't at all be opposed to him in the 5th round or later. Schanuel at #33 would fantastic if he's still there. The SBs suggest that he might be able to play corner OF depending on arm strength. If the Brewers believe he can play OF it wouldn't be a surprise to see him at #18.
