  1. Question for thought: Is the Brewers depth so extreme in comparison to normal that it is systematically under rated by outside evaluators? AKA despite having lots of eyes there is still a fundamental bias towards everyone gets a top 30, so whether it is the hype factor or just National evaluators have to spend time on other teams 20-30 prospects instead of our 30-50 are those players not getting their full due?
  2. Much happier seeing team revenue go to these changes then racing to see yet another record free agent contract.
  3. A potential TOR starter pitching in AA is our number 9 prospect. And none of the usual red flags (very wild or serious injury)...
  4. If 2 out of 3 between Wilken, Adams, and Burke develop to be corner IF threats it sure does a lot of great things for the lineup
  5. Not saying it is over 50% or anything but between platoon advantages, bounce back and regression there is now some level of chance our 3rd basemen out perform Durbin.
  6. Of course sponsoring elbow pads is the real next frontier for personal injury lawyers.
  7. That seems very reasonable and goes a long way towards limiting the downside. And if the team is really thinking Wilken or someone else in the minors is going to force the issue later in the year, I can't imagine that Urias would actually hold up that process. Either internally you shuffle things anyway to cover for injuries later in the season, or you can probably flip him for the modest salary you are paying him.
  8. Wilken definitely has a window of opportunity open to him, and with so many potential options behind him in an organization that likes to move people around it behooves him to take it.
  9. The 8 man model works out pretty well. Assume a typical appearance is 4 innings to get through the order twice. It leaves just 1 inning to cover per day and 4-5 5 bullpen arms to do it, so there is certainly some chances to play match ups in there, and a cushion to absorb one of the 2 'starters' struggling. You have 41 starts to cover, so the innings total ends up around 150-160 for the season. I would think only typically going more like 60-70 pitches means the one day less recovery is reasonable.
  10. Is his beard sponsored by Nicolet Law office?
  11. Any idea how it works if we already get MLB.tv from T-mobile? In the past it was great when I lived out of market, but since moving back to in Market not so much.
  12. Given the prospects at 3B and Harrison's potential consider what the team looks like if Harrison develops like Priester along with everyone else and say Wilken is ready for a midseason promotion. To me this looks like rolling the dice of dropping a win or two of the course of a season but with the chance to have a stronger team in October. No guarantees of course, but I think that is the play.
  13. It's all about them switching their voting habits. Realizing that they will never be able to come close to competing on revenue in the current environment going into CBA negotiations is huge.
  14. I think there is a good chance between Jackson, Made, and Pena that one of them ends up as the next career Brewer. Before committing even more to Jackson though I need to see him truly deliver as a hitter. He is plenty valuable right now but he needs your long career players typically have much better hitting stat peaks to justify sticking around. Again he's not bad, but I'm not going to commit money that far in the future without seeing evidence of what his peak looks like.
  15. I really need a Brewers World Series appearance this year...
  16. You now have an increasing percentage of the league going this way, potentially a big enough chunk that you can seriously threaten to lift the blackout restrictions in local markets in exchange for better revenue sharing. That's the real angle. And how many cable subscribers would jump off in LA or NYY since they already get MLB.tv for free as part of T-mobile? The biggest nuisance is that neither of my Smart TVs let me download new streaming apps, so I have to screen cast from my lap top.
  17. I feel like someone had written a story a while ago about 1 part of what the Brewers are doing that seems to cause a lot of the projections systems to keep under estimating them, but don't remember what it was specifically.
  18. I strongly suspect Suarez is the bigger risk to just absolutely fall apart. Even in the modern environment a small decline and I think that offense only profile just falls apart.
  19. 90's Cleveland Indians are a good example of surplus. Sure maybe 'development' involved extra tools not available today but at the end of the day they cranked out a large number of guys who could mash in OF and 1B
  20. I double checked and yep Terry Bradshaw only had 2 more TDs in his career than INTs
  21. I don't see an extension making much sense for either side when it comes to Vaughn or the Brewers. He's already gotten double digit millions, and even if non-tendered he can still likely squeeze out a few more million somewhere else. So he isn't likely to do a steep discount, and there's no real defense or base running to help support the bat so if the end of year improvements don't stick even $10 million a year looks like wasted money really fast. I think there are plenty of reasons to believe he will be worth the salary, but we have too many reasonable options for 1st base after this year. If he has a big year I also don't think the 1 year big arby number is a problem either. So I put a trade at less than 50%. The other two though seem highly likely
  22. Catcher really feels like the big wild card. So many infield guys and a bunch of corner guys that it seems likely that we will have good options for awhile. Quero's development though is a big question and with only Dinges at the moment there just isn't the same level of depth. Not that I would call it a 'problem' but it is the position with the most potential to prove challenging to fill and come close to replacing Contrearas contributions.
  23. I've long been curious how Tyler Black's initial debut would have gone if he had the ABS system. He got the rookie treatment on a bunch of takes right away and I got the impression it put him out of his normal game as he tried to adjust.
  24. It's also what they generally try and do, stack up a number of different options and then let the combination of development and injuries sort things out. Which I'm guessing means there is still a solid chance that Mitchell ends up influencing where Jett starts the season as well.
