    Cards lost, LA leading 3-0, but Philly is down 4-1 to Arizona.

    Leskanic is always a popular option

    I can somewhat under not getting too invested in snagging the #2 seed at this point, but we are also deep enough in the season that team is more or less what the record says you are, so the Dodgers, Phillies, and Brewers are pretty similar, and because of how close they are to both teams it is either a matter of the Brewers playing really well down the stretch or 1 of those 2 underperforming somewhat. Way better odds of 1 of those things happening compared to the Cards over taking us.

    Jackson Merrill's stat line for the season is now very similar to Chourio's so he might be ahead but Chourio getting to 20/20 and defense might be a some noticeable advantages if the OPS' marks stay similar

    Skenes could also have a couple of blow up starts yet to change perception. Jackson getting started relatively early on his hot streak gives some time for things to build I think with today his OPS has been over .900 going back to Jun 1. Potentially becoming the face on a team headed to a division title while Yelich is on the bench can drive some votes too.

    That's the W

    In scenario number 3 people argue incessantly whatever their preexisting opinion.

    Trying to hit some new ideas, but adding talent to the system is always a good thing. One possible thing to consider is playing time with the roster limits and how deep out system is eventually guys with a real chance start to eat into each others development time. I haven't run a spot by spot analysis to confirm we are at that point, but the opportunity cost to signing anyone is at least worth thinking about at this point. One of the big ones I wanted to say is that for those critical of the process, as far as I can tell it's the same process as last year the difference is that while everyone seemed ready and willing to take us up on our offers last year this year we had to experience some of the risk that goes along with that reward. Others have mentioned the relative quality of the class, and I'll be curious to see in a few years how this class is panning out league wide. On a decision making level if the class does look very weak in a few years that would go a long way towards vindicating it was a good decision to hold some negotiating lines even if someone we don't sign looks like they are an exception to the trend of not being good. Last thing worth noting is that it's actually important from a negotiating standpoint to not just use all 5% everytime. If that becomes the expectation then the Brewers lose leverage on any deal making

    I don't like it because to make it feel worthwhile Montas has turn it around, and Weimer has to both not be able to hit in MLB and also not just be a random Brewer killer. Too many paths to regret here for my liking. It's worth noting that Joey has had a pretty good stretch in AAA with that power coming back the last month or so. Nothing definitive but it's not like he's still looking completely lost at the plate.

    Turbo I don't often disagree with you, but if none of the individuals are getting over used and most of them have been effective (not lock down perfect) how what is the issue? Given the ability to find useful bullpen arms what we are seeing is just a different way of getting those innings in, and given the relative mediocrity of our starters getting more pen innings is probably better. If we had a garbage pen or only a few relievers getting over worked it would be different, but what is the mechanism for team harm of general bullpen overuse?

    Her name is very close to an anagram of I'm a Mauler, more or less.

    Unless your name is Nolan Ryan, he gets even more impressive as time goes on. We should probably build space shuttles out of his tendons..

    I think there is a gray zone where perhaps both teams and athletes are more willing to take a short IL trip rather then fighting through in the same way the would when they were handing out salt pills.
  14. igor67
    If Mitchell's value is back up so to speak I'd definitely be willing to trade him for a quality starting pitcher. Might live to regret it or we might enjoy not having 2 OFers who are probably having good years if they get to 100+ games.
  15. igor67
    I can't get to worked up about that. Erceg had time to show he could turn that corner, but never got there with us. Maybe he does the same for us if still around or maybe for all the pitching labs excellence there was something he needed to do differently with someone else. The overall pattern of the organization is that players generally get a fair chance and they are constantly trying to find guys at the back end of the roster who can do pretty good things.
  16. igor67
    I haven't seen anyone compare predictions on the overall quality of a draft vs final production but there have definitely been entire years with very few MLB players coming out of a draft

    At what point do we just admit that the Rays and Brewers actually share a single 80-man roster and just take turns adjusting their individual 26-man?
  18. igor67
    I wonder if Stearns signed with the wrong New York team, he could be signing and trading for all of this previous players along with Rodgers and build a Juggernaut that can win the Super Bowl and WS with a time machine...

    Enough of the young guys have developed this year now that there is a path to the World Series that just involves 3-4 of them getting hot at the same time. Won't know if that happens till we get to October, but you can see the possibility now.

    This mid to late July schedule is about the nicest stretch I can recall. A homestand going into the All-star break, the break of course then a 'road trip' to the Twin Cities and Chicago before going back home. There's a pretty good chance that most of us are traveling more than the team over those 3 weeks.

    We should extend that guy

    And with the exception of Turang all the rest of the Brewers on that list have their totals lowered by reduced playing time. I mean both Frelick and Chourio made it at the same position.
  24. igor67
    The roster limits are definitely worth keeping in mind. And given how aggressively they seem to manage the 40-man and other parts of the organization I'm sure they are thinking hard about how to manage their chances with every single space.
  25. igor67
    Especially if I am a pitcher, I would find it hard to pass up a solid 6+ figure offer from the Brewers. Get premier development. A chance to get to MLB faster and the low minors salaries aren't as terrible anymore. And probably better care in case of an injury. In terms of draft strategy I expect that their pattern will again shift in a few years as industry patterns change. About the only constant has been liking up the middle prospects for awhile now.
