  1. I think that is close to being right. The Yankees own the Twins and not just in the playoffs either.
  2. I think you need to stay away from the draft power because you don't have power now. That could all change at any moment due to a trade or just the development of the prospects. But if you want power then taking Dakota Jordan or Tommy White in the first round would accomplish that. Maybe you go with Theo Gillen also for the Comp A pick. Gillen has some power though it is hard to tell with HS players. I wouldn't be surprised if he is the Brewers 1st round pick either. He has similar grades to Turang though with more power and less defensively. I think Gillen maybe more of an OF long term or maybe a 2B.
  3. This wouldn’t breach the antitrust exemption I believe. Though if enough noise is made it could be threatened to be removed and if I were a team like the Cowboys I would welcome the removal. As it would then allow a team like the Cowboys to negotiate a TV deal for themselves.
  4. Netflix will air the Christmas games for the next 3-years. The teams local viewers will still be able to watch the games but anyone out of market will have to watch on Netflix or NFL+ on mobile app. So for example if you live in Minnesota or the UP you won’t be able to watch that game unless you have Netflix. I wonder how long the NFL will keep the local cities get to watch these games without a subscription to one of the streaming services. At some point they will reverse this and probably when the boomer generation is no longer a viable revenue stream.
  5. The bad suicide squeeze was worse.
  6. Frelick has no confidence at the plate. Mitchell needs to get healthy in a hurry as Frelick does not look like a MLB OF.
  7. The Cardinals should really have closer to 10 runs than the 4 they have.
  8. You won't find that the majority of the time where the Brewers are picking. Those players are usually gone by the 10th pick. If you want a plus hit tool then White is probably the best option at 17. If the Brewers take another short player I think this board may explode as Caldwell is only 5'8". Theo Gillen may be someone the Brewers take in the 2nd round if he is still there. It will probably take something closer to the comp A pick to get him to sign.
  9. It was a strike that pitch has been called a strike all game. Watch the game.
  10. You need your eyes checked that wasn’t anywhere close to being neck high unless Adames was only about four feet tall.
  11. Goldschmidt looks like he is 50-years old swinging the bat up there.
  12. I don't think Edey will be a good NBA player. He is another good in college but not really all that good in the NBA. With the Bucks first pick I really want DaRon Holmes II. If the Bucks keep Lopez for another year they need to take Holmes with their first round pick. Holmes should be able to replace Lopez and he is an excellent shot blocker along with being able to score from 3-pt range. He may not be as good as Lopez is but he is close. He is also far more athletic than Lopez is. I wouldn't be surprised if Holmes would take some playing time away from Lopez as the season goes on.
  13. I don't think Benge fits into the Brewers model. Interesting player but not someone the Brewers will target and if they do I think they will convert him to his best position whatever that may be. I think Cijntje is another name you could possibly put for that comp A pick. Though I think we may need to look at JUCO players for the 2nd or Comp B pick.
  14. Right I would be surprised if the Brewers go pitchers in the first round. Though at the comp pick or 2nd round pick I expect them to go pitcher if the pitcher they want is there like Sterling or Baptist. I think they go JUCO in round 2 and I don't think they will have to go cheap in the first two rounds as they have a lot of money to spend so I wouldn't be surprised if it is 2 JUCO or 2 HS pitchers for Comp A and Comp B picks. First round I think they go college bat so Culpepper, Smith, White or Jordan at 17. Then another college or HS bat at 57. Should be an exciting draft for the Brewers this year as they will have a lot of money to play with as they have about $13mm to play with.
  15. Depends what scouting reports you read. Out of HS he was thought of as a really good hitter.
  16. I think Frelick needs to go back down once Mitchell is ready.
  17. Right now looking at the board some of the players I want the Brewers to take look to be gone well before they pick and the player I would like to see them draft with the comp A pick will be gone right after they pick or there about. At 17 it looks like the Brewers will have their pick of Caminiti (LHP), Culpepper (SS/3B), Tommy White (3B) or Dakota Jordan (OF/1B). Jordan still K's a lot currently sitting at about 28% but OMG that bat speed and power. He needs to work on his pitch recognition though it has improved. He is still raw at the plate when it comes to pitch recognition. Jordan has Weeks like bat speed. He has the arm and speed to play RF though I am not sure he has the instincts to play there though he reminds me of a smaller version of Bo Jackson in the OF. The Brewers haven't drafted a HS pitcher in the first round in a long time. So I would be extremely surprised if they take Caminiti at 17. He has a strong commit to LSU and would require a team to go over slot to sign him. He still needs to work on his off speed pitches but his FB is really good with some scouts grading it a 70! Culpepper is a slick fielding SS who also can hit. He screams Brewers draft pick at 17. He is more of a doubles hitter right now but he could find some power. He has a rather balanced swing which could lead to some more HR power. He does have a little bit of a stride in his pre swing. He can play either SS or 3B as he has the arm for both and the athleticism to play at either. He is a very Brewers type of a player. Tommy White is an interesting selection at 17 if he is available. He may rub some people the wrong way though. Excellent baseball player though and he should stick at 3B and provide enough HR power at 3B along with hitting for a decent average. He kind of reminds me of a mix between Josh Donaldson and Bryce Harper personality wise. Tommy White: At 34 I think the Brewers go with Levi Sterling. Similar to Knoth last year. If the Brewers go Culpepper or White at 17 and then Sterling at 34 that would be very comparable to last years draft. I think it will be Culpepper at 17 and Sterling at 34 but don't be surprised if the Brewers go with a college pitcher like Dallas Baptist at 34.
  18. I wonder if the White Sox would be open to trading Luis Robert once he returns from his injury. The White Sox were not willing to take offers this off season or last year during the deadline. But I wonder if they would be more willing to move him this deadline if they continue to play like they have. I don't think the White Sox would be interested in Frelick, Wiemer or Mitchell and the only prospect the Brewers have that comes close to his value would be Chourio and I don't see the Brewers doing that trade. I think the White Sox would want Misio, Wilken and another prospect or two for Robert. I would be tempted to do that trade as Robert would be a clear upgrade in either CF or RF depending on where you want to play Chourio. Robert as the #3 or #4 hitter would allow the team to move Adames and Hoskins down the batting order. A lineup consisting of the below wouldn't be all that bad and probably increases the Brewers chances for the next couple of years in the playoffs. Losing Misio and Wilken would hurt especially Misio since the Brewers don't have many impact pitching right now. 1. Yelich 2. Contreras 3. Robert 4. Hoskins 5. Adames 6. Ortiz 7. Bauers 8. Turang 9. Chourio I don't think the White Sox would do this and it would cost a bit more than Misio, Wilken plus more, but it is fun to speculate and dream on Robert being in the Brewers lineup.
  19. Draft ranking is irrelevant in the MLB draft. There are far more variables at play than there is in the NBA or NFL. You have to take into account did the team draft someone in a previous round who will be above slot? Does the team need to save some money and take a player who will sign below slot with the current pick so the team is able to offer someone else over slot money. Also teams tend to rank players differently based on if they are JUCO, college, or HS. There are just way too many variables to say the team should draft someone based on the "consensus".
  20. If Myers can get a bit better control he could be a solid #4 or #5 pitcher.
  21. Not sure what the replay person saw but I don't think they looked at the replay.
