    First off who is Adam? I assume that’s an auto correct? Areinamo? Second - power hitting, catchers, and more SS are gaps. We have Pratt as a SS. Brown struggling (as is Aguilar he), Areinamo is shorter and could move to 2B (like DiTuri), and we may have Peña and Made in theDSL. But that’s it for SS. Also very Little catching depth as a prospect outside of Quero. And power hitters outside of Wilken, maybe L. Adams, and now Burke. So those are some gaps. Still love the pitching to restock the system.

    Wow. Kelly fell off this year. This time last year I was really lamenting his loss in that trade. 2022 - future's game 2023 - top ranked reliever in Rangers org 2024 - DFA'd and claimed by Colorado Makes the Matt Bush trade suck a little less. Good luck to him and hope he gets healthy and can get to the bigs someday.

    Again the draft is such a crapshoot. A very good draft will net 3-4 regular MLBers, and a great one 3-6 with a All Star type in there. And usually teams don't have that in multiple years in a row. Most of these guys will not pan out, but the hope there is something there that the development team can bring out. I don't know that anyone was excited about Craig Yoho this time last year (well very few people were). The 11-20 round selections will be interesting, to see if the potential savings net a 3rd -6th round value there. What I see in this draft is we drafted about 4 2nd round players - and I will assume they will draft a 4th-5th round value today with a JuCo pitcher and a couple of top 10 round talents on day 3 and hopefully sign a couple of them. Then let the development process begin.

    And a walk, HBP and 3 singles, and the lead is now 8-4 Goryl, with the DSL Brewers Uno coming up to bat in the 9th to try to extend the game. At least the DSL-2 held on to win. Anderson and Tovar both 2-4 to help lead the offense.

    I know but for a few years it looked like that was not going to be the case. Stupid pitchers hitting. However, compare the Suppan Brewers years to those of Nelson: Nelson 4.6 to Suppan -0.7 (bWAR with MIL only)

    The general premise is that you select a player you like first knowing that they may not be available for the next selection, and then if that other player is still there (Miz in 2022; Bitonti & Pratt last year) you select them and do what you can with the slot money. The other part is that if you take said player higher and they don't sign you lose a bigger piece of the slot pool (ie Pratt last year). But most teams know that they will sign their top 10 round selections, and the rates of non-signing is very low and the ones I recall are very unusual situations (injury; or occasionally I would guess it was miscommunication where a scout/team may have assumed a player was willing to for a set amount). The Corey Ray comp stuff reminds me of the 2010 draft when Jimmy Nelson was selected and his comp was Jeff Suppan lol.

    Ugh. Pretty bad day throughout the organization. The Brewers pre ASG slump is real, and apparently infectious in a bad way

    Great review. It highlights that a good draft nets a few MLB regulars, and a great draft gets a HOF/Perennial All Star player. So even though some had 7-8 MLBers, most were fringe and not regular. Also interesting you counted J. Burnitz as part of the 1987 draft when he didn’t sign - was drafted a few years later by the Mets before get traded to Cleveland and then to Milwaukee in the Kevin Seitzer trade. So he WAS drafted by the Brewers, but did not join us directly from the draft.

    Mitchell played 12 games at AAA and had an OPS of > 1.000. So he did have a mini ramp up and looked good in a small # of games (maybe not quite spring training by still a good number). He may not do much better in AAA. He is either off with timing or just still adjusting to big league pitching. He is still struggling mightily but not sure how to improve it - more practice, time with coaches/video etc. Less regular playing time to set up better match ups?

    Bad news - Misiorowski lost the no hitter, but seriously he has 4 IP, 6K 0BB, and on,y 45 pitches to get thru 4. It is 6-0 Shuckers. While the TRats have got the offense going Lara with his 2nd HR this season (let’s go Luis!) and the Luke Adams decides to swing the bat and hits a 2 run HR (oh yeah Areinamo got on with a single surprise). So 3-0 now CFRod wiggles out of a base loaded jam, with it remaining a 2-1 deficit.

    And Peña only misses out because his walk rate is less 10%, Jose Anderson due to his K rate 18%. So all said and done there could be 3-5 of these players. The big 4 (made, Peña, Anderson, Ortuno) rank 3,5,6,17 in wRC+, and 2, 4, 11, 12 in OPS for the DSL.
  12. biedergb
    Ortuno and Lafond with their first HRs. Ortuno - he is smaller -so either we see a growth spurt or he size/power may limit his future profile, like many Brewers prospects.
  13. biedergb
    It will be interesting to see if other clubs use that model/approach for this draft after seeing what the Brewers did last year.

    Another couple of questions for the group- 1, For young pitchers (16-19 yo) in DSL/ACL/Low A - what is a reasonable expectation for growth/height, and expected increase in velocity? I see several smaller pitchers (ie W. King in DSL) and not sure if they would expect to grow enough? And others like M. Rodriguez in low A - how much uptick in velocity is possible? 2. For prospects as a whole who have a year that breaks their trend (ie Luis Lara, or Gregory Barrios from this year): is it more likely that those who struggle (or are average) then break out have more of a chance of continuing success? Or those who have had success and have a down year - ore likely to revert back or stall out?

    Another good start stats wise from Cortez. @wiguy94 did you watch? If do how did he do? I will try to watch tomorrow- won’t be watching any games tonight.

    Pretty impressive run this first half so far and not expected by many, outside the faithful (and I was not one of those in spring training, sorry, but happy to be proven wrong). Great season so far. Yet in the typical for Brewers fashion they slump heading to the ASG. (Didn’t we lose 5 straight to the pirates in 2018 or 2019 heading to the all star game?) Hopefully the team can get it going like most years after the break. Hopefully they will finish the season as started and work on unfinished business in October. Stay undaunted.

    So the top affiliates (AAA,AA,A+,A) gave up a grand total of 6 runs in 4 games yesterday, and 4 wins And today, a grand total of 4 runs in 3 games, and a 3-0 record (with a rainout). Pretty impressive pitching for the affiliates the past two days.

    True. Inning 2 for him was shaky, but his 4th inning (the 8th inning) was his best. I think all his pitches were good, maybe one that was a total miss. But had batters guessing with the curve, slider, fastball and even a change up. Don't recall that from last month, but it may have been called something else in other games/telecasts.
  19. biedergb
    Biloxi with a 5 spot to also sport an 11-2 lead, as Nashville closes the 11-2 win. Who had 11-2 in scoreboard bingo? And who had 7K in 5IP for Ashby. He was much more in control tonight. Looks like the in few innings I have seen he is closer to 50-60% locating pitches which was more like 40% a month ago. So a noticeable bump. Some pitches were poorly executed, but he was more in command. And the fastball even got some bad swings which is a great sign even for one night. Plus velocity was still up to 96 in his 3rd inning of relief.
  20. biedergb
    Let's go Ashby. I can only hope this is the turnaround. But I thought that about a month ago too. I will have to watch his performance from tonight and compare it to June to see if I am ready to believe.

    And funny I’m answering in this thread — and not letting the experts answer. My bad 😬 whoops
  22. biedergb
    I think Patrick could be - let’s see what the season brings for him. McKendry may but hasn’t had as much upward trajectory this year, and may be passed by several others. Cornielle - has the upside but not likely a MLB rule 5 candidate given this is his primary break out year at 22/23 in high A. He doesn’t have the pure stuff to be a middle reliever in the bigs next year using someone else roster space. The next two are tough. Both relievers in the upper levels with stuff that could pitch in the bigs. I see maybe a 40 man protection on one, or more likely a trade.

    He becomes the UT player that I was hoping Guilarte would become this year. Affiliates and MLB teams can use players like that. Not predicting anything but just saying he is an under the radar players who may not have prospect status, but historically the Brewers have found these guys (think Perkins, Monasterio) and gotten solid contributions out of them.

    This may have just made my week!!! A rehabbing Baez means he could be coming back to the Mudcats in the next few weeks. That would be so awesome. I know a very good infielder who they could promote up to Wisconsin, even if Baez is not a SS, but getting him at 3B means Guilarte/DiTuri can cover SS/2B.
  25. biedergb
    TRats and Mudcats have been so much fun to watch, and they have been so good most of the season with mostly young players. Shuckers are starting play what many of us (or maybe just me?) expected given that roster plus the reinforcements. ACL and DSL have entertaining box scores for sure. fun times to follow the Brewers minor leagues right now. And yes the draft around the corner, giving us a few more players to follow. I mean not every draft can be like 2023 where there are about a dozen players to follow. That is not the norm.
