    Think Lauer has any trade value? There are mlb teams with far less front end talent at the SP position, and he is a AAAA/MLB starter. Owen Miller starts of 2023 reminds me a bit of Jace Petersen 2021 June-July. His cog was during the hot streak. Owen was the only cog during a team wide slump.

    Lauet is not impressing to be a MLB option this season. ‘His FB is at least 92.x mph in 6 th. Better than 90-91.

    I could get used to that top of the line up Mitchell-Chourio-Black-Wiemer

    Every write up so far - each level had several good to great prospects, and all were competitive teams. that is a great theme to have in the minors. Multiple prospects at all levels, and all teams faring well individually and in the W-L column too.

    Yeah the most exciting thing about this summer in the minors was having both increase in talent (prospects stepping up and/or improving) and adding talent (mlb draft, international FA), AND having success. Seeing the teams play well. And Carolina being so young, and the Shuckers being led by some young and impactful players. Each level had players to watch, rarely a night off from prospect watch. What a summer. Hopeful these players develop. I want some day to do a deep dive into the prospect pool and how it compares to prior years (2004-2006, 2014-2015, and the 2017 peak years). A few high end players, good overall depth, and in general overall youth of those prospects (about 1/3 of the top 30 prospects are teenagers and several only 20-21)

    I would say it has been a good start, team playing well in weak division. We have taking advantage of. pitching is the strength, but no offense, and the production that Santana and Canha have provided has been good, but not overwhelming. Compared to 2021-2022 trade deadline deals where the trades were abysmal (outside of Escobar), getting 2 wins and one loss is an improvement. let’s see why he can do in the offseason. Woodruff and Burnes - will he deal them or sign them to deals? and what offensive upgrades in the offseason? can he rebuild the bullpen. the draft was a big moment, that was a huge shot in the prospect pipeline arm. I am still very hopeful, but not ready to anoint the Arnold era yet.

    Great write up. A very talented team, and young too. One of the most fun teams to follow. Several solid hitters and a few quality arms. Let’s hope they keep playing in the playoffs. Avina and Adams are both so young and with great year hitting primarily with power and timely hits. Lara and ORae are solid on base machines with solid contact approaches. Looking forward to the Appleton squad next year.

    I know. But Williams is half of that. And payamps was brilliant for 2/3 of the season. I guess Uribe could be one. But beyond that the minors are filled with the same - good first half and not great second, or good for a month or two. Hopefully someone will emerge.

    2019-2022 it seemed we could develop pitchers particularly relievers, seems like the well is drying up outside of the top 3 pitching prospects. ‘A few look ok, but most have struggled to be consistent all year long (that’s the brewers MO from big league to low minors it seems). and the big league team could use some pitchers. Burnes, Woodruff, Peralta and Williams can’t do it all. let’s see if some pitchers here can move up and become valuable big leaguers.

    Not criticizing CC as much as stating that the September magic was really 2017 when there was no expectations and the young team did well, 2018 with a great team roster that got hot at the right time, and 2019 when Yelich willed the team and the rest of them went on a roll after he got hurt. That was also with more expanded rosters when mixing and matching was easier to do. Counsell has done well, but I don’t think there is a September run, and it has been several years since there was one. Sadly this roster is all pitching and many pitchers haven’t met or exceeded expectations save a hot month or two (outside of Devin, and Wiley has been as expected or better since he has logged more IP than expected).

    Craigtember last really occurred in 2019. since then they haven’t really starred in September. ‘And without the real talent, it’s hard to manage to wins. Somehow CC has done well with less than stellar talent. Hopeful the prospects that come up can change that. Now who will manage next season if CC bolts.
  12. biedergb
    Wow. Wasn’t he a higher bonus pool international signing a few years ago? I looked it up and he was. $1.3 M in 2019. Reading this article, that 2019 class was not great. https://www.mlb.com/news/brewers-sign-prospect-luis-medina

    Did not feel good coming into this Series. It seems like this is a place the Brewers play so poorly. It was a house of horrors in 2017/2018, and sure we played very well here in 2021, but no matter how bad the Pirates are, the Brewers play poorly overall in Pittsburgh. Ugh.

    If Wagoner and Woessner could trade halves we have one heckuva SP. It will be interesting to see how they fare next season.

    I was a frequent flier 10+ years ago but strayed away. I love the work here on the minor league forum and also in the daily wrap ups. Amazing. With the current prospects being as exciting as 2002-2008. Time will tell if as fruitful but still fun to read about and watch. Awesome job to all who do the had work so we get to enjoy! Much thanks

    Nice game by mudcats. Top of the order (orae, arenaimo, hall, adams) with a solid game. Y. Rodriguez made it interesting with 2 walks. But closes the door.
  17. biedergb
    At this point he has to be in the discussion for a call up or for roster consideration next year as an IF/UT, right?
  18. biedergb
    Anyone see Lauer game? Does he look better than earlier this year? I can’t remember what his fastball was in early season.

    This thread makes me sad about the a couple of the worst trades of the past few years Bush for Kelly. No return at all, and could you image Uribe-Kelly-Williams in the pen next year ;( And the Daniel Norris for Reese Olson trade. Hated the trade then, hate it more now. We haven't seen too many traded players actually do much (Haniger and Garrett Cooper years ago were a few exceptions), so I guess it's OK to lose a few. Plus - Topa doing well in Seattle. High risk, but this season high reward.

    Thank you. I guess I always assumed a HS player good enough to be drafted - was drafted or went to college - and most who didn't go in the draft assumed they had to go to JuCo/College to build up draft stock. Is this rare? Or rare for the Brewers - as I don't recall seeing that before. Most UDFA are JuCo or college seniors.
  22. biedergb
    How was Reece Walling acquired. A high school UDFA? how does that happen?
  23. biedergb
    Anyone know why Martinez was removed from the game in biloxi?
  24. biedergb
    It would likely be Ashby if healthy and ready to pitch. Otherwise I see Lauer since he’s been a big leaguer. Wouldn’t Misiorowski burn eligibility years or take a 40 man spot? He’s 1-2 years from being mlb ready. Tempting to bring that heat, but probably not this September.
  25. biedergb
    Do the September call ups have to be in the 40 man roster? that will impact right? and historically (even when rosters could be bigger) CC chose prospects for a cup of coffee to see the bugs, or guys with one great tool (speed as a PR; defensive sub; or a RH or LH option for late inning PHing).
