Mr Southpaw

Maybe four pair of piggys and one old fashions starter (my choice would be Woodruff) to try to go 6. That leave 4 in the pen.

My pick Luis Rengifo FA from the Angels. switch hitter who does a lot of things pretty good. 1 year at 5.2 with plenty of performance incentives and a club option.

The Brewers are in a very good place right now. It is just a matter of which prospects make the biggest jumps and the corresponding management decisions on what to do with the excess talent.

With all the talk of our #1 MiLB I thought I would give this a go... Have fun tearing it apart! Not included currently on MLB roster........Contreras, Vaughn, Megill, Bauers, Zerpa, Mitchell, and Ortiz. Multiple trades or comp picks to restock MiLB. Still in MiLB........Pena, Fischer, Hardin, Lara, Wichrowski, Burke, Payne and more. Yelich will be the only player to not be on the 2029 team from this group.

Montgomery please!! 3 years $30 million. wait, wait... 2026 $5 million with playoff and World Series incentive 2027 $10 million club option with innings pitched options 2028 $15 million club option with innings pitched options The dude is 33 so we have to cover the investment.

Jett will be the utility guy. Let him play all 7 receiving positions until they call him up. With Pratt, Made and Pena coming in the next few years there will be no place for him at SS. The Brewers are in a very good place.

Benge and Tong.

That’s why judging trades overtime is such a hard thing to do. How do you judge 1/4 of Shane Baz overtime? Sometimes it just gets a little ridiculous.

Just a note. Baltimore received a comp pic for Corbin Burns, and whatever that person does in the future needs to be put into the calculation. I don’t believe Williams contract will give the Yankees comp pick.

Add one of their outfielders and I say yes. Dominguez or Jones. when we have teams looking at Freddy, we hold the advantage.

Someone had mentioned starting the year with Siegler as our backup catcher. He would add to the infield depth, and if Contreras got hurt, we could always call up Quero until we find another solution.

They have only used one of three options on him yet. There’s no reason to trade him at this point unless somebody’s going to give you something really good back.

Seigler could be the backup catcher for April and May then call up Quero. Anybody think Quero could be the backup in rf, ala Charlie Moore? It would add a little power to the offense.

It is about 160 million. I stop counting after less than 1-million-dollar contracts.

Do you really feel we have a lack of LHP in the BP? Ashby, Koenig, then we'll have at least one of Gasser, Zastryzny, Hall, Quintana (the last two health permitting of course). Quintana would almost certainly work out of the pen if available. People like Philly & the Mets would require we have many options from the left side, but I think we're covered. I would like to be ready if a team stacks their starting lineup with lefties during the playoffs. Gasser, Koenig , and Ashby could all be three inning starters if Murphey feels it is appropriate.

CBS Sports has Gasser as our starter this Sunday. I think it is brilliant! With a lack of lefties in our bullpen, he might be that guy to keep opposing manager from stacking lineups in the playoffs. Any thoughts

Here is a spreadsheet I whipped up a couple of weeks ago showing how much depth we have at every position and level. Outfield seems tobe our weakest position, but that can be filled by multi-talented infielders. Brewers Prospects 2025.xlsx

Thanks for looking. There have been a few changes since. Brewers Prospects 2025.xlsx

I think they will keep all of the A ball players together, maybe Adamczeski moves up to A+. I don't think they will move Made and Pena up this year since they skipped a level. I would expect them to do a A+ 1/2 AA 1/2 next year.

Here is a spreadsheet I just put together using Prospect 1500, MLB Prospect Top 30 and Brewerfan Top 20. I also included Brewers that were Pre-Arby. We have a very healthy organization for the next 10 years. Feel free to download. Brewers Prospects 2025.xlsx

I am very glad our organizational chart looks this healthy and robust. We have at least 7 MLB ready starting pitchers with at least 3-6 years of team control with each level stocked with quality prospects. Our A Level team at Carolina looks soooooo good, it could have 5 MLB position players in 3-4 years. Just happy to be a Brewers fan! Feel free to download. Brewers Prospects 2025.xlsx

I can see a last minute deal with Cleveland... Carlos Santana please!

Carlos Santana, please! Plus some reliever I never heard of.

With all our quality starters, I have been thinking about ways to make sure they don't exceed pitch count until the playoffs. I am assuming a Quintina trade. 1 Peralta/Ashby piggyback (5+2-3 innings) 1-2 innings of relief 2 Woodruff/Hall piggyback (5+2-3 innings) 1-2 innings of relief 3 Misiorowski/Patrick piggyback (3+4 innings) 2 innings of relief 4 Cortes (5 -6 innings) 3-4 innings of relief 5 Priester/Henderson piggyback (5+3-4 innings) 0-1 innings of relief Bullpen c McGill 8 Uribe 7 Koenig 6 Mears Ashby on days 1 and 4 Hall on Day 2 and 5

Arizona is going to try to get us in a bidding war with the Cubs and whoever else. Don't fall for this trap. Botino/Burke and a couple of under 30 prospects. Let the Cubs over pay.
