They only have six players who would lead our team in home runs.

There’s an unfortunate oddity that I hadn’t thought of until now. If I was a college senior, it would be way better to go in round 11 than in round 10. In round 10, the team has lots of incentive to go as far under slot as possible. In round 11, the team can hand me $150k and not sweat it.

Welp. He is in the lineup tonight in NASH. so that’s probably another day of him not replacing Winker.

Yeah, he had really found his swing again.

I wonder how much of that increase has to do with the fact that college kids can make money on NIL deals now.

Anthony Rizzo. We could send Small or Lauer and ask the Yankees to throw in some cash.

We owe him about 3.4M for the rest of the season. (roughly 41% of 8.25M)

I think if the Rockies pick him up, we get Nolan Arenado.

Plus 1 on this. I will admit. I was cynical about the articles feature when we migrated over from brewerfan.net. I am happy that I was wrong about that one.

I suppose that might be rationale to wait until the trade deadline... but we have games against playoff competitors between now and then.

I like him too... but he doesn't have options, and we're gonna need to take someone off the 40 man. I suppose an upcoming trade could help that and save him. I suppose you could option Uribe and DFA Sousa or something like that. But Uribe seems legit too.

Things that should happen after today's game (IMO): Hiura to the 40 man and 26 man. Winker DFA Justin Wilson to the 40 man and 26 man. Megill to the minors, Jason Alexander DFA Things that should happen soon: Woodruff to the 40 man and 26 man. Mejia DFA

Until further notice, this is an Andruw Monasterio fan account.

I’m starting to wonder if grabbing a bunch of HS talent in the later rounds was insurance against one of the bigger names not signing. That is, if Pratt or Bitonti doesn’t sign, then they have a worthwhile place to invest 2MM

Andruw Monastario currently has a higher wRC+ (111) than Elly De La Cruz (104). When Urias is up or Anderson is healthy, Monastario should DH. (Wish this was sarcasm)

With four signed, we are $1.796M under slot. We have $5.23M plus the overage percentage that we can spend on the remainder of the top 11 picks.

Jackson Chourio Lots of ink saying he's been fine tuning his approach. Mega second half in Biloxi, cup of coffee in Nashville, 2024 ROY. Jeferson QueroJacob MisiorowskiTyler BlackRobert Gasser Ranked highish because of his proximity to the big leagues... not many chances to wash out anymore. Sal Frelick Probably doesn't deserve to be this low, but its a testament to the ascension of some of the other youngsters. Abner Uribe I think he lights it up in MLB and helps this year's team hold enough leads to win the division. Josh Knoth High hopes for this draft pick.Carlos F Rodriguez If he was closer to the majors, I'd have him a bit higher. Cooper Pratt Sign him, preferably by yesterday. Yophery Rodriguez The next big helium guy. Luis Lara Candidate number 2 for next big heliumBrock WilkenDaniel Guilarte Get back to full health!!Eric Brown JrEric BitontiJustin JarvisMike BoeveFreddy ZamoraRobert Moore K% is down below 17%

Don’t look now, but Chourio is heating up. He’s 3-4 tonight. He and Black just went back to back.

Thanks for sharing. That’s what I meant by link. I figured something in the socials.

Do you have a link for that?

I thought about this for a while the other night. I think a HS player and his agent probably agree on a number. If they don't get that number, they go to college. But, that college commit is 3 years before they are eligible for the draft again. So for a guy like Knoth, thats $2M now or three years to risk getting TJ or a torn labrum or something.

1, Comp, and 5 signed $1.485M under slot

Comp pick and round five signed, Net slot: $614 K under

I know that doesn’t add up to anywhere near 60 days on the IL, but it probably would help the team to get roster flexibility. Sucks for Rowdy though. My kids love him. I hope he heals up and finds his swing.
