You literally said it. 100 losses, scorched earth, top 3 at minimum draft picks, huge bonus pools. Is it guaranteed to work? No. But at least I'm giving myself a shot at 5-8 WAR players making nothing (relatively) for the first few years of their careers so I don't have to go out and trade all of my prospects to get these guys. I said it last night. After the 27th out was made in game 162 I would've been shopping Knebel, Santana, Shaw, Anderson, probably not Nelson because he's hurt and has no value, maybe Davies etc. Doesn't mean I'd trade them but if I was blown away with an offer, you bet I would take it. I think they all overachieved last year and are due for regression and they're not really core players anyways, so you can always flip guys like that for prospects and have other prospects fill their spots. So this team isn't built to compete as currently constituted and the Brewers should continue to stack prospects? What about the 40 man roster crunch? What about rushing players to MLB when they aren't ready, impacting development? While I understand the idea of regression when does simple maturation in the case of Shaw, Anderson, Santana and Davies occur and not have it be a career year? What happens if they all replicate 2017? Doesn't that make their value even more in 2019?
