    Kinda peeved that the Mariners took the guy I wanted not once, but twice. Wanted Cijntje and they took him. Wanted Sloan, and they took him. That being said, I like what I’m hearing about Meccage. I’ll take a HS pitcher with good build and elite spin any day of the week.

    Just when I thought we were gonna take our usual college hitter, the FO throws a curveball. I have to imagine this is more of an underslot lottery ticket to enable us to swing for the fences later.
  3. narwhalattack
    I mean that was the kind of profile we favored up until last year- slap hitters we’d hope would develop some pop (and usually never would)

    I can’t see us taking a HS pitcher early in the draft. 2nd round maybe, but not in the 1st. If I had to guess, it’s gonna be a college hitter. And of the guys listed in the article, Benge seems to be pretty solid. I do kinda like the idea of drafting Brecht and seeing what our pitching lab can do with him. His control is BAD, but if we can improve that even a little, he may turn out to be something special.

    “Trading ace for budgetary relief” doesn’t sound that much better. Here’s to hoping that Ortiz keeps up his performance!
  6. narwhalattack
    I really hope Hall turns things around and avoids the “We really traded our ace for this guy?” category.
  7. narwhalattack
    I know it’s extremely early in the season, but I hope that Hall gets his velo up and figures out his command, because otherwise the Burnes trade would look a bit less palatable

    If that’s true, then I stand corrected. It’s still a bit of a bitter pill to swallow to have to send away home grown talent once they reach the peak. I hope that there will be more moves coming soon, because this offseason has been a bit of a head-scratcher for me.

    IMO the team has been pretty good, but hasn’t been quite good enough get over the hump. I don’t think they’ll settle into a stretch of mediocrity, but it’s hard to be optimistic that they’ll become much better than they already have been. Feels like the payroll has been relatively unchanged for the past several years- I feel like the limit has been hovering around $100m ever since I was in high school. And I’m almost 30 now. I don’t expect the Brewers to financially compete with the likes of the Dodgers and Yankees, but this kind of status quo feels more like a “We’re just happy to be reasonably competitive” mentality. This offseason in particular seems to lack a strong direction- just the FO seemingly trying to make the team look mildly competitive.
  10. narwhalattack
    I’m just confused as to what the FO’s goal is. It just feels like this team is in limbo- just good enough to maybe get to the postseason, but not quite good enough to get very far after that. This team is also not terrible enough to warrant a rebuild. The FO does nothing for much of the offseason, then gets some buzz going by getting Hoskins, and then trades away their best pitcher for guys that are likely solid regulars, but unlikely to become much more than that.
  11. narwhalattack
    Can’t say I’m surprised that we didn’t get much more than this given that Burnes had one year left on his contract (and his numbers seemed to be slowly trending in the wrong direction), but I gotta say, this is a bit of a befuddling offseason. We do nothing for a good chunk of it, then we get a much needed bat at 1B, and then we trade away our best pitcher for a likely reliever, an infielder version of Frelick, and a comp pick. It’s like the FO can’t decide if they want to compete or not.

    I’m just happy we’re swinging for the fences here. I was fully prepared to see a run of org-fillers on Day 3.
  13. narwhalattack
    What an absolute masterclass of a draft. I thought we’d be lucky to be able to sign just one or two of the later HS picks, but we ended up signing almost all of them!
  14. narwhalattack
    Beat me to it :P

    This is probably the most exciting draft class I’ve seen in quite some time. I’ve been hoping for more power bats and arms for years, and the FO delivered big time.
  17. narwhalattack
    I mean at this point in the draft you’re either taking lottery tickets or org fillers. One can make the case that it might be better to gather as many lottery tickets as possible and see what sticks. Although what worries me is whether we’ll have enough money to sign all the earlier HS picks from Days 1 and 2.
  18. narwhalattack
    I thought the rest of the picks were going to be underslot guys, but our FO really is swinging for the fences even now. I wonder how many of the high school guys we’d be able to sign…
  19. narwhalattack
    Seems like we’re at the point in the draft where we no longer have any idea who the guys are
  20. narwhalattack
    Carico gone too. Damn Cubs 😒
  21. narwhalattack
    No idea who Woodward is, but makes sense as an underslot guy given that Bitonti likely isn’t gonna come cheap.
  22. narwhalattack
    Eric Bitonti- SS/3B We’re really loading up on potential 3Bs this year! It’s as if the FO is making up for all the years they’ve neglected the corner IF position.
  23. narwhalattack
    A somewhat undersized pitcher with a wicked curveball. Sounds like a certain former Brewers pitcher!
  24. narwhalattack
    I thought that was the case for 2021 as well, but when I looked back on it I realized that we did take some swings, but just couldn’t sign many of the late round picks.
  25. narwhalattack
    I feel like every year we say, “Maybe these Day 1 guys will sign under slot so we can swing for a home run on Day 2” but it turns out to not be the case. I have a hunch that Knoth will be more costly than most people think.
