    Did mine…wish we could do 30 (would match the MLB top 30 lists) or at least 25.

    I have always agreed with Hader on this point. There are also times where it’s not the the ninth that’s as big of a deal as an earlier inning. Suppose the ninth is the bottom part of the order but in the eighth, the middle of the order is up and maybe a runner or two gets on. The hold doesn’t really capture that value and it’s arguably a more important event than retiring the bottom three in the ninth for a technical save.

    Great article. One of my all time faves. PS he was a southpaw.

    I like Rogers but that would make a heavily lefty-laden rotation with Miley, Gasser, Ashby, and Hall already in the mix. I wonder if the Brewers would prefer Max Meyer or possibly Cabrera back from Miami. A framework around one of those pitchers makes sense though. The other two guys aren’t attractive for the Brewers IMO. Something would have to be changed to make it make sense to deal Wiemer. Even lotto tickets.

    That’s entirely fair. But I made that point with more recent drafting in mind under the current regime, with guys like Tyler Black, who went around 34, and Jacob M who went even a bit later. In terms of the draft, I have liked our process much more in recent years. In prior regimes, the FO members would come out in the media and talk about how they liked tall, protectable starting pitchers like Jungmann, Bradley, Fredrickson, and Eric Arnett. They had a type and it failed spectacularly. The current regime has been drafting with much more sophistication. Some of these young guys are bubbling up now and time will tell how they all do. But right now I am far more bullish on our process than what we were doing 10 or more years ago.

    DL Hall is someone I followed since his draft year. He was someone I had on my short list for the Brewers back then. I want to say that was the Hiura year but I’d have to double check. He’s got very good arm talent and was always a top 100 prospect. I have to wonder why he was never able to get stretched out so I can’t comment on whether he can be a starter. But he can be very strong reliever at a minimum. That 34th pick can be huge. If you convert that into a top 100 prospect, then you’ve received three top 100’s.

    Why don’t the sports leagues just develop their own streaming business and sell it DTC, cutting out the middleman? Isn’t that more profitable? There may be an initial capital expense, but ultimately it would be all gravy. One way or another, they will have a product that consumers will pay for. My interest is getting the Brewers the most favorable cut. The more this can be a shared enterprise, the better.

    Great move. Very exciting! This guy was at the top of my list for filling a need. Reminds me a bit of when we added Grandal. Pleasant surprise.
  10. Austin Tatious
    Good article. If he can get to that middle level at a consistent rate then I think he can be a regular. Hopefully he’s getting stronger in the offseason. He definitely needs more pop. Player development can be an arduous process. But if you can get to that middle average and OBP plus add some more pop, he can be a plus player. He’s very athletic so there is hope for development. I am also intrigued by Oliver Dunn. I think there is some pop there although he may be far less versatile.
  11. Austin Tatious
    I didn’t realize he had such a solid year. He’d be a good get but what to give up is a dilemma. PS enjoy your work, Tim. I like your interviews with Sparky and your written content.
  12. Austin Tatious
    Mat Gamel. Man I had high hopes for him.
  13. Austin Tatious
    Gut feel. Brewers and Yankees make a deal for Burnes within the week. Yanks are motivated and far more decisive than their rival Orioles. I think there’s a good match here to be had.
  14. Austin Tatious
    Agree completely that the Yankees seem to be the best fit both ways for a trade that makes sense. Hampton, Arias, and another pitcher who has the peripherals they like in terms of movement and spin rate would make sense.
  15. Austin Tatious
    I’m glad we stayed away
  16. Austin Tatious
    Very good stuff, Spencer (and Joseph). Love the insights and info. I am confident that the data you provided is the reason the Brewers wanted this precise pitcher. No, he’s not ranked highly, but the Brewers obviously liked his particular metrics. I think if we are lucky we get a Mike Fiers caliber pitcher. He was very solid for a period.
  17. Austin Tatious
    Great article, Reilly. Finally, an insightful piece from a Milwaukee perspective.
  18. Austin Tatious
    Gross. Doesn’t seem realistic. The trade out would be Burnes and the Burnes comp pick which is a high pick. Scherzer at age 39 and the middle of a season landed the Mets their top prospect in Acuna’s little brother. Burnes is worth considerably more than that. Brewers aren’t taking spare parts for Burnsie. When fans write articles, they love to trade their spare parts and redundancies for elite players, lol. The acquiring team needs to feel pain or else it’s not realistic.

    Last year might have been my favorite draft as far as I can remember. Knock on wood. Famous last words, right? Now watch it crash and burn! Love Tod Johnson. I say that as someone who relentlessly hated our draft process for many years and I took a beating on this site over it.
  20. Austin Tatious
    Outstanding article, Cheesehead. Please write more!! I am expecting us to have a heavy pitching draft between college and juco pitchers. I was surprised like you were with how many high school guys we took last year, but it makes more sense when you consider they took advantage of one of their inefficiencies, drafting later and paying them far above slot as an opportunity to upgrade as many picks above grade as possible.

    Texas might be my favorite trade partner if we can get Porter and others. I definitely want pitching back with upside. Then I have no problem dealing Williams to Baltimore for a package involving Mayo. I’m comfortable with the back of the bullpen headlined by Uribe, Megill, and Milner. You’d still have Payamps in a setup role. Upcoming infield involving Mayo, Black, Dunn, Turang and Wilken in the next couple of years. Personally I would extend Adames since Burnes and Williams would be gone and there would be money. Adames has leadership qualities that can be overlooked when looking at stats. Young starting pitching with Gasser, Porter, Rodriguez, hopefully Mis. Good young OF. That young core would be exciting to build from. Hopefully we hit college pitching hard in the ‘24 draft and international market.
  22. Austin Tatious
    One of my favorite prospects. Love his profile. Would like to see how he develops on breaking pitches going away from him. Can he be patient and go the other way? May determine a lot. That’s a tough skill.
  23. Austin Tatious
    No, I would build around Frelick not trade him. I’m not worried about his rookie stats. I think he showed good signs of being a sparkplug. He’s going to set the table, get on base, and score runs. We will really regret it if we trade him.
  24. Austin Tatious
    Wiemer is an enigma to me. To be fair, though, IMO he needed all of ‘23 at Nashville but was pressed into MLB action. Absolutely love his power/speed/defense (range and arm) combination. But I absolutely hate his approach at the plate. Wild and erratic. If that can get reined in, he can be a quality player. That’s an unknown though. Out of Mitchell, Chourio, Frelick, I’d put Wiemer behind them on our priority list.
  25. Austin Tatious
    Spencer is one of the most astute and rising Brewer observers out there so this was an interesting read. The trades were very clever. I would hate to trade Mitchell but the return would be worth it. I can’t see the Murphy free agent deal though. Regarding Turang I still think he can be a .260 hitter with plus defense and base running. That equates to a quality player. People are down on him but it’s the rare player who cones in to MLB and doesn’t need a big adjustment. Look at Freddy, Burnes and Woody. All took time and struggled initially. As CC says, no jump in level is more difficult than going into MLB. There’s value with Turang as he has time to adjust. That doesn’t mean we don’t trade him as Spencer suggests. If he does come back and he sticks at .220 next year then maybe the upside won’t materialize. Personally I hope we re-sign Adames at a rate commensurate with a guy who has two straight years of struggling with his hit tool and who isn’t a top of the order bat. I still think he can be a core player at the right price. If we don’t bring him back, as most people seem to expect, I suspect Turang is back. But I do think we make a couple of surprising, if not jarring, moves this offseason.
