    General thoughts. CC probably envisioned moving a year ago. You could read between the lines and body language providing zero encouragement about being in Milwaukee. The Chicago part shocked me and at my age it is hard to shock me with anything. They didn’t even have an opening. While they are trying to whitewash it, it’s unprofessional. The Chicago media is saying that Ross was totally blindsided. Their organization is not my problem or concern so let them function with their own conscience and ramifications of others in the industry who might not want to go there in the future because it shows how they will be treated. CC has about the same sincerity as Reggie White did when he said God guided him to Green Bay. They are lining their pockets in those situations.

    Villanueva would be interesting while keeping Pat Murphy as a mentor of sorts.

    I’m intrigued by Clayton McCullough, the Dodgers first base coach. From what I’ve googled, he was a candidate in Cleveland and they did like him. Apparently the Dodgers rave about him. But I agree with @Lathund, we, as fans, don’t have access to enough information to have more than a hunch on who would be good.

    I would definitely be interested in Lux but as part of a package with young pitching with upside (high spin rates). I have touted our system as long as anyone before I felt it was recognized properly. And as much as I like the likes of Mis, Gasser and Rodriguez, I’d like to see more high upside arm talent added to the system. We are deeper in position talent. I expect us to focus on pitching harder in the next draft and hopefully in LA (although we’ve been stronger with position players there, e.g., Chourio, Quero, Baez, Lara et al.). Either way the talent influx has been great. Mitchell, Frelick, Uribe and Turang already. Now layer that with Black, Chourio and Gasser next year. Mis, Rodriguez and Wilken by 2025. We will see about others like Eric Brown and Wiemer and how they fit in. Either way, that’s very good influx of talent, energy, fresh legs, and upside. It will need to coalesce and get acclimated but it sure beats the alternative. With the next acquisitions, would love to see more emphasis on high spin rate electric arms that can start to balance out the influx of talent. Hard not to be optimistic. Stay good and retool without collapsing.

    Wiemer to me could use a full year at AAA to work on his plate discipline. Right now he makes Carlos Gomez look disciplined by comparison. A taste of MLB might have been good for him but IMO circumstances caused a premature MLB season. If he can figure out a more stable approach at the plate he can be a player of consequence both offensively and defensively. Very good potential in terms of power, speed and D. But it has to still materialize.

    Hoskins seems to really match up with team needs and budget if you can get him for the right number of years. But the Brewers tend not to bite on some of my targets so take my view with a grain of salt.
  7. Austin Tatious
    I like Miley a lot but the question is whether the money will be right considering he’s a pretty big risk. Brewers want to be shrewd with resource allocation and risking substantial cash on an aging guy may not be their move.
  8. Austin Tatious
    Combination of a player who is expected to regress to his norm and not risking capital on a 35 year old. As well as he played last year, that’s not how this group is going to allocate resources lest they get in a bind financially. Hopefully they move on from Winker and Tellez. No brainer to do so.
  9. Austin Tatious
    Brown has been really good since May, which has been great to see. Hopefully he builds on it next year and rises through the system.
  10. Austin Tatious
    Very good article, Tim. I think CC has been phenomenal and I’d hate to lose him. But you raise some good points and your precise examples and comparisons to Bochy are very apt.

    The Brewers making a deal with Baltimore would probably be the least surprising scenario. Baltimore has surplus young talent and can’t forge a pathway for them all. They have been under pressure to make a deal for veteran pitching for awhile. But it’s not a lock. First, we don’t know if they’d deal Burnsie with Woody hurt. Second, you’d like good young pitching talent coming back and the O’s are light there. The Brewers can drive a hard bargain considering they have no need to do the swap and Baltimore doesn’t have precisely what they want. All in all, I think Baltimore will be motivated to potentially overpay with what they do have. They’ve been under the microscope for not having already done it.

    I’m a huge Woody fan as we all are. I have all the empathy for him both with his career but also financially. But I can’t see giving him anything beyond prove it money in ‘25. Coming off a missed year and major surgery, he’s not looking at market value in ‘25. It’s sad to say but with age creeping up and a major injury he’s losing the biggest leverage he had to get a huge payday. I’d be generous but far under market price for a pitcher of his stature. I’d then want a third year option. We don’t know the back room conversations but I’d say there is almost no chance there wasn’t the topic of an extension broached along the way. Peralta and Ashby took it. Woody and Burnes didn’t. You can bet on yourself as a player but you’re taking a massive risk too by eschewing guaranteed money over the life of an extension. Very unfortunate but I would be harping on this big time in the future with other young players if I’m the Brewer FO. It burned Woody. I feel for him but he did it eyes wide open.

    @Smichaelis9these write ups are great as usual. The best part is the deep dive in explaining their data and adjustments they are making. I follow the stats all season but you charting out their trends, e.g, Brown getting above an OPS of .780 after a tough start, is very helpful.
  14. Austin Tatious
    Rhys Hoskins is perfect for what the Brewers need. His results are highly predictable. He’s going to hit .240 and pop around 30 HR and 85-90 rbi. For a team whose big power guy hit only 24 HR with only 80 ribbies while sitting at a pathetic .217, they need a run producing bat at a corner infield spot.

    Megill is really coming on. That could be huge.
  17. Austin Tatious
    With Chourio, Frelick and Mitchell ahead of him, I could see him dealt at some point.
  18. Austin Tatious
    Wiemer has tremendous raw physical ability but his approach makes Carlos Gomez look disciplined. He seems to be a slow learner in that regard. He’s still as erratic as he was at the start of the year but it’s a worse situation because pitchers have a book on him and have figured out how to take advantage of how undisciplined he is. Defense is superb but Mitch would be an upgrade on the playoff roster.
  19. Austin Tatious
    Let’s hope Freddy can keep rolling. We could use it.
  20. Austin Tatious
    Canha has been huge, actually vital. I don’t know where our OF would be without him.
  21. Austin Tatious
    Exactly. Player development. Winning while you’re still developing young talent.
  22. Austin Tatious
    Stearns, Counsell and Tod Johnson have been tremendous for the Brewers, the best leadership we’ve ever had in terms of developing an organization for sustained success. You can nitpick a decision here and there but that’s beside the point. What they’ve done is set in motion organizational philosophies, structure and functionalities that have allowed the Brewers to succeed despite market size and keep it going. Unless you’re a Ryan Braun level guy, our young players come up and take their lumps. Burnes, Woody, Peralta et al. Now we are working in Turang, Frelick and Wiemer and are still in first place. Add Black, Chourio, Gasser, among others, next year. We have lost Stearns but we can maintain the organizational philosophies he’s put in place. Hopefully we can hang on to Johnson and Counsell. Murphy would slide into the Counsell role but he’s the best manager here of our lifetimes. He’s still young so hopefully they can work it out.
  23. Austin Tatious
    I wouldn’t bring up Mis this year but would strongly consider Gasser. Mis needs to improve his command.
  24. Austin Tatious
    Hopefully DFA’d. There are folks here who can’t take realistic criticism who will defend him to the death. We can and should do better.
  25. Austin Tatious
    I will take it!
