    The biggest fish I hope we can keep in our front office is Tod Johnson. He's a bright, organized guy.
  2. Austin Tatious
    I would delete this article. It’s embarrassing. It shouldn’t still be up.

    I think Jiminez has a skill set that we lack in the organization. I would be happy to get him even if we had to give up a couple of prospects between 6-15 in our system who are not pitchers. There's some good prospects in the mix there. Mis or Quero is crazy talk though.
  4. Austin Tatious
    Give Tod Johnson a raise. I think the Brewers exceeded anyone’s expectation with this draft. No one knows how these players will turn out but they did a great job putting us in position to get some hits. They manipulated the draft pool well while still striving for upside even with under slot guys.
  5. Austin Tatious
    Honestly, that felt like one of the best wins of the year. Hard fought, come from behind, against an outstanding lineup. At the end of the year, I think we look back on this one as one of the most memorable wins of the season.
  6. Austin Tatious
    If Knoth goes under it’s because it was all worked out ahead of time. As in, he was prepared to go later and the Brewers offered to take him earlier in exchange for lower $ but more than he would have gotten later.
  7. Austin Tatious
    Interesting. I hadn’t seen that he can touch 98. Looks like he gets great movement. I like a high upside pitcher. We need that.
  8. Austin Tatious
    Soto…Whitman…Hurley. Maybe McGonigle although I’m not sure about the upside with him.
  9. Austin Tatious
    I was hoping Colt Emerson got to 33 but that played out to be a fantasy.
  10. Austin Tatious
    He’s got a rocket arm but may be a stiff athlete. Even if he’s a first baseman, he brings a needed power profile to the system. Let’s hope the hit tool is effective as he approaches the big leagues. Being an advanced college guy helps dampen that risk. He’s got some good performance behind him in the Cape Cod League. Hopefully he can get the strikeouts down.
  11. Austin Tatious
    The speed and defense are tremendous but he is my least favorite guy too. Fingers crossed.
  12. Austin Tatious
    Good point. I would like to see us focus on college pitching heavily after the first 3 picks focus on BPA and particularly upside. We landed Burnes and Woody both that way. Draft quantity in terms of college pitchers and some will emerge to one degree or another. The benefit is also that you can spend more early and balance out your budget.

    Waldrep would be great but I am skeptical that he gets there. Love the pitch mix that he has. Troy or Shaw would be solid picks and on the safer side. If we go college outfielder, I’d much prefer Davis over Bradfield. Taking Bradfield would fill the gap from losing Esteury Ruiz which is a skill set Arnold seems to be interested in, and he can have influence with Johnson as they grind through their discussions. The other thing is if some teams above us go for some under slot guys which allows some unexpected players to drop and we can pounce. Maybe somebody drops that we aren’t focused on like Wilson, Dollander, Nimmala, or Gonzalez. I would be happy with Aidan Miller but I haven’t seen us linked there anywhere. I don’t have an opinion as to whether he can stick at third but I’ve read that there is risk there. Very exciting day. That pick at 33 is huge as it’s essentially a second first round pick. Then you add a second round pick, and the Brewers are in a good position to add three names pretty high on our prospect lists which is nice because we have some impending graduations.
  14. Austin Tatious
    Even though he’s probably going to be a 2b, I could see us running the card up. Excelling at Cape Cod is a huge tell that we will love him. And I agree with that Conversely, I expect that will get Schnauel excluded. You know Tod Johnson has his models and you know he gives Cape Cod data great weight.
  15. Austin Tatious
    There’s risk here but I love the repertoire. He’d be on my short list.
  16. Austin Tatious
    My last word. The word simple there was used to point out that you didn’t need an extra base hit or a home run. Somehow you missed the context and decided to make an issue out of me saying it’s easy to get a single. This isn’t helpful on a message board. You didn’t like me being critical and you decided to go low. It’s not needed.
  17. Austin Tatious
    It’s a stupid argument. I don’t know why you decided to go there. The Cubs reliever was laboring. Two men were on base. You didn’t need a home run. You didn’t need a double. All you needed was a single to win the game. Tellez is your first baseman. That’s a position where you should expect run production. He didn’t deliver. It was the difference in winning or losing the game. None of this is controversial. You got caught up in the semantics of it to try to mock someone else. It’s not necessary. You can chase away other fans from posting. The case also illustrates the importance of batting average and driving in runs. OBP is important too but people who want to outsmart everyone else by pretending that BA is not important need not look any further than that situation. If you can get a hit, you can drive in a run and win the game. A walk doesn’t win the game. From a first baseman, with the game on the line, you want him to knock it in. There’s no randomness to it. That’s the exact situation he’s paid to perform in.
  18. Austin Tatious
    And yes, dying on that hill is in effect a choice to defend Tellez.
  19. Austin Tatious
    Douchebaggery aside., it’s absolutely stupid to ridicule other fans from expecting major league hitters from executing. Listen to yourself. These aren’t fat middle aged men in a beer league. Good God. Get it together, man. Function in the real world.
  20. Austin Tatious
    That’s fine. I was just making an illustration.
  21. Austin Tatious
    Thanks for the post. To clarify, I was referring to first round picks. I think drafting up the middle makes sense but it’s getting to foaming at the mouth levels. The mistake is that third base is athletically one of the most challenging positions to find. Black has been playing third and maybe that puts an end to the problem so let’s see. I tend to doubt he can play league average defense there but you never know. The bat looks solid. I think a SS draftee who profiles to third over time is a perfectly valid way to do it. As for first, drafting a profile like Fielder might be a hard sell to their current thinking but he was a shrewd pick. To be clear, I’m very happy with Tod Johnson. He’s been a massive upgrade in the draft room. I have been pounding the table that the farm system that he has stocked is much better than national rankings have been suggesting. I was extremely critical of the prior drafting regime and the results bore that out. Tod is drafting well and I’d hate to lose him. While I like the up the middle emphasis at the top of the draft, I don’t want it to the exclusion of corner infield. Third base is an athletically challenging spot and first base could use a special bat. These are still premium skills. As deep as our outfield is in terms of prospects. I’d love to see the infield catch up.
  22. Austin Tatious
    I’d be happy with Davis. I agree with your comment about him being underappreciated. I don’t know if they go for him though. I do think one of the second basemen could be the choice here like Shaw or Troy. They could rise quickly and be at second here soon. I like Aidan Miller even if it will cost extra money but I just don’t see him fitting the Brewer profile. A really smart team like Tampa or the Dodgers will no doubt jump on him.
  23. Austin Tatious
    Winker at some point is a sunk cost. Arnold will have to answer for that but in the meantime you need to upgrade. I can’t imagine another franchise thinking Winker is an attractive trade option unless it’s just a total throwaway. I hope he’s brushing up on Korean cuisine.
  24. Austin Tatious
    Wait? What? What was the whole point of the potato salad diatribe if it wasn’t a defense of Tellez????? Tread carefully.
  25. Austin Tatious
    If you put Hiura in the lineup every day in the 6th spot and put him at some combo of 1st base and DH, what do people reasonably think his stats would be this year? .225 11 HR 30 rbi, 36% K, .730 OPS? Something like that? Is that better than Jesse Winker? At what point are the Brewers yanking him around when their alternatives have failed spectacularly?
