    Jesus Made may or may not sign an extension but it has 0% to do with Cooper Pratt signing.
  2. BallFour
    No it did force Chourio onto the 40 man roster. If you sign a MLB contract you need to be put on the 40 man roster.
  3. BallFour
    Who knows for sure but knowing that Made would take up a 40 man roster spot while he is still in AA probably has something to do with it. If they are going to extend Made I think it would come in October or November before the December 1st lockout happens.

    Jackson Chourio 19 years old 2023 wrC+ at AA 109 Cooper Pratt 20 years old 2025 wrC+ at AA 107 The Southern League has had an average OPS of .662 the past two years.

    This has been a nice trip down memory lane to 2019 watching Burnes struggle.

    Even though he doesn't blow away hitters to me Gasser has the stuff to be a major league pitcher. The metrics say that as well. It is going to come down to if he can locate and have an effective game plan to neutralize right handed hitters. Gasser is at his best when his changeup is effective against right handed hitters.

    With the way the current roster is constructed I feel like David Hamilton is going to get a decent amount of playing time at 3B, more so than a lot of fans will want.

    Williams ISO being overlooked because of his height is already getting old.
  9. BallFour
    Fans are going to make a mistake if they think Williams is just another short guy who can't hit for power. He sure knows how to lift the ball in the minor leagues. His swing is a lot like Luis Pena's.

    Frontado, Rodriguez, and Moneys all in the lower half of Baseball America's top 50 2026 International Prospects.

    The board justifies it because the Brewers don't lose many trades. I like Collins the player but I don't like his fit on this team. I keep reading posts that they could just send Collins down because he has options. Well then he loses any trade value he has. Mears stuff declined last year at the expense of more command. With zero options there could have been a decent chance he was off the roster by June if he didn't start strong out of the gate. Maybe the Royals find a way to bring back the juice on his fastball. Zerpa's Sinker-Slider profile matches what the Brewers do well with. I am concerned about his ability to keep the ball in the yard vs. right handed hitters. Decent chance we lose this trade just on these players WAR with the service time they have left. But if you look under the hood Brewers are confident in replacing a Collins with a projected OPS+ of 98 with below average defense in left field.

    Feel like I remember reading about Frontado to the Brewers when he was 14 years old.
  13. BallFour
    Since the White Sox sent him down to the minors and he stayed in AAA for as long as he did he won't have enough service time to become a free agent after next year thus becoming a FA in 2028.

    Thing is I don't think this is Quinn's final form. Give him an off-season and spring training with our staff to see if he can make his cutter better. I am optimistic because his slider is already really good. Its not like its a Logan Henderson problem where you are not sure if he can become a supinator.

    I forgot how we lost a lot of games before the 2021 playoffs. Yes the division was in hand but the Brewers finished 5-10. So even that 14-15 listed above has the context of the Brewers played 6 meaningless games to finish the season. What an incredible consistent run you laid out in your post @sveumrules
  16. BallFour
    Worrisome to trade for a guy who has forearm soreness that relies on a splitter for his out pitch.
  17. BallFour
    For what it’s worth, which is not a lot Hughes and Cadiz are following brewers content on twitter. Underwood never did.
  18. BallFour
    Looks like we have all of our top 10 picks signed now. $2,164,255 to work with according to the great Nolan Bratt on Twitter.
  19. BallFour
    So probably an ideal finish to the class from rounds 11-20 as far as dipping into the bonus pool would be Roupe (reports of signing confirmed), Hughes, and Underwood.

    After watching the replay looks like it was a breaking ball off his elbow pad. With the game tied late they wanted a pinch runner with speed. So deep breaths everybody I think he will be fine.
  22. BallFour
    Right, I highly doubt he is near the bottom of the league in whatever defensive metric the Brewers are using. He would be in AAA if that were the case.
  23. BallFour
    I like this draft better than last year, assuming they only sign a few guys who have the option to go to college from rounds 11-20. Losing Levonas and not using the full pool bothered me last year. people always bring up the 2023 draft but I reiterate that is like once a decade draft. The relationship our two scouts had with Pratt and Bitonti simply cannot be taken for granted. The whole Pratt situation was a huge break for the brewers and since their scout had a great relationship we got to pounce. That is why I love the brewers current setup. They trust their analytical modeling but they also still seem to be able to put emphasis on the human side of the game. I also love the drafting of cold weather state high school pitchers. Idk whether it’s the trust of these particular scouts or the lack of wear and tear on the kids arms. Or a combination of both. But I find it interesting. Also if you are 17 the day of the draft there is a good chance the brewers are going to take you. I love that approach as well because it really gives these kids an extra 2 years to figure it out.

    My choice would be Otto Lopez from the Marlins. 4.5 years of control. Good defensive metrics for both oaa and drs. Doesn’t strike out a ton. Seems like a brewer to me. I know the whole point of this exercise is to raise the ceiling of the team but I just want competency.

    The clock has struck midnight on Patrick.
