I'm already looking forward to 23 draft this summer, I'm really hoping we can find our 3B of the future this year.... And that dude is Yohandy Morales... Unless he has a huge year, I can see him being available at 18. He would be such a great fit for our future as we'll have Eric Brown Jr or Turang at SS, Robert Moore or Turang at 2B... Morales would look great at 3B for us for years to come... If we could find our 1B as well, that would be great! Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 60 | Run: 45 | Arm: 60 | Field: 50 | Overall: 55 The son of former Cuban National Team member Andy Morales, who played briefly in the Yankees and Red Sox systems, Yohandy Morales was a Top 200 prospect as a Florida high school standout, but wasn’t taken in the shortened 2020 Draft largely because of his commitment to the University of Miami. He stepped right into the Hurricanes’ lineup in 2021, hitting 11 homers as a freshman, then took another step forward as a sophomore, hitting 18 home runs and finishing with an OPS over 1.000 before hitting .400 for Team USA over the summer. In many ways, Morales has a similar profile to what scouts thought he might be coming out of high school. He’s an aggressive hitter looking to do damage and he does consistently barrel up the baseball, showing an ability to drive the ball to all fields. While he’s still power-over-hit, he has ironed out some of the moving parts of his swing that hurt him as a prepster, giving him a better chance to hit and get to that power. A former shortstop who outgrew the position and moved to third, Morales’ strong arm works very well from the hot corner and he has the defensive actions to stay there long-term. That combined with the power profile teams covet from infield corner types should have him in early-round conversations.

Or I guess Mitchell could go back to AAA... Frelick could easily beat out Mitchell for the CF job, there's nothing guarantying the CF spot for Garrett... According to all the prospect rankings, Sal is the better player, prospect. Yelich - LF Frelick - CF Taylor - RF

That would be one way to get Frelick in the OD lineup.... Frelick - LF Mitchell/Taylor - CF Yelich - RF I bet it won't happen tho.

But there's also the chance Frelick/Wiemer suck in AAA, so yea we keep Winker.

Thank you! TT is gonna have a breakout year as our RF vs RHP and CF vs LHP.

Can we please stop with the flipping Winker talk???? If dude returns to what he was before last season and we're contending, why the hell would we trade him? I just dont understand the Winker trade talk.

I just love this deal, one of the guys I wanted for 3B! I love our infield now. Tellez - 1B Urias - 2B Adames - SS Anderson - 3B Anderson is a good player, he was hurt in 21 and 22... When healthy, I know he's the player he was 18-20... Decent power, gets on base, plays good D. Yelich Adames Winker Contreras Tellez Anderson Urias Taylor Mitchell I really like that lineup as well! Now go get one of Chafin, Rosenthal, Reyes for the bullpen and this team is set and loaded!

No way, he’s our starting 3B, moving Urias to 2B. Anderson has been a good player, wasnt healthy last year.

Not sure the deal yet… But awesome signing! I love this move!! Urias to 2B.

Well WS title is the end goal..................

It wasnt just Kepler for Lopez... Sounds like Kepler + Arraez for Lopez... But Twins arent interested in dealing Luis.

I would totally do Lopez for Mitchell... May need to to add more on our side tho. Pablo would be under control until thru 2024 season and I bet we would be able to extend him unlike Burnes and Woodruff. Peralta Ashby Lopez I can get behind that trio!

Really hoping Brian Anderson and Trevor Rosenthal or Alex Reyes are late January/February deals...

Then we better continue draft and trade well... Otherwise could be some long ass summers in Milwaukee... Once we lose Corbin, Brandon and Willy we could be in trouble if we dont acquire good players for these guys.

I know we're for sure losing Corbin but if we're losing Brandon as well, I would rather sign Lauer to extension like Peralta and Ashby received... Trade from our OF depth to acquire someone like Cabrera. Peralta/Ashby/Cabrera/Lauer is a damn good start to a rotation.

I think the Correa deal is more inline for Adames... I would be down for 6 years, $160-$190 M.

I wouldnt mind getting Kim from SD to play 2B... Curious what his cost would be.

No he wont… Toro will be in Milwaukee on OD.

Toro's gonna be LH side of 2B platoon... He'll be in the lineup quite a bit.

We will, Abraham Toro.

I saw this on another site regarding TT... TT will be just fine as our everyday RF. I did some quick "back of the napkin" math on Rowdy, Taylor and Toro just to kind of demonstrate what these extra hits could mean. I only assumed each hit was worth a single. Rowdy would have gone from .219/.306/.461 with a wRC+ of 110 to .234/.311/.476 and a wRC+ of *119-124 Taylor would have gone from .233/.286/.442 with a wRC+ of 102 to .260/.311/.469 and a wRC+ of 117-121* Toro would have gone from .185/.239/.324 with a wRC+ of 62 to a .210/.255/.349 and a wRC+ of 71-74. * To get to this wRC+ projection I took raw OPS and compared it with how other people finished with that same raw OPS last year. And then I ranged it a bit to account for ballpark factors, which we just don't know. For instance, Rowdy's new raw OPS would have been .787 which would have been on par with guys like Justin Turner (.788), Alejandro Kirk (.786) and Josh Bell (.784). The wRC+ range on those guys was 123-129, but I felt like they played in less favorable ballparks. Of course, this is only basing it off last year. With a lot of guys getting a benefit from the shift, its doubtful the wRC+ impact would be as drastic with the entire league seeing increased offense. But I think it's worth noting that, for a guy like Tellez, 8 more singles raises his raw OPS by .20 points which is not an insignificant number, IMO. Also, the Brewers may very well be looking at this and feeling like Taylor could be a full-time player in 2023. His "new" raw OPS of .780 would have been 6th best among qualified CFs last year and 9th best among RFs. A wRC+ of 117 would have tied him with Seth Brown for 22nd among all qualified MLB OFs. Considering his defense would play up in either CF or RF, TT could be a very viable breakout candidate himself next season.

OMG yes!! I wouldnt mind Hirokazu Sawamura, he's been pretty good last 2 seasons. But............ We signed Alex Claudio to MiLB deal today, so that is probably it for bullpen additions. Looks like really not spending any money this winter, what a joke... Gonna waste elite rotation once again.
