Jacob Misiorowski Still have him over Jesus on account of proximity and the chance he manages to stick as a potential top of the rotation SP. Jesus Made Crazy that he has maybe even exceeded already redonkumongous expectations.Cooper Pratt Holding his own as one of the youngest players in the Southern League. Interesting profile change with a 8.5 BB% | 9.6 K% | .159 ISO so far this year versus a career 10.2 BB% | 20.0 K% | .125 ISO entering the season.Logan Henderson Dazzled in his MLB debut. Work on that slider/cutter in Nashville and wait for the call.Braylon Payne Best OF prospect in the system. Just love seeing this kid succeed, especially after all the consternation over the pick in the draft thread.Luis Pena As nuts as Jesus has been maybe even more nuts that Luis has continued to keep pace.Jeferson Quero Injury Holding Pattern.Craig Yoho Getting acclimated to MLB. Chad Patrick Has held his own for an injury riddled rotation.Robert Gasser Injury Holding Pattern.K.C. Hunt Results aren't quite there yet here at the outset, but best combination of stuff/proximity after Misio/Henderson.Bishop Letson Pretty dominant 1.65 ERA / 2.08 FIP in early Midwest League action.Bryce Meccage Holding his own 2.92 ERA / 3.65 FIP in first taste of full season ball.Caleb Durbin Has helped solidify an ugly 3B situation in Milwaukee.Ernesto Martinez Raking in Nashville waiting for a call.Josh Adamczewski Destroying the Carolina League, have to imagine he'll se Wisconsin soon.Marco Dinges Bat looks ready for Wisco, will just depend on how the catching part comes along.Carlos F Rodriguez Has been lights out in Nashville with his 1.26 ERA and 2.66 FIP ranking 3rd and 5th among 55 International League pitchers with at least 20 IP at the time of this typing.Luke Adams He and Brock Wilken have matching .169 AVG | .183 ISO at the moment. Give Adams the edge for being two years younger and having a more stable looking 13.5 BB% | 19.1 K% compared to a 25.5 BB% | 28.6 K% for Wilken. Eric Bitonti Strikeouts (34.4 K%) and zero HR are a little concerning, but his eight doubles are tops in the Carolina League so hopefully a little breakout is forthcoming. Dang, what a tough vote. Easily another ten pitchers (Cornielle, Hardin, Rodriguez, Holobetz, Gillis, Bjorn, Travis Smith, Melvin Hernandez, Stiven Cruz) and five position players (Areinamo, Alastre, Di Turi, Burke, Wilken) that have made legit cases for those last few spots after Dinges at #17 in the early going. And that's not even mentioning the injury holding pattern guys like Coleman that just came back or Black/Boeve who are yet to play and have been Top 5 to 10 org guys in the past. Or Knoth who we won't be seeing again until next year. Then you've got the new crop of DSL guys (Antunez, Fenelon, Acosta) and ACL guys (Anderson, Corobo, Ortuno) that we have to look forward to later in the summer. Fun stuff.

After losing the Finals at age 27 in 2006, Dirk’s Mavs went out in R1, R1, R2, and R1 before finally winning it all at age 32 in 2011. Next couple seasons look pretty bleak with Dame out, then coming back off major injury at age 36, but who knows how everything else will look two years from now. The “smart” move might be to trade Giannis for the best possible return of young players and picks to get a head start on the next 50 year rebuild, but sounds like Giannis doesn’t want to go anywhere and I’d guess Horst doesn’t want to be known as the guy who traded him away (& the Bucks certainly aren’t smart). No matter what, we’re hoping for a miracle either way, so which one would you rather dream on? A legit contender somehow coalesces around Giannis over the next two to four years to make one more magical run? Or we somehow land another superstar with loyalty to Milwaukee beyond his first extension & assemble a legit contender around them? The Bucks FO has a way better track record acquiring veterans than they do drafting, so I’m cool riding with Giannis until the wheels fall off.

Just a comically obscene walk rate. His .183 ISO was tied with Adams for 6th in the Southern League entering tonight so he’s at least been doing damage in the rare instances he’s getting hits.

Luke Adams two run bomb after a Zavi leadoff single has two more on the board for Biloxi. But that ain’t it. Darrien Miller triple and Ramon Rodriguez sac fly adds one more. Now 6-2 top of six as Bladimir Restituyo has just singled.

David McCabe of Columbus is second with 17 entering the evening.

In order below are the numbers for Brewers 3B in aggregate, McMahon, Ortiz and oft mentioned off season target Alex Bohm... 182/248/283 (49 wRC+) 3.6 BB% | 19.6 K% | -0.6 WAR 152/280/242 (42 wRC+) 14.4 BB% | 33.9 K% | -0.2 WAR 190/264/220 (40 wRC+) 8.0 BB% | 15.2 K% | -0.3 WAR 221/252/274 (45 wRC+) 2.5 BB% | 17.6 K% | -0.4 WAR Brewers might just have been doomed from the jump on 3B this year, though Durbin has at least stabilized things somewhat over the last couple weeks.

Was literally going back and forth between these two (and about a dozen others) for the last couple spots when filling out my prospect ballot earlier today.

Jeferson Figueroa relieved Woody and allowed the inherited runner to score totaling 1 H | 2 BB | 3 K over his 1.1 IP of work. Patricio Aquino followed and closed out the last two frames with 1 ER | 3 H | 1 BB | 1 K to pick up his first save of the season in the 4-2 Wisco win.

Was just following along on GameDay, so no velocity readings were available.

Made (75 PA before today) 323/413/538 (160 wRC+) 10.7 BB% | 20.0 K% Chourio (first 73 PA of 2022) 328/397/516 (145 wRC+) 11.0 BB% | 21.9 K%

Woody got a ground out and pop out to open the sixth before losing his command and walking the third batter of the inning then getting pulled. Got in an extra up/down and seven pitches over his previous longest rehab outings.

Wisco out to an early 4-0 lead as Eduardo Garcia and Tayden Hall walks plus a Matthew Wood single loaded the bases for a Yhoswar Garica single and Hedbert Perez triple. No velo readings on GameDay but Woodruff has 3 H | 3 K over five scoreless with 61 pitches (41 strikes) so far.

Already 0 W - 6 L in their two series vs LAD and SDP so far. White Sox went 10 W - 42 L last year. Rockies might be lucky to win a half dozen division games with the NLW gauntlet this year.

Carolina just relentless. Give up three top of the eleventh, Have answered back with a Walling single, Walther HBP and now a Lameda single to tie it up. And Jesus walks it off with a single. 7-6 Mudcats win.

Henderson threw 78 innings in 2023 coming off elbow surgery and then only 81 last year on account of an oblique issue. He would probably have to be workload managed even more closely than Priester who has thrown 97, 90, 158 and 121 innings in the four seasons since the pandemic. Am guessing they prefer having Logan in Nashville where they can more easily build up his innings and work on the slider/cutter in a lower stakes environment.

Last Day To Vote. Get Those Ballots In. Definitely curious to see how things shake out. Feel like the top seventeen guys on my ballot (except maybe Durbin) are pretty much consensus and will be on most of the submissions in some order or another, but lots of legit options for those last few spots.

Yeah, Jackson's first year stateside was 62 games at Carolina, 31 at Wisco, and then six at Biloxi to end the year, Spent pretty much all of year two in Biloxi (122 games) before finishing the year with six games in Nashville. Third year was last year.

They’ve got Ramon Urias to cover for Westburg while he’s injured. Mayo also has five errors in only 11 games at 3B this year, so it looks like he’s probably still not a MLB calibre 3B either.

First and foremost, I feel terrible for Dame. To go from dealing with some scary real life medical stuff, to probably rushing back too soon in an effort to help his team in what was a longshot to begin with, to now blowing out the Achilles and looking at missing all of next year before coming back in likely diminished form at age 36. As for Giannis, my gut feeling is that he cares more about being a One Team Guy like Kobe or Duncan or Dirk than he does about maximizing his Ring Odds, so he won't ask to be traded this offseason. I think he would view demanding a trade (especially now after Dame's injury) as taking the easy way out, which would seem to go against his character.

He got deked by Wily at second base (or just plain lost the ball) and doubled off in the San Francisco series too, Agree that Sal has been otherwise great to start the year, but part of laying down the law is demonstrating that no one is above it.

Haven’t really dug into the numbers to confirm, but anecdotally it seems like when guys have two start weeks like Misio did this week that they limit their IP/pitch count a bit with only four days between starts instead of the preferred five days rest.

More of a fun fact than a scouting report, but Melvin is currently the only pitcher in all of A ball on the FanGraphs leaderboard in his age 18 season. He’s also one of only two pitchers with at least 100 IP since 2023 while playing in their age 16-18 seasons. The other, Ubaldo Soto of LAA, has thrown all 100 of his IP over two seasons in the DSL and looks to be starting this year in the ACL versus Melvin already notching 22.2 IP with Carolina. Looking at the stats he’s posted so far what jumps out to me is the 53.4 GB% which is 2nd highest among all Brewers minor league pitchers with at least 100 IP since 2023. His 6.8 BB% is 3rd lowest on that same leaderboard so looks like a more of a ground ball, command guy but it’s also hard to strike out hitters that have been around four years older than him the last couple years.

WAR is a counting stat so playing time is included. BRef has credited Tork and his 1,579 PAs for +53 runs in the replacement column vs only +15 runs for Mitchell and his 443 PAs. Where Garrett has closed the gap is by being faster (+3 in base running / double play avoidance vs -5 for Tork), a better defender (+12 fielding / positional vs -30 for Tork) and a better hitter (112 OPS+ / +5 batting runs vs 99 OPS+ / -4 batting runs for Tork). Spencer’s bat is finally coming around to start the season so he’s got plenty of time to make up ground, but Mitchell has provided more value to this point despite playing far less because a 1B/DH hitting for a 99 OPS+ doesn’t really bring anything to the table.

Mitchell was picked 20th and his 3.7 WAR so far is tied with Reid Detmers (pick #10) for 4th among 2020 First Rounders. Garrett Crochet (6.9 WAR pick #11), Pete Crow-Armstrong (4.1 WAR pick #19), and Jordan Westburg (3.8 WAR pick #30) are the three guys who have been more productive to this point. Injuries will likely prevent him from ever living up to his true theoretical ceiling, but he's still been one of the more successful picks even with all the missed time.

With the caveat that I know absolutely nothing about any of these guys…I saw a clip of Stewart getting asked if he wore that green suit because he was hoping to go to Green Bay and the length of his pause before non-answering made me think he had no interest in GB.
