    Welcome to the board!

    If you told me to guess the first two pitchers injured in spring, DL & JB would have been near the top of the list, so as much as it sucks for them they were both already kind of in the anything you get is a bonus camp for me anyway. Peralta, Nestor, Tobias, and Civale are a fine first four. Obviously the fifth spot is a little murky at this point but can't do much better than someone with Ashby's upside as a place holder until Woodruff is ready. Gasser should be coming at some point later in the summer too. The AAA rotation of Misio, Henderson, Patrick, Carlos Rodriguez, KC Hunt has five prospects with varying degrees of performance and potential under their belts. Megill, Payamps, Koenig, Hudson, Peguero, Mears, Alexander and R5 Connor Thomas is a pretty deep and intriguing MLB pen with guys like Yoho, Uribe, Elvin Rodriguez, the two Grants that got 40 Manned, and Deivi Garcia providing another half dozen or so options. If the Brewers front office and pitching dev braintrust like one of the guys still out there, sure go ahead and sign em up, but I don't think the Brewers have any urgent need to address things as they stand.

    No, I was just joking, that's why I put it in blue. Believe trying to rip a phone book in half is how Steve Sparks injured himself back in the day though.

    Trying to rip a phone book in half and his hand slipped.

    From 1987-96 Molitor hit for 134 wRC+ with his 40.6 WAR ranking 10th in MLB over that stretch, I'd love it if Tyler Black was a Top Ten player in MLB for a decade plus, but I'll take the under.
  6. sveumrules
    Current leaders in the clubhouse for their 1B and corner outfield appear to be... Michael Toglia (2019 1st round pick) 25 HR but only a 98 wRC+ and 32.1 K% last year. Jordan Beck (2022 CB-A pick) stunk in MLB last year, but had a 132 wRC+ in 189 PAs at AAA. Nolan Jones hit for a 137 wRC+ and 3.8 WAR in 2023 but fell off to 70 wRC+ and -0.8 WAR last year. DH is Kris Bryant so you know there will be at bats to be had there as well. I personally wouldn't want to give up Black unless the Rockies ate a decent chunk of money, but they could surely use him. Maybe even throw him in back at 2B over Thairo Estrada or at 3B as the next man up after McMahon appears to be Kyle Farmer. (obligatory mention that Keston Hirua is also in Rockies camp on a minor league deal)

    Rockies don't need Perkins because they already have Brenton Doyle in CF as one of their few actually decent players. Not sure why they'd want to pay someone like Payamps in the bullpen after back to back 100 loss seasons either. Think upper minors guys like Boeve (hit tool should play up at Coors) or Wichrowski (Rockies love big fastballs) would be more along the lines of what COL would be looking for.

    Tattoos sneaking out from the left arm make me think Felipe Lopez.
  9. sveumrules
    Shears was used exclusively in relief for his one pro season. He had 42 BB, 11 HBP and 12 wild pitches in 49 innings. Hard to be a starter with that kind of command.
  10. sveumrules
    Looks like the Pohlads will need to find new buyers as the Ishibas are pivoting to increasing their minority share in the White Sox instead.
  11. sveumrules
    Good news is that even without Dame, Bobby, Prince and only 19 minutes of hobbled Giannis, plus being on the second game of a home/road back to back against a fully rested team that hadn’t played since before the break…the Bucks are still better than the Wizards. Right now the 4-5-6 six seeds are bunched up within a couple games at IND (31 W - 23 L), MIL (31 W - 24 L), and DET (30 W - 26 L). Ideally they end up in that 4/5 seed match up that would allow them to avoid NYK / BOS / CLE until the 2nd round.
  12. sveumrules
    Woodruff’s $17.5M guarantee is spread out over two seasons (and three calendar years) so it’s only an $8.75M AAV.
  13. sveumrules
    Man, tough year for Bobby. First his house gets broken into and his ring gets stolen, then I believe I heard his personal absence for those games was to deal with the loss of his grandmother who practically raised him, and now this. Guess the good news is he should be pretty fresh and ready to rock for the playoffs.

    This discussion is already taking place here…

    & many in the fanbase have spent a decent amount of time since 2020 dreaming up impossible trade scenarios to dump Yelich on top of it.
  16. sveumrules
    If he isn't placed on the 40 Man roster by the end of the year he will be a minor league free agent again. If he does make it onto the 40 Man the Brewers would have the standard three option years and six years of team control.
  17. sveumrules
    ACL is the lowest league stateside so would imagine Jadyn starts there. As a undrafted player he’ll have to flat out rake to approach any kind of prospect status. Believe the profile is cross your fingers and pray he has some of the family hitting talent because he is short with limited physical projection and unlikely to be a plus defender anywhere. Maybe a way too early somewhat realistic best case scenario is something like Willie Calhoun?
  18. sveumrules
    All eight of Hudson's appearances in AAA last year came out of the bullpen and he never faced more than six batters in an outing. It does not appear that sending him to AAA last season was a long term plan to make him into a starter.
  19. sveumrules
    You don't need to extend Turnag to prevent him from walking early, he is still under team control for five more seasons at discounted rates through Arbitration.
  20. sveumrules
    Yeah, Peralta can be dominating for stretches, but he is what he is at this point. Staying healthy for 170 IP with an ERA around 10% better than league average like he has the last two years is probably the best we can hope for. Durbin could be dominating on the bases maybe? Hoskins can dominate for a couple weeks at a time if he gets hot. Haase is a fine backup catcher, but neither he nor Bauers have approached anything resembling what I would term as "dominance" since years ago in AA. A more accurate title would probably be something like "Freddy Peralta, 3 Players Who Could Be Varying Degrees Of Useful in 2025 For The Crew, and Jake Bauers"

    Turang and Ortiz have potential upside remaining over what they’ve already shown in MLB. Dunn has hardly played and Durbin hasn’t played at all. They’re all still kids or young guys relative to their individual MLB timelines. If 22 is the cutoff there were only eight young guys or kids that were qualified hitters last year, That definition might be a tad restrictive.
  22. sveumrules
    It’s the same lineup that won the NL Central by ten games last year. Adames is gone, but that’s not ten wins out the door. Yelich, Mitchell and Hoskins all have upside over last year with potentially better health. Could get a full season of the Chourio we saw over the final four months last year. If he takes another step from there he could cover most of Willy’s lost WAR by himself Turang. Ortiz, and Frelick are all at the point on the aging curve where they could see improvement over last year. Contreras is the best catcher in the game already, but still has upside if he can dial in his approach for more contact in the air. Black and Durbin have had minor league success, just need exposure to MLB pitching to see who they are (or aren’t). Perkins is one of the best 4th OF in the game, could probably start for some teams in CF. Haase is a perfectly cromulent backup C with Quero waiting in the wings. I feel really good about twelve of the thirteen position player spots personally.
  23. sveumrules
    Will definitely be interesting to see how much infield Sal plays this spring. As for Turner, I think Black has first crack at the backup 1B sometimes DH role. After being letdown by so many old DH/1B only types over the years maybe they’re finally over it. Maybe Turner’s never wanted to come here to begin with.
  24. sveumrules
    Nashville needs a SS too and the only other option is Freddy Zamora. Guess the Brewers are hoping Vinny goes unclaimed and accepts his assignment at the end of spring training. If Murphy and the FO consider Frelick to be IF capable they could option both of Monasterio and Dunn keeping Vinny around as the 13th man.
  25. sveumrules
    Bummer, guess the good news with the timing of the surgery is he should be good to go for most of next season if all goes well in recovery.
