    Still have my doubts that the org sees Black as a viable MLB OF at this point. He got four starts in CF and two in LF (and three at 3B) during a 13 game stretch from 0710 to 0731. Obviously an even smaller sample, but he’s started two games each at 1B/3B so far in August.

    Contreras workload has been scaled back over the last month plus. Thru June 30 he started 67 of 84 games at catcher, about 80%. Since then he is at 17 of 27 games at catcher, about 63%.

    Not sure it really is. Contreras and Hoskins have DH’ed six of ten games since Yelich’s injury. I’d imagine they’ll get a similar percentage of DH starts from here on out.

    The Brewers rarely play their 13th position player to any significant extent, so I don’t have a problem with them using it now to get Haase through to next year as the backup catcher. OF is pretty full with Chourio, Mitchell, Perkins and Frelick. 1B/DH has Contreras, Hoskins, Bauers and Sanchez. The only place we could really improve is a better IF to help out with the struggling Turang/Ortiz duo, but not sure that player is in the system at the moment. Black is better than Haase in a vacuum sure, but I’d just keep getting him consistent reps in AAA until September because their isn’t really a regular spot in the MLB lineup for him now.

    Carlos Rodriguez the outfielder has gotta be one of the best examples of how much the depth has increased in the Brewers system. Coming into and out of the pandemic he was making the Top 20 based on the promise he showed on the complex and in A+. Now he’s delivering on that promise with a career year in AA and he’s probably outside the Top 30.

    Josh Timmerman maybe next in line for the bump up? Has fifty pretty successful Carolina League innings under his belt as a college draftee. 13.7 BB% could use some trimming, and he's not gonna keep that 0.00 HR9 forever, but otherwise looks like a pretty good promotion candidate.

    Some DSL pitching performances of note... Carlos Carra 4.0 IP | 0 ER | 1 H | 2 BB | 6 K Idalberto Santiesteban 2.0 IP | 0 ER | 1 H | 1 BB | 2 K Ayendy Bravo 4.0 IP | 1 ER | 2 H | 2 BB | 3 K Ranwell Smith 1.0 IP | 0 ER | 0 H | 2 BB | 1 K Josue "Holy" Toledo 4.0 IP | 0 ER | 1 H | 3 BB | 3 K Lonell Downs 4.0 IP | 1 ER | 1 H | 3 BB | 6 K

    Is this a DSL GameDay mirage I'm seeing, or is this real life?? A 4 W - 0 L day on the island?

    Someone posted a graphic recently with whole organization win percentage from the rookie leagues on up to MLB this year and they were in the bottom couple few spots on that too. I was looking at the team leaders for position players 26 and under this year and the White Sox are 30th with -1.9 WAR. They are also capped at the #10 pick in the draft next year with the new Draft Lottery stipulations.

    THRU 30 Trout (6159 PA) 176 OPS+ | 82.3 WAR Mantle (7202 PA) 176 OPS+ | 90.7 WAR Mays (5961 PA) 159 OPS+ | 76.9 WAR Griffey (7319 PA) 148 OPS+ | 76.2 WAR Aaron (7216 PA) 157 OPS+ | 80.7 WAR AFTER 30 Mays (6536 PA) 153 OPS+ | 79.3 WAR Aaron (6725 PA) 152 OPS+ | 62.4 WAR Mantle (2708 PA) 159 OPS+ | 19.6 WAR Griffey (3985 PA) 114 OPS+ | 7.6 WAR Trout (488 PA) 132 OPS+ | 3.7 WAR (6 years | $223M left) Had to put Hank in there too even though he was a RF, pretty insane that he and Willie each had two separate HOF careers. I’d already have Trout ahead of Griffey because his peak was higher, but hopefully he can find a few years of health over the next half decade to at least finish in the realm of Mantle’s regular season career totals.

    Here is the MLB team leaderboard this year for position players in their age 26 or younger season. Brewers are at 2,200 PA (4th) | 9.0 BB% (5th) | 20.1 K% (8th) | 0.44 BB/K (3rd) | .262 AVG (6th) | .121 ISO (30th) | +8.1 BsR (4th) | +13.7 DEF (4th) | 10.6 WAR (3rd) That’s a bunch of fast, plus defending, good plate discipline having, base hit getting youngsters providing a whole lot of value for a first place team . Only thing missing is power production, but that’s got nowhere to go but up.

    Nice dive. Overall I think the system is pretty flush with young positional talent across all the levels… MLB: Contreras, Chourio, Mitchell, Turang, Perkins. Frelick, Ortiz (obviously not all drafted but part of having a strong farm and developing good MLB players is you can trade them or just identify an overlooked guy like Perkins and get him for free) AA/AAA: Black, Quero, Wilken, Boeve A/A+: Adams, Pratt, Yophery, Areinamo, Baez, Lara Rook: Bitonti, Adamczewski, Made, Peña, Anderson, Ortuno And even after that there’s still a bunch of intriguing guys like O’Rae and Fillipo who have been aggressively promoted, EBJ who has struggled and dealt with injury. Hicklen and Carlos Rodriguez and EMJ who have been hitting at the upper levels, Payne and Burke from the most recent draft.

    Good breakdown. Brice has struggled extra hard the last month with a 153/207/165 (6 wRC+) line over 93 PA since July 4th. I’d start by putting him back at the bottom of the order so at least he isn’t killing us out of the leadoff spot. Ortiz should be down there with him too at 148/242/197 (25 wRC+) over 69 not so nice PAs during that same stretch. I’d probably try a lineup like this (with PAs and wRC+ since July 4th)… Contreras (99 PA | 99 wRC+) Chourio (95 PA | 139 wRC+) Mitchell (60 PA | 146 wRC+) Adames (103 PA | 132 wRC+) Hoskins (86 PA | 128 wRC+) Bauers (42 PA | 106 wRC+) Perkins (49 PA | 116 wRC+) Ortiz (69 PA | 25 wRC+) Turang (93 PA | 6 wRC+) I’d try to play Monasterio (30 PA | 72 wRC+) every fourth game or so for each of Ortiz/Turang until they start to show some life. Rotate Frelick (78 PA | 94 wRC+) in with Perkins every three and Mitchell every four games to keep everyone fresh. Get Haase (27 PAs | 189 wRC+) and Sanchez (17 PAs | 139 wRC+) in at catcher to rest Contreras every third game and the DH mix as needed based on matchups.

    Welcome to the board. Think there are a couple things holding Patrick back from getting the MLB call right now. First is that he isn’t on the 40 Man roster yet. Believe the Brewers will have to add him in the offseason or risk losing him in the Rule 5 Draft. Second is that while his 2.68 ERA is no doubt impressive in the crazy offensive environs of the International League, his 4.14 FIP and 4.59 xFIP suggest he’s probably been somewhat lucky with regards to run prevention. Definitely an intriguing rotation option & one the Brewers obviously targeted in trade, but we likely won’t find out what they really think of him until the Rule 5 protection deadline.

    Yoho's already had two TJs and still has pretty limited experience pitching as a recently converted position player. If they were to try and move him into a starting role I'd guess it would still be at least a couple two tree years down the road to give him a chance to build up his inning counts as he only had 40 IP last year and is at 43 IP so far this year.

    Big difference between 2022 and this year is that after 111 games in 2022 the Brewers were already 1.5 games back of STL. This year they will be 4.5 or 5.5 games ahead depending how tonight goes.
  19. sveumrules
    His first seven outings back were between two and three innings each before going four and five IP his last two times. Would guess his MLB role is as a multi inning pen guy but they are stretching him out to get the innings and in case a need for a starter arises.

    Good thing Wisco poured it on to the tune of five runs bottom of eight because South Bend got three back top of nine before Bayden Root finally secured the 27th out in the 15 to 12 TRats victory.
  21. sveumrules
    Brailin Rodriguez allowed the Manfred Mann to score top of eight but a Reidy Mercado walk, a wild pitch and a Miguel Briceno 2-RBI single gave Carolina the 4 to 3 walk off win.
  22. sveumrules
    Luis Lara single (stolen base), Felix Valerio walk (wild pitch) has runners on 2nd and 3rd no outs for Wisco trying to add on bottom of eight. Jadher flies out and Tayden Hall is walked to load the bases for Eduardo Garcia who did hers home another TRat run with the bases still juiced for Ramon Rodriguez.
  23. sveumrules
    & Castillo flies out to send the scheduled seven inning affair to extras in the eighth.
  24. sveumrules
    Satchell Norman leads off bottom of seven with a double in Carolina with Yhoswar Garcia on to pinch run. Yophery Rodriguez (K) and Filippo Di Turi (line out) followed, but the rare Juan Baez walk keeps the inning alive for Daniel Guilarte who has just walked himself to load the bases for Luis Castillo.
  25. sveumrules
    Blayberg Diaz and Satchell Norman singled back to back bottom of five, but a Yophery Rodriguez double play threatened to kill the rally with Blayberg on third and two outs. But Filippo Di Turi came through with the two out base knock to put the Mudcats up 2 to 1.
