    If Rivero can keep the control issues in check, that pairing could be pretty fun for as long as it lasts.
  2. CheeseheadInQC
    Too early to be really excited about Pratt’s future in Milwaukee?
  3. CheeseheadInQC
    And assuming Knoth is in a piggyback role this year, we could get Letson as well. They were slated to pitch on the same day at least once this spring.
  4. CheeseheadInQC
    Based upon the upcoming schedule, it looks like the initial 6-man rotation will be Wichrowski, Cornielle, Jimenez, Aquino, Manfredi and Rudy.
  5. CheeseheadInQC
    To Biloxi, I would guess Cornielle, with Yerlin Rodriguez as a possibility if he starts out hot.

    Most minor league catchers who play a lot of games play a lot of games at other positions. Quero doesn’t. In terms of games caught, I believe one minor league catcher caught 100 games last year, and it was a 28 year old minor league veteran. Most minor league starting catchers catch between 65 and 85 games per season and Quero was smack in the middle of that.
  7. CheeseheadInQC
    Do we know if those catchers are staying in Biloxi, though? One might swap up or down a level to fill in. If they want to get him significant catching time, you avoid triple-A with Quero.
  8. CheeseheadInQC
    As someone who is bizarrely high on him for a low-profile pitcher who struggled in rookie ball, I am glad to see Corniel getting starts this spring.
  9. CheeseheadInQC
    Honestly I was fully expecting him to have been on the 60-day list that came out, so maybe he will be back earlier on (or there are still more to come).
  10. CheeseheadInQC
    I wonder if the new regulations count guys who are over for camp as well. Otherwise it seems odd that unless I have missed someone only two players from last year’s DSL squads have appeared in lineups or as reserves so far.
  11. CheeseheadInQC
    Yep
  12. CheeseheadInQC
    I am simultaneously gutted for them and vaguely relieved the list isn’t (at least thus far) longer. We already knew about two of them, and Reyes is entering Preston Gainey territory having not pitched since 2021.
  13. CheeseheadInQC
    They aren’t on the 40-man. Anyone not on the 40-man who doesn’t make the team just gets sent to minor league camp.
  14. CheeseheadInQC
    It is weird after recent years that you could make a case that the Brewers’ fourth and fifth best outfield prospects (O’Rae and Ibarguen) were considered infielders until late last year. Of the guys mentioned, Collins’ stats should be catnip for me. He takes walks, rarely strikes out and displayed at least some extra base pop. I just can’t get past how the Brewers haven’t exactly been treating him like a prospect. Also, Perez seemed to be putting it together before his injury. Now he has to prove it is for real and not just a random hot streak.
  15. CheeseheadInQC
    The rankings are all over the place on Ryan. If the Brewers are toward the high side, they might take a 1-1 deal.
  16. CheeseheadInQC
    Interesting that Daniel Corniel and Manuel Rodriguez have been brought over the last two days, even if they didn't appear. I wonder if this is a sign the Brewers foresee them ending up on the Carolina side of the Carolina/ACL bubble. Also nice to see Freddy Zamora's name.
  17. CheeseheadInQC
    I once had an editor essentially tell me “Can the acronym stand on its own? If so, just stick an S on it and be done with it.” I can understand the rationale behind not sticking an s on the end (although I would argue it would have to be applied no matter which word in the acronym takes the plural). There is no “right” answer, but it is one of those things that divided people in my former job into bizarrely passionate camps, and for a couple of reasons I was on the RBIs side.
  18. CheeseheadInQC
    I don’t comment on every one, but the level of the content this spring has been so good I can overlook the fact that a couple writers at least seem to be on the wrong side of the great how to pluralize RBI debate. You have no idea how high of a bar that is to clear.
  19. CheeseheadInQC
    I am guessing that the reason most regress toward the mean is because they found that produces the best results. These aren’t about producing a result that mirrors the eventual ERA distribution. They are about finding the most likely result for each individual player. If you wanted the projections to look like the eventual ERA leaderboard, it wouldn’t be hard. Create a curve based upon leaderboards from recent seasons, use the projections as a ranking and place the players along the curve in that order. The thing is, if that were more accurate on a player to player basis over a number of seasons, that is likely how it would be done. It is not. You aren’t wrong, though, that the mean is far from the only relevant part of a projection system and that projecting reliever to starter is difficult on numbers alone.
  20. CheeseheadInQC
    Yah, given that practically the whole projected triple-A and double-A rosters plus a bunch of prospects who will start on one of the A-ball teams have been brought over, the ones who haven't kind of stick out like a sore thumb. Of the pitchers who haven't, the only other names I haven't seen from a double-A standpoint would be King (who someone said had a really good performance in a sim game), Gardner (they usually give the pitchers who threw in Australia a bit more time off, if I remember correctly) and Knarr (coming off injury).
  21. CheeseheadInQC
    Murray and Zamora are the best prospects on the list and Dorrian is obviously the closest to the big leagues. For the three guys on the list coming off really disappointing seasons, however, all are going to struggle to find infield playing time. Valerio is looking like the No. 7 infielder at Biloxi. Garcia is only in a slightly better situation at Wisconsin and Acosta is possibly in a worse one. If you asked me to pick an infielder coming off a rough season to break out this year I'd probably put Gregory Barrios slightly ahead of Garcia and definitely ahead of the other two, simply because on the surface he appears to have the clearest path to consistent playing time.
  22. CheeseheadInQC
    I checked, and it doesn’t appear he was already 19 upon signing, so I think you are right. He might have gotten the two Brewers confused. There are going to be almost no newly eligible international signings this year because of the shift of the start of the signing period from summer to winter for 2020/2021. The only exceptions are the handful who signed during the 2019 offseason. Among those I believe is Yerlin Rodriguez.
  23. CheeseheadInQC
    Four Brewers got mentions in Fangraph's Names to Know article which discusses 100 prospects who didn't make their top 100. The list was divided into groupings. Josh Gasser was in the low-variance starter category and Tyler Black was in the Issues on Defense section (although the writeup was surprisingly complimentary of him at 3rd given the category he was put in). The two less expected names on the list, however, came in the Guys Who Sit 97-Plus Category: Quinton Low and Yerlin Rodriguez. Each of the four got a little writeup.
  24. CheeseheadInQC
    Yah, I get pretty obscure with the tier 3 ones, which made it tough when I had to find a different pitcher at the last minute when I forgot who I was initially going to use. My apologies to Wande Torres. @damuelle and @Joseph Zarr, thanks for your lists. It is great to get the perspective of people who watch more of the games, especially on the hitters in this case. If I hadn't decided to make it 4/4, I probably would have picked seven pitchers and Alastre. Even beyond the starters, look at the likely triple-A and double-A bullpens. Between us we mentioned Chirino, Russell Smith, Yeager and Shook. Then you've got Myers, Holub and Shears, to say nothing of Shane Smith, who I don't really even consider a sleeper anymore. And you've got others like Gardner off his Australia domination and King, who needs better control but racks up strike out after strike out. Wholeheartedly agree on Rivero and Rodriguez being really intriguing as well.
  25. CheeseheadInQC
    I could see Holub and Chirino factoring into the triple-A discussion as well, depending on how other things shake out. That looks like a really deep team on paper (they could have seven 40-man position players starting on opening day), but there is a chance that injuries and opt-outs could reduce some of the excess numbers as well.
