    This thread has a list of both who was rule 5 eligible after last season and, further down, two posts referring to which Brewers were set to be Rule 5 eligible after this year. It doesn't include players who were acquired during the offseason. Excluding the upcoming minor league free agents, the most prominent addition to the list is probably the guy the Brewers got in the minor league phase of last year's rule 5 draft, Isaac Collins.

    Weren’t you upset about not getting the Cron/Grichuck package? Is there really any difference between that and Santana/Canha?
  3. CheeseheadInQC
    Not bad, especially if the Brewers had decided they weren’t going to protect Jarvis.
  4. CheeseheadInQC
    Well, if the Angels have one of the best offers out, I think their best tradable prospect still in the minors, per Fangraphs, is a decent Lara comp. That would kind of set a ceiling on where the bidding is now.
  5. CheeseheadInQC
    Not that it changes the point at all, but the completist in me feels compelled to point out Bowden Francis has pitched parts of two seasons for the Blue Jays after being dealt there.
  6. CheeseheadInQC
    Yah, Adams currently has a 156 wRC+ in his age 19 season in low A. Of the 20 others who have posted a 150+ wRC+ in low A as an 18 or 19 year old since 2006, the only one not to make the majors is Edgar Quero, who is well on his way. Not all became stars or even solid starters, but some did, and all at least made it.

    While it isn’t quite Clancyphile with Brent Suter, I will admit there might be a little of that going on since I think I gave him every point he ever got on the prospect polls. That being said, given how he ended last season and then looked in spring training, the only reasons Evan Reifert isn’t a lock is that he has missed most of this year with an injury and that the Rays seem to have a perpetual 40-man roster crunch.
  8. CheeseheadInQC
    That was who I was referring to with the “No, not that one” line.
  9. CheeseheadInQC
    I was trying to guess who you were talking about. The lock is obvious, and I think I might have five of the maybes (one triple-A pitcher, two triple-A hitters, two double-A hitters) but I’m not sure. I will say there is one guy who would have been on the list who, depending on how the rest of the season goes, I probably will be advocating taking in the Rule 5 draft if he doesn’t get protected (No, not that one. Well, yah, that one too, but not as much.)

    It could, or it could just be the return of Guilarte, Hall and Castillo left more players to get playing time for.
  11. CheeseheadInQC
    It feels like so much is going to be down to internal evaluations. How much of Rowdy’s decline was injury-related and is he going to be fully healthy? If you think he is going to get back to his hitting of last year and early this year he is probably the best of the lackluster DH market. Who is more likely to regain last year’s form, Urias or Tim Anderson? Can you count on Brian Anderson to come back and at least provide a floor should Monasterio and Toro’s hot streaks come to an end?
  12. CheeseheadInQC
    You’ve got the following options for the 13 position players: Locks: Two catchers. If Caratini isn’t dealt, these are set. Santana, Adames, Yelich Near locks: Wiemer, Frelick Hitting well, right now at least: Monasterio, Toro Expected back in August: Tellez, Anderson If you have all of these, which obviously some aren’t locks, leaves two spots: Second base: Turang, Miller, Urias 4th Outfielder: Taylor, Perkins Wild card: Hiura
  13. CheeseheadInQC
    I wouldn’t mind if Chourio stays in AA to finish the year. If the goal is to refine his approach to make him more selective, I would rather have him do it in AA to get the toughest part done in a league where he has proven he can hit. Then start him at AAA next year and promote him when he is ready. Don’t rush things but don’t fall into the “But he could be even MORE ready …” trap either.
  14. CheeseheadInQC
    Unfortunately, this is pretty spot on. On a happier note, Carolina has the second youngest offense in the Carolina League and the way they are hitting they might soon pass the two teams just barely ahead of them for the league’s best OPS.
  15. CheeseheadInQC
    *Checks Nashville box* Post coming in 3 … 2 … 1 … 😀
  16. CheeseheadInQC
    I really think that Hiura is a victim of bad timing. Just as the Brewers might have been considering him, he gets hurt (the only batting roster move they made before that was for a replacement center fielder when Mitchell got hurt). He didn’t get hot again right away at Nashville and then by the time he was hitting well again, you had someone on the same type of absurd streak he was on to start the season (Toro).
  17. CheeseheadInQC
    There are obviously differences, especially on defense, but he kind of reminds me of Devanney, in that the Brewers seem to not fully see them as a top prospect but are impressed enough with the results to see where things go.
  18. CheeseheadInQC
    Toss him into the Quentin Low, “when he isn’t walking guys, look out” tier?
  19. CheeseheadInQC
    I will admit, when they re-signed him, I thought it might have been a "we'll let you play as long as you want and then transition to the coaching staff" move. Might have been hasty in that assessment.
  20. CheeseheadInQC
    It is more of a case where you have a ton of prospects of a similar or slightly higher level and only so much playing time to go around. There are only so many infield spots in Wisconsin and Carolina.
  21. CheeseheadInQC
    I know he played some short, but wasn’t Severino basically a corner infield prospect at this point? Regardless, this was ideal in my opinion, dealing from an area of strength.
  22. CheeseheadInQC
    As soon as they decided to keep Ohtani, the Angels were always going to be the team most likely to pay big for a rental.
  23. CheeseheadInQC
    So the White Sox got the second best 20-year-old catcher with the last name Quero?
  24. CheeseheadInQC
    So when none of them are dealt it will just be because all of the GMs are small time thinkers?
  25. CheeseheadInQC
    While Hiura’s season stats are better, Toro has arguably been better of late, along with the defensive edge.
