Definitely not very. There are usually a few, but they often have already pitched in the DSL. He was over 12 years younger than the league average lol. -
BA has additional scouting reports for some of the non-T100 Bonus Board guys in this article. One new name, that hadn't been brought up anywhere that I can find, is RHP Luis Aguayo out of Mexico. He was pitching in their winter league as a 16 year old (turned 17 in late November of 2024) and struck out more than a batter per inning, though with a WHIP of nearly 2. He's up to 94, according to the article, and has the potential for a plus changeup.

Fangraphs' (Eric Longenhagen) rankings were released. Kenny Fenelon at 23 with a 40 FV, Christopher Acosta at 48 with a 35+ FV. Brief write-ups on both are available on "The Board"

Some extra video of Antunez from Curt Hogg, that got buried a bit, because he was locked out of Twitter at the time, and only ever posted it on BlueSky. I've said it in here before, but I think he's the prize in this class. The other two big bonuses definitely have fun profiles, but Antunez just looks like a dude in every video I see.
-
Had the same thought. Wonder if there are a chunk of $250k-ish players. I was able to track down around 30 names, and that's just off social media digging, so I'm definitely assuming it'll be a pretty big class. Pitchers tend to be the ones that are harder to find pre-signing and often very cheap.
-
Yeah, I screwed up and accidentally posted before I actually typed out my message there lol, but definitely sounds like a guy in the Luis Corobo, or in the most ideal world, the Jeferson Quero mold.
-
T100 bonus board came out today. Only one more Brewer added to the list at #89 in Isaias Chavez, who should be receiving around $500k in his signing bonus. Confirmed to be a catcher. He is described as having a "plus arm" and it says, "his blocking and receiving are good for his age, as well"
-
Yep, I've got all of these down, thank you for the reminder tho!

Minor League Predictions 2025
Spencer Michaelis replied to jay87shot's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
Dang @ARobsBrewCrew stole a good chunk of my answers, so I'll toss in some alternates lol 1.) Fast riser- Woodward is the one I believe in most, but I'm also a big believer in RHP Jaron DeBerry, who was a personal favorite of mine going into the draft, so I'll go with him. Those two could probably fit into the next category as well. 2.) Out of nowhere- OF Frandy LaFond (Encarnacion was going to be considered here) and RHP Dikember Sanchez (I think they use him as a starter and he blows up a bit) 3.) Rise to Top 100- OF Braylon Payne 4.) Comeback player- RHP Cameron Wagoner (I also would pick Birchard as my top choice) if we are just talking injuries. If we are just talking a bounce-back season, I'd go Wilken. 5.) Skip 6.) Predictions - Marco Dinges shows that he can stick at catcher and the bat plays and ends up a T30 guy on every list by the end of the season, Yophery Rodriguez has a higher OPS in High-A than he did in Low-A., Areinamo and Adames take some time to adjust to AA, Pratt hits 15+ HR and Brett Wichrowski raises his K% in AA by nearly 10% (idk, I'm just getting random with it now) 7.) Future star that doesn’t fit other categories - I'm copying this on Corobo, the defense/arm is special for his age and he has some pop, he has the Quero type of profile and potential breakout in him. -
Just a heads up, both Joseph and myself had some things pop up this week, so the final part will now be recorded some time next week. We are still taking Sounds or general farm system questions if you have them!

The second embedded video showing a White Sox player getting hit in the face with a throw before the pitch was pretty perfect lol

The Brewers made a series of moves that make the 2025 squad look considerably different. Jack and Spencer share more thoughts on Nestor Cortes and Caleb Durbin as the return for Devin Williams, break down the three left-handers the Brewers added to their pitching mix, and discussed MLB's study on pitcher injuries.

I will do my best on this! It feels really clunky to me when I keep saying the name, so my natural instinct is not to, but I've actually noticed myself going, "wait, who are they talking about now" when I'm listening to other podcasts too. So I definitely get it lol.
-
Still taking T-Rats specific questions if you have them! (If you have Shuckers or Sounds questions, go ahead and toss them in if you'd like to as well, we will keep track of them) We haven't touched on a lot of the over-arching questions you guys have asked. I have them all filed away somewhere, and my plan is to end the final episode by going through the questions we haven't touched on in any specific episode 🙂
-
17 for me. I definitely factor in risk and MLB ETA’s to my rankings, but I generally lean toward higher ceiling players which Durbin is not.
-
Keep in mind, these are simply rankings based on how much they will be getting in signing bonus money. While the higher bonuses tend to be the best players, you should also keep in mind that a guy like Jesus Made received the 39th highest bonus in last year's class and Juan Baez received $10k a few years back. FTR, I think Antunez is the one to watch as a potential star in this class. Fenelon is super talented and I think he's going to be a really solid prospect, but I think he may already be maxed out physically and will need to cut down the swing and miss. Antunez just has *the look* to him when I see video and watch him operate.
-
We are taking them! You can just reply here 🙂 we will make this the official call for T-Rat specific questions!
