I’m excited for the day we can hang the “best minor league system” banner. I hope we do it when the Dodgers are in town.

That Biloxi lineup is a real treat

I enjoy the summers. I’d like to enjoy the falls a little more too.

These articles (there’s a Rosenthal article in the Athletic along these lines) make the mistake of comparing the Brewers to the Dodgers or even the Cubs. The comparison is why can’t they spend with Kansas City or Minnesota? The Brewers don’t need to spend another $100M. Just another $20-40M might change the ceiling of an already good team. It doesn’t even have to be every year, just when you have a good shot like this year.

It discusses Mitchell working with Sara Goodrum to make the transition from a line drive slap and dash swing to one with more power potential.

Grisham is an example of a guy who developed power in the system. He seems like a pretty good comp for Mitchell in a couple of ways. Turang has been really young for each level. Power numbers are yet to be determined for him.
