    They need both back, agreed. Arcia yes, Santana no, at least not yet. Not until he shows more power and consistency at the plate. He doesn't have the "good defender" cushion to fall back on.
  2. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Well, he's 25. Already past his peak.

    I totally get what you are saying. I just see things differently. I put a big premium on pitching talent in the minors, and the pitching depth now is lightyears better than it was in 2006. If Hiura is a Braun-level hitting talent, that just helps this system when comparing. I will argue that, when you look at the prospect lists from back then, they most certainly did not have pitching prospects the level of Burnes and Peralta. There is no way Dana Eveland and Ben Hendrickson were even in the same stratosphere as those guys, and is showed when they washed out. Parra had a lot of hype, and Villanueva was decent, but I'd say Villanueva was a Trey Supak level prospect, not a Burnes level.

    Hopefully Guerra goes 8 strong and leaves with a 5-run lead so we don't have to find out Then Peralta goes 7 on Wednesday.
  5. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Wonder what the odds are that our starting keystone a week from now is Arcia and Dozier?
  6. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Eh, nobody threw very many pitches. Yep, Hader should be fine. Jennings will be fine. Woodruff might need a day. Pen is looking ok.

    Besides Jeffress, I see no pitching. I don't deny that the 2006 Top 10 was great. But that system wasn't deep whatsoever. As a reference, take a look: http://www.brewerfan.net/ViewPower50.do?power50Id=73

    Those guys you mentioned were not all in the system at the same time. Heck I could go back through the Brewers' system for the last five years and put together a mighty fine list of prospects too. I agree that those systems back then had a ton of talent, but they were top heavy, and severely lacking in top pitching talent. My argument is that, top to bottom, the current system is as deep and talented (across multiple positions, especially pitching) as it's ever been.

    Outstanding outing from Supak today. Really great to see. If he can start dealing at AA, you can add yet another high-upside arm to the pitching pipeline. Thanks Pirates!
  10. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I don't believe that for one second. What, you don't believe a guy needs a rest after just having four days off? Maybe Dozier is channeling his inner Ryan Braun?
  11. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I'm not worried about the Rule 5 because I think Stearns is going to be able to move multiple guys who need protecting for either MLB pieces during the season, or young minor leaguers during the off-season.

    I don't remember anyone advocating betting the farm for a big splash. This system is deep and talented. Probably deeper than it's ever been, actually. People worried about "gutting the farm" by making trades to improve the MLB club are looking at it pretty myopically in my opinion. It's no different than the Ted Thompson mindset of hoarding draft picks and avoiding outside moves. We simply CANNOT keep everybody we have and we are going to probably lose some next year via rule 5. It is not possible. I don't know what is difficult to comprehend about it for some. Like you I haven't seen any "gut the farm" posts either. Exactly! It's a great problem to have. The system is so talented that they risk losing several players to the Rule 5 draft next year ... for the first time I can remember. There is a ton of talent across all levels. 7-8 years ago a guy like Jake Gatewood would have been our #1 prospect, and probably be rushed at AAA right now as the next big star. Now he is having trouble sniffing the teens on our prospect lists. Great problem to have.
  13. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Not a chance. Thanks for contributing! That viewpoint is compelling.
  14. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Arguably one of the hardest throwers in the organization. Pretty sure I saw a 99 flash up on my screen that inning, and several 98s as well. If he doesn't make it as a starter, that is high-end back-of-the-pen stuff. He is getting overlooked and overshadowed by Peralta, Burnes and Hader, but I think he is a big part of this team in the future ... if he doesn't get dealt in a big trade.

    In potential trade candidate news, Trey Supak pitched an absolute gem today for Biloxi. 8 innings, 1 unearned run on 93 pitches. 5 Ks.
  17. Ron Robinsons Beard
    While I wish he could go a little deeper in his games, he has exceeded my expectations big time this year. He's the solid #3 that he was billed as, and he's arguably been the team's ace this year. Really good signing so far.
  18. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Hmm... Someone in the Twitter thread asked if there was any odd minors substitutions. I couldn't fine any, other than Hiura not playing today. Hmmm .... *ducking LOL
  19. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Yep, we are.
  20. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Considering we're battling the D-Backs for the wild card I don't think that's such great news. There's still 60 games. The Cubs losing is a good thing.
  21. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Ha ... I see what you did there
  22. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Davies is throwing live BP today. If it goes well, he'll go out on a rehab assignment. Doubt you'll see Burnes moved back to the rotation this year.
  23. Ron Robinsons Beard
    That's a huge bummer for him and the team. Very valuable guy. With where this is happening in the year, probably won't be back until 2020.
  24. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I think you guys are possibly overestimating what Britton is going to cost. Considering what Familia was dealt for, I don't think the cost for Britton is going to be significant.
  25. Ron Robinsons Beard
    I think 82brewcrew82 is arguing against the theory of doing that, rather than saying it has already happened. Which I totally get.
