I'm going to guess Garrett Mitchell. And I agree. If he can manage to stay healthy, he's got a big season ahead.
-
Because he thinks Perkins and Payamps are DFA-worthy. Diff'rent strokes I suppose. -
Let's look at recent headlines focused on Misiorowski: Back in starting role, Misiorowski touches 99 mph in spring debut Misiorowski Ready to Shine in Starting Role for Brewers Brewers Might Move Young Starter To Bullpen: 'Could Be Their Closer By August' Jacob Misiorowski Shows Electric Fastball but Struggles with Control Misiorowski Dominates with Elite Pitches on Top 100 Prospects List I don't see anything out there that is making an attempt to mislead the public. Every single one of these articles states that Miz came up as a starter, was switched to a relief role late last year to prepare for a possible call-up (which ultimately didn't happen), and that he is now once again being looked at as a starter. To answer your question, a sure-fire starting prospect is going to have more trade value. But I would personally hope that the Brewers move Miz to the pen before trading him to a team that views him as a starting prospect, because he has truly dominant stuff.
-
Forgive me, then, for not really seeing your argument.
-
Who forgot about that? I think pretty much everyone knows that he has the type of arm that you find a spot for.
-
So let me get this straight. You are tired of reading articles that claim that just because Miz was the 1st pitcher yesterday, it means that he's being groomed as a starter. But then acknowledge that he is, in fact, a starter. Makes sense!
-
LOL who is offended here? You stated an opinion, and I (among others) countered it.
-
He throws triple digits, is 22 years old, and has been dominant as a minor leaguer. He has years (yes, YEARS) before that happens. He's also a top 100 prospect. Every single team in the majors would absolutely love to have an arm like his in their system. I imagine he's one of the first names that comes up in any high-end trade talks involving the Brewers.
-
That article interviews him saying that HE wants to start. He's a high pick that is only 22 years old and is on the cusp of the majors. The Brewers have absolutely no reason not to see what he can do as a starter.
-
Um, no. He's 22.
-
There are articles claiming that? I don't think his role has been determined yet. I imagine they will exhaust every avenue to make him a starter before moving forward with him as a reliever. Value-wise that makes the most sense.
-
McMahon is a mediocre 30-year-old 3B with a large contract playing for a team that isn't going anywhere. Those types typically don't demand a big return. My guess is the Brewers could get him by flipping the Rockies a couple of lotto ticket-types if they agreed to take on the majority of McMahon's contract. They will need to give up more if they expect the Rockies to eat a chunk.

Name Yer Brewer, Episode 2
Ron Robinsons Beard replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Only player I can remember who rocked the full arm sleeve/cut off sleeve combo is Domingo. He showed so much promise early on, but once opposing teams figured him out, he just couldn't adjust. -
"Breakaway" is a yo-yo trick. How about that one?
-
I can tell you right now that this board would very quickly grow weary of DeJong's huge K% and inability to get on base. Yes, he hits dingers at a pretty solid rate, especially for a middle infielder. But I think it is pretty obvious at this point that the design of this roster is keyed not only on run prevention defensively, but also on speed and getting on base, two aspects of DeJong's game that are pretty non-existent at this point in his career.
-
As usual, you are completely failing to see any of the context. Heck, I don't even really disagree with bigred on this particular thread. You of all people should know that when you put contrarian-type overtly negative opinions out there, then get defensive and accusatory (along with playing the victim card) when called on them, it isn't going to go over well with the majority of posters,
-
Literally NO ONE has acted in that manner.
-
I think I likely speak for most everyone here when I say I'm getting a tad sick of this holier than thou victim card schtick you keep pulling out. You throw negative take after negative take out there, or just keep on banging the same negative take drum, and you get offended when called on it. When you go to a site named "BrewerFanatic" and continuously rip on the team, you need to expect there is going to be pushback. And when you push back on that, it's going to come back at you even harder, especially when you don't bring really any specific ideas to the table on how you would accomplish what you'd like to see done. Instead you tend to try to tear down anyone who has any shred of optimism toward this team. I am not telling you how to fan. That's certainly not my place. And as I've pointed out, I totally understand the frustration with what the team has done this offseason. But beating on the same idea in thread after thread is getting old.
-
Right. Improving the lineup doesn't always mean "eye for an eye"
-
-
Well, they'll also get a premium pick in the 2025 draft as compensation for losing Adames I guess, but I totally get your point.
-
C-, and that's probably being generous. It was a pretty boring offseason, even by Brewers standards. But I have learned over the years to expect that this team will likely find 1-2 good starters out of the scrap heap signings, and I want to believe that they must see something in Oliver Dunn or Caleb Durbin in order to feel comfortable going into the season with those guys playing big roles. No reason not to believe that the pen won't continue to be a strength, especially considering they were pretty lights-out last season when Williams missed a large chunk of the year. At this point, this front office has earned the benefit of the doubt if the goal is building a team that will contend for a division title. The real question is whether they have the horses to go beyond that.

Yelich might not be ready for opening day?
Ron Robinsons Beard replied to TURBO's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Oh, I am one of the biggest optimists around this site. But when it comes to Yelich in particular, I try to be very careful with my positivity LOL. -
What I saw was you using Counsell's exit as yet another opportunity to "hate" on the team's front office and ownership ... which kinda brings this conversation full circle.
