Jett and Adams I think are very likely protected as I think teams would actually pick them up but Jett is likely on the 40 man before the season even ends anyways. Maybe even Adams at this rate. Don’t think he’s really a 3B option but he’s likely a long term Andrew Vaughn injury away from being on the 40 man and also 26 man now. But obviously don’t want any injuries. Also the best long term RHB 1B option in the system currently assuming Vaughn is traded after this season or walks in FA next season. Out of the pitchers I think Kuehner or Childers might have the best shot cause I think they could be solid MLB relievers. But they’re iffy in terms of actually being worthy of being protected. I don’t think anyone else is really worthy of being protected as I don’t think they’d get picked off by anyone. Maybe 1-2 guys since the Brewers depth in their system is the best in the MLB currently. Keep in mind there was only 13 rule 5 draft selections last season. 15 the year before that. Most teams didn’t even use it to select anyone and just opted for keeping their own internal options. So you can probably bet most of the guys people would worry about getting selected would just be passed over and still be Brewers prospects at the end of the day. As a Brock Wilken stan I’m confident he’ll be back in Nashville next year unless traded before then. Nobody’s gonna take him in the R5 draft. I could see Wichrowski, M. Rodriguez or O’Rae as guys picked off by teams other than the ones I said above but the Brewers don’t really have a good reason to protect these guys either.

Look for Coop to get his first big league HR this 3 game series in hitter friendly Cincy

Small size fluke but I think he’s just trying to get on base, no XBH yet, not swinging for the fences really, which is fine cause he’s still helping the team win ball games and he’s fitting in. Not swinging at many bad pitches at all showing his discipline. He’s gotten hits on a few tough pitches. 3 steals already and showing off his base running prowess

Updated untouchables for me: Made, Adamczewski, Frias

The grass ain’t always greener

Luke Adams holy moly. And the Frias promotion is timely. Nothing left to prove at the rookie level

Thru 4 games, very pleased with what he’s shown, mostly soft contact but that’s fine .333 avg, 2 RBIs, 2 stolen bags and adequate defense after the first game. We’ll see if he can get any hits off hall of famer Chris Sale today

Also Eric Bitonti with a 5 hit game yesterday

Promote untouchable Alexander Frias to low A

Trying not to get too excited about Frias until he starts doing this at higher levels but man he seems special

Don’t think he has really, I swore I saw he did a few days ago when Jett was filling in for Lara in the OF. Maybe I’m wrong. Believe Wilken has been at 1B all season too

Unreal.. he couldn’t have thrown that better

Gonna have to look outside the org for someone at the 3B spot. Need a slugger there defense be dammed

I wish Jett and Wilken weren’t hitting ..225 and .166 at AAA to force the 3B issue. Luke Adams has been on somewhat of a tear but small sample size

Just one of those games that makes you want to rip your eyeballs out

I’m fine with Sal hitting as he’s been solid VS RHP. But I did want to see Pratt get a shot in a spot like that just to see

Vaughn now hitting .352 with 37 hits and only 13 Ks

Did William ever explain why he had that pony tail the first game of the season?

Mitchell balling out lately

He is now starting every game vs LHP instead of Sal who as you said is completely trash vs LHP, in addition to coming in as a PH or defensive replacement damn near every game. Could give Lara all those ABs and defense opportunities and then also give one of Chourio an occasional off day vs RHP or Mitchell vs LHP to get him PT

Just call up Lara if Perkins is gonna be playing this much the next 2 months

That doesn’t mean anything when he hit .200 and the entire team sucked. The injection Lockridge got can take 6-12 weeks to heal the area? Good God I hope they just sign someone else instead to replace Perkins before then

It was bad enough I had to watch Perkins get meaningful at bats in playoff games last year let alone still being on the team now

91s still below average, .209 avg, .678 OPS vs LHP yea I’d rather have a dude off the street
