    BA put out their Top 30's today. Had a couple new additions... 13. Brailyn Antunez (70 run grade) 19. Kenny Fenelon

    Hopefully the timestamp worked.... Though the whole interview is very insightful towards how we look at the draft the last few years. But it's a good point from one of our scouts. The NIL money is going to go to guys who win for the program, and that is transfers and upper classmen. Those 18 year olds aren't getting big money, aren't getting early ABs, and are going to be constantly recruited over. Winning matters less in pro ball than in college. It's all about development and getting at bats ASAP.

    We are zagging at the moment, and that doesn’t seem to be taking college pitchers. I like the idea of taking both Parker twins out of Mississippi HS. One feels like a very Pratt-y infielder (also a Mississippi HS), while the other is a plus plus power OF bat. May be an easier sign if they can still play together like they would at college. I think it was said that our comp pick for losing Levonas last year (68) has to be signed this year or we lose the pick. That will probably be an easier sign, and probably a college senior with a huge savings on bonus (which was about 1.25mil slot last year).

    Really good insight into why we are going at prep kids over college kids in the draft lately. I'm sold, I'm going pro (as a fat old man).
  5. snoogans8056
    I don’t think it’s crazy to say that we have more than a couple guys that could make a similar jump. I think scouts are going to flock to see Made and walk away with 5 other guys that jumped out (Bitonti, Payne, Pena, Adamczewski, a couple of the other DSL kids, and the higher bonus HS pitchers from the past two years).
  6. snoogans8056
    I think he’s also banking on that 17-20 year old group (which there are seemingly 50 prospects) having like 5 of them explode. We are also adding a huge draft class, a huge IFA class, and two years worth of some random 11-20 pick pitchers that nobody seems to factor in until we see them. Like in The Big Short, he’s “not wrong, just early”.

    Any relationship damage is probably already done by just delaying the signing of years old deals
  8. snoogans8056
    I believe there was an anonymous GM MLB.com poll about the minors a week or so ago where it had the Dodgers, Padres, and Brewers as by far the best in the IFA market. Would be cool if this Sasaki stuff soured some trainers on the Dodgers and Padres and we are the big dogs.
  9. snoogans8056
    It still blows my mind how competent we are when it comes to the IFAs. The Sasaki stuff drawing attention to this dumb system is not good for us.
  10. snoogans8056
    He’s probably already signed.
  11. snoogans8056
    Antunez. Gerlyn Payano mentioned as a sleeper. They have us as a top 5 class.
  12. snoogans8056
    Yes. The reasoning is that some of these guys they only saw as 14 year olds (or not at all) and it wouldn’t be fair to rank everyone on talent if they don’t know. So they go by bonus. They do add the “rising” designation to guys they’ve heard buzz on though.
  13. snoogans8056
    Also it should be noted that BA openly admits to not seeing all these guys. Their rankings are strictly based on bonus amount, not talent. We seem to be very good at getting big talent signed for cheap. So don’t go freaking out that we didn’t get a top 20 guy.

    https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/baseball-americas-2025-scout-survey-evaluators-fear-games-direction-amid-doom-and-gloom-offseason/ Baseball America has a free article where they polled anonymous scouts. The Brewers were voted one of the least “scout friendly” just behind the Guardians. Also on the accompanying podcast, Ben Bader commented “I guess these guys haven’t seen Jesus Made” when they talked about the predictions for #1 prospect a year from now…
  15. snoogans8056
    Just Baseball had a new podcast episode today, in the first 5 minutes they are asked about which prospect is most likely to jump from outside the Top 100 into the Top 25, their answer was Eric Bitonti.
  16. snoogans8056
    1)Fast riser(s): Travis Smith 2)Out of no where: Josh Adamczewski 3)Rise into consensus top 100 prospect: Eric Bitonti, Braylon Payne 4)Comeback Player: Jeferson Quero (too obvious?) 5)Struggles/Disappointment: Jesus Made (just because expectations are Chourio) 6)Individual/team predictions: Appleton and Carolina are absolute juggernauts, we get a league championship at the lower levels
  17. snoogans8056
    It genuinely feels like we are on to something big.
  18. snoogans8056
    They’ve got Pratt sneaking into the top 100, but they’ve also got him as our #6…
  19. snoogans8056
    Yeah that list is missing Letson, Baez, Lara, Arienamo, Adamczewski, Dinges, Woodward, Birchard, and any of the DCL guys who put up crazy stats outside of Pena and Made. Or any of the high school 11-20 arms that were drafted and given high bonuses. I don't think we have a very good system when it comes to current top 100 guys, but we have more guys than anyone else that have top 100 potential in the next year. Bitonti in particular has fun write ups because they always have to end with them covering their butts for that exact scenario.
  20. snoogans8056
    Just means Platinum Glove at 3B.
  21. snoogans8056
    Going by neck width, the kid is gonna be a star. Those arms are also crazy for a 17 year old.
  22. snoogans8056
    Same with International Free Agents. I love the current system because it seems to benefit us, as we seem to be doing some wacky stuff the past few years.
  23. snoogans8056
    https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/41947061/yankees-nestor-cortes-expects-world-series-roster I could see this trade being killed during the physical...
  24. snoogans8056
    Which would mean a first round pick for us. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that we asked for that draft pick in the Burnes deal. We must put a lot of value in those comp picks, and the draft money flexibility that comes with it. Would be three straight years of having an extra first rounder or two.
  25. snoogans8056
    Our Latin talent went from being non existent to maybe our biggest strength. How are we doing this? Seemingly, it was very fast. But it also seems that the entire system is held together with making connections and secretly signing kids way younger than they should. That implies it was slow? Venezuela is considered our honey hole, but the rise of Made and Pena from the Dominican last year makes it feel like our inroads there are starting to hit as well. Very exciting. I know we don’t want to give up how the sausage is made, but I’d really like to hear someday how this whole operation came together.
