  1. Boeve always kind of struck me as a Lyle Overbay. That's fine at 1B.
  2. Also I don’t think it’s a coincidence that we have an insane DSL class in what just happens to be first year with the new facility. The whole group may be more prepared (both physically and mentally) than those that came before them. Could be especially exciting with 17 year olds getting the full pitching lab experience before even coming stateside.
  3. Seems like Baseball America finally got fed up and released the data. He does genuinely seem special. Here are his numbers compared to our Chourio in the DSL (they have about 20 other top prospects also in the list and he kind of destroys them all): In Zone Wiff % = Made 10%, Chourio 11% (both are top top tier here) Chase% = Made 15%, Chourio 27% 90%EV = Made 104.2, Chourio 100.4 MAX EV= Made 108.9, Chourio 106.8 (MODS - Feel free to delete if this is too much given away)
  4. Bradfield is listed as 170lbs. Payne was listed as a 190lb 17 year old. Kid is gonna be a big boy.
  5. There was a picture posted a while back of both Made and Pena already in Arizona. Would assume they’re a package deal unless both need to be played at SS.
  6. Cervantes definitely jumped out. I always sort by age first thing on these draft lists. Just last year we had only 2 high school draft picks out of 12 that had birth years in the previous year (Tobias and Broughton). Year before was 5 out of 10 (Pratt, Letson, and 3 unsigned guys). A lot of these high draft picks / highly mocked are well into being 19. We don’t draft that. Payne was a full year younger than most of the first round high schoolers. Bitonti and Knoth were younger than a good majority, and they were drafted the year before.
  7. Prospects #31-40 were released for all teams on BA today. Our "next 10" included 5 teenagers, and only 3 guys over age 20 (Isaac Collins, Yorman Galindez, and Wes Clarke). It's kind of crazy how young our prospect depth is.
  8. There was a graphic on (I think) Baseball America comparing him to another highly regarded DSL player, and they had very similar EVs, OPS, and everything. Made had everyone doubled up on hard hit percentage and all the plate discipline stats. The DSL doesn’t have public numbers on this stuff, but BA has them, and they are pushing this more than anyone. His metrics have not been seen before. Really makes me wonder what they have on Antunez as they are banging that drum pretty hard even without the gaudy DSL numbers.
  9. “no debate he would be 1-1 in this upcoming draft”
  10. BA put out their Top 30's today. Had a couple new additions... 13. Brailyn Antunez (70 run grade) 19. Kenny Fenelon
  11. 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.
  12. 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).
  13. 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).
  14. 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).
  15. 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”.
  16. Any relationship damage is probably already done by just delaying the signing of years old deals
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. Antunez. Gerlyn Payano mentioned as a sleeper. They have us as a top 5 class.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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…
  23. 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.
  24. 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
